Watch Fox!

Capitol Police and animal control had to deal with a fox.

The controversial far right cable network is not the talk of DC. It is a small red fox and she was a biter.

Foxes often avoid human contact. They often prey on small animals, pets and are normally night creatures. However they are as urban as coyotes, raccoons, pigeons and squirrels. They burrow in areas close to buildings in urban settings. Foxes often look for vacant buildings or open prairies to burrow. They often avoid biting people unless cornered or someone attempts to get near its burrow.

The canine was aggressively attacking people near the U.S. Capitol. The Capitol Police and Washington, DC wild animal control caught the fox.

The animal was spotted on the grounds of the Capitol and it has been nipping at people.

It's possible that the animal had a borrow with its pups [kits] and it's just protective. Also if the animal could be rabid but that's danger to those who came in contact.

They had caught the canine. They had to euthanize the fox.

“The D.C. Public Health Lab has confirmed the fox that was captured yesterday tested positive for the rabies virus,” a statement from the city’s health agency said, advising anyone who had come into contact with the animal or its offspring to reach out to the authorities. “D.C. Health is contacting all human victims who were bitten by the fox.”

Washington health officials said earlier in the day that the fox had been euthanized so that she could be tested for rabies, eliciting an outpouring of sorrow for an animal that had become something of a mascot during its brief wanderings near the Capitol. But in an era of pandemic precautions and contact tracing, the diagnosis prompted speculation about who might have been exposed.

Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA) confirms he got bitten by the fox.

Representative Ami Bera, a California Democrat who had reported being bitten by a fox near the Capitol on Monday night and was treated soon after, said on Wednesday that he felt “healthy” and was back to work.

Ximena Bustillo, a food and agriculture policy reporter for Politico who had also been bitten on Tuesday, said she was not contacted by D.C. Health officials about the positive rabies test before the announcement became public.

It was not immediately clear what additional measures would be taken for the local fox population after the positive test. No other foxes were found on the Capitol Hill grounds, an earlier D.C. Health statement said, but it would not be uncommon to see more.

The status of other bite victims was unknown. Treatments for rabies, which can be fatal, should be started “as soon as possible after exposure,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The late vixen’s children — known as kits — were also found on the Capitol grounds and recovered on Wednesday morning, D.C. Health said. Officials said they were still determining what to do with the kits.

The Capitol fox, as she was christened earlier in the week as she roamed the grounds of the Capitol, was captured by animal control officers from the Humane Rescue Alliance on Tuesday afternoon. The Capitol Police and the Humane Rescue Alliance did not say at the time what would happen to the animal, referring questions to the city’s health department.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I would never touch a wild animal. 

Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.

It's the unfortunate cause and effect of animals and people.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"

If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.

Tory Can't Let Meg Go!

Tory Lanez can't keep quiet about the situation with Megan Thee Stallion.

Tory Lanez should consider his options. Deportation for life or 15 in the iron college. It's his choice and not mine. In a situation where he could lose his opportunity to see his children and live a resident in the United States is at risk. The entertainer has a felony assault charge with a firearm. That's grounds for a deportation if you're not a U.S. citizen. 

The Canadian media personality, singer and rapper was arrested again after he violated the protection orders against Megan Thee Stallion. The two had briefly dated until an incident in 2020. The two had got into a huge argument after leaving Kylie Jenner's home. Apparently Tory fired off a his gun and hit Megan in the foot.

Megan survived her injuries. She broke off the relationship, press charges and filed a restraining order against him. Since then, the two have dissed each other through music and social media. Megan also cut ties with former collaborator DaBaby after he appeared in a music video with Tory and took aim at the LGBTQ community.

Megan doesn't give two fucks about people's opinions of her. She knows what's right and what's wrong.

Tory Lanez was wrong.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney accuse Daystar Peterson (Tory Lanez) of violation of his protective order. He engaged in conversation with Megan Pete (Megan The Stallion). He violated two types of order. One is a "discovery protective order," and the other was is a temporary criminal restraining order.

Lanez violated the orders by addressing his ex-girlfriend directly on social media and by discussing DNA evidence, prosecutors told the judge.

He was arrested and got a $350,000 get out free card.

I refuse to be a victim.

His attorney, Shawn Holley, said the district attorney's office asked for his bail to be revoked entirely or increased to $5 million.

"We are pleased that the court rejected those outrageous requests," Holley said.

