Was Boebert A Sugar Baby?

Nobody's perfect. Even this white nationalist was a waitress and former escort.

Anyone can run for Congress. I gotta to give everyone the benefit of doubt. I mean there's no law saying you come from the bottoms of hell to become a lawmaker. As long as you can deliver for the constituents, you are doing the job you were elected to.

Controversial lawmaker Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO) has allegations of being an escort for wealthy GOP men. She was then a registered member of sugardaddymeet.com and had met Sen. Karen Cruz (R-TX) who encouraged her to run for higher office.

Boebert who is known for pushing white nationalist bullshit as well as not doing her job as a lawmaker. She is often making a scene for donors and click bait. She is similar to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the distraction department. Same with Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). They have similar allegations of doing bullshit for clickbait but hell they're lawmakers too.

Also, Boebert had terms when she accidentally gotten pregnant. She is married with four sons.

The lawmaker also was accused of driving recklessly on an ATV and seriously injured a woman and a child.

These allegations are coming from the group who worked hard to get Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC) eliminated from the general election. Cawthorn was defeated in a Republican primary but a Republican who was not endorsed by Washed Up 45.

The 35-year old lawmaker has not responded to the allegations. 

I am actually going to give her an ounce of credit. 

She has introduced her first bill. She wants to classify fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

A synthetic drug that kills hundreds of Americans is deadly but not a bioweapon being used on a mass population.

Makeover session for Boebert.

Boebert introduced a bill that would bring a new classification to fentanyl, involving the Department of Homeland Security.

Boebert introduced a bill that would bring a new classification to fentanyl, involving the Department of Homeland Security.

The “Fentanyl is a WMD Act” would instruct the Assistant Secretary for the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office within DHS to treat the deadly drug as a weapon of mass destruction. Title XIX of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 created the office and created its mission to coordinate federal efforts to “detect and protect against unauthorized importation, possession, storage, transportation, development or use of weapons of mass destruction in the United States."

A weapon of mass destruction is defined by DHS as “a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, or other device that is intended to harm a large number of people.”

Loading...

“Back home in Colorado, almost everyone I talk to knows someone who has died from fentanyl,” Boebert said in a statement. “Fentanyl is America’s silent killer and is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. The saddest thing about the fentanyl crisis is that it is preventable. National security experts know that the vast majority of deadly fentanyl plaguing our communities comes across the southern border. Just last year, Border Patrol encountered enough fentanyl at the border to kill every American seven times over. There is no way around it—the Biden Border Crisis is killing Americans. It is time to call fentanyl what it is: a weapon of mass destruction that is destroying our nation.”

I would hope that she would just be serious about the issue without throwing President Joe Biden into the matter. It would have gotten his approval if she wasn't a stupid lawmaker.

Benzino: No Neck And No Rounds! πŸ₯Š

Boxing genius.

For once, Raymond Scott can finally have a career in something. I mean rapping and restaurant ownership is out of the question. I guess he can be a boxer. I mean finally, the nearly 60 year old washed up entertainer can be a winner.

I am going to revisit my "Benzino vs. Eminem." For over 20 years, Scott has been salty that Em destroyed his rap career. He can't get over the fact that he lost a rap battle to a white guy. On top of that, Em will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Scott will be forced to pay for the damages to this man's vehicle.

Fun facts about Raymond "Benzino" Scott. This is a copy and paste I've put together. So for anyone who never heard of this dude, here's some fun facts about him.

  32. He continues to drive a vehicle without a valid license. It's a reason to his multiple arrests.
  33. He was on camera using racial slurs against an Asian-American Brookhaven, Georgia cop.
  34. He is a subject of Real World Police videos. His antics expose the turmoils of fame. Those videos with him have more views than his own music videos.
  35. He has done things to make people believe he could be a pedophile.
  36. He is an internet troll. He often responds to Eminem fans or critics with sexist, racist, homophobic and parental digs. He had his official Instagram account banned for that.
  37. He is sabotaging Coi LeRay's rap career on purpose because of jealousy. Nicki Minaj nearly cancelled her verse on Coi LeRay's album thanks to him running his mouth.
  38. He was threatening Coi LeRay for sharing her experiences being Scott's daughter.
  39. He was allegedly grooming his half-sister.
  40. He was allegedly sleeping with his niece.

