Justice Department To Indict Dirty Louisville Cops Involved In Breonna Taylor's Death!

U.S. Justice Department to criminally indict dirty cops who killed Breonna Taylor.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland had announced today that the Justice Department has indicted two former and two current Louisville Metro Police officers. They were involved in the 2020 March shooting of Breonna Taylor.

The coonservative Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron failed to bring state charges against these cops. The U.S. had decided that shooting an unarmed civilian on false pretenses is an unlawful act on Breonna's civil rights. 

The charges include civil rights offenses, unlawful conspiracies, unconstitutional use of force and obstruction offenses.

"The federal charges announced today allege that members of a Police Investigations Unit falsified the affidavit used to obtain the search warrant of Ms. Taylor's home and that this act violated federal civil rights laws, and that those violations resulted in Ms. Taylor's death," Garland said in a news conference.

The federal charges against officer Joshua Jaynes, former Louisville detective Kelly Goodlett and officer Kyle Meany allege that they violated Taylor's 4th Amendment rights when they sought a warrant to search Taylor's home while knowing they lacked probable cause, and that they knew their affidavit supporting the contained false and misleading information and omitted other material information, resulting in her death. Goodlett and Jaynes have been charged with conspiracy for allegedly falsifying the affidavit for a search warrant, according to the justice department.

Merrick Garland has indicted cops who killed Breonna Taylor.

Prosecutors allege that Jaynes and Goodlett met in a garage after Taylor's death "where they agreed to tell investigators" looking into the botched raid "a false story."

Charges have also been filed against Brett Hankison a former Louisville Metro Police officer who was involved in the death of Breonna Taylor. Hankison has been charged in a two-count indictment for deprivation of rights under color of law, both of which are civil rights offenses.

Hankison allegedly used unconstitutional excessive force during the raid when he fired 10 shots through a window and sliding glass door in Taylor's home that was covered in blinds and curtains after there was no longer a "lawful objective justifying the use of deadly force."

The Justice Department has had a pattern or practice investigation ongoing into the Louisville Police Department since April 2021. Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke from DOJ's Civil Rights Division told reporters that the separate investigation remains ongoing and that DOJ has a team on the ground still conducting interviews with stakeholders and conducting ride-alongs with police there.

These four will face criminal charges.

Garland said he spoke with Taylor's family earlier Thursday and informed them of the charges.

"We share, but we cannot fully imagine, the grief felt by Breanna Taylor's loved ones and all of those affected by the events of March 13, 2020. Breonna Taylor should be alive today," Garland said during a press conference.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. They could face up to 10 years in federal time out if convicted.

Jackie Walorski Passed Away!

Republican lawmaker dies in a wrong way driver crash.

Indiana lawmaker and two of her staffers died in a car accident on Wednesday.

Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN), 58, Elkhart, Indiana Zachery Potts, 27, Mishawaka, Indiana Emma Thomson, 28, Washington, DC were killed by a wrong way driver. The sole occupant of the northbound vehicle, Edith Schmucker, 56, Nappanee, Indiana was pronounced deceased at the scene."

The investigation into the crash is being conducted by the Elkhart County Coroner's Office and the Elkhart County Sheriff's Office.

Walorski was a far right lawmaker who voted against President Joe Biden's agenda and constantly peddled talking points that painted Democrats as "anti-American."

Of course, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA), the president, Vice President Kamala Harris, members of the House, Sen. Karen Braun (R-IN), Sen. Karen Young (R-IN) and Gov. Karen Holcomb all express their condolences to the Walorski family.

McCarthy and Walorski's staffers wrote on social media a response to the lawmaker's death.

 "Dean Swihart, Jackie’s husband, was just informed by the Elkhart County Sheriff’s office that Jackie was killed in a car accident this afternoon. She has returned home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ," Walorski's office said in a statement. "Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. In addition to the devastating loss of Congresswoman Walorski, it is with a broken heart that I announce the passing of two dedicated members of her staff, Zach Potts and Emma Thomson. They were the epitome of public servants who cared deeply about the work they performed on behalf of the constituents of Indiana’s Second Congressional District." 

Pelosi said that flags will be lowered at the U.S. Capitol to honor the lawmaker.

Walorski died on highway near Nappanee, Indiana.

Walorski, who served on the House Ways and Means Committee, was first elected to represent Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District in 2012. She previously served three terms in the state’s legislature.

She was an election denier. The lawmaker was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Biden defeated Washed up 45. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of an election held by another state.