Lanez is expected to be in court in September on one count of assault with a firearm and a carrying an unregistered firearm in a vehicle. 

He pleads not guilty ot the charges.

Lanez violated her protective order when he performed at the same event she performed.

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

Goonew's "Performance" Was Turnt Up!

One last concert for slain rapper Goonew.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to place a corpse on the stage of a bar needs to get their head examined. I mean it's a decision that will make people cringe.

Rapper Goonew was gunned down in Maryland a few weeks ago. He was a victim of gun violence.

Goonew, born Markelle Morrow, was shot dead on March 18 by an unknown assailant in District Heights, Maryland, NBC Washington reported. He was 24.

So instead of having a funeral for the slain entertainer, they decided host him a nightclub in Washington, DC. They wanted to give him his final performance. So this is considered a funeral and a show. 

The embalmed corpse was dressed head to toe and leaning on a black tarp. The music was playing and the bar was packed.

Totally tasteless.

But the family dismissed the critics. They said that they wanted to honor Goonew as the "King he was."

They said a funeral home released his body to the family and they decided to give him one more event that was "turnt up."

On top of that, his family also slammed critics by saying "let us do it our way." We don't give a fuck about your opinion. Find the killers of Goonew. I am paraphrasing this.

Some real disturbing stuff going on in the minds of whomever planned this!

Another young talent lost to senseless gun violence. Goonew known also as Big Wizzle became the latest victim of gun violence.

The family wanted an open casket. They got it.

The rapper survived a near fatal shooting last year. 

He is a rapper representing the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia).

The rapper's friends and fans are posting their emotional tributes to the rapper. He was famous for two mixtapes he released. His albums Goonwick and Big 64, as well as Hey Auntie were the motivations for Goonew's once promising career.

Betty Reid Soskin: Thank You!

Thank you Ms. Betty.

Betty Reid Soskin, 100 is retiring from the National Park Service. Soskin who is considered the country's oldest park ranger has formally retired from the service after 15 years of duty to Rosie the Riveter/World World II Home Front National Historic Park in Richmond, California.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will honor her in the coming weeks.

"To be a part of helping to mark the place where that dramatic trajectory of my own life, combined with others of my generation, will influence the future by the footprints we've left behind has been incredible," Soskin said in the NPS's statement.

As a park ranger, Soskin led public programs with visitors and shared her own personal experiences of World War II. And she worked to highlight the untold stories of African Americans and other people of color during the war.

"Being a primary source in the sharing of  that history -- my history -- and giving shape to a new national park has been exciting and fulfilling," Soskin said Soskin. "It has proven to bring meaning to my final years."

The NPS lauded Soskin's accomplishments on Instagram, writing, "We are grateful for Betty's lifelong dedication to sharing her story and wish her all the best in retirement!"


Soskin had a long path to the NPS.

She grew up in a Cajun-Creole, African-American family in Oakland, California, and worked as a file clerk at a segregated union during World War II, according to the NPS. She later founded one of the first Black-owned music stores, Reid's Records, with her husband before stints working as an office worker and political staffer.

Finally, Soskin found her calling in the parks service and sharing her stories in her 80s. She even caught the eye of the White House and was selected to introduce President Barack Obama at the White House tree-lighting ceremony in 2015.

The Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park will celebrate Soskin's retirement on April 16.

"She has used stories of her life on the Home Front, drawing meaning from those experiences in ways that make that history truly impactful for those of us living today," Naomi Torres, acting superintendent of Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park, said in the NPS statement.

Benzino: No Neck And No Point Of Return! 🤦‍♂️

Back on his trolling shit.

I will cover Coi LeRay's debut album release. The album, Introducing The Trendsetters is scheduled for release on April 8th. Congratulations to her on her successes. 

Her dad! No.

Great Scott, Raymond Scott is back on Twitter after three weeks of scandal. He was caught on police body camera being a Karen. He and his "special friend" were booted out of the Red Roof Inn in Brookhaven, Georgia.