  44. He has a sex tape on XVideo of him eating a woman's ass.
  45. He is caught on social media talking to a transgender model/activist. He begged for forgiveness towards Shauna Brooks because he had a relationship with her.
  46. He has already sabotaged his son Yung Chavo's career by dragging on the Eminem feud.
  47. He was relentless trolled on social for his D'Angelo-themed "The Bigger Picture" video.
  48. He has many videos on YouTube and none of them cracked over 500,000 views.
  49. He has a struggling restaurant called Benzino's Crab Trap. He closed two previous locations in Atlanta. He has one struggling location in suburban Chicago.
  50. He used to own a nightclub, a sports bar, a clothing line and a music label. All of those projects have failed or he's lost them to health violations.
  51. He does a celebrity boxing match to make a little change cause his rap career is pretty much over.
  52. He has no boxing skills or certification.
  53. He has been a failure most of his adult life.
  54. He has no neck.
  55. 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?

Formerly known as Benzino, the washed up entertainer couldn't fight Aaron Carter because the entertainer had a concert date and backed out. He couldn't fight Eminem, Royce Da 5'9" and 50 Cent. They don't consider him a person worth their interest.

He done already sabotaged Coi LeRay's debut album by talking about the Nicki Minaj collaboration. 

He was crying and blubbering on a police body camera when a man was dating Althea Hart, his former girlfriend and mother of his son, Zino. The dude hit the guy's truck. He failed to show up to court for charges and was arrested by the U.S. Marshals. He also was arrested for that. 

His one-sided feud with Eminem is over 20 years. He will never let this feud go.

So in order to make a buck, he's doing a celebrity boxing match. He fought Razor Rizzoli and knocked him out. Although, he shoved him down, the boxer was no match for a nearly 60 year old douchebag.

So I guess Scott's got them arms and he's willing to throw down.

If he decides to make a career out of boxing, he better train well because the first time could be his last time. For once, I can say that this washed up entertainer does get props for doing one thing.

Heads Off In Macon!

Body found near cruising motel.

A person discovers a body in the woods near a Macon, Georgia hotel and restaurant. The body was pretty much was bones and clothes. What was missing was the head. Now the Macon Police-Bibb County Sheriff's Department are investigating.

Upon entering woods behind America's Best Value Inn and Burger King remains were found. 

The remains were partially buried in dirt. Bibb County authorities found a body in the woods off Romeiser Drive in Macon, according to Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones.

The body was located deep in the woods behind the America's Best Value motel located near Eisenhower Parkway, according to Jones. He said it appeared the body had been in the woods for a long time, but could not confirm the sex or the race of the person. 

The body was found face down with a pair of black tennis shoes near the body, but Jones is unsure if the shoes belong to the person. 

If you have any information about the case, you can call the Bibb County Sheriff's Office at 478-751-7500.

That hotel and two others were on a list of nuisance properties due to drugs, prostitution and illegal activities.

The three motels are the the America’s Best Value Inn and Suites on Romeiser Drive, the America’s Best Inn and Suites on Harrison Road, and the Econo Lodge Inn and Suites on Chambers Road.

A few days ago, a woman was found dead at the Econo Lodge. Bibb County Deputies say there's no evidence of foul play but the motel is no stranger to death, after another woman was found shot to death there nearly a year ago.

The complaint filed against the the Chambers Road motel lists five separate incidents of of illegal activity including an ongoing investigation into possible human trafficking and prostitution.

Twitter Considers Banning The @LibsofTikTok Troll!

The dangers of online extremists.

The Twitter culture warriors.

I believe conservatives and far-right extremists need Twitter. They can't argue with progressives on Gab, Parler, Rumble, Truth Social and chatter boards that support their causes. 

The progressives do not use these platforms. 

They need Twitter to reply to those who say something that pisses them off. They want to argue online and make stupid gifs and blame everyone for the world's problems.

Conservatives love trolling. It's the only way for them to win the Midterms.

They have no solutions to gas prices, inflation, gun violence and extremism. They only have blame, deflect, pivot and go to distractions to red meat white nationalism.

This Twitter platform is just as bad a TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. They are private companies and want to be open to all discussion. But they're allowing hate to fester their platforms. I thought they were trying to crack down on it. But alas, it's like you can get rid of one and five more pop up.

