Blame Game: Frank James!

The suspect is caught now the blame game begins.

If it bleeds, it leads.

The mass shooter who opened fire on a New York City subway was caught around 2pm.

The New York Police Department, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police, FBI, ATF and New York State Patrol are putting a "BOLO" for this suspect. The suspect was considered armed and dangerous. He is in custody and will face state and federal charges.

Also criticism towards the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority for faulty security cameras.

Mayor Eric Adams who is fighting coronavirus symptoms is being protected. Apparently this terrorist had placed a bounty on his head. He considered threatening Adams for unknown conspiracy theories.

New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell is also planning on increasing police presence in subways and areas of large gatherings in the five boroughs.

Gov. Kathy Hochul also warned that copycat shooters could happen.

On Tuesday, a Black nationalist attacked a subway during its peak time. He opened fire on riders after he dispatched a smoke grenade on the passengers. He had shot over a dozen people. Some were injured by bullet fire and others were trampled because of them fleeing the scene.

The suspect managed to escape and the MTA is facing scrutiny for not having a clear image of the attack and the suspect.

President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland have said that the federal government will not rest until this terrorist is caught.

So this guy is a Black man who had a grudge against government and society's ills. Guess what the far-right is obsessing with and trying to pin the blame on.

I regret doing this. But I am using the platform of this far-right troll named Andy Ngo as a source. Do not consider his tweets as endorsements or factual.

The terrorist did not care about the politics or the race of the victims. All he saw was an easy target.

So the suspect is no longer a person of interest. 

The suspect had rented a vehicle from U-Haul which is connected to the shooting. 

Investigators stressed they weren't sure whether the suspect was responsible for the shooting, but they quickly determined that through social media, he had grudges against the country.

They believed that he had frustrations with the country's racism and viewed Adams as a threat to democracy. He displayed anti-white, anti-Black, anti-Jewish, anti-establishment and Black nationalist  views. He certainly was anti-Black women. 

Geezer terrorist opened fire in subways of New York City.

The 62-year old man appears to be a survivalist. 

"The nation was born in violence, it's kept alive by violence or the threat thereof and it's going to die a violent death. There's nothing going to stop that," said the suspect.

Sewell had called the social media postings disturbing and concerning. 

The suspect's profiles were pulled but of course some were quick to find these profiles. 

YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have suspended the account of this suspect.

The terrorist sent off smoke grenades in a crowded subway and then fired off more than three dozen rounds into the subway car. Some of the victims are critically injured but will survive. 


The shooter fled in the chaos, leaving behind the gun, extended magazines, a hatchet, detonated and undetonated smoke grenades, a black garbage can, a rolling cart, gasoline and his U-Haul key inside a van. 

The suspect is facing a 50 bid, life or possible death card due to him being charged in a federal case.

The state charges are already a life bid. If the suspect is convicted, he will head to federal time out.

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

The suspect is caught, who deserves the blame for this incident?
The Suspect.
President Joe Biden.
Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Mayor Eric Adams.
NRA.
Black Lives Matter.
Conservatives.

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. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult.


President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back. 

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

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

Tuesday, April 12, 2022

Oh Ali!

Proud Boy member Ali Alexander singing like a canary.

Ali Alexander is singing like a canary. He knows his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection will likely come with a federal sandwich.

The guy who led the "Stop The Steal" rally that led to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. 

Born Ali Abdul-Razaq Akbar, the far-right extremist is an African American coonservative provocateur who instigated the "big lie" that Washed Up 45 was robbed of the 2020 election.

He openly stated that three lawmakers were involved in helping get the permit to host the infamous rally.

Rep. Karen Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Karen Gosar (R-AZ) and Rep. Karen Brooks (R-AL) were called out by this extremist.

In a lengthy statement, Alexander denied any wrongdoing and said he is not a target of the investigation, which he said was more clearly aimed at organizers of a Jan. 6 rally near the White House. That event was run by “Women for America First.”

Alexander pushed the big lie and Washed Up 45 fell for it.

Alexander’s confirmation of a grand jury subpoena is the first public acknowledgment that the Justice Department’s probe of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has expanded to include organizers of the events that preceded the attack, including some figures adjacent to Trump himself. The issuance of a grand jury subpoena suggests prosecutors believe crimes may have been committed in connection with those events.

