Let's ask this question.... who is doing these polls?
For one, the American voters did not pick a populist firebrand for president. Two, the Congress is mostly responsible for the gridlock in Washington, DC. Three, are we that stupid to fall victim to misinformation on social media.
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and every social media outlet is where many of these folks get their information.
Extremists want a candidate that can light fires on the building. They didn't want a guy who is boring.
So there's a poll claiming that 64% of the Democratic Party wants someone else to be the nominee. Biden confirms he is running in 2024.
Biden was heckled by the father of a victim in the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school mass shooting. He was celebrating the first gun reform measure in almost 30 years. It does not go far enough, but enough to get Republicans to vote for it. A mere 14 members of the Senate and 15 in the House.
"Despite the naysayers, we can make meaningful progress on dealing with gun violence," Biden said in footage of the speech posted to Twitter by CSPAN.
Manuel Oliver demands Biden to do more.
Manuel Oliver, whose son Joaquin was among the 17 people killed in the Parkland mass shooting, could be heard shouting in the background.
"Sit down. You'll hear what I have to say," Biden said, as Oliver continued to yell at the president. Moments later, the president added, "Let me finish my comments. Let him talk. Let him talk."
Oliver told CNN that new gun legislation passed in the wake of a recent spate of high-profile mass shootings is "not enough" to address the violence.
A majority of Americans (64%) approve of the new gun law, including 32% who said they strongly approve of the legislation, according to new polling from Pew Research Center. But the survey also found that most Americans (78%) think the bill will do "a little" (42%) or "nothing at all" (36%) to reduce gun violence.
The bill, which Biden signed in late June, came following high-profile instances of gun violence in the US — including a mass shooting that left 21 dead at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Though the bill represents the most significant gun legislation passed by Congress in roughly three decades, critics contend it falls short of what's necessary to curb gun violence.
Even the president gets heckled. Why ain't the far right upset over that like they were when protesters crashed Karen Kavanaugh's dinner?
The bill expands background checks for people ages 18 and 21 attempting to buy guns and provides incentives for states to pass red flag laws, which open the door for courts to order the temporary confiscation of a person's guns if they're considered a danger to themselves or others. It also builds on a ban on gun ownership for convicted domestic abusers by also including dating or intimate partners in addition to spouses and ex-spouses — aiming to close what's known as the "boyfriend loophole."
"While this bill doesn't do everything I want, it does include actions I've long called for that are going to save lives," Biden said as he signed the bill last month. "Today, we say more than 'enough.' We say more than 'enough.' This time, when it seems impossible to get anything done in Washington, we are doing something consequential."
Biden echoed these sentiments during his remarks at the White House on Monday, stating that the bill "matters, but it's not enough." The president described the US as a country "awash in weapons of war," underscoring that he's "determined" to see assault weapons and high-capacity magazines banned.
Additionally, the poll found that 63% of Americans would like to see Congress pass another round of legislation to address gun violence.
"I am only assuming that white Democrats are more concerned about Biden than anyone else. I mean he was elected to be the "rational boring guy".
With Roe v. Wade being overturned, the far left is blaming Biden for things they could have done in 2010, 2014, 2016 and even 2020. What could have happened was the responsibility of voters who lean Democrat but choose not to vote.
Barack Obama did not have a two year supermajority. Had then Harry Reid called for the end of cloture, the Republicans would have been beating that around his head. Especially with Fox, Rush Limbaugh, Karen Palin and Washed Up 45 always trolling.
Democrats who are young and educated should be out in mass voting.
Texas does not share the power grid with neighboring states. It has its own energy grid and it was the focus of controversy in 2021. When ERCOT had failed to defrost their electrical equipment, it led to a power outage that affected 85% of the state. It was a ice storm and record cold conditions.
It led to 100 deaths. Power did not come back on for two weeks. Texas governor Karen Abbott took a hit for that. Sen. Karen Cruz (R-TX) left the state to travel to Mexico for a vacation. If it wasn't for travelers who caught him on flight, he would have not been forced back home to answer constituents who felt abandoned by their state representatives.
