The washed up celebrity looks like a miserable old man. As Gretchen Carlson said it best, a predator who thinks he's still relevant. The white nationalist was once the most powerful name in news.
The O'Reilly guy was fired out the cannon in 2017 after revelations from Gabriel Sherman detailed a pattern of sexual harassment and threats of retaliation over at Fox. O'Reilly was forced out after it was revealed that he paid dozens of women millions to stay silent about sexual abuse.
What leaves women speechless is 2 accused predators interviewing each other on TV (& both still working) about another moron Tucker Carlson running for President? Wtf https://t.co/ow7hcUZj4z

His ex-wife and children even admit that he's a violent dude.
Before Tuckems, he was the No. 1 primetime agitator on Fox. He often labeled himself as a "culture warrior" and took on those who he perceived as a threat to "traditionists" values.
From Ludacris to a son of a 9/11 victim, O'Reilly would feud with them and call for boycotts.
I guess his boycott led to his cannon firing.
The far right goes after Chicago. More stupid scapegoating and culture wars.
After the revelations, advertising decreased on his program. He would end up taking a "vacation."
Fox was forced to do it.
Now along with a handful of ex-Fox hosts are now on Newsmax promoting more bullshit.
On No Spin News, the old fart rants about J.B. Pritzker's calls for an assault weapons ban.
The old fart blast the decision and decides to pivot to Chicago. He decided to place the blame on Democrats for "minority gangs" being allowed to kill unabated in Chicago.
"You [J.B Pritzker], are not going stop loons, and you won't stop crime, drug crime, drug gangs, because they're minority gangs! That's why you won't stop them! You phony! You aid and abet this murder in Chicago every blankin' day. You! Don't be sanctimonious with me!"
The misinformation is really bad in the United States. The far right and leftists are easily manipulated by the crap they see on the internet. They don't like researching facts.
When Washed Up 45 got his third Supreme Court pick, we knew it was gonna happen.
A 6-3 conservative majority on the Court was assured that decisions were going to favor the white nationalists.
They blamed Ruth Bader Ginsburg for not retiring earlier. They blame former president Barack Obama for not ramming through his agenda despite Republicans taking the House in 2011 and the Senate in 2015. The leftists depressed the vote in 2010. They allowed the Tea Party and Washed Up 45 make so much noise, it literally gave them a majority.
All we heard was "Where's the birth certificate?," Benghazi, Cash for Clunkers, socialism, Obamacare, repeal, Blue Lives Matter, and succeeding from the country. That's just a minor list of far-right noise.
Republicans blocked Obama's pick for the Supreme Court. That's politics. The Obstructionist leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) said he was happy to deny Obama his pick.
QAnon leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA) said all the investigations into Hillary Clinton were meant to drive her poll numbers down.
Washed Up 45 had called for Russia to interfere in the U.S. elections, twice.
The far left and many of the media agitators who identify as progressive are bashing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for not fighting hard enough.
Oh they are fighting hard, you folks on the far left are not giving him the strength to take on the noise.
The "do something" agitators on CNN, MSNBC and Fox are claiming that Democrats are not being extremists and being more aggressive. Basically white leftists want to be violent and destructive like the white nationalists in the Republican Party.
They want Attorney General Merrick Garland to start prosecuting Washed Up 45 and his allies now.
I remember that Biden had said he wants to try to bring the temperature down. He said that being like the former guy is going to destroy democracy.
So I don't get why white leftists want the Democrats to like white nationalist Republicans?
They allowed it to happen by not voting for Hillary Clinton. They listened to the noise of far-left agitators who were teasing the notion that a former reality television star, business magnate with no political experience was a better choice than a woman who knew the world and understood that electing him would spell disaster.
I refuse to listen to the noise of Thom Hartmann, Mehdhi Hassan, The Young Turks, Marc Lamont Hill and other noise makers on the left. They are dangerous propagandists for white leftists.
The FDA has placed a temporary injunction on President Joe Biden's attempt to pull JUUL from store shelves. The Supreme Court's decisions really messed up society. The far right may be cheering now, but it will greatly affect them too.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday announced it had temporarily suspended its ban on sales of the popular e-cigarette maker Juul.
“On July 5, 2022, FDA administratively stayed the marketing denial order,” the agency’s Tobacco division wrote in a tweet. “The agency has determined that there are scientific issues unique to the JUUL application that warrant additional review.”
“This administrative stay temporarily suspends the marketing denial order during the additional review but does not rescind it,” the agency said in its Twitter thread.
