Florida rapper let his guard down and paid the price.
Posting threats and daring people to find your address is pretty stupid. Rollie Bands found out that posting on social media was the dumbest thing to do, especially if you are an entertainer.
He was shot and killed outside his Tampa apartment.
The rapper was on his Instagram stories saying "If a Nigga want smoke....I am at my crib in 5 mins."
The shooting happened in the parking lot of the IQ Apartments on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where — despite receiving lifesaving measures — he died from his injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
The sheriff’s office said the shooting did not appear random as the suspects and victim are possibly known to each other. No arrests have been made in the shooting.
Shortly before the shooting, the rapper had posted an Instagram story saying he was on his way home if they "want smoke," according to HipHopDX.
The terrorists are still at large and the Tampa Police and Hillsborough County Sheriff's office would ask for citizens to bring in tips to solve this murder.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox 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.
Upcoming rapper made a fatal mistake in posting his address involuntarily.
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.
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.
We are close to another global pandemic. The World Health Organization has announced that monkeypox is a global concern which is one step from a declaration of a pandemic.
The U.S is leading in cases of monkeypox. Of course, conservatives are scapegoating and leftists are demanding President Joe Biden do something about it.
The disease originated in Nigeria when a man traveled to England. It became a spread soon after.
The outbreak marked the first time monkeypox has spread widely outside Central and West Africa. From May 2022 and onwards, cases were reported from an increasing number of countries and regions, predominantly in Europe but also in North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), raising the status of the outbreak to a global health emergency.
There were a total of 18,597 confirmed cases. About 97% of cases outside of endemic regions in Africa have occurred in the community of men who have sex with men, especially those who have multiple sex partners.
Monkeypox is a viral infection that manifests a week or two after exposure with fever and other non-specific symptoms, and then produces a rash with lesions that usually last for 2-4 weeks before drying up, crusting and falling off. While monkeypox can cause large numbers of lesions, in the current outbreak, some patients experience only a single lesion in the mouth or on the genitals, making it more difficult to differentiate from other infections. In infections before the current outbreak, 1–3 percent of people with known infections have died (without treatment). Cases in children are more likely to be severe, and health authorities emphasized that anyone can catch the disease, particularly if they have close contact with a symptomatic person. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has emphasized the importance of reducing stigma in communicating about the demographic aspects of monkeypox, specifically with regards to gay and bisexual men.
Monkeypox is an infectious viral disease that can occur in humans and some animals. Symptoms include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that forms blisters and then crusts over. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms ranges from five to twenty-one days. The duration of symptoms is typically two to four weeks. There may be mild symptoms, and it may occur without any symptoms being known. The classic presentation of fever and muscle pains, followed by swollen glands, with lesions all at the same stage, has not been found to be common to all outbreaks. Cases may be severe, especially in children, pregnant women or people with suppressed immune systems.
It is spreading. The Sun Belt and Rust Belt are where the cases are increasing.
The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus, a zoonotic virus in the genus Orthopoxvirus. The variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, is also in this genus. Of the two types in humans, the West African type causes a less severe disease than the Central African (Congo basin) type. It may spread from infected animals by handling infected meat or via bites or scratches. Human-to-human transmission can occur through exposure to infected body fluids or contaminated objects, by small droplets, and possibly through the airborne route. People can spread the virus from the onset of symptoms until all the lesions have scabbed and fallen off; with some evidence of spread for more than a week after lesions have crusted. Diagnosis can be confirmed by testing a lesion for the virus's DNA.
There is no known cure. A study in 1988 found that the smallpox vaccine was around 85% protective in preventing infection in close contacts and in lessening the severity of the disease. A newer smallpox and monkeypox vaccine based on modified vaccinia Ankara has been approved, but with limited availability. Other measures include regular hand washing and avoiding sick people and other animals. Antiviral drugs, cidofovir and tecovirimat, vaccinia immune globulin and the smallpox vaccine may be used during outbreaks. The illness is usually mild and most of those infected will recover within a few weeks without treatment. Estimates of the risk of death vary from 1% to 10%, although very few deaths as a consequence of monkeypox have been recorded since 2017.
