Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are married. They got married in Las Vegas. This is Jen's fourth marriage and Ben's second.
Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner and Jen was previously married to Marc Anthony. Affleck has three children with Garner and Lopez has two with Anthony.
They had a relationship over 20 years ago and almost gotten married. They ended up going their separate ways soon after. There were allegations of Affleck cheating on her.
Also Jen is known as Jennifer Lynn Affleck. As an entertainer, dancer, singer, media personality, model, businesswoman, she carries Jennifer Lopez or J-Lo naming.
Bennifer is back.
They did not have the fancy wedding that most celebs usually have. They registered with the Clark County records amd had officially signed off as legally married. On top of that, their actual wedding was small, quick and simple.
According to Lopez, Affleck's discomfort with the media scrutiny was one reason for their split and, years later, she described it as her "first real heartbreak": "I think different time, different thing, who knows what could've happened but there was a genuine love there." Both during the relationship and in the months after the break-up, Affleck characterized some of the media commentary as rooted in racism, classism and sexism: "We were thought of as two different kinds of people." In subsequent years, he pushed back against the "curious notion" that he should view the relationship as a mistake, and reflected on the prevailing tabloid culture at the time "where it's about one person and everybody focuses on them." Affleck acknowledged that "there were ways I did contribute to it", citing the "Jenny from the Block" music video and a joint promotional interview for Gigli. He said neither of them "anticipated" the degree of attention they would receive: "I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible."
Affleck and Lopez remained in contact in the years after their breakup and spoke highly of each other in public. They began dating again in April 2021, 20 years after they first met, with Lopez publicly confirming their rekindled romance that July. Lopez confirmed her second engagement to Affleck in April 2022. They were married in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
I want to not jump to conclusions and I seen the social media outrage of a character snubbing two Black girls at a theme park in Philadelphia.
Rosita, a Muppet character on Sesame Street. The person who dressed as the loveable Muppet was seen giving high fives to spectators along a parade route. As soon as two Black girls go up to the character looking for a hug or high five, the character shook its head and moved on.
It was recorded by their mother and thus shared on social media.
This is absolutely HEARTBREAKING! π These two young Queens did NOT deserve to be blatantly singled out and ignored by this #SesameStreet character! @SesamePlace MUST address their staff's disgusting behavior! π₯: IG/__jodiii__ pic.twitter.com/07shnhEGvM
The same employee in a 4th video exposing their anti-Black racism to another Black child. All of the Black parents need to file a lawsuit since sesame place is trying to give cover to the anti-Black racist employee!#AntiBlackRacism#BoycottSesamePlacehttps://t.co/nTIAiYEzPd

The employee who performs in the Rosita costume seems to engage in a pattern of deliberately ignoring Black children who tries to engage with the character. This employee needs to be fired TODAY, unless Sesame Place condones this type of anti-Black energy pic.twitter.com/PThOwsnS5F

Of course, Tariq Nasheed, Jeffrey Shaun King, Ben Crump and others rush to claim it was racism.
No it was the "No Hug" policy Sesame Place Philadelphia enforced during the pandemic.
Pennsylvania mother shares a video of her daughters being ignored by Rosita.
Not saying the snub was in good taste, but I feel like they blew this situation out of proportion.
When King and Crump get involved, it is a red flag. They usually exploit Black pain for profit.
Or could I be wrong?
Someone posted a video of Rosita character ignoring another Black child.
The mother alleges that the character ignored her daughters but went on to hug other children waiting in the area.
The video has been viewed more than 315,000 times since being posted on Instagram.
According to the mother who posted the video, she asked Sesame Place employees if she could see a supervisor but she says she never did.
Since the video went viral, celebrities, including Kelly Rowland, have reacted on social media.
On Sunday, Sesame Place released a statement saying, "Our brand, our park and our employees stand for inclusivity and equality in all forms. That is what Sesame Place is all about and we do no tolerate any behaviors in our parks that are contrary to that commitment."
"The performer portraying the Rosita character has confirmed that the ‘no’ hand gesture seen several times in the video was not directed to any specific person, rather it was a response to multiple requests from someone in the crowd who asked Rosita to hold their child for a photo which is not permitted," the theme park said. "The Rosita performer did not intentionally ignore the girls and is devastated about the misunderstanding."
The park also says it has reached out to the family, apologized and invited them for a special meet-and-greet opportunity with the park characters.
"We apologize to these guests for not delivering the experience they expected and we commit to do our best to earn their and all guests' visit and support."