“All electronic nicotine delivery systems, or ENDS products, including those made by JUUL, are required by law to have FDA authorization to be legally marketed,” the agency concluded. “The stay and the agency’s review does not constitute authorization to market, sell, or ship JUUL products.”
The health agency also said that the company is allowed to market its products in the U.S. for the time being.
Two weeks earlier, the health agency banned the sale of the e-cigarette maker, saying that the company did not prove to them that keeping their product on the market is the best for the “protection of public health”.
In a statement, FDA commissioner Robert Califf said that Juul has played a major role in the rise of vaping among U.S. youth.
“Today’s action is further progress on the FDA’s commitment to ensuring that all e-cigarette and electronic nicotine delivery system products currently being marketed to consumers meet our public health standards,” Califf said in his statement.
A federal appeals court a day later temporarily blocked the FDA ban on Juul, granting the e-cigarette maker’s request for a stay order, noting that its order will not reflect its ruling on the case.
A 27-year old sexual predator gets permission to see the child he bore with his rape victim.
The victim, 21 was then a 12 year old girl. She gave birth to her rapist's baby. The child now 8 years old.
The sexual predator lives in Michigan. It had triggered outrage and again it leads back to the Supreme Court and their stupid ass decisions.
The sexual predator at one time didn't want to burden the victim and the child. But of course, a state judge gave the sexual predator joint custody of her child.
The convicted rapist assaulted the girl about nine years ago and of course, she got pregnant.
The judge granted the sexual predator, parenting time and joint custody of the son after a paternity test found that he was legally the father.
Since the conviction, the sexual predator raped a child and got time in the iron college.
This is a travesty of justice and a danger to society.
Underage mothers.
I am for one not approving this decision. This sexual predator should never be around children let alone his own.
The Supreme Court allowed this nonsense to happen because of their culture war based decisions.
Like the 10-year old Ohio girl who got pregnant. She was six weeks and three days pregnant and the state has banned any terminations after six weeks. She had to travel to even more restrictive Indiana to have a term.
Roe v. Wade being overturned setback women's rights and patient/doctor's rights. Doctors who perform termination of fetuses and emergency pregnancies are now at risk of the iron college because of this.
The woman is also at risk. The unplanned pregnancy could lead to back alley abortions.
For those who believe they should carry to term and give it up for adoption. There are over 5 million children in the foster system and not many white parents want a Black, biracial, special needs or LGBTQ child.
She wore a press vest and the Israeli government still killed her.
The U.S. confirms that Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by an Israeli sniper. The Palestinian American was covering the story of the Israeli government bulldozing homes in the West Bank when she was shot by a military sniper.
The finding, in a statement from State Department spokesman Ned Price, came after what the U.S. said were inconclusive tests under U.S. oversight of the bullet recovered from Abu Akleh’s body. It said “independent, third-party examiners” had conducted an “extremely detailed forensic analysis.”
“Ballistic experts determined the bullet was badly damaged, which prevented a clear conclusion” as to who fired the shot, Price said in the statement.
The Israeli government tried to blame it on West Bank gangs and Hamas.
Israel says she was killed during a complex battle with Palestinian militants and that only a forensic analysis of the bullet would confirm whether it was fired by an Israeli soldier or a Palestinian militant. It has strongly denied she was deliberately targeted, but says an Israeli soldier may have hit her by mistake during an exchange of fire with a militant.
U.S. security officials had examined the results of 0separate Palestinian and Israeli investigations and “concluded that gunfire from IDF positions was likely responsible for the death of Shireen Abu Akleh,” Price said.
The medical authorities had the bullets examined and it was determined that Israel had committed a war crime.
Doing her job covering the truth.
Oh, here we go again.
Criticism of Israel will always result in false claims of anti-semitism. These pro-Israeli folks are in support of a Christian-Fascist ethno state. They seriously forgo the notion that Israel is a non religious government. Jews are the prominent religion in the country but there are Christians, Muslims and other religions in the country.
They believe that Israel has a dull right to be a Jewish state. However, they don't support an Islamic state.
They successfully conned American lawmakers into supporting Israel regardless of unethical behavior of a foreign nation. They literally are killing Americans critical of their government and of course President Joe Biden won't do much to stop it. See they basically dismiss it as an accident.
The U.S. “found no reason to believe that this was intentional but rather the result of tragic circumstances during an IDF-led military operation against factions of Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” Price said.
Nor has Washed Up 45, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and five deceased president condemned Israel for its actions.
AIPAC had a strong grip on American politics. Its just as bad as the NRA.