The U.S. is leading in coronavirus cases despite things returning to normal. Washed Up 45 squandered his election chances by literally ignoring the threat. He said it would be like the flu and it will go away.
Yet, the virus spread and all the former president done was call it the China Virus.
Biden who is dealing with the coronavirus is now tasked to establish a monkeypox task force.
The Biden Administration announced the first phase of its national monkeypox vaccine strategy, a critical part of its monkeypox outbreak response. The vaccine strategy will help immediately address the spread of the virus by providing vaccines across the country to individuals at high risk. This phase of the strategy aims to rapidly deploy vaccines in the most affected communities and mitigate the spread of the disease.
This announcement is a critical component of the Administration’s broader public health response, which includes rapidly scaling up and decentralizing testing alongside continued provider education and community engagement across the country. The Administration’s monkeypox outbreak response is also informed by the multiple times over the last twenty years that the United States has effectively responded to the virus. The United States government’s response is coordinated by the National Security Council Directorate on Global Health Security and Biodefense – more commonly known as the White House Pandemic Office – which President Biden restored on day one of his presidency, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Vote for Steven Roberts for Missouri's 1st Congressional District.
Ignore the noise.
Vote.
Do-nothing lawmaker bypasses question on whether President Joe Biden should run in 2024. Democrat Cori Bush of Missouri, is an activist turned lawmaker. Bush is a Black leftist who caters to the white leftists.
She is the equivalent of the far right do nothings Karen Boebert of Colorado and Idiot Karen Greene of Georgia.
They are first term lawmakers who rather be trolls, activists and social media darlings than representatives of their districts. They are the type of people I used to hate about high school.
A bunch of motherfucking drama queens.
Add Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC), Rep. Karen Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Karen Jackson (R-TX), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) and 75 other members who are known for doing nothing other than being a distraction to America.
Bush has voted against several parts of Biden's legislative agenda, including the bipartisan infrastructure bill. During an interview at her campaign headquarters on Monday morning, she declined to answer directly if she wanted to see Biden run for a second term.
A choice between two toxic candidates.
At first, a campaign aide interjected to try and stop the line of questioning.
"She's got to go," the aide said before Bush jumped in.
"I don't want to answer that question because we have not ... That's not ... Yeah, I don't want to answer that question," she said.
Bush was participating in 5 On Your Side's voter guide that is scheduled to be released later this week ahead of Missouri's primary election.
We're facing threats from a growing far-right, white supremacist movement across Missouri and the country. But I've seen the power we hold when we come together. We've proven it & we'll never back down.
I am proud to work alongside Sen. @BernieSanders to make healthcare a human right, enact a Green New Deal, and fight for justice in the workplace. I’m honored to have his endorsement & look forward to continue building our movement lifting up the power of everyday people. https://t.co/gwO1wIpD6q
Bush was up against a time crunch. She was scheduled to appear at another public event right after the interview was over.
The congresswoman's aides escorted her out of the campaign site and into a vehicle to leave the premises moments after the interview concluded.
“He’s the president," Bush said. "He has the right to run for a second term, absolutely. But I don't want to ... I'd rather you not ask that question."
Biden's poll numbers have declined as the 2022 midterm approaches and inflation soars. However, Bush's reluctance to take on the president's political future likely has more to do with her own as she's competing against state Sen. Steve Roberts, a pro-Biden Democrat who has criticized her for being too far to the left.
2. August 2020: Cori Bush criticized Biden’s pick of Kamala Harris, playing up the “Kamala is a cop” campaign:
“I can’t overlook her past.”
“We can’t forget about the people who were hurt along the way…because of decisions she has made.”
"I support the president. Full stop," Roberts said. "I'm curious to know who Rep. Bush intends on supporting."
Republicans seized on Bush's remarks on social media to highlight the decline in public support for Biden.
The National Republican Congressional Committee shared the clip with the caption, "Nobody thinks Joe Biden is doing a good job."
Bush has faced heat since she took oath of office.
She literally camped outside the steps of the U.S. Capitol to demand Biden extend renter's rights despite the Supreme Court rejecting his authority to do so. She along with Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made a spectacle of staying outside in sleeping bags eating Fritos and Oreos. Once Biden made an executive order to grant some authority, they left and U.S. Capitol Police told their supporters to clear the area. She was on CBS News basically defending her $200,000 a month private security. The lawmaker said "defund the police" and endorsed washed up politician Nina Turner.