The mother reacted to Sesame Place's statement on social media, alleging that she's had no communication with the theme park since trying to confirm a time to speak.
She also says she believes the statement was released to save their appearance and reputation.
"The character could've just waved to everyone or just kept walking, but to blatantly look at my kids and say no! … He looked at them and said no!! So embarrassing and hurtful. I will repost this video everyday until the situation is handled."
The widow of far right extremist Rush Limbaugh is trying to rid herself of that noise. She is trying to sell the old fart's mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida. She may of inherited his ill-gotten fortune. Disgraceful agitator left a legacy of divisiveness and extremism.
Washed Up 45 honored him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The old fart died in 2021 of cancer.
He died knowing a Democrat is now the President of the United States.
Kathryn Rogers, the fourth wife of the old fart.
The 2.7-acre waterfront compound, owned by a trust tied to the talk show host’s widow Kathryn Adams, is being quietly shopped for $150 million to $175 million, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The Limbaugh home sits on an island in West Palm Beach.
Located on exclusive North Ocean Boulevard, the property reportedly boasts 250 feet of ocean beach access and features multiple structures, including a flamboyant 24,000-square-foot house.
The program that began 33 years ago on national syndication with only 56 radio stations grew to be the most listened-to radio show in the United States, airing on more than 600 stations, according to the show’s website. Up to 27 million people tuned in on a weekly basis and Limbaugh has lovingly referred to his passionate fan base as "Dittoheads," as they would often say "ditto" when agreeing with the iconic radio host.
A mass shooting at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis. The terrorist killed three and injured others. A man who was not involved shot and killed the terrorist.
The so-called "good guy with a gun" will be the far right and NRA's talking point. The good guy was lucky to disarm the terrorist. However, it is a tragedy for all involved.
It was revealed the "good guy with a gun" was from a Republican county. So he was a white man who wasn't shot. If the "good guy" was Black, Muslim or immigrant, they would be dead.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen Holcomb, Sen. Karen Young (R-IN), Sen. Karen Braun (R-IN) and the U.S. lawmakers for Indiana were notified.
The Greenwood Police, Indianapolis Metro Police, Johnson County Sheriff, the FBI, the ATF and the Indiana Bureau of Investigation will deal with this mass shooting at the Greenwood Park Mall.
Three people were killed as well as the shooter.
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.
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. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said two others were wounded in the shooting and were being treated at area hospitals.
Greenwood Park Mall is south of Indianapolis.
Early Monday morning, Johnson County Coroner Michael Pruitt identified those who had died as three males and one female. That includes the shooter, who police have only identified as an adult male. Their names are expected to be released later Monday at a 2 p.m. news conference.
Chief Ison previously stated Sunday night, before the coroner's investigation, that those shot included one male and four females.
The coroner's office is working with the Marion County Coroner's Office on positive identification of those who died. Their identifies are expected to be released some time Monday morning.
One of the victims injured is a 12-year-old girl that had a minor injury to her back, police said. She went home from the mall after the shooting, then to a hospital for treatment.
Ison said a "good Samaritan" witnessed the shooting, then shot and killed the shooter.
IMPD said the armed bystander who shot the shooter is cooperating with police. The bystander is believed to have had a handgun and chose to intervene when he saw the shooting. Ison said the bystander was a 22-year-old man from Bartholomew County was carrying a gun lawfully. Police have not shared his name.
"This has shaken us to our core. This isn't something we've seen in Greenwood before. It is absolutely horrendous," Ison said. He went on to say that they have trained for active shooter situations like this and he was proud of the response from law enforcement.
Police said the shooter had a long rifle and several magazines of ammunition.
IMPD is assisting at the scene and said there was no known ongoing threat during a news conference at 7:45 p.m. Multiple police units went through the mall to make sure there were no people wounded or still sheltering in place.
People inside the mall at the time of the shooting told 13News reporter Logan Gay that they heard 20 gunshots in the food court. An IMPD spokesman said it appears shots were only fired in the food court area.
IMPD also said there is no information yet on a motive for the shooting, and investigators were interviewing witnesses who were taken to an area near the mall for questioning and reunification with their families.
Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers released a statement on Facebook thanking the armed bystander. It reads in part:
"This person saved lived tonight. On behalf of the City of Greenwood, I am grateful for his quick action and heroism in this situation."
In an earlier statement, the mayor asked for "prayers to the victims and our first responders."
In a statement posted on social media late Sunday, Holcomb said he is monitoring the ongoing investigation.