The Palestinian Authority and Al Jazeera accused Israeli forces of deliberately targeting Abu Akleh within hours of her death.
An Associated Press reconstruction of her killing lent support to accounts by Palestinian eyewitnesses, including her crew, that she was killed by Israeli forces. Subsequent investigations by CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post reached similar conclusions.
Fox, Newsmax, OANN and Real America Voice could lose a lot of money if Dominion and Smartmatic win their libel and defamation case.
After Washed Up 45 lost his bid for a second term, he amd his extremist base were fed a daily dose of conspiracy theories and baseless claims of voter fraud.
They made claims that Dominion machines were changing votes from Washed Up 45 to Joe Biden, the rightful winner.
It lead to death threats against workers and the company's reputation as a legitimate business was damaged.
The Murdochs knew that the election was over. But they allowed their primetime talent from Fox and its Business network to push misinformation.
Now a Delaware state judge has dismissed Fox's attempts to have the lawsuit dropped.
In the $1.6 billion lawsuit, Dominion accuses Fox Corp, and the Murdochs specifically, of allowing Fox to amplify false claims that the voting company had rigged the election for Joe Biden.
Fox Corp had attempted to have the suit dismissed, but a Delaware judge said Dominion had shown adequate evidence for the suit to proceed. Dominion is already suing Fox, as well as OAN and Newsmax. The other two could be wiped out if the lawsuit favors Dominion.
“These allegations support a reasonable inference that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch either knew Dominion had not manipulated the election or at least recklessly disregarded the truth when they allegedly caused Fox News to propagate its claims about Dominion,” Judge Eric Davis said.
Davis’s ruling is not a guarantee that Fox will be found liable. But the judge made it clear that this isn’t some frivolous attempt by Dominion – and media and legal experts think Fox could be in real trouble.
The Jan. 6 Committee have also considered having investigations into Fox personalities who had contact with Washed Up 45.
Many of the media personalities were forced to correct the record but the damage was done.
The feds named a person of interest in the deadly July 4th parade massacre in Highland Park, Illinois. By the way, the alleged shooter was captured without a bullet being fired.
Jayland Walker was killed by a hail of bullets after a traffic pursuit. This white terrorist was apprehended after a brief pursuit and caught by the North Chicago Police.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot, Highland Park mayor Nancy Rotering and the U.S. Representatives from Illinois were notified of the latest mass shooting.
On Monday, the city of Highland Park was celebrating its July 4th when the shooting occurred. The terrorist used a very high powered firearm and literally blew heads off of victims. The suspected terrorist climbed up a fire escape ladder and reached a rooftop.
The terrorist used the opportunity to do maximum carnage.
From what the junk food media is telling the public, the alleged terrorist was a rapper and a creepy dude. He literally fantasized about murdering people.
Compare that to a Black DoorDash driver who allegedly fire from a car but never hit a cop. Jayland Walker was shot over 90 times by Akron Police. The Ohio Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Justice Department are dealing with that.
The terrorist was arrested on U.S. Highway 41. Police ordered the terrorist out his vehicle and placed him in custody shortly after around 5pm (CST).
Victim was identified.
This alleged terrorist fired off 120 rounds, injured dozens and killed so far nearly 10 people was arrested without any gunfire from the Lake County sheriff's department, North Chicago Police and Highland Park Police.
Also, the "I never happens here" mantra. While Highland Park is considered a safe community, they took their eyes off the ball. They forgot an active shooter does not care what city, town or village they attack. They want maximum carnage.
The far right often obsess with Chicago. It's like their code for Black. These folks take their eyes off every community in the United States. They are prone to gun violence.
They want to scapegoat Chicago with "Black on whatever" violence, Democratic politicians, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, President Joe Biden, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Black Lives Matter and immigrants. They use Chicago in their culture wars.
Allegedly known as Awake the Rapper, no relation to Chance the Rapper, the terrorist is the son of a prominent businessman who runs a deli in the city.
The terrorist's most recent video posted to YouTube showed him in the aftermath of a school shooting. It ends with the terrorist draping himself in an American flag. Another music video showed a cartoon depiction of a man wearing a shirt with his YouTube channel’s logo on it, holding a long gun and being shot by police.
The YouTube account that hosted his videos, which had previously been accessible to the public, was unavailable Monday night.
The terrorist had his own Discord server, where fans and people who knew him would chat. The community featured a politics board filled with nihilistic political memes. The most recent post before the shooting, which was posted in March, was a picture of Budd Dwyer, the Pennsylvania state treasurer who shot and killed himself on live television in the late 1980s, along with the caption “I wish politicians still gave speeches like this.”