Bush wants to be an activist not a legislator. It is time to send her back to the frontlines.
She can do more work protesting. It does not work for her as a lawmaker.
Full Frontal is cancelled. At a crucial time, WarnerMedia cuts Samantha Bee.
TBS has announced the cancellation of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
With seven seasons of the show, the network has decided to not renew it for season eight.
Samantha Bee, a comedian, former contributor and writer for The Daily Show hosted the late night show. The move appears to be a WarnerMedia Discovery move to reduce costs.
“As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we’ve made some difficult, business-based decisions. ‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee′ will not return to TBS,” network representatives said in a statement. “We are proud to have been the home to ‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee’ and thank Sam, and the rest of the Emmy-nominated team for their groundbreaking work. We celebrate this extraordinarily talented cast and crew and look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them in the future.”
To our loyal fans - we love you, you’re very special. Go home, and go home in peace.
— Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (@FullFrontalSamB) July 25, 2022
Full Frontal is leaving TBS to go spend more time with her family.
— Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (@FullFrontalSamB) July 25, 2022
I feel a powerful love for all the wonderful people behind this incredible show… https://t.co/0N2t07gCoY
I will only imagine that Bee will hammer the network for being "cost efficient."
"After 7 seasons, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not be returning to TBS this fall," the show announced Monday on its official Twitter account. "We're so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week—that there wasn't wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of 'Big Bang.'"
"To our loyal fans - we love you, you're very special. Go home, and go home in peace," the show's statement continued.
During its run, "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" was nominated four times in the best variety talk series Emmy category. One of the show's specials, "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee Presents Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner," earned an Emmy for outstanding writing for a variety special in 2017.
Bee has been on the forefront of taking on Washed Up 45, the Supreme Court, sexism, racism, the Republicans and sheer stupidity in America.
Asked about the reason for the cancellation, a TBS spokesperson told CNN: "As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we've made some difficult, business-based decisions."
"We are proud to have been the home to 'Full Frontal with Samantha Bee' and thank Sam, and the rest of the Emmy-nominated team for their groundbreaking work," the statement continued. "We celebrate this extraordinarily talented cast and crew and look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them in the future."
Not one to leave anything on a sour note, the show's Twitter account for the show joked: "'Full Frontal' is leaving TBS to go spend more time with her family."
Her show leaves a huge gap for women in comedy.
Being the only woman on cable to host a late night comedy show, it was a huge success to have Samantha Bee.
Iconic British actor who starred in movies, television and animation passed away at the age of 80.
David Warner, who had roles in Titanic, The Omen, Tron and Time Bandits passed away from a cancer-related illness. I best known him as the voice as Ra's al Ghu, an arch enemy in DCAU, Batman The Animated Series, Batman Beyond and Superman The Animated Series.
David was born in 1941 in Manchester, Lancashire, the son of Ada Doreen Hattersley and Herbert Simon Warner, a nursing home proprietor. He was born out of wedlock and frequently taken to be brought up by each of his parents, eventually settling with his Russian Jewish father and his stepmother.
David was an English actor, who worked in film, television, and theatre. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and after making his stage debut in 1962 he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) with whom he played Henry VI in The Wars of the Roses cycle at the West End's Aldwych Theatre in 1964 before the RSC cast him as Prince Hamlet in Peter Hall's 1965 production of Hamlet. He attained prominence on screen in 1966 through his lead performance in the Karel Reisz film Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment, for which he was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
He graduated from RADA in 1961.
He voiced numerous characters on television. Some of the most notable besides Batman The Animated Series include:
Masada, Men In Black: The Animated Series, Freakazoid!, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Ripper Street and Mary Poppins Returns.
The actor died of a cancer-related illness on Sunday in London, his family told the BBC. “Over the past 18 months he approached his diagnosis with a characteristic grace and dignity,” his family said in a statement shared with the BBC.
“He will be missed hugely by us, his family and friends, and remembered as a kind-hearted, generous and compassionate man, partner and father, whose legacy of extraordinary work has touched the lives of so many over the years. We are heartbroken,” the statement continued.