It appears the state has not learned from its mistakes.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas late Sunday sent out a request that Texans cut back on their energy use on Monday.
ERCOT, the state's power grid operator, asked Texans to turn up their thermostats and postpone running major appliances between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday. ERCOT has also called on large electric customers to lower their electricity use.
Total forecasted power demand is expected to surpass 79 gigawatts on Monday, ERCOT said - which would set another record.
ERCOT's statement said that no system-wide outages are expected at this time.
Low winds are also making it harder for the grid to keep up with demand during hotter-than-usual July temperatures. Current projections show wind generation coming in less than 10% of its capacity on Monday, ERCOT said.
Power grids must keep supply and demand in balance at all times. When Texas' grid falls below its safety margin of excess supply, the grid operator starts taking additional precautions to avoid blackouts. The first precaution is to ask the public to cut back electricity usage.
ERCOT asked Texans in May to conserve power during a heat wave that coincided with six power plant outages.
Climate change has made Texas heat both hotter and longer lasting. The average daily minimum and maximum temperatures in Texas have both increased by 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 125 years. The state just saw its hottest December on record since 1889.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner responded to ERCOT's request late Sunday night with the following tweet. He has asked all city departments to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
Again, watching wildlife from a distance is safer than going near.
Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?
You can't fix stupid!
You can't change minds!
You are completely trapped in stupid.
You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.
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.
Wildlife seen in urban areas (excluding fish, birds and insects):
1. Squirrels
2. Chipmunks
3. Field mouse
4. Gray rat
5. Possum
6. Skunk
7. Deer
8. Fox
9. Coyote
10. Bear
A man was bitten by a rabid fox. The animal bit a Prattville resident and it has tested positive for rabies, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.
The incident happened on July 1 after the fox attacked the resident’s dog, ADPH said. Prattville police responded to the call, and wildlife officials helped secured the rabid animal for testing.
The victim has started rabies treatment and will be taking their dog to a vet’s office for a rabies booster, ADPH confirmed.
“This is another reminder to get your pets vaccinated against rabies regardless of where you live,” said Dr. Dee W. Jones, State Public Health Veterinarian. “We have found rabies positives in both domestic animals and wildlife very close to the most populated parts of Autauga County this year.”
Rabies is found primarily in raccoons, with the raccoon strain being the most common threat to our domestic animals. Jones said additional testing is being done to determine if this fox had the raccoon strain, “which is helpful for biologist and wildlife agencies when trying to best to control it.”
Alabama state law requires that dogs, cats and ferrets older than 12 weeks be current with rabies vaccination.
ADPH also recommends residents take the following precautions to avoid rabies exposure:
Do not allow pets to run loose; confine them within a fenced-in area or with a leash
Do not leave uneaten pet food or scraps near your residence
Do not illegally feed or keep wildlife as pets
Do not go near wildlife or domestic animals that are acting in a strange or unusual manner
Caution children not to go near any stray or wild animal
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.
To avoid fox attacks, do not leave food out. Cover trash cans. Keep small cats and dogs in sight whenever they are in open yards. Get animal repellant like pepper spray. Shake pennies in a coffee can.
Foxes hunt at all times but mostly at night. They eat small animals and are known to be in many urban areas.
It appears I am going to have a 2022 list of losers.
The World Wrestling Entertainment company is dealing with a huge scandal involving embattled CEO, Vince McMahon, Jr.
McMahon allegedly paid off numerous mistresses and keeping it off the books.
He had four mistresses. He paid over $12 million to keep them quiet.
Over the past 16 years, McMahon suppressed allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity, the Wall Street Journal reports. He has been doing it for decades. Don't believe the 16 years nonsense. He literally had allegations going back to the 1980s.
The amount is significantly larger than what was previously known.
Four women — all formerly affiliated with WWE — signed agreements with McMahon, 76, that bar them from discussing their relationships with him, the Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the deals and documents it reviewed.