MAGA QAnon rapper turned mass shooter.
On Discord, fans would share posts that the terrorist had made of himself. One apparent selfie the terrorist took in March reads: “Cursed image screenshot and send to everyone or commit not alive anymore,” a reference to suicide.
After Monday’s shooting, 4chan trolls invaded the community, using it as a meeting point to laud the shooter and post memes about the attack. The Discord channel was shut down around 6 p.m. ET, just hours after the terrorist was named as a person of interest.

The terrorist also posted frequently to a message board that discussed graphic depictions of murder, suicide and death. His most recent post to that message board came last week, when he posted a video of a beheading.
The terrorist didn’t frequently post about major political figures on his websites, except for two posts about Washed Up 45.
A video posted to the terrorist’s YouTube page on Jan. 2, 2021, appears to show him among a throng of protesters cheering for Washed Up 45’s presidential motorcade outside an airport. The terrorist flips the phone’s orientation to reveal his face at the end of the video.
Cornered,
The terrorist is also seen draped in a Washed Up 45 flag in a June 27, 2021, post on Twitter. The post is captioned with only the word “spam.”
Mark Heymann, 22, who said he went to Highland Park High School with the terrorist, said the terrorist was a rapper who released music when they were in school together.
Heymann said he doesn’t recall much about the terrorist. “He always seemed a little off, but I can’t describe it much beyond that,” he said.
The terrorist's father, who reportedly owned convenience stores, staged an unsuccessful run for mayor of Highland Park in 2019.
The Chicagoland area seen a rise in gun violence and the three recent mass shootings.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
What to do to protect your life.
Arrested without a bullet fired. They did not do it for Jayland Walker.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. But if you are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
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. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3. The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
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. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
The police were outgunned again.
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. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
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.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Mass Shootings in Chicago and Highland Park, Illinois.
Almost 400 mass shootings this year.
Gun violence is still around. It will not end until we hold gun manufactures accountable. It will not end until we mandate that all firearm owners be required to own insurance. It will not end until we ban the use of military style weapons in the hands of civilians and non-law enforcement. It will not end until we stop using firearms as props in political ads targeted to white nationalist voters. It will not stop until we end the leadership of National Rifle Association chairman Wayne LaPierre.
I usually do the same copy and paste, the poll and the obvious reactions like most Americans who hear about another mass shooting. This time I want to let you know what your tasks are to stay alive if you are involved in a mass shooting.

The third largest city in the United States is a scapegoat for the far-right. They often use the city of Chicago as their wedge issue when it comes to "Black on whatever" crime, gun rights and Democratic politics. There were over 70 people shot in Chicago this weekend alone.
The nation is also talking about a mass shooting in neighboring Highland Park where a terrorist opened fire on people watching a parade.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot, Highland Park mayor Nancy Rostering, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and the U.S. Representatives of Illinois are notified of the latest mass shootings in Chicago.
A 17-year-old was among five people wounded in a mass shooting early Monday in Parkway Gardens, according to Chicago fire and police officials.
Officials responded to a call of multiple people shot about 12:20 a.m. in the 6500 block of South Martin Luther King Drive, a spokesperson with the fire department said.
The teen was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the arm, Chicago police said.
A man, 30, sustained gunshot wounds to the body, two men, both 19, were shot in the leg, and another man, about 25, was shot in the knee.
All five victims were listed in fair condition, police said.
Police said preliminary information indicates that the suspect may have been traveling in a black SUV.
#BREAKING: Illinois Governor Pritzker says info indicates at least 9 shot in Highland Park 4th of July parade shooting. Media reports at least 2 dead. Suspect is reportedly on the run and other festivities in surrounding city's are being canceled.

WARNING GRAPHIC: Video footage of medical response to Highland Park shooting victims. 6 confirmed dead and about 24 admitted to hospital. (Warning: Blood)
Families at Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, react as sirens begin to blare; at least six people were killed in a mass shooting at the parade, and two dozen seriously hurt.
There were mass shootings on the July 4th weekend.
The two incidents in Chicago and Highland Park during the holiday weekend only sparks more discussion about how Congress can't really do much other to stop gun violence. They passed a law that raise the age and stop ex-lovers from purchasing firearms. Oh, they also gave funding to mental illness.
Most of these shooters are not mentally ill. They are specifically coordinated and rational when they carry out these attacks.
Lawn chairs left behind after a mass shooting.