Let's go down the list of many deadly encounters for police and first responders.
1, Routine traffic stop. 2. Answering a domestic violence or a mentally ill call. 3. Animal (cat, dog, coyote, bear or rabid animal attack). 4. Water rescue (ice, high water or flash flooding). 5. Mass shooting. 6. Friendly fire. 7. Traffic control. 8. High speed pursuits. 9. Exposure to biohazards/pathogens (HIV, STDs, food, blood, vomit or COVID-19). 10. Swatting (including making false statements, hostage negotiations and criminal damaging). 11. Weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires and blizzards). 12. Stress (suicide, domestic issues at home, alcohol abuse, corruption, racism or harassment).
Clark County Sheriff's office confirm Matthew Yates, a 15-year deputy was killed on Sunday after a confrontation with a terrorist in a Springfield, Ohio trailer park. From what I am gathering the shooter was possibly a woman.
Blame Game expected.
The incident has gotten national attention because the deputy was African American and the incident comes days after a series police-involved shootings in Cincinnati, Marysville, Springboro and Akron.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen DeWine, Sen. Karen Portman (R-OH), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and the Ohio U.S. Representatives were notified.
DeWine ordered flags to be lowered. Of course, thoughts and prayers.
The incident at the Harmony Estates trailer park in Harmony Township. The deputy was responding to a call of shots fired on Sunday. As he approached a mobile home, the terrorists ambushed him. He was shot and seriously. He ended up dying at a local hospital in Dayton.
The terrorists then held up the law for hours. During the hold up, he shot another deputy.
The other deputy did survive his injuries. The Clark County sheriff, Deborah K. Burchett confirmed that Yates died during surgery.
The trailer then caught fire and the terrorists was killed in the fire. The Dayton Police SWAT and bomb squad did not find any deadly explosives during the standoff. The Springfield Police, Clark County sheriff's office had said that Yates had a "heart of gold."
The deputy is the latest to be killed in Clark County. Suzanne Hopper was gunned down in a trailer park in Enon, Ohio by a terrorist. She and another responding deputy were ambushed by a terrorist. It happened at the Enon Beach Campgrounds and the terrorist was killed. It happened on Jan. 1, 2011.
Burchett provided further details in a prepared statement late Sunday. She said deputies responded to the Harmony Estates Mobile Home Park after a 911 call reporting that an unknown female broke into the residence and fired five to six shots.
When deputies arrived, they attempted to check inside the mobile home and were met by gunfire. Yates was struck and went down inside the home.
Clark County Special Operations, of which Yates was a member, and several other tactical teams were called in to rescue the deputy. He was taken by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Large police presence.
“Please keep the Yates family in your thoughts and prayers,” wrote Burchett in the statement.
Rep. Karen Davidson (R-OH) who represents a district between Cincinnati and Dayton that includes all of Butler County and half of Hamilton County, tweeted out his condolences to Yates’ friends and family.
“My condolences and deepest sympathies for the friends and family of Clark County Deputy Matthew Yates, 15-year veteran of the force, who was killed by gunfire today. Thank you to all our law enforcement who risk everything to keep our communities safe,” he wrote.
Democratic gubernatorial nominee Nan Whaley also tweeted, “My heart goes out to the loved ones of Clark County Sheriff’s Deputy Matthew Yates who was killed tonight in the line of duty.”
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the incident.
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.

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.
Man barely survived a snake attack. A python wrapped its body around his neck.
Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.
Pennsylvania man decided to get him a pet python. He decided to treat his new pet like it was part of the family. Oh, how stupid of him.
Police had to kill the reptile after it decided to treat his owner like a dinner. The animal wrapped its body around the neck and tried to suffocate him. The snake was 15-feet long and it was doing what it was supposed to do, eat a prey.
This happened Wednesday in Upper Macungie Township, about an hour north of Philadelphia.
Police were called to the home of a 28-year-old man in cardiac arrest.
The man was lying on the floor unconscious.
Officers say the snake's midsection was wrapped around the man's throat, but that the snake's head was just far enough away from the man for a safe shot.
That shot caused the snake to loosen its grip. It slithered away before it died.
Neighbors say they often see the man either holding the snake outside of his house or through windows in the house.