McMahon stepped down as CEO and chairman of WWE in mid-June during an investigation into the alleged misconduct and the Journal reported at the time that he had agreed to pay $3 million to a former paralegal who said he sexually harassed her on the job. This mistress went on record and accused him of being a sexual predator. McMahon will continue to oversee WWE's creative content during the investigation.
So that's apparently why Stephanie McMahon took a leave of absence. It was because of her dad having an affair with one of her workers. She took over as interim CEO. She is married to former WWE wrestler Triple H.
McMahon's wife Linda is former Small Businesses Administration official under Washed Up 45. She is a top lead in the Save America PAC and is a top executive for WWE.
He has cheated on her for years and stayed with him. Of course, the far right obsessed with former president Bill Clinton's alleged affairs and why Hillary Clinton stayed.
Birds of a feather.
Washed Up 45 allegedly cheated on the former first lady. He has been accused of being a sexual predator as well.
Vince McMahon has been the leader and most recognizable face at WWE for decades.
When he purchased what was then the World Wrestling Federation, from his father in 1982, wrestling matches took place at small venues and appeared on local cable channels.
WWE matches are now held in professional sports stadiums and the organization has a sizeable overseas following. It has a broadcast partnership with the Saudi media company MBC Group.
The organization underwent a seismic transformation under McMahon with events like WrestleMania, a premium live production that draws millions of fervent viewers.
Revenue last year exceeded $1 billion for the first time and the company has television deals with Fox and NBCUniversal. Last month it announced a multi-year expansion of its original programming partnership with A&E.
WWE stars have become crossover sensations, including Hulk Hogan, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and John Cena.
Shares of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., based in Stamford, Connecticut, dropped 2% on Friday.
Retired Army general out for attacking First Lady Jill Biden.
Active military are not allowed to criticize the commander in chief. If you're in military uniform, the criticism of the commander in chief will result in severe consequences.
A three-star retired U.S. Army general who was under contract as a consultant to the military after he retired has had his deal with Army suspended and is currently under investigation for a tweet mocking First Lady Jill Biden.
According to USA Today, Retired Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky, who previously served as the Army's chief spokesperson, took a shot at Biden on Twitter after she commented on the Supreme Court's controversial dismantling of Roe v.Wade.
Volesky is a retired United States Army lieutenant general who commanded of I Corps from 2017 to 2020. He previously served as commander of the 101st Airborne Division and commander of the American ground forces in Iraq as part of Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve. Volesky retired in February 2020, being succeeded by Lieutenant General Randy George as commander of I Corps.
Tomorrow, we will continue to fight — for our daughters and granddaughters, and for ourselves — until all women can decide our own futures once again.
After the first lady tweeted, "For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us," Volesky replied in a sneering post stating, "Glad to see you finally know what a woman is," a reference to a question asked of newly-seated Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson during her Senate confirmation hearings by conservatives opposed to her seating.
Didn't think folks would notice!
According to the report, Volesky had agreed to a contract after he retired in 2020 that required him to advise active-duty officers at $92 per hour -- but the contract is now on hold.
Alerted to the tweet, Lt. Gen. Theodore Martin of the Combined Arms Center pulled the plug on Volesky's deal while an investigation is undertaken over whether he violated decorum rules for retired officers.
According to a report from Axios, this is not the first time the retired general has taken a shot at a woman on Twitter, with Axios reporting, "Volesky responded to a tweet from Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) when she announced that she would be on the Jan. 6 select committee and that their 'oath to the Constitution must be above partisan politics,'" with the retired officer replying, "This is all about partisan politics."
Leftist agitator on MSNBC starts a feud with Vice President Kamala Harris and her supporters known as the #KHive. You are aware of the online trolls who support Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Bernie Sanders, Washed Up 45 and numerous other celebrities. They have a vicious support of a celebrity. Unwarranted criticism will result in relentless trolling.