Alexander has previously testified to the Jan. 6 select committee, where he talked about his contacts with Republican members of Congress. His cooperation with the Justice Department was first reported by the New York Times.

Alexander said in a since-deleted video that he worked with GOP Reps. Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs and Mo Brooks to attempt to use Congress’ Jan. 6 session certifying Joe Biden’s victory as a chance to pressure lawmakers to overturn the electoral results.

“We four schemed up to put maximum pressure on Congress while they were voting,” Alexander said in the video.

Biggs and Brooks have denied any substantive relationship with Alexander. Gosar has declined to address their contacts.

Alexander is also fighting in court to block a subpoena from the select committee for his phone records.

In his lawsuit to block the subpoena, Alexander revealed he had contact on the morning of Jan. 6 with Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. who played a role in securing financing for the ellipse rally.

“Ms. Guilfoyle thanked Mr. Alexander for being a leader on voting rights and creating the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement,” Alexander’s lawyers revealed in the filing. “The two spoke about the ongoing Georgia election and the GOP primaries that would take place in 2022. The Select Committee seemed satisfied with Alexander’s explanation of that short call.”

Guilfoyle is still in talks with the select committee about potential testimony.


In his statement, Alexander sought to separate himself from the substance of the investigation, saying he did not coordinate with the Proud Boys and suggesting his contact with the Oath Keepers was limited to accepting an offer for them to act as ushers at an event that never took place: his own permitted event near the Capitol, which didn’t occur because of the mob attack on the Capitol. The Oath Keepers are the subject of conspiracy charges for their roles in breaching the Capitol that day.

“I did not finance the Ellipse equipment. I did not ever talk with the White House about security groups. Any militia working security at the Ellipse belonged to “Women for America First,” not us,” Alexander said. “I did not coordinate any movements with the Proud Boys or even see them that day. I did take Oath Keepers offer to act as ushers for the Area 8 event but all of that was lost in the chaos. I wasn’t in communication with any of the aforementioned groups while I was near the Capitol working to get people away from the building. Lastly, I’m not willing to presume anyone’s guilt.”

Despite his disavowal of other extremist groups that participated in the Jan. 6 attack, CNN previously unearthed video of Alexander saying he intended to reach out to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers about doing security for his event.

Gilbert Gottfried Passed Away!

Iconic comedian Gilbert Gottfried passed away.

Only a few months after he mourned the passing of his longtime friend Bob Saget.

American comedian and actor Gilbert Gottfried passed away at the age of 67 after suffering from a longstanding illness. He is known for being the comedian who roasts celebrities at many of Comedy Central roasts. He had role as Principal Peabody in Problem Child movie franchise. Gilbert was an actor, stand up comedian, podcast host, radio host and father.

Gottfried died from recurrent ventricular tachycardia, complicated by type II myotonic dystrophy.

He voiced iconic roles as Iago the parrot in Aladdin or Digit LeBold, the cyber bird in Cyberchase.

He was part of the early days of cable network USA. 

Gilbert Gottfried is an iconic comedian.

Gottfried would be hosting a late night movie show called Up All Night, which shows cult classics and B-movies.

Gottfried's persona as a comedian featured an exaggerated shrill voice and emphasis on crude humor.

Gottfried was a part of the 1980s and 1990s in comedy and animation. He had voiced characters ranging from The Fairly Oddparents, Family Guy, Superman The Animated Series, Justice League Action and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Gottfried is survived by his wife, Dara; a daughter, Lily, 14; a son, Max, 12; a sister, Karen; and a nephew, Graham.

New York Lt. Guv Resigns: Brian Benjamin In Feds Crosshairs!

Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin resigns amidst a scandal.

Republicans love to embrace gotcha politics. I am reminded that Jan. 6 was one of the worst political attacks in American history.

It appears that the race for New York governor was rattled by the lieutenant gover being arrested. He also resigned as of today. He also acknowledged the mass shooting in New York City.

I put New York governor race in TILT DEMOCRAT.

I lowered it from lean Democrat because of Kathy Hochul being unknown and many New Yorkers still liked Andrew Cuomo despite the allegations.