A white extremist who operates the @libsoftiktok handle on this social media platform has been very active in trolling hate, pearl clutching and gaslighting.

The white extremist has been instrumental in making Republicans pass legislation to "protect children" from the drag queens, two men holding hands and the transgender model. The far-right in a handful of states have passed legislation that bans transgender girls from playing women sports. 

The handle is promoting the "groomers" label to those who identify as LGBTQ.

The discussion for Twitter to finally ban the handle is coming. They have been debating over how to handle this profile. The handle is literally giving out information of venues and it appears that the Proud Boys, Karen Presler and many other extremists are latching on it. 

Of course, Fox too.

The very same folks who believe "cancel culture" is against them are trying to stop Americans who just want to be themselves, love their partners, enjoy their lives without hatred of them. 

This month is marks the sixth year of the deadly massacre at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. 

49 people were killed by a terrorist who stormed the club. This happened around the 2016 election and it did not lead to Hillary Clinton becoming the president. It led to a former celebrity to become the 45th president. He left a huge mess for the 46th president and of course the impatient extremists are complaining things aren't back to normal.

It seems like the Department of Homeland Security had warned that online chatter will lead to extremist threats.

The Patriot Front had came to Coeur D'Alene, Idaho to attack a pride event.

A bunch of Proud Boys came to a Bay Area area library to harass a drag queen reading a story to children.

It is done by a white woman who pearl clutches and spreads propaganda.

The extremist, Karen Raichik has had her share of death threats and public shaming. The account she operates has been subject to suspensions and threats of permanent removal.

Which culture war issue has the Republican Party and far right extremists exploited the most?
Gun violence
Inflation
LGBTQ issues
COVID 19
Racism
Cancel Culture
Abortion
Created with Poll Maker

The account was created in November 2020 as a personal account with the handle @shaya69830552, and later @shaya_ray. Before becoming the Libs of TikTok account, Raichik downplayed the severity of COVID-19, promoted the conspiracy theory that the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from Washed Up 45 through election fraud, and made posts showing that Raichik was present at the 2021 United States Capitol attack. Raichik criticized the law enforcement officers at the Capitol, tweeting "They were rubber bullets from law enforcement. 1 hit right next to me." 

Raichik also tweeted that she did not enter the Capitol building like "a few crazy people" had and called the breach "mostly peaceful." Raichik later downplayed the attack, claiming it was peaceful compared to a "BLM protest." The handle was later changed to @cuomomustgo, focusing on demanding the resignation of the then-Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. The account also promoted efforts to recall the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom. By March 2021, the handle had changed to @houseplantpotus, a parody account tweeting as a houseplant in the White House mocking President Joe Biden. @houseplantpotus later became @libsoftiktok on April 19, 2021, promising to "help you find your daily dose of cringe."

Karen Dillon, CEO of conservative Christian satire website The Babylon Bee, announced a partnership with Libs of TikTok.

Moron Musk has liked one of Libs of TikTok's tweets.

Prior to being revealed as the account creator, Raichik was interviewed anonymously on several occasions, during which she boasted that posts from the account led to the firings of several teachers. Raichik encouraged followers to join local school boards in order to remove teachers who teach about gender and sexuality.

Jennifer Hudson On An EGOT Mountain!

Jennifer Hudson won a Tony. She has now a Tony along with her Emmy, Grammy and Oscar.

She came a long way from American Idol. The entertainer never became an American Idol but ended up becoming one of the few who won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and now a Tony.

Jennifer Hudson has achieved the rarified status of EGOT with her Tony win for producing “A Strange Loop.”

The awards gauntlet lingo of “EGOT” refers to individuals who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony over the course of their careers in entertainment. Notable figures who have netted wins across all four awards bodies include Rita Moreno, Alan Menken, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, Mike Nichols, Mel Brooks and Whoopi Goldberg.

Only 16 individuals in history had achieved an EGOT in competitive categories ahead of tonight’s Tony Awards. Now, Hudson is the 17th.


Hudson took the first steps to achieving EGOT with her Oscar win in the category of best supporting actress for her performance in 2006’s “Dreamgirls.” Since then, Hudson has netted two performing Grammys — one for best musical theater album for “The Color Purple” in 2017 and another for best R&B album for her self-titled album in 2009 — as well as a Daytime Emmy for executing producing the VR-animated film “Baba Yaga.”