The vice president has a fan base. The hashtag is also a term which is always pronounced and occasionally transcribed as KHive, and refers to the wider online community that is not formally affiliated with her campaign or office. The community formed prior to and during her 2020 presidential campaign as an effort to defend Harris from racist and sexist attacks and misinformation. The movement has been cited as an example of social media fandom or stan culture.
It’s just gibberish. If you think Biden is well, you’re lying to yourself. And shame on those Democrats who have endorsed/campaigned for this guy knowing full well he’s in full sunset mode in front of our eyes - especially the likes of Booker who themselves pointed it out before. https://t.co/LCpmpHdRze

She is the first African American and Asian American woman to be Vice President of the United States. She is relentlessly attacked by the far right and assholes like this guy. Leftists are not allies of Democrats.
Mehdi Hasan has a show on MSNBC Sunday nights and on online streaming service Peacock. It pretty much is a snore fest for me. I normally change the channel whenever he comes on.
Hasan, a critic of President Joe Biden often invites leftists on his program to trash the policies and the vice president.
The KHive fiercely defends her and Biden.
This tweet here even attracted perennial loser Nina Turner.
Turner lost twice to Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH). Turner ran a tone deaf campaign. From baseless accusations against Brown, Turner was hoping to make Cleveland constituents see her as a corrupt figure. It backfired badly.
The online leftists who were driving these conspiracy theories and childish name calling turned off Black voters.
Leftists are the noise.
The fact that Turner never mentioned roads, food deserts, Dead Man's Curve (Interstate 90), infrastructure repairs on the Ohio State Route 8 viaduct, reforesting Akron Innerbelt Highway, expanding the RTA line into the southern tier of Cuyahoga County, ending the COVID-19 pandemic, jobs, voting rights and working with Biden.
All she wanted to do is trash Democrats, promote Medicare for All, call her opponent evil and being funded by corporations. Turner and her insufferable army of trolls kept labeling her opponent as being "bought and paid for." And on top of that she was bragging about millionaires funding her campaign but complained when Brown got her share of the millionaires.
Turner wanted to be the next Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). Sitting around doing activism and not passing one bill while in office.
— Rep. Shontel Brown (@RepShontelBrown) July 7, 2022
Comparing the Democratic presidential nominee to a bowl of shit was one of the main reasons to why she lost.
She also ignored the grassroots aspect of why Brown won. The lawmaker said it best: "Politics is local and I am as local as it comes." So all the noise about "dark money," "colorism" and "establishment" were also triggers. Calling Black voters the "establishment" was one of the dumbest things Turner ran on.
Mehdi Hasan's show is low ratings for a reason. Many are not hip to listening to noise.
That's why its important to keep focus on protecting democracy from these extremist in Washington, DC and on cable news.
Fox was trying to bait U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with a tweet from his husband Chasten. The secretary went directly to the point and tossed Washed Up 45's illegal attempt to undermine democracy into the mix.
The folks at Fox are working overtime to destroy President Joe Biden.
Sounds like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions. https://t.co/pAUiYqxIHT
This is the latest pivot from mass shootings, the overturning of Roe v. Wade and lower gas prices. As the country is moving past the coronavirus, the price of fuel went up during the illegal war Russia declared on Ukraine. Fox was literally beating this talking point about how Biden ain't doing much to stop these issues. Now gas prices are falling, demand for products is decreasing and a good jobs report has sparked Fox to worry about the Supreme Court's far right justices.
Karen Kavanaugh was forced out of his dinner by peaceful protests in Washington, DC.
Biden signed a bill into law that gives federal judges more protection. Kavanaugh, one of the most controversial justices is accused of sexual abuse. He sided with the far right's Court's decision to overturn a settled law.
He along with Idiot Karen Barrett, Karen Gorsuch, Karen Thomas, Karen Alito and Chief Justice Karen Roberts took away women's rights, doctor's professional duty to health and privacy. With Roe v. Wade overturned, the Midterms are now a toss up.
Enthusiasm could help Democrats retain the House and Senate. Republicans emboldened by culture wars, Biden's agenda and refusing to concede the results of the 2020 election will be their enthusiasm.