Hochul also dealing with a mass shooting in New York City. A terrorist opened fire on a subway in Brooklyn bounded for Manhattan. The incident is currently fluid.

Brian Benjamin, the lieutenant governor of New York state is under arrest by the feds for allegations of bribery and campaign finance fraud.

Unsealed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damien Williams said that Benjamin has been indicted on charges including bribery and related offenses in connection with his alleged participation in a scheme to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for securing a state grant, according to an indictment.

Benjamin was indicted on multiple counts, including bribery and honest services wire fraud conspiracy, bribery, honest services wire fraud and two counts of falsification of records, for an alleged conspiracy that took place while he was a state senator.

A source familiar with the matter says Benjamin turned himself into authorities Tuesday morning.

CNN has reached out to a spokesperson for Benjamin and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's office for comment. 

Kathy Hochul has enough headaches to deal with.

A Benjamin campaign spokesperson previously told CNN, "Neither Lieutenant Governor Benjamin nor his campaign are being accused of any wrongdoing and they are prepared to fully cooperate with authorities. As soon as the campaign discovered that these contributions were improperly sourced, they donated them to the Campaign Finance Board, pursuant to guidance obtained from the CFB."

Benjamin was appointed to his position by Hochul after she took over the state's top job from former Gov. Andrew Cuomo following his resignation last summer. Hochul, who just completed contentious budget negotiations in Albany, will now come under scrutiny over the vetting process that preceded her decision to elevate Benjamin, who finished fourth in the 2021 Democratic primary for New York City comptroller -- a campaign in which prosecutors now say he sought and received illegal contributions. Benjamin is also accused of lying on a background check that followed Hochul's decision to make him her top deputy.

Williams would not comment on what, if any, contact investigators have had with Hochul's office.

"This indictment is about one person: Brian Benjamin," Williams said.

It is unclear whether Benjamin will resign from his post. Like Hochul, he is the party's endorsed candidate in the 2022 primary, and cannot be removed from the ballot.

A senior New York State Democratic Party official told CNN on Tuesday that "it would be best if (the party) found another candidate, if it's at all possible for (Benjamin) to be removed from the line" and that party leadership is planning to "explore all the options on that."

"It's a complicated process. There's not that many ways to do it, but there are some ways to do it. So we're looking at that," the official said. "And if we can, then obviously there's a committee on vacancies and we would take the recommendation of the governor for who we should replace him with, if that's at all possible."

The official also defended Hochul against criticism of her vetting process, referencing prosecutors' allegation that Benjamin had lied on his official background check.

"The US attorney made clear in his indictment today that one of the things was an issue was Brian Benjamin's lack of honesty in the vetting process," the official said. "I don't know how you fault the governor or her vetting team, frankly, for getting misinformation. She does not have access to investigations ongoing in the US attorney's office."

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

Trails Of Blood: Mass Shooting In Brooklyn!

New York City mass shooting on Brooklyn subway.

Mass shootings in New York City often classified as terror attacks if they happen on subways, Time Square, Penn Station, World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Rockefeller Center.

BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC VIDEO AND IMAGES!

A shooting in a Brooklyn, New York subway. There appears to be an act of terrorism. There was a mass shooting at the 36th Subway station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New York. The suspect apparently wore a gas mask and used smoke devices in his attack. He also wore a construction vest and left improvised devices in the vicinity.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Kathy Hochul, mayor Eric Adams, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and the U.S. Representatives for New York are notified of this attack.

It appears that more than a dozen people were shot and so far we have no confirmation of deaths. But it is expected.

A manhunt is underway for the suspect as details are coming in.

A least four of the victims were found at the 36th Street subway station in Sunset Park and another at the 25th Street station in Greenwood Heights just before 8:30am. Some victims were treated at the scene and some were taken to local hospitals.

Mass shooting on subway may be a terrorist attack.

The mass shooting happened on the southbound R train, beginning at the 25th Street station. As the doors close, the suspect threw smoke bombs and then open fire on the passengers riding.

The victims and the suspect would get of the subway around the 36th Street station.

Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland had just talked about gun violence on Monday. He had said that Congress refusing to pass common sense gun laws has led to crime being on the rise.

Incidents like gunfire on subways are often classified with terrorism.