  4. He is the reason why The Source Magazine nearly went bankrupt.
  5. He is the father of rapper/socialite Coi LeRay.

  7. He is bipolar.
  8. He is a one-hit wonder. His biggest single "Rock The Party" was hot in 2002.

  11. He is the one who threatened to kill Eminem's daughter in a rap verse.
  12. He is a known hot head.
  13. He is extremely sexist, homophobic and racist.
  14. He is not known much outside of mainstream.
  15. He is allegedly on cocaine and steroids.
  16. He is the father of five children.
  17. He was born on July 18 either in 1963 or 1965.
  18. He has appeared on Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta and Marriage Boot Camp.
  19. He was a member of The Almighty RSO which is known as Made Men.
  20. He was caught at the end of his Bootee Remix music video taking a nasty fall.
  21. He says "You know what I'm sayin'" a lot.
  22. He has got into feuds with YouTube personalities NoLifeShaq and TheEvolve.

  31. He is a subject of Real World Police videos. His antics expose the turmoils of fame.
  32. He is an internet troll.

  38. He has been a failure most of his adult life.
  39. He has no neck.
  40. He has no fame. 
Scott said that no one in the hood plays Eminem's music. He said Em's music is trailer trash and his fans voted for Washed Up 45. He said thinks Em rhymes "masturbater in the elevator" whenever he's on the mic.

Tell me: 

Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Benzino song? 

Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?

The washed up entertainer formerly known as Benzino is the father of rising rapper Coi LeRay. He is the former entertainer who went into a rap war with Eminem and got his ass handed to him.

Scott wanted to give feedback on the "slap heard around the world."

He felt that it was necessary for him to be back on social media after he said that he and Cavario were in the shower. Scott was criminally trespassed from the motel after he failed to pay for another night.

Like the hothead he is, he went off on the manager and the manager called the law to have him removed from property.

Carvario was calling him Raymond like he was his boyfriend. The law ordered Carvario to drive the car since Scott had been told never to operate a vehicle ever again.

Scott often wants to give his input on many issues facing the world. One in particular was the Will Smith and Chris Rock controversy. But one that certainly got him back on the beef is the apparent rap diss aimed at Em by former Unit rapper The Game.

Every time her dad gets on social media, Coi LeRay has to do damage control. He is literally trying to sabotage her rap career.

Jayceon Taylor known as The Game is now wanting to feud with Eminem, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre over him not being invited to the Superbowl. He also decided to side with Kanye West in his feuds with Kim Kardashian, D.L. Hughley, Trevor Noah and Pete Davidson. He said that Ye did more for his career than Dr. Dre.

Scott was hopping on his bed, screaming from the rooftops and saying "I told you so!" like he mattered.

Game is broke. He owes his entire catalog to a woman after he failed to appear at a court hearing involving a sexual assault that happened when he was taping a reality television show.

I normally don't like going after Game. But he is fucking bipolar. He and Young Buck are the misfit of the Unit. Game is doing ridiculous clout beefs. Buck is denying he is into transwomen. 

50 doesn't care what you do in your life. But since you make an ass of yourself in the public, it's only necessary for him to troll your dumbasses. 

Game, Buck and Scott are dumbasses. Let me add Boosie Badazz, Pastor Troy, Glasses Malone and every other "closeted" homophobic rapper to this list of dumbasses.

Scott's return to social media will only invite him more trolling and claims of his secret lifestyle.

What's sad is that Coi LeRay seems to be identified as a part of the LGBTQ community.

Again, I am strong supporter of the LGBTQ community and have family, friends and co-workers who are a part of it. The deserve a right to be who they are. It's damn shame that folks won't see that they matter too. I mean it's only fair to say that what two people do in their love lives is their business not mine. But if you're so concerned about it, maybe you're the only one who has interest in it. 

So for every homophobic person that complains about gay men holding hands, transgender girls or transgender women playing sports or transgender men joining the military, I want you to understand that you can hate all you want, but they're getting in. You put hurdles up, they're getting knocked down.

So in closing: BENZINO: NO NECK AND NO POINT OF RETURN!

Cawthorn Speeding In The Snow!

Destructive path for Cawthorn.

The embattled white nationalist lawmaker is the youngest member of the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Under the Affordable Care Act, if he was in college or unemployed, he would have been on his parent's healthcare until he was 25 years old. I mean he's gonna need it for the fact, he was permanently injured in a car accident by his drunk driving friend. He is disabled from the waist down. He is hoping that he could walk normally again.

Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC) had publicly stated that he seen members of the House engage in orgies and doing cocaine. He said that the members are deviants. He basically said the quiet shit out loud and it forced Republicans to quickly retort the allegations. They threatened to pull funding from his reelection bid like they did Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY).