Morton's The Steakhouse faces more heat for criticizing peaceful protests.
On Fox News Sunday, the Karen asked Buttigieg about his husband's tweet sarcastically dissing Kavanaugh.
"When public officials go into public life, we should expect two things. One, you should always be free from violence, harassment, and intimidation. And two, you're never going to be free from criticism or peaceful protests, people exercising their rights," Buttigieg said during an appearance on Fox News Sunday. "Protesters are upset because a right, an important right that the majority of Americans support, was taken away."
Pete Buttigieg just gave a masterclass on owning the conversation on Fox News. pic.twitter.com/u1lO5NVYkI
That pretty much is how Democrats see it. You brought on yourself. Expect more protests in the wake of these radical Supreme Court decisions. Be lucky they aren't threatening to kill you or overthrow democracy.
During his interview on Sunday, Buttigieg insisted that he would have no problem if the same situation had happened to him while dining.
"I can't even tell you the number of spaces, venues, and scenarios where I’ve been protested. And the bottom line is this: Any public figure should always, always be free from violence, intimidation, and harassment but should never be free from criticism or people exercising their First Amendment rights," Buttigieg said.
Believe me, Buttigieg has been harassed by anti-LGBTQ protesters, environmentalists and leftists who claim he looks like a rat. Buttigieg, a former South Bend, Indiana mayor is an active military member. Buttigieg married educator Chasten Buttigieg (nee Glazmen) and they have two children.
If we keep shutting them down with facts, legal retorts and keep reminding voters that Biden is there to be "boring" and not a "Democratic version of Washed Up 45" we will survive the noise.
Cops are giving more ways to provoke unlawful arrests.
Well let the Supreme Court does rule in favor of Arizona, it will be illegal to film public servants like the police. Arizona governor Karen Ducey has signed into law a bill that requires individuals to stay back 8 ft when they are recording law enforcement.
Now people can be criminally charged with interfering with police duty if they film. So that means if police officers commit violent acts against arrested individuals or immigrants, you got at least be as far as a balcony to record the encounter.
Almost certainly this will be challenged in state court and then federal court.
And as soon as it arrives to the Supreme Court, the 6-3 decision will uproot freedom of the press, freedom of speech, unlawful detainment, and police liability.
Under the new law, it is a misdemeanor if someone keeps recording, after getting a verbal warning to stop. There are, however, some exceptions to the law, including if the person recording is the one being questioned by police.
While supporters say the law is meant to protect law enforcement from harm or distraction, critics say the law is unconstitutional, and does nothing to enhance transparency.
The original proposal from Republican state lawmaker Karen Kavanagh made it illegal to record within 15 feet of an officer interacting with someone unless the officer gave permission. The revised bill was approved on a 31-28 party-line vote Feb. 23 and lowered the distance to 8 feet.
It also now allows someone who is in a car stopped by police or is being questioned to tape the encounter and limits the scope of the types of police actions that trigger the law to only those that are possibly dangerous.
Kavanagh said he made the changes to address constitutional issues. He said the new 8-foot limit was based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision in a case involving abortion protesters.
Democratic Minority Leader Reginald Bolding said that the measure is the wrong way to boost transparency and ease the perception in minority communities that they are not safe from police misconduct.
"One way to not do that is telling them that they cannot use their cellphones or do any type of recording unless it’s within a specific set of guidelines," Bolding said during a vote back in February.
Media groups including The Associated Press said the measure raises serious constitutional issues. They signed onto a letter from the National Press Photographers Association in opposition to the bill. Letting an officer decide on the spot what First Amendment-protected activity should be allowed would be problematic in many situations, the letter said.
Kavanagh’s bill makes a violation a petty offense, the lowest-level Arizona crime that can bring a fine but no jail time. Refusing to stop recording when an officer orders it would be a low-level misdemeanor subject to a 30-day jail sentence.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the six justices are no longer enjoying the privileges of being a judicial celebrity. The far right is outraged over Supreme Court associate Justice Karen Kavanaugh being harassed at a Washington, DC elite steakhouse. The justice and his wife had to flee the establishment after a peaceful protest interrupted his dinner. Fox commentator Karen Doocy was badgering White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over this.