"Lives were lost today, and I’m thinking about all the victims of this horrible incident, now and in the days and weeks to come," Holcomb said in the post.
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.
Life interrupted.
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.

Tops reopens despite calls to demolish or move to another location.
Folks will have a grocer in East Buffalo, New York.
The Tops Friendly Market reopens months after a white extremist opened fire on shoppers, killing 10.
He is currently in custody and on suicide watch. He is also facing a federal sandwich because his motivation was hate of Blacks and perception of white replacement theory. He traveled over 300 miles to target Black majority neighborhoods. Had He gotten away, he was motivated to travel to Rochester, Cleveland and majority Black cities to cause more havoc. If convicted, he could get LIFE in the iron college. If convicted of federal charges, he could get DEATH.
The opening had a mixed reaction. Some say its too soon. Others want to have Tops keep a commitment to eliminating the food deserts in Buffalo.
Community members, local politicians and company leaders spoke at an hour-long ceremony held outside of the supermarket Thursday intended to "honor and respect all victims and impacted associates and community members," store officials said.
Following the shooting, Tops Friendly Markets announced it would remain closed "until further notice."
Store officials at the time said they were "unable to speak to a timeline for reopening" due to the store being "an active law enforcement investigation site," but noted that they were "committed to reopening up this community store."
"When the time is right for all of us, we will reopen our doors on Jefferson Avenue. Until then, we remain here with you and for you in every way we possibly can," store officials said May 18.
The supermarket has been fully renovated since the deadly attack and has added new security measures, such as enhanced video monitoring systems, an emergency evacuation alarm system, and additional emergency exits, Tops said in a news release.
Persons said the store location on Jefferson Avenue has had its products and equipment emptied and restocked since the shooting, according to WKBW.
He said employees who no longer feel comfortable returning to the location will have other stores to work at if they choose, WKBW reported.
Comedian and product pitchman Craig Robinson was scheduled to perform at a Charlotte comedy club when a terrorist opened fire inside.
The terrorist opened fire inside The Comedy Zone on Saturday evening, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The terrorist was taken into custody and no one was injured, according to officials.
Robinson, who is known for his roles in the TV show "The Office," and movies "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Pineapple Express," said he was in the club's green room at the time of the shooting.
The comedian described the situation in a video posted to his Instagram account.
I'm performing at The Comedy Zone in Charlotte, North Carolina. There was an active shooter in the comedy club," he said.
Robinson said the club had him move to the venue next door, the Metro Credit Union Amphitheater, where the band Big Time Rush was playing. In the background of Robinson's video, the band can be heard performing.
"Again, there's an active shooter at the club I was at," he said, adding jokingly, "Big Time Rush to the rescue."
He said he wanted fans to see where he was as the chaos unfolded.
"I'm cool. I'm safe. It was just wild. I was in the green room and they were like, 'Everybody get out,'" Robinson recalled. "It was wild. It was a moment for sure."
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Barack Obama told former ally he needs to grow up.
Remember.
Ignore the noise.
VOTE.
Republicans are easily manipulated by misinformation. It is pretty much a fact that these idiots are obsessed with the 2020 election, QAnon, crisis actors, vaccines and the president's health.
Joseph Robinette Biden is the oldest elected president. His age is an issue with the far right and some of these idiot leftists.
The Texas lawmaker who was the former White House doctor to former President Barack Obama and Washed Up 45 is a conspiracy theorist and alleged drunk. He is on this Russian propaganda nonsense about President Joe Biden's mental health.
Rep. Karen Jackson (R-TX) went to Fox to attack Biden and share a conversation he had with Obama. The 44th President of the United States said that he was disappointed in him and asked him to stop promoting baseless accusations about Biden.
Jackson is one of the 90 members of the House of Representatives who does nothing other than troll for social media likes and internet fame. He is a freshman lawmaker who represents Texas' 13th Congressional District which holds Lubbock, Amarillo, Wichita Falls and parts of Denton. It is one of the most Republican districts in the state. So they will keep elected this asshole for years despite him doing absolutely nothing to help his constituents.
Jackson said Obama called him out after the doctor tweeted that Biden might need to undergo a cognitive screening. “Remember the cognitive test that I gave @realDonaldTrump?” Jackson tweeted. “The one he aced! Sounds like somebody else might need some testing done!! Scary!!”
To refresh your memory, Jackson is referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) the former president took during his presidency – you know, the one where he so proudly repeated “person, woman, man, camera, TV.” And while Washed Up 45 scored 30 out of 30 on the test, it is not an indication of his intelligence. Instead, the test is designed to help doctors detect early signs of disease, including Alzheimer’s.