Coincidentally, this year’s ceremony for the 75th Tony Awards was hosted by a fellow supporting actress Oscar winner in Ariana DeBose, who took home the award this year for her performance in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.”

“A Strange Loop” entered into Sunday evening’s awards ceremony as an awards darling, gathering momentum from rave reviews and a passionate fanbase. Michael R. Jackson’s Pulitzer-winner led the field, netting 11 nominations across all categories, including in L Morgan Lee for best featured actress in a musical, making Lee the first transgender individual to be nominated for a Tony.

The Committee On Jan. 6 Continues!

The deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol is a horrific moment in history.

At 10am, the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol continues.

All networks (except Fox) will cover this.

On Thursday, over 20 million Americans watched the first day of the committee hearing. The hearing displayed the deadly encounter inspired by Washed Up 45's rhetoric. The former president and his allies including that far-right cable network Fox had misled Americans into believing the former president won the election.

On day 2, the committee will get to the roots of the deadly encounter. They will introduce more evidence of how the former president, Fox and Republican lawmakers all took part in scheming a plot to overturn an election.

They will discuss the former president engaging with a handful of extremists in a closed door gathering and it alerted White House staffers.

The committee hearing will discuss how Washed Up 45's criminal attempt to overturn the election.

The tweet that inspired thousands to attend the "Stop The Steal" rally was the beginning of a deadly day and disgraceful moment in American history.

On Jan. 6, 2021, the Congress was conducting the counting and certification of the Electoral College. 

Washed Up 45, Republican lawmakers and far-right extremists whipped up a crowd of his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol. The former president withheld help for nearly three hours. He watched the whole event on television and said that his former vice president who was in fear of his life deserved it for not overturning the election.

The committee will display violent and disturbing language. Take discretion in viewing.

Deal Reached! But Will It Pass With GOP Obstruction?

A deal is reached but will it pass?

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. Karen Cornyn (R-TX) have come to a deal on how to deal with gun violence. It's not a full reform of banning those damn assault weapons but it is a small step. This deal will likely raise the age of purchasing assault weapons at the age of 21. Then of course, they will put funds to mental health (not combating domestic terrorism or political motivated violence). They will call for incentives if the states decide to pass red flag laws.

President Joe Biden praised the idea but is cautiously optimistic that the Senate can pass the bill.

After mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York, the calls have grown. Gun violence has not stopped and the pressure is on for these lawmakers (I meant Republicans) to hear the calls for reform.

“Today, we are announcing a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country," Murphy, Cornyn and other senators involved in the talks said in a joint statement. "Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities."

Unlike the series of gun bills authored by Democrats that passed the House last week, the Senate deal has a better chance of becoming law because it has support from key Republicans, who wield effective veto power over gun legislation in the Senate because of the 60-vote filibuster rule. The joint statement backing the deal was signed by 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans.

A centerpiece of the Senate deal is to provide substantial resources for states to implement "red flag" laws, which allow individuals like police or family members to petition courts to keep firearms away from people deemed a risk to themselves or others.

Currently, 19 states and the District of Columbia have red flag laws on the books. The new provisions are aimed at increasing that number and improving their implementation.

The agreement also establishes a more rigorous process for background checks on people between 18 and 21 years old, with an enhanced review that includes contacting state and local law enforcement for criminal records that could be disqualifying, and to appropriate state organizations for mental health information that could affect the decision.

The proposal also seeks to clarify ambiguities over who must register as a federally licensed firearm dealer for the purposes of conducting background checks.

A deal between two opposing lawmakers.

“Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons,” the senators said. “Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our commonsense proposal into law.”

It slaps new penalties on "straw purchasing" of firearms to improve prosecution of traffickers. And it authorizes new money for mental health services and school safety provisions.

The agreement would also include a provision to address the so-called boyfriend loophole on domestic violence, sources familiar with the negotiations said.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he's "pleased that, for the first time in nearly 30 years, Congress is on the path to take meaningful action to address gun violence."

"After an unrelenting wave of gun-related suicides and homicides, including mass shootings, the Senate is poised to act on commonsense reforms to protect Americans where they live, where they shop, and where they learn," he said in a statement. "We must move swiftly to advance this legislation because if a single life can be saved it is worth the effort.”

NHL Fan Found Himself In The Digital Dash!

Asshole served a hot plate to a NHL fan.