When the court overturned Roe v. Wade it rocked the United States. It ended the privacy of women and their doctors. OBGYN doctors who perform termination are now at risk of being imprisoned because of these draconian states and their stupid culture wars. The decision was a win for white nationalism and Christian extremism.
Women who are now forced to give birth to their children if they were raped. Girls who are raped or impregnated by incest are forced to give birth to their children. Trans men are forced to give birth to their children as well. Almost 30 states have statewide bans on abortion.
Republicans are upset at President Joe Biden over the fact that he won't outright condemn the actions that put the Supreme Court Justices' lives in danger.
Didn't the president sign into law requiring more protection for the justices?
The Doocy press White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the far right Supreme Court justices' safety.
Didn't the President also formally say that he doesn't support any intimidation or violent threats against any federal judge?
Is this the new way of pivoting from the mass shootings in America?
Or is this just Fox being Fox?
What gets me riled up about the Republican Party in the white nationalists that run in that party, is the very fact that they claim there for freedom only if it applies to their extreme views. They're upset over women and men protesting Supreme Court Justice in the public place.
They want to ban people from protesting at Supreme Court Justice houses and want to roll back more freedoms when it comes to women's rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights and voter rights. And yet they're upset over a fucking justice not being able to eat a damn steak.
I believe Kavanaugh brought it on himself as well as Idiot Karen Barrett, Karen Alito, Coon Thomas, Karen Gorsuch, and Chief Justice Karen Roberts.
Yesterday, the president signed an executive order outlining all he can do to prevent States from criminally charging women who travel across state lines to have an abortion.
Speaking from the Roosevelt Room of the White House alongside Vice President Kamala Harris and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Biden dec
Protests around Coney Barrett's home.
ried the court's decision two weeks ago as "extreme" and "totally wrong."
The president also urged women, specifically, to practice their "political power" by showing up to vote in record numbers this November, stating it's the "fastest way" to reverse the court's ruling by giving congressional Democrats the majorities they need to the codify abortion rights into federal law.
"This isn't some imagined horror," Biden said. "It is already happening. Just last week, it was reported that a 10-year-old girl was a rape victim -- 10 years old -- and she was forced to have to travel out of state to Indiana to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life."
"Imagine being that little girl," he continued. "I'm serious, just imagine being that little girl."
He urged voters to make a decision on whether they care about women's rights or Washed Up 45's and Republican extremism.
Biden is also ordering the Department of Health and Human Services to take "additional action to protect and expand" access to medication abortion, emergency contraception and IUDs.
The agency is instructed to increase outreach and public education efforts regarding access to reproductive health care services -- abortion included -- to get reliable information to the public.
Biden signs an executive order to prevent Republicans from prosecuting women seeking abortions.
Patient privacy is another part of Biden's order, which takes additional measures to address the transfer and sale of sensitive health-related data, combat digital surveillance related to reproductive health care services and protects people from fraudulent and deceptive practices.
Last week, Democratic governors urged Biden to use federal facilities and land for abortion services.
His order largely finalizes what has already been announced by the administration -- including instructions to the Justice Department to make sure women can travel out-of-state for abortion care.
The order addresses the elevated risks for patients, providers and clinics, which includes efforts to protect mobile clinics that have been deployed to state borders to offer care for out-of-state patients.
Biden's action, the White House said, directs Attorney General Merrick Garland and the White House counsel to convene volunteer lawyers and organizations to "encourage robust legal representation of patients, providers, and third parties lawfully seeking or offering reproductive health care services throughout the country."
Biden has also said he'll provide leave for federal workers traveling for medical care, which could set an example for private companies to do the same.
It appears that Elon Musk was trolling us. The billionaire douchebag is not interested in purchasing Twitter. Matter of fact, he better be worrying if top executives don't strip him of his leadership and force him out of Tesla and SpaceX.