Adams, the current mayor is fighting symptoms of COVID-19. He wasn't at the presser today. He is facing heat for not doing enough to curb gun violence in the city.. Adams has been fighting aggressively to curb attacks in New York City. He has imposed more New York Police Department officers on subways. He imposed the undercover detectives back in sessions.

The gunman — possibly disguised as an MTA construction worker and wearing a gas mask — launched his bloody assault around 8:30 a.m. on a Manhattan-bound N train at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, where authorities later discovered several undetonated devices, FDNY and police said. 

The suspect is believed to have set off the smoke grenade moments before firing off a barrage of bullets, police sources told the New York Post.

The incident is fluid and there is no arrest at this time. The NYPD, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, New York State Police, FBI and ATF are searching for the suspect and those who aided the possible terrorist.

Graphic images of blood and chaos.

Of course, if the suspect is a Black, Muslim, white supremacist or immigrant, the junk food media will use this as a political theater.

Which scenario is considered an enabler to gun violence?
Democrats in the House are passing legislation but its always being stalled by the Senate.
Republican governors are easing conceal gun laws to make it easier for Americans to carry firearms.
President Joe Biden is trying to place restrictions on purchases of ghost guns.
Some prosecutors are not pursuing harsher punishment for shooters who commit acts of violence.
Stand Your Ground Laws are too broad. It can give anyone justifiable right to shoot anyone who is a threat.

\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.

Brit Bump!

Britney Spears has another baby on the way.

Britney Spears announced her pregnancy. The 40 year old entertainer has a controversial history from her mental illness to the fight to win back her conservatorship. A resident of Las Vegas, the entertainer is expecting her third child with Sam Asghari.

On Monday, Spears posted on her verified Instagram account that she had lost weight to go on her recent Maui vacation, only to gain it back.

She wrote that Asghari told her she was "food pregnant."

"So I got a pregnancy test ... and uhhhhh well ... I am having a baby," Spears wrote.

CNN has reached out to a representative for Spears for comment.


Spears and Asghari, who got engaged in September 2021, have been open about their desire to have a child together.

During court testimonies last year as Spears sought to end the conservatorship that had controlled her life for more than a decade, she testified that she wanted to have a baby but that her court-ordered conservators prohibited her from getting off of birth control.

In December, she teased followers with news of a "new addition to the family" before introducing the world to her Australian Shepherd puppy named Sawyer.

The singer posted on Monday that she "won't be going out as much" to prevent paparazzi from getting photos of her pregnant, which they sell to make money.

She is the mother of two teen sons, Sean and Jayden, with ex husband Kevin Federline.

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

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans and the two Democrats who refuse to change the filibuster. The National Rifle Association is pushing against it.

The president signed an executive order on Monday.

The Biden Administration faces growing pressure to crack down on gun deaths and violent crime in the United States.

Ghost guns are privately made firearms that are not marked with a serial number and are difficult for law enforcement to trace when used to commit a crime.

The Department of Justice's final rule has been making its way through the federal regulation process for nearly a year and is likely to draw opposition and litigation from gun advocates in the coming weeks.

"These guns are weapons of choice for many criminals," Biden said during an event in the White House Rose Garden. "We're going to do everything we can to deprive them of that choice."

The rule would make it illegal for businesses to manufacture such kits without a serial number and for a licensed gun dealer to sell them without a background check, Biden said.

The rule is part of a series of measures announced by Biden and the Justice Department in April last year to tackle growing gun violence in the United States and curb mass shootings.

In 2021, there were about 20,000 suspected ghost guns reported to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) as having been recovered by law enforcement in criminal investigations – a tenfold increase from 2016, according to statistics shared by the White House.

The Justice Department rule bans unserialized "buy build shoot" kits that individuals can buy online or at a store without a background check and can readily assemble into a working firearm in as little as 30 minutes with equipment they have at home. It also turns some ghost guns already in circulation into serialized firearms.

Gun deaths increased in 2021 over 2020, according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive.

In 2021 there were 20,726 gun deaths in the United States, not counting suicides by gun, the group reported. This included 693 mass shootings, defined by four or more people being shot, and claimed 702 lives and injured more than 2,800 people, the group reported.

Biden also nominated Steve Dettelbach, a former U.S. attorney from Ohio, to run ATF.