The lawmaker said that some of the members are known to be active users of cocaine. I am certain that they had members. I remember former lawmaker Trey Radel of Florida. The former Republican lawmaker is a hip-hop Republican. He was a television anchor as well as former hip-hop station program manager and radio host before lawmaker. He was forced out after he was convicted of cocaine possession.

He left Congress and turned his life around.

Cawthorn has not changed his life. I mean he's been reckless in marriage. He married Cristina Bayardelle in 2020 and they separated in 2021. They are seeking divorce.

He allegedly sexually harassed and assaulted women.

The lawmaker claims to be a constitutional conservative, die hard supporter of Washed Up 45 and a Christian. But the things he does ain't one of them.

He was caught on camera yet again doing stupid shit.

He was pulled over by the North Carolina State Patrol after doing nearly 100 on a freeway. The lawmaker was cited for driving 89 in a 65 mph zone. The lawmaker was driving a Dodge Charger.

He has a suspended license from his previous encounters so this latest pullover would have placed him in the county lockup. The trooper gave him a break. Thanks to his privilege as a lawmaker (and white man) as well as him not being under the influence of alcohol as far he knew, he got to drive home without a care in the world.

Cawthorn's vehicle was owned in his dad's name. That means his dad will get the insurance rate hike, plus he could have his license suspended if Cawthorn fails to show up to court. 

Motherfucker makes nearly $200,000 a year in salary due to the fact he is a U.S. Representative.

He had two previous encounters in less than one year. That is significant. If you got multiple violations within a year, they suspend your license. That's North Carolina's traffic laws.

His last dash camera encounter was driving 87 in a 70 mph zone. So he was on rural highway and got pulled over by a trooper. The trooper was quickly informed that the lawmaker had a firearm on him.

The other trooper didn't tell him. The lawmaker was cited for the previous encounter. 

He did not get arrested for that encounter. 

So in the past two years, he has five traffic citations. That's enough to have him arrested if he was driving under suspension. 

Like most criminal acts, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He will likely pay a fine and get points on his record. He will experience an insurance rate increase plus a dozen or so minor obstructions to getting his license back.

Sen. Karen Tillis (R-NC) became the first Republican to endorse a primary challenger against Cawthorn.

That cocaine and orgies allegations must stuck to the GOP like Washed Up 45. Grab 'em by the.....!

Fred Upton Out!

The Michigan shuffle.

One of the lawmakers who voted to impeach Washed Up 45 after the Jan. 6 attack will not seek reelection.

Rep. Karen Upton (R-MI) became the latest Republican to call it quits. He could either be facing a serious contender from the far right or he just is getting tired of QAnon leader Karen McCarthy giving too much credence to the Freedumb Caucus members.

Regardless, Washed Up 45 is pleased that another Republican who went against him is gone. He made his statements to retire on the House floor Tuesday.

He is now the 16th Republican to retire or seek another office ahead of the 2022 midterms, compared with 31 Democrats.

Michigan lost a congressional seat after the 2020 census, and under new redistricting maps, Upton would have faced Rep. Karen Huizenga (R-MI) in a member vs. member primary, had he run for re-election.

"Hopefully civility and bipartisanship versus discord can rule, not rue, the day," Upton added.

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) praised Upton on the House floor shortly after his announcement. 

"His retiring is a loss for this country and especially the people of Michigan," Dingell said.

Upton is considered conservative but workable which means he had voted for bipartisan laws.

Upton voted for the Build Back Better bill and supported the Washed Up 45 tax cuts. He refuses to support raising taxes on billionaires and he is one of the many members who refuse to support the continuation of coronavirus funding.

Obama Back In The House!

President Joe Biden welcomes former president Barack Obama back to the White House.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, one Joe Biden said this was a "big fucking deal." 

It's truth. That was a major overhaul for the nation's healthcare system.

Former president Barack Obama will come back to the White House to have a lunch with President Joe Biden and talk about the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

The president, Vice President Kamala Harris and Obama will be speaking at the White House on Tuesday to address the need to keep the healthcare law in place.

The president will make changes to the law and also acknowledge Obama's impact on him.

Biden was the vice president from 2009 until 2017.

Obama will acknowledge that the ACA was a difficult path to cross. It took a lot of hard work and the constant obstruction from Republicans. They continued to this day to oppose the law and threatened constantly to repeal the law.

The law is more popular now than it was when it was first passed.