Musk's lawyers said Twitter had failed or refused to respond to multiple requests for information on fake or spam accounts on the platform, which is fundamental to the company's business performance.
"Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement," the filing said.
It was revealed that he slept with a top executive amd she gave birth to twins.
He allegedly has 10 to 15 children.
Twitter is threatening to sue Musk after he literally stunted on television he was going to purchase the social media for $44 billion. Almost immediately after he made his decision, the far right was cheering it.
They believed the troll would reinstate their hateful asses back to harass, intimidate, spread violence amd encourage violence. Washed Up 45, getting tired of Truth Social was hoping to make a grand return to Twitter because Musk signalled he would allow the former president back.
New Coke and MySpace being bought by Rupert Murdoch comes to mind.
Twitter had laid off hundreds of workers because of this pending deal. Shareholders are literally cashing in on this and they are not willing to let this troll slide.
Tesla executives saw the writing on the wall. They believe Musk is loosing his damn mind and is placing the company in danger.
Musk is a conspiracy theorist, potential sexual predator and one of the richest men in the world. He recently surpassed Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos as the No. 1 richest.
But his string of scandals, revelations of secret children, payoffs for sexual harassment towards women and spreading misinformation about COVID has likely doomed the deal.
He can't escape this deal without losing at least $20 billion. Cause he negotiate a deal where he can't just walk away. He already lost $1 billion by even mentioning he is backing out.
Twitter’s board chair Bret Taylor said the company is still committed to closing the deal at the agreed-upon price and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the agreement.
“We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery,” Taylor wrote.
It appears that Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) maybe willing to get back on board with Build Back Better. Gas prices are dropping in the country.
Democrats are more enthusiastic about voting thanks to the Supreme Court reversing a series of settled decisions. Roe v. Wade has woken a sleeping giant.
Ukraine is still leading the news. Russia has made small gains but in the process lost over 50,000 soliders. The White House is working hard to freedom for Britney Griner, Paul Whelan, Andy Huynh and Alexander Drueke.
America is still divided by politics, race amd economic standings.
Job growth accelerated at a much faster pace than expected in June, indicating that the main pillar of the U.S. economy remains strong despite pockets of weakness.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 372,000 in the month, better than the 250,000 Dow Jones estimate and continuing what has been a strong year for job growth, according to data Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The unemployment rate was 3.6%, unchanged from May and in line with estimates. An alternative measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons fell sharply, dropping to 6.7% from 7.1%.
“The strong 372,000 gain in non-farm payrolls in June appears to make a mockery of claims the economy is heading into, let alone already in, a recession,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
June’s gains marked a slight deceleration from the downwardly revised 384,000 in May. April’s count was revised down to 368,000.
Average hourly earnings increased 0.3% for the month and were up 5.1% from a year ago, the latter number slightly higher than the 5% Dow Jones estimate and indicative that wage pressures remain strong as inflation accelerates.
The wage number probably means Federal Reserve officials “are likely to press ahead with aggressive rate hikes over the coming months,” Hunter added. Policymakers have indicated a 0.75 percentage point rate hike is likely at their July meeting.
Vice President Kamala Harris visits Highland Park after this week's mass shooting.
By sector, education and health services led job creation, with 96,000 hires, while professional and business services added 74,000 positions. Other contributors included leisure and hospitality (67,000), Health care (57,000), and transportation and warehousing (36,000).
Other sectors showing strong gains included manufacturing (29,000), information (25,000) and social assistance (21,000). Government jobs fell by 9,000.
There was some disparity in the numbers: The headline figure for job creation under the BLS’ establishment survey was strong. But the survey of households showed a decline of 315,000, leaving the total jobs count 755,000 shy of its February 2020 pre-pandemic level.
The gains come despite an inflation rate running at the fastest pace since the early 1980s. Prices have soared at the pump and the grocery store, as well as in virtually all other aspects of daily life.
To combat rising inflation, the Fed has instituted a series of interest rate hikes aimed at slowing the economy without causing a recession. However, recent indicators show that growth has cooled considerably.