It's not clear what type of snake it was or why it attacked the owner.
The man was still alive when he was taken to the hospital. There was no word on his condition Friday morning.
How to survive a non venomous snake attack. If the reptile does wrap around your body, you must grab the tail of the snake and try to grip it before it catches your neck. If it catches the neck, it will try to use its muscles to restrict a victim's breathing.
Non venomous snakes do bite. It carries bacteria inside its mouth.
These animals are extremely difficult to release without a secondary person. It would be extremely wise to never leave children or animals near boa constrictors, pythons and venomous snakes.
Cops had to kill the snake.
Also, please understand this.
What to do if you are bitten by a pit viper.
1. Do not panic. It drives up the heart rate.
2. Do not suck out the venom.
3. Apply ice to the wound.
4. Make sure you keep a phone on you to contact 9-1-1.
5. Get anti-venom as soon as possible.
If you are within a snake's path. In the case of a rattlesnake, remain calm.
1. Back away from the snake if you hear the rattling of its tail.
2. Carry a shovel or a bottle of rubbing alcohol in case of defending yourself.
3. If you decapitate a pit viper, do not pick up the head. The snake can still bite you.
4. Stay away from pit vipers. Do not approach them.
5. To prevent a bite, stay back 30 feet and give the pit viper its space.
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.
One performed at an event that drew thousands. One failed to perform for hundreds.
Kid Cudi kept his word when he was constantly pelted with trash after he performed at the Rolling Loud festival. He drew a huge crowd. When the trash kept coming, he said he would stop performing. True to his word.
Kid Cudi admits he has mental issues and he does not react well to disruptive behavior of his fans. I give him credit for handling the situation as best as he could.
On the other hand, white rioters destroy a state fair because a Washed Up 45 supporting entertainer skipped the venue.
Note: The junk food media said fans trash venue. If it was a Black venue, a protest or a rap concert, I bet you money, the junk food media call it a riot.
Kid Rock is a washed up celebrity who turned MAGA. He has a trashy Nashville club and he is a raging racist asshole. He was once a rapper now turned country-rock entertainer.
The washed up entertainer was scheduled to perform at the North Dakota State Fair.
Normally, he would perform rain or shine, so I don't get why he would cancel his performance?
The performance was nixed at the last minute, after more than two hours of fans watching Night Ranger perform for the opening act. There was reportedly wind and lightning on the outskirts of town, which had delayed Kid Rock's show.

Fans were captured on video hurling beer cans and bottles toward the stage following news that the event was canceled, upset because it appeared the storm was beginning to clear.
At least one person was apprehended by police. The one fan was tackled after he attempted to climb onto the platform. He was later seen escorted away in handcuffs by police.
Kid Rock released a statement on Twitter after the cancelation expressing his frustration with the evening's circumstances.
"SO PISSED OFF we could not play for a sold out crowd tonight in Minot, ND (because of high winds) - I know it sucks but none of us can control mother nature. Please be safe leaving and take care of each other," he wrote.
There were around 18,000 fans in attendance, according to TMZ.
The North Dakota State Fair said in a statement the performance was canceled over safety concerns and promised to refund ticket holders.
"The Sheriff's Department would like to clarify to tonight's concert fans that the decision to cancel the Kid Rock concert was not made by the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff simply announced the cancellation," the Ward County Sheriff's Department wrote on Facebook. "We did not cancel the show."
To avoid a longer bid, white extremist turns stoolie.
The white nationalist who filmed himself entering the U.S. Capitol and defecating in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office pleas guilty in federal court.
The former internet troll and known extremist Baked Alaska is expected to serve time for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He will face up to a year in federal time out.
He was already on in-house when he left Arizona to travel to Washington, DC to hear the former president instigate an insurrection that led to injuries and death.
He was literally filming himself breaking into the U.S. Capitol, urinating in the House Speaker's office and using the phone to call random nobodies.
Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
The riot left more than 140 police officers injured and disrupted congressional certification of the November 2020 presidential election victory of Democrat Joe Biden over Washed Up 45, who led Republicans in falsely claiming he lost due to widespread fraud and urged supporters to "stop the steal." The attack on the Capitol also led to several deaths.