James Anastasio found himself a pariah among New York state. He saw a digital dash when he served a hot plate on a hockey fan after a game. The idiot was a fan of the now eliminated New York Rangers, the NHL Team that plays at Madison Square Garden.

The Tampa Bay Lightning advances to the Stanley Cup finals. They will face off against the Colorado Avalanche for the championship.

Well on Thursday, the agitated Anastasio served a hot plate to a man in an unprovoked attack. He literally put the man in a coma. The victim did survive the attack.

“Last night, an abhorrent assault took place against a Tampa Bay fan at the conclusion of the game — followed by a second assault against an individual who bravely intervened,” MSG said in the statement, per the New York Post. “We are cooperating fully with law enforcement as this is now a criminal matter. The assailant will also be banned from The Garden and all other MSG venues for life.”

He also punched a good Samaritan who tried to stop him from leaving the scene, police and stadium officials said.

Pretty stupid.

Both he and the good Samaritan were treated by Madison Square Garden’s guest services team, stadium spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz told The New York Daily News. The two didn’t require further medical care.

“Last night, an abhorrent assault took place against a Tampa Bay fan at the conclusion of the game — followed by a second assault against an individual who bravely intervened,” Ravitz said.

The suspect faced a judge on Friday.

His father condemned the idiot's actions. He believes his son's actions were because he was intoxicated but stressed that he hopes the victim will survive the trauma.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. In the state of New York, battery or felonious assault could put this idiot in the iron college for up to three years.

The Law Drags The Patriot Front By The Neck!

A bunch of men stuffed in a U-Haul truck were planning on attacking an LGBTQ event.

The Department of Homeland Security said that far-right extremism sparked by Washed Up 45's allies, the economy, culture wars and frustrations with politics have driven Americans to commit acts of terrorism.

The white nationalist group, The Patriot Front was trying to start a riot at a LGBTQ Pride rally in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. These moron white extremists were packed inside a U-Haul truck when a person tipped off the law.

They were attempting to infiltrate a pride event and cause a riot. The suspects are facing state charges and will be under federal watch. Those involved are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

"It is clear to us, based on the gear the individuals had with them ... along with paperwork that we seized from them, that they came to riot downtown," Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said Saturday at a press conference.

According to White, police were alerted about the U-Haul around 1:38 p.m. by a concerned citizen who said they saw members of the group getting into the back of the truck. The group was confronted by police about 10 minutes later, White said.

The men were seen in videos posted to social media all wearing khakis, navy blue shirts, beige hats, and cloth facial coverings. The outfit is similar to what is worn by Patriot Front, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a white supremacist group. White said at least one of the men had an arm patch that said "Patriot Front," and others had hats with logos "consistent" with those used by the group.

Police also found shields inside the U-Haul and at least one smoke grenade, White said.

See something, say something. The tips led to a major arrest of dangerous extremist.

All 31 men are being charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor, and further charges "might be pending," White said. 

"In my opinion, I would gladly arrest 31 individuals who are coming to riot in our city for a misdemeanor, rather than have them participate in some sort of seriously disruptive event, which is exactly what they were planning in the downtown area," White said. 

White also said the group wasn't just planning to cause a disruption at a nearby park, where a pride event was being held, but that police had information that indicated they would attempt to riot in other areas as well. 

He did not go into detail about the paperwork that police recovered from the group, but said it "appeared to be very similar to an operations plan that a police or military group would put together for an event." 

White said the men came from several different states. They apparently all met up in the parking lot of a hotel, where they loaded themselves into the U-Haul.

Sweet Death!

Two contractors fell in a chocolate tank.

Did you know that being trapped in a storage tank can be deadly?

Especially if its grain, soybeans, oil and chocolate. You can literally suffocate inside storage tanks.

Emergency crews had to rescue two contractors from a chocolate storage tank in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.

It happened at a Wrigley Mars processing factory. The two contractors would have suffocated if it wasn't for the workers noticing their screams. The emergency crews had to cut a hole into to storage tank to rescue them.

The two people work for an outside contracting firm, officials said, and it’s not clear how they fell into the tank. Emergency responders were able to free the pair by cutting a hole in the bottom of the tank, officials said.

Two contract workers from Manheim-based I.K. Stoltzfus Service Corporation had been doing maintenance on the tank and were unable to get out on their own.