The Congress failed at stopping the straw purchases, nor the interstate travel of firearms from gun friendly Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa.
Chicago has also an issue with the police. Some believe the police are more dangerous than the domestic terrorist gangs that run the streets.
Highland Park north of Chicago there were six people killed and two dozen injured by gun fire at the Fourth of July Parade.
The shooter fired a high profile firearm from the rooftops. The Illinois State Patrol, FBI and Highland Park Police and Lake County Sheriffs Department are now involved. The terrorist is still on the loose.
The town of Highland Park — which is about 25 miles north of Chicago and has approximately 30,000 residents — is asking people to shelter in place because the shooter is still at large nearly three hours after the shooting.
Police recovered a rifle but still consider the suspect to be armed and dangerous, according to Chris Covelli, a spokesperson for Lake County Major Crime Task Force. Covelli described the shooter as a white male, about 18 to 20 years old, who appeared to fire shots from a rooftop. He said the shooting appeared to be “completely random.”
Everyone there is a legal gun owner until they use it in a criminal act. So I don't get how that far-right outlet can sit there and support gun rights while bashing gun owners. On top of that, when the far-right mentions Chicago, it's almost certain they're speaking in code for: BLACK.
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 THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Cornel West is a brother who sells "brother" for a profit.
The Democratic Party is a diverse party. They fight against economy inequality, they push for equal rights for all citizens and work to keep democracy
The Republican Party is the party of white nationalism.
Conservatism is racism. The Republicans are the party of hate, division and distractions. They embrace culture wars to scapegoat Blacks, Muslims, immigrants, those in the LGBTQ community and progressives as the real enemy of freedom. They are
The leftist Cornel West now appears with the founder of The Proud Boys and the far right agitator Candace Owens. He is one of the many leftists trying to discourage Democrats and progressives from voting in the Midterms.
So West appeared on the Karen McInnes podcast with Owens, the Queen of Coonary.
Not sure what Cornel West was thinking was going to happen by debating Candace Owens on Laura Ingraham's show, but having Owens say "that is a fact" that Maxine Waters has "a very low IQ" is pretty much where I thought it would go. pic.twitter.com/0j5wyOBaNW

He is asked about American fascism. He said that basically we have a little bit of fascism.
Owens said that the Democratic Party were supporters of the Klan. West agreed.
Unware that McInnes was the founder of the white nationalist group The Proud Boys. The Canadian-American agitator had to distance himself from the group because he could lose his ability to stay in the United States. But he's cheers them on. Matter of fact, McInnes was friends with disgraced comedian and actor Jay Johnston. Johnston who played Jimmy Pesto on Bob's Burgers was fired out the cannon after he and thousands of others stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Owens and West are not concerned that McInnes is a white nationalist. They are not concerned that he supports violence and has been known to be an active participant in these groups.
They didn't see the Patriot Front march in Boston. The Democratic mayor who is a woman of color condemned it.
Oh by the way, the Democratic Party nominated its first African American to be President of the United States. The Democratic Party nominated its first African American/Asian American to be Vice President of the United States. It has the first woman of color to be the Vice President.
Those who follow Cornel West are likely white leftists who supported failed presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont has a cult of supporters who are known as "Bernie Bros (Broettes)."
West along with The Young Turks, Nina Turner, Jen Perlemen, Jeffrey Shaun King, Katie Halper, Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski, Marc Lamont Hill, Tavis Smiley, Mehdi Hassan, Briahna Joy Gray, Nicholas Cruse, Van Jones, Ryan Knight and Bernie Bros have been collaborating with the alt-right in recent time. They are coordinated in their attempts to undermine President Joe Biden and the Democrats. They collaborate with agitators who are known bigots.
They were the ones who pushed the Tara Reade hoax.
West is no longer working at those prestigious schools. He burnt so many bridges with his former employers. No one wants to hire him.
He is on his fourth marriage. He criticized Black men dating outside their race. Guess who he married to?
Cornel West is a distraction and a chaos agent. He is a part of the "do something" crowd. A guy who can't understand that the overreach is not working for the Democrats.
When the far right and leftists blame Democrats for the world's problems, I shake my head in disgust.
They like to twist history and forgo reality. These extremists are so fucking ridiculous. We have enough of them in Congress. From Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Karen Boebert, the signs of bipartisanship and cooperation are over.
It's not even worth noting that President Joe Biden had hopes that things would return to normal. Alas, with Washed Up 45 and his allies still in the junk food media, the partisan gap will get worse.