The misdemeanor offense carries a maximum sentence of six months in prison and a fine up to $5,000. Sentencing was set for Jan. 12. He remains free on personal recognizance.
In his statement, the moron acknowledged egging on other rioters to "come in" and "make yourself at home," as well as livestreaming the event for 27 minutes in real time over the video platform DLive and joining in various chants.
As part of his plea deal with federal prosecutors, the moron agreed to snitch to federal agents still investigating the events of Jan. 6 to interview him and review his social media accounts for statements and postings surrounding that day.
The images and video footage are extremely graphic.
The town of Oakland, Tennessee is on high alert after a viral video of two cops brutally beating a man over a minor traffic offense. On top of that, they used a taser on him, they place a boot on his goddamn neck and used their batons and badly injured the man where he had to be treated at a local hospital.
They also broke down the door of a residence, did not acknowledge themselves as police and slapped a person's phone out their hand as it was recording.
Brandon Calloway allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign and was going over the posted speed limit.
What makes it so frustrating, a Black man is subjected to being shot or beaten by police and white criminals are treated with respect. Only a few occasions, a white suspect is given a concrete sandwich.
The whole ordeal has the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Justice Department involved. Of course, the two cops, one Black and one white are placed in the freezer pending the investigation.
"Looking back on the videos and the pictures, I realized I was really knocked out," said Brandon Calloway in an interview. "It is kind of hard to watch. But it is fulfilling that, to know that it was on video."
Police kick down the door.
Calloway’s attorney, Andre Wharton, says officers with the Oakland Police Department used excessive force when they allegedly beat Calloway with a baton and used a stun gun on him after a July 16 traffic stop.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is investigating the incident at the request of 25th Judicial District Attorney General Mark Davidson, the agency said.
The police refuse to release dash camera and body camera footage because they fear it would spark a backlash.

According to an affidavit acquired by ABC affiliate WATN, officers followed Calloway to his home after he allegedly refused to stop for police.
Officers say they tried to stop Calloway after he allegedly ran a stop sign and was going 12 mph over the speed limit. Calloway was going 32 miles per hour when the speed limit was 20, the affidavit says, according to WATN.
Police say the officers tried to stop Calloway, but he refused to stop and instead drove to his home and ran inside.
The affidavit said police announced themselves at the home, but Calloway ran upstairs. Officers then pulled out their batons and tasers and hit Calloway several times, WATN reports.
Video taken from Calloway’s girlfriend and provided by Wharton to ABC News, captures the incident.
According to the footage, officers follow Calloway inside and can be seen using their batons and stun guns against him as they chase him through the home. Photos following the incident show Calloway’s face covered in blood, as he lays on the ground.
Blood coming from Brandon Calloway's eye.
The footage also shows an officer appearing to step on Calloway's body.
"I’ve got these stitches in my head. I don't know how many stitches I have. I'm not paying attention. I'm just worried about – I have stitches in my head," said Calloway. "My head has really just been hurting constantly. I'll wake up, if it's really sunny out, my head hurts and I’ve got a sharp pain in my eye. I can't focus. I can't focus for like more than like 15 minutes now."
The Oakland Police Department did not immediately respond to ABC News’ requests for comment. The department's chief of police, Chris Earl, told HuffPost that one of the officers involved in the incident has been relieved of duty.
The Oakland mayor's office declined to comment to ABC News.
Calloway is charged with evading arrest, resisting arrest, failing to stop at a stop sign and speeding, according to WATN.
Wharton said this incident is one of many instances of police brutality being seen across the U.S right now, and he hopes the investigation leads to accountability for the officers.
"For Brandon, this dream – if not nightmare – did become a reality," Wharton said. "He experienced abuse and abuse of power and police misconduct. He's yet another example of the long way we have to go as a community into resolving some of these issues."
What was a common sight in the United States is disappearing and folks are starting to worry about the circumstances. Natural pollinators are disappearing.
The monarch butterfly is now placed on the IUCN's endangered species list. It is the migratory subspecies that endangered and it could spell disaster for the world.
Without these pollinators, the food supply could be affected severely.
Known as the milkweed butterfly, monarch butterflies are on the decline in the states.