Inflation has hit lower-income households especially. Bank of America credit and debit card data shows spending among the sector fell 1% year over year as of June 30, a potentially ominous sign for an economy that draws more than two-thirds of its growth from consumers.
Gross domestic product contracted 1.6% in the first quarter and is on pace to decline 1.9% in the second quarter, meeting the common definition of a recession. Slower spending and a sharp decline in private investment is responsible for much of the pullback.
The jobs market has been seen as the bulwark against a recession, and June’s numbers show that the employment pillar remains strong.
We are still dealing with a global pandemic which killed 10 million worldwide. The United States has 1.08 million dead from the coronavirus.
Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the president. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.
President Joe Biden's headaches:
The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
Gun violence and Congress not doing anything to stop it.
Inflation.
Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a democratic socialist.
The members of The Squad and Progressive Caucus.
The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
Anti-Vaxxers.
Lawmakers and activists who protest the CDC guidelines during the pandemic.
The endless culture wars that Republicans find outrage in.
Washed Up 45 and his minions on Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the internet.
Facebook and TikTok and the idiots who run it and the idiots who post on it.
Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and OANN's relentless talk about conspiracies, Hunter Biden and the president's mental capacity and health.
The endless racism towards Biden's allies Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Barack Obama.
The relentless talk about spending despite the former president's reckless things.
The lack of civility towards fellow Americans.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
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.
McConnell thinks giving people the safety net keeps them from working.
You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.
Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in.

Jobs are looking good despite fears of an economic slowdown and with a roaring pace of inflation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.
Companies are still trying to hire employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.
Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.
Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.
The Supreme Court ruled in some high profile cases.
We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.
Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.
Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.
Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience.
Washed Up 45's presidency and Republican controlled governments killed millions of Americans. Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
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. Let them know that women deserve the right to safe medical procedures. Let them know that their failure to pass legislation to lower prices are the reasons why the economy is in a free fall.
The far right will never stop undermining America.
The Medal of Freedom and Medal of Honor were given to individuals at the White House.
Manipulated media once again plays a role in the U.S. elections. Far right agitators fall for a clip of President Joe Biden placing the Medal of Honor on a U.S. veteran. According to them, the president placed the medal on backwards.
Conservatives are easily manipulated by misinformation. That is a fact.
It quickly spread and it took nearly three hours before the fact checkers debunked it.
A grainy and blurry version of a clip in which Biden put the medal around one of the veterans, Dwight Birdwell, started circulating on social media platforms, with users falsely claiming that the president put the medal on backwards.
The president placed the medal on Birdwell correctly.
The very fact the far right did that was obvious. They are willing to spread misinformation to win.
This deceptively edited video is now over 2 million views. This is where that whole ‘DNC rapid reaction social media team’ that I’ve been advocating, which the RNC has and uses so effectively, would come in handy. Again. And again. And again. 🦗

The conspiracy theories about Biden's health, age and agenda have been a common theme among the far right and leftists. These extremist have no shame.
Birdwell, who was honored for his help heading off an assault and evacuating wounded at Tan Son Nhut Airbase near Saigon in 1968, despite injuries to his torso and face. The blurriness of the video circulating online makes it difficult to see whether Biden places the star-shaped medal on Birdwell’s chest or back.
The Medal of Honor was place correctly on Dwight Blackwell.
He is a member of the Cherokee Nation and the first Native American to be honored.
Megan Rapinoe, Simone Biles, Cindy McCain, Gabby Giffords and Denzel Washington were honored at the White House as well. Denzel could not make it because he tested positive for the coronavirus.
Vote.
Ignore the noise.
The Republicans are willing to destroy democracy to own the libs. They will never stop falling for fake news. They look at facts as fake news. They are emboldened by Washed Up 45 amd white nationalism.
The Russian Federation is also willing to interfere in the 2022 Midterms. They believe Republicans are idiots. They want them in power so they can destroy America from within. They believe culture wars in the country will drive Americans to a civil war.