Obama never had a problem with his White House doctor. But now, Obama is annoyed by Jackson dabbling in Softball Hannity conspiracies.
In the Fox interview, Jackson shared details of a “scathing” email he received from Obama shortly after his tweet. “I have made a point of not commenting on your service in my successor’s administration and have always spoken highly of you both in public and in private. You always served me and my family well, and I have considered you not only a fine doctor and service member but al so a friend,” Obama wrote. “That’s why I have to express my disappointment at the cheap shot you took at Joe Biden via Twitter. It was unprofessional and beneath the office that you once held. It was also disrespectful to me and the many friends you had in our administration. You were the personal physician to the President of the United States as well as an admiral in the U.S. Navy. I expect better, and I hope upon reflection that you will expect more of yourself in the future.”
For his part, Jackson has received his own fair share of criticism about his fitness for office. A 2021 report from the Department of Defense inspector general said Jackson made “sexual and denigrating” comments to female subordinates and drank alcohol on the job while serving as White House physician.
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.
A South Carolina man loses his life by getting close to nature.
It is rare for an alligator to attack humans. However, if you get too close to the reptile, you are likely a victim of stupidity. On land, an alligator is fast. In the water, an alligator is deadly.
A woman in Florida was killed by two alligators.
Alligators are found in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and sometimes Tennessee and North Carolina. They are considered an apex predator due to their superiority and there are not many predators going after them.
Usually they hunt at night and are scavengers for carrion. They are very vicious when protecting their young and are mating.
An elderly woman decided to walk near a pond and fell into it. She panicked and the motions of water got the alligators attention.
After the unidentified elderly woman tumbled into the pond, she “struggled to stay afloat,” the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
“While in the water, two alligators were observed near the victim and ultimately grabbed her while in the water,” the statement added.
The tragedy occurred Friday night at about 8 p.m. at the 0Boca Royale Golf and Country Club in Englewood, about 30 miles south of Sarasota.
Her body was found shortly afterward, and she was declared dead at the scene.
An alligator trapper from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission removed the two suspect alligators — one 8 feet 10 inches long, the other 7 feet 7 inches — as part of the investigation, the sheriff’s office said.
“The FWC and Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office will be working jointly on this investigation until cause of death is determined by the Sarasota County Medical Examiner’s Office,” the wildlife agency said in a statement.
Is this stupid?
The country club is located in a 1,000-acre private gated community that features lakes and nature preserves, according to its website.
The Boca Royale Golf and Country Club is a gated community in south Sarasota County of about 1,000 acres with homes, lakes, golfing and nature preserves, according to its website. There are about 1,000 homes on the property, with several on the water.
Doug Foote, the general manager of the country club, declined to comment because the investigation is ongoing. But he told the 0Sarasota Herald-Tribune there were warning signs about alligators posted near the water.
One local resident told the Tribune that there are too many gators in the area.
Fatal alligator attacks in the state are rare. From 1948 to 2021, Florida reported 442 unprovoked bite incidents from alligators; 26 resulted in fatalities, according to the Wildlife Commission.
This was the latest in a string of attacks in the state.
Police in Florida say a man died searching for Frisbees in a lake at a disc golf course where people are warned by signs to beware of alligators.
The unidentified man was looking for Frisbees and other flying discs in the water and "a gator was involved," the Largo Police Department said in an email Tuesday.
The man who died was 47 years old, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in an email. The commission said a contracted specialist was working to remove an alligator from the lake "and efforts will be made to determine if it was involved in this situation.”
The park's website notes that patrons can “discover the sport of disc golf on a course set in the natural beauty of this park.” The course is set along the lake, which has no-swimming signs posted along it.
Now, police are telling people to avoid the lake while the investigation continues.
Once the animal gets a hold of a prey, it's rare that an animal will escape without losing a body part.
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 escape an alligator in the water if possible, punch its eyes or put something in its nose. Don't turn your back on an alligator. If you're on land run backwards in a zig zag position. An alligator does not want to waste its time trying to catch a prey that moves too much. An alligator can travel up to 20 mph on land and is very fast and silent in the water.
When you are near ponds or bodies of water keep pets and small children away.
I will say this as a reminder. Back in the slavery days, white extremists would kidnap Black babies and string them to trees. They leave them crying in the swamps for alligators and bears to attack them. They would use Black babies as bait for alligators and bears.