There was chocolate in the tank, but it's not clear how much.

Emergency medical services said the circumstances were potentially dangerous.

"It could have been a life-threatening situation, just based on what needed to be done to get them out," said Edna Kline, with Northwest EMS.

The workers were rescued and taken to a hospital. There is no word on their conditions.

It wasn’t clear if either person was injured, but they were taken to hospitals to be evaluated. Their names and further details on their conditions were not disclosed.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident. An OSHA official declined comment on the matter, citing the ongoing investigation.

We March For Our Lives And Y'All Still Ain't Listening!

Will marching and demands for change ever make lawmakers change their minds?

In the wake of multiple mass shootings at schools, malls, community centers and various events, young people are calling upon Congress (I mean Republicans) to stop pivoting and distracting. They want gun reform passed this year or face reprecusions.

Activist David Hogg is frustrated with delays from Congress (I mean Republicans in the Senate and two Democratic senators not willing to end the filibuster).

He is now chanting, "This Time It's Different!"

There has been school walkouts, protests at lawmakers and Supreme Court justices' homes. There's been heckling at President Joe Biden. They cried to Vice President Kamala Harris. They followed Obstructionist leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) when he is out and about in Louisville. 

They pestered Sen. Karen Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ), Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Collins (R-ME) while at events. 

They are saying "enough is enough."

Thousands of people streamed to the National Mall for the highest-profile of countrywide demonstrations Saturday marking a renewed push for gun control after recent mass shootings from Uvalde, Texas, to Buffalo, New York, that activists say should compel Congress to act.

Organizers hoped the second March for Our Lives rally would draw as many as 50,000 people to the Washington Monument. While that would be far less than the original 2018 march that filled downtown Washington with more than 200,000 people, they decided to focus this time on smaller marches at an estimated 300 locations.

Despite rain in the nation’s capital, scores turned out on the monument grounds well before the rally began, holding up signs, including one that said “Children aren’t replaceable, senators are. Vote.” A middle school-age girl carried a sign that said, “I want to feel safe at school.”

“We want to make sure that this work is happening across the country,” said Daud Mumin, co-chairman of the march’s board of directors and a recent graduate of Westminster College in Salt Lake City. “This work is not just about D.C., it’s not just about senators.”

The first march was spurred by the Feb. 14, 2018, killings of 14 students and three staff members by a former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. That massacre sparked the creation of the youth-led March For Our Lives movement, which successfully pressured the Republican-dominated Florida state government to enact sweeping gun control reforms.

Gun violence survivor David Hogg is also registering voters at these rallies.

The Parkland students then took aim at gun laws in other states and nationally, launching March for Our Lives and holding the big rally in Washington on March 24, 2018.

The group did not match the Florida results at the national level, but has persisted in advocating for gun restrictions since then, as well as participating in voter registration drives.

Now, with another string of mass shootings bringing gun control back into the national conversation, organizers of this weekend’s events say the time is right to renew their push for a national overhaul.

“Right now we are angry,” said Mariah Cooley, a March For Our Lives board member and a senior at Washington’s Howard University. “This will be a demonstration to show that us as Americans, we’re not stopping anytime soon until Congress does their jobs. And if not, we’ll be voting them out.”

The protest comes at a time of renewed political activity on guns and a crucial moment for possible action in Congress.

Shannon Watts has called upon gun violence victims to register to vote.

Survivors of mass shootings and other incidents of gun violence have lobbied legislators and testified on Capitol Hill this week. Among them was Miah Cerrillo, an 11-year-old girl who survived the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. She described for lawmakers how she covered herself with a dead classmate’s blood to avoid being shot.

On Tuesday, actor Matthew McConaughey appeared in the White House briefing room to press for gun legislation and made highly personal remarks about the violence in his hometown of Uvalde.

The House has passed bills that would raise the age limit to buy semi-automatic weapons and establish federal “red flag” laws. But such initiatives have traditionally stalled or been heavily watered down in the Senate. Democratic and Republican senators had hoped to reach agreement this week on a framework for addressing the issue and talked Friday, but they had not announced an accord.

Mumin said the goal is to send a message to lawmakers that public opinion on gun control is shifting under their feet. ”If they’re not on our side, there are going to be consequences — voting them out of office and making their lives a living hell when they’re in office,” he said.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.

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