"It's just a devastating decline," said Stuart Pimm, an ecologist at Duke University who was not involved in the new listing. "This is one of the most recognizable butterflies in the world."
The group estimates that the population of monarch butterflies in North America has declined between 22% and 72% over 10 years, depending on the measurement method.
"What we're worried about is the rate of decline," said Nick Haddad, a conservation biologist at Michigan State University. "It's very easy to imagine how very quickly this butterfly could become even more imperiled."
Haddad, who was not directly involved in the listing, estimates that the population of monarch butterflies he studies in the eastern United States has declined between 85% and 95% since the 1990s.
In North America, millions of monarch butterflies undertake the longest migration of any insect species known to science.
After wintering in the mountains of central Mexico, the butterflies migrate to the north, breeding multiple generations along the way for thousands of miles. The offspring that reach southern Canada then begin the trip back to Mexico at the end of summer.
"It's a true spectacle and incites such awe," said Anna Walker, a conservation biologist at New Mexico BioPark Society, who was involved in determining the new listing.
A smaller group spends winters in coastal California, then disperses in spring and summer across several states west of the Rocky Mountains. This population has seen an even more precipitous decline than the eastern monarchs, although there was a small bounce back last winter.
Emma Pelton of the nonprofit Xerces Society, which monitors the western butterflies, said the butterflies are imperiled by loss of habitat and increased use of herbicides and pesticides for agriculture, as well as climate change.
"There are things people can do to help," she said, including planting milkweed, a plant that the caterpillars depend upon.
Nonmigratory monarch butterflies in Central and South America were not designated as endangered.
The United States has not listed monarch butterflies under the Endangered Species Act, but several environmental groups believe it should be listed.
The international union also announced new estimates for the global population of tigers, which are 40% higher than the most recent estimates from 2015.
The new figures, of between 3,726 and 5,578 wild tigers worldwide, reflect better methods for counting tigers and, potentially, an increase in their overall numbers, said Dale Miquelle, coordinator for the nonprofit Wildlife Conservation Society’s tiger program.
In the past decade, tiger populations have increased in Nepal, northern China and perhaps in India, while tigers have disappeared entirely from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, said Miquelle. They remain designated as endangered.
Steve Bannon today tells Alex Jones that he is one of the greatest political thinkers since the Founding Fathers: “You are one of the great thinkers of this. That’s is very rare. You have to go almost back to the revolutionary generation to see that.” pic.twitter.com/pMrwHf9hNa

After the House of Representatives voted to hold him in contempt for defying the subpoena, the Justice Department in November charged Bannon with two counts of criminal contempt of Congress, setting up the trial.
On his way out of the courtroom after being found guilty on both counts of criminal contempt of Congress, Bannon again blasted members of the Jan. 6 committee for not appearing as witnesses at his trial.
"I only have one disappointment, and that is the gutless members of that show-trial committee, that [Jan. 6] committee, didn't have the guts to come down here and testify," Bannon said.
"We may have lost a battle here today, but we're not going to lose this war," he said. "[The jury] came to their conclusion about what was put on in the in that courtroom. But listen, in the closing argument, the prosecutor missed one very important phrase, right? 'I stand with Trump and the Constitution, and I will never back off that, ever.'"
Bannon's attorney Karen Schoen said that Bannon's defense team will appeal the case, saying, "This is just Round One."
"This is a bulletproof appeal," Schoen said. "Have you ever in another case seen a judge six times in the case [say] that he thinks the standard for willfulness is wrong?"
"You'll see this case reversed on appeal," Schoen said.
Schoen also criticized the prosecution's argument regarding executive privilege.
"They argued to the jury today that when a person gets a subpoena, and executive privilege is invoked, it's for Congress to decide whether the executive privilege is valid and how broad it is," said Schoen. "That's absolutely false."
"When a former president or a current president invokes executive privilege, it's presumptively valid," said Schoen. "It's not for Congress to decide that is not valid."
"All [the prosecution] had to prove was that he didn't show up," Schoen said. "That can't be the standard in a case, especially in a case that holds the potential for a jail sentence."
"The overreaching by the government in this case has been extraordinary on every level," Schoen said. "Shame on this office of the United States Attorney's Office and the Department of Justice for how far it went in this case."