Obama seriously had faced the same crap Biden is currently facing. The Republicans refuse to work with him on many of his key issues. 

Only three Republicans will support Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court. They are actively opposing the president's policies to inflation reduction. They are literally pushing conspiracy theories and culture war controversies to win back Congress.

It's a fucking shame that Obama left. Had we been able to listen to facts, Hillary Clinton could have been president.

Washed Up 45 led the country down a horrible path.

I am so fucking glad that President Biden won. I know he has a lot of shit to fix.... a lot of impatient folks and of course a lot of obstacles in the way. But I have faith that the president and Vice President Harris can get the job done.

Blame Game: Dandrae Martin!



Picture of the alleged shooter in Sacramento's deadly mass shooting.

BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC VIOLENCE! TAKE DISCRETION!

The Sacramento Police and California authorities have nabbed one of the terrorists who opened fire on bar goers. Six innocent lives were lost in this weekend tragedy.

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

The law said there are apparently multiple shooters involved in the one of the worst mass shootings in Sacramento's history. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and the U.S. Representatives from California have reacted to the mass shooting. The mayor of Sacramento has also called for Congress to pass gun control laws.

It won't happen because the Republicans in the House, the Republicans in the Senate, Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and possibly Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) will block any legislation that involves firearm regulations.

The terrorist was taken into custody in connection with the shooting and faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon and illegal firearms possession, Sacramento police said. More than 100 rounds were fired early Sunday in downtown Sacramento amid a chaotic altercation outside the city's entertainment district, which was packed with people leaving bars. 

Police called the shooter a "related suspect" and said detectives and SWAT team members found one handgun during searches of three homes in the area.

The arrest came after the six victims killed in the attack were identified. The Sacramento County coroner identified the three women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men killed were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and Devazia Turner, 29.

Some of the chaos before and after the shooting was captured on video, which showed an altercation around 2 a.m. Sunday. As gunshots rang out, people leaving crowded bars scattered. 


Four of the victims were confirmed.

Authorities did not offer a possible motive in one of the largest mass shooting in the city's history, according to The Sacramento Bee. A month ago, a man killed his three children, another person and himself at a Sacramento church.

"The scale of violence that just happened in our city is unprecedented in my 27 years here at the Sacramento Police Department," Police Chief Kathy Lester said at a news conference Sunday.

It was a senseless act of gun violence that happened within a few blocks of the state capitol building.

A nightlife shattered by men and their relentless bid to prove their fickle manhood.

Will Congress do something about the gun violence problem in the United States?
Yes
No

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. 

Gun violence is a problem in the United States.

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. 

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!

Estelle Harris Passed Away!

Estelle Harris, the lovable actress on Seinfeld passed away.

Actress Estelle Harris has passed away on Sunday at the age of 93. She was best known for her as George Costanza's (Jason Alexander) mom on Seinfeld. Harris also voiced Mrs. Potato Head in the Toy Story franchise.

She was 93.

As middle-class matron Estelle Costanza, Harris put a memorable stamp on her recurring role in the smash 1990s sitcom. With her high-pitched voice and humorously overbearing attitude, she was an archetype of maternal indignation.

Trading insults and absurdities with her on-screen husband, played by Jerry Stiller, Harris helped create a parental pair that would leave even a psychiatrist helpless to do anything but hope they’d move to Florida — as their son, played by Jason Alexander, fruitlessly encouraged them to do.

Harris’ agent Michael Eisenstadt confirmed the actor’s death in Palm Desert, California, on Saturday evening.

Viewers of all backgrounds would tell her she was just like their own mothers, Harris often said.

“She is the mother that everybody loves, even though she’s a pain in the neck,” she told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 1998.

The career-defining role came after decades on stage and screen. Born April 22, 1928, in New York City, Harris grew up in the city and later in the Pittsburgh suburb of Tarentum, Pennsylvania, where her father owned a candy store. She started tapping her comedic talents in high school productions where she realized she “could make the audience get hysterical,” as she told People magazine in 1995. 

After the nine-season run of “Seinfeld” ended in 1998, Harris continued to appear on stage and screen. She voiced Mrs. Potato Head in the 1999 animated blockbuster “Toy Story 2” and played the recurring character Muriel in the popular Disney Channel sitcom “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” among other roles.

She had stopped pursuing show business when she married in the early 1950s but resumed acting in amateur groups, dinner theater and commercials as her three children grew (“I had to get out of diapers and bottles and blah-blah baby talk,” she told People). Eventually, she began appearing in guest roles on TV shows including the legal comedy “Night Court,” and in films including director Sergio Leone’s 1984 gangland epic “Once Upon a Time in America.”

Her “Seinfeld” debut came in one of the show’s most celebrated episodes: the Emmy Award-winning 1992 “The Contest,” in which the four central characters challenge each other to refrain from doing what is artfully described only as “that.”

Harris would go on to appear in dozens more episodes of the “show about nothing.” She seethed over snubbed paella, screeched about George’s hanky-panky in the parental bed and laid out the spread for screen husband Frank’s idiosyncratic holiday, Festivus.

“Estelle is a born performer,” Stiller told The Record of Bergen County, N.J., in 1998. “I just go with what I got, and she goes back at me the same way.”

Still, Harris saw a sympathetic undertone to her character, often saying Estelle fumed out frustration at her bumbling mate and scheming slacker of a son.

Viewers, she told an interviewer in 1998, “just look at her as being funny, cute and a loudmouth. But it’s not how I play her. I play her with misery underneath.”

She is survived by her three children, three grandsons, and a great grandson.

Washed Up 45 Lost Over 7 Hours!

Missing phone logs.

The Jan. 6 Committee is furious. They are calling the actions conducted by the former president criminal. The call logs between the president and staffers are missing. During the attack on the U.S. Capitol, there was a huge gap in the former president's records.

Under the Presidential Records Act, a president must maintain a record of his/her tasks during the term. The National Archives and Records Administration will keep all the president's records. Anything missing or not reported is a violation of the law.

About 7 hours of call logs are missing and the Congress is demanding answers.

Washed Up 45 was apparently not willing to call off the mob of his supporters. He was forced into it. He did a taped video to tell his supporters to go home. However, he kept pushing the lie that the election was stolen and he loved the passion of the violent mob.

Internal White House records from the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol that were turned over to the House select committee show a gap within a 7 hour and 37nminute gap.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) speculates that the former president used untraceable cellphones. Those so called burner phones are not tracked and it appears that illegal conduct was committed by staffers and the former president.

The lack of an official White House notation of any calls placed to or by Trump for 457 minutes — from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. — on Jan. 6, 2021 means there is no record of the calls made by Washed Up 45 as his supporters descended on the U.S. Capitol, battled overwhelmed police and forcibly entered the building, prompting lawmakers and former vice president Karen R. Pence to flee for safety.

The 11 pages of records — which consist of the president's official daily diary and the White House switchboard call log — were turned over by the National Archives earlier this year to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.

The records show that Washed Up 45 was active on the phone for part of the day, documenting conversations that he had with at least eight people in the morning and 11 people that evening. The gap also stands in stark contrast to the extensive public reporting about phone conversations he had with allies during the attack.

The chairman of the Jan. 6 House select committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, called the reported gap in the log "concerning."

"Obviously, there is not a second in the day that the president of the United States is not on record somewhere," Thompson told CBS News on Tuesday after a White House bill signing event. He said the committee would see "if we can piece it together."

"Having a record of what the president was doing on that day is absolutely vital to the work of the committee," Thompson added.  

Washed Up 45 ad lib his "go home" taped speech.

Thompson also said that the committee does not yet have any evidence that there were calls the president had made or received in that time period, but "if the Capitol of the United States is being overrun, somebody made some calls. And we just have to find them."

The House panel is now investigating whether the former president communicated that day through backchannels, phones of aides or personal disposable phones, known as "burner phones," according to two people with knowledge of the probe, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information. The committee is also scrutinizing whether it received the full log from that day.

The records show that former White House chief strategist Not See Bannon — who said on his Jan. 5 podcast that "all hell is going to break loose tomorrow" — spoke with Trump twice on Jan. 6.

A spokesman for the committee declined to comment.

In a statement Monday night, the former president said, "I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term."

But former national security adviser Karen Bolton said in an interview Tuesday, after the CBS News-Washington Post reporting had been published, that he recalls Washed Up 45 using the term "burner phones" in several discussions and that the former president was aware of its meaning.

Bolton said he and the former president have spoken about how people have used "burner phones" to avoid having their calls scrutinized. 

A Washed Up 45 spokesperson said that the former president had nothing to do with the records and had assumed any and all of his phone calls were recorded and preserved.