Now some are saying its "God's will" because of how she treated others. Yeah, folks are trashing Walorski for being against democracy and a feverant supporter of white nationalism. 

I keep thinking how the Republicans and far right agitators act if Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) passed away. They would trash them and be happy to see them gone.

Trust me, no one is immune from hate and disrespect in death.

Black Dems: Unfollow Shaun King, David Hogg And AOC!

It's time to end the partnership with celebrity activists.

We must do everything in our power to protect women's rights, voting rights, LGBTQ rights and democracy. In order to do this, we must vote. We must ignore the noise.

Ignore the noise.

Vote.

Democracy is on the line and Republicans seem posed to reclaim Congress if we just sit it out and allow the noise to drown out the turnout.

It is time to stop following celebrity activism. It is time to stop following David Hogg, Cameron Kasky, Jeffrey Shaun King, Andrew Yang, Marc Lamont Hill, Talbert Swan, Nina Turner, Tariq Nasheed, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Twitter and other platforms. They are trying depress turnout and give credence to Republicans who could win in the Midterms.

Culture wars have become the latest strategy for Republicans. They have scapegoated issues to a base of white nationalists who are ready to vote to "own the libs."

With a razor thin majority in the House and Senate, there are only six seats and one senate flip for the Republicans to control Congress. The moment they get into power, they will pass a ban on abortions, instigate (Christian-fascism) as religious freedom, allow more firearms in the hands of extremists, ban books because it made them upset, make marriage between a man and woman the rule of law and force mandatory voter restrictions on American voters. 

Because of two Democrats in the Senate, legislation stalled or slowly pushed through. If Republicans win back Congress, they will end the filibuster to ram through legislation and impeach President Joe Biden because of conspiracies about Hunter Biden.

David Hogg, the survivor of the Marjory Douglas Stoneman mass shooting in Florida has riled up Democrats. He literally stated that Democrats need to be more aggressive like the Republicans when they took in conservatives, religious zealots and racists.

It appears that many of these folks are doing their best to depress the vote. 

It was also revealed that King had used donor funds to get an expensive dog and training for it.

King tried Tuesday to justify his reported $40,000 purchase of a hulking guard dog as protection from “white supremacists” — but failed to explain why his progressive political action committee picked up the tab.

King also railed against strict gun control laws in New York and New Jersey, insisting they kept him from arming himself to protect his wife and kids from death threats purportedly made by “police, military snipers and white supremacist groups.”

“I have to say some things that I’ve worked hard to keep private for the safety and security of my family,” he began his statement.

It's time for Black America to end this partnership with these agitators. Don't fund them. Don't allow them to be the face of activism in this country.

Some Noise!

The noise prevails.

The noise was interesting during the Arizona, Michigan, Washington and Kansas primaries. 

Two polarizing lawmakers in the Democratic caucus easily beat their primary rivals. Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) survive their primary challenges. They were targeted by more moderate candidates in an attempt to disrupt the Squad. Bush, a lawmaker and activist is best known for her showboating and partisan grandstanding. She defeated Steven Roberts, a state lawmaker embattled with allegations of sexual abuse. He was endorsed by Lacy Clay, Jr., the former lawmaker defeated by Bush.

Tlaib was considered the most vulnerable member of The Squad. She was representing a Black district and she is a Palestinian-American lawmaker who angered many of the pro-Israeli lawmakers because she wants the country held accountable for criminal acts. 

Tlaib beats back other Democratic candidates in the race: Lathrup Village Mayor Kelly Garrett; Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey; and former state House member Shanelle Jackson of Detroit. The Associated Press and other analysts declared Tlaib the Democratic winner. 

Former Missouri governor Karen Greitens isn't RINO as the nominee of the GOP in the open senate race. He was defeated by Missouri Attorney General Karen Schmidt. It was a race between two Erics and Washed Up 45 did not mention which one who would win when he posted an endorsement on his Truth Social. Schmidt will face off Democrat Trudy Busch Valentine, who defeated Marine veteran Lucas Kunce and nine others in the Both also face a challenge from a well-funded independent, John Wood, who has the financial backing of former Sen. John Danforth.

Rep. Karen Meijer (R-MI) is defeated by Black coonservative John Gibbs. Meijer, the son of Hank Meijer, CEO of the Meijer superstores voted to impeach Washed Up 45 had conceded. Gibbs ahead by almost 4,000 votes with more than 88% of the expected ballots counted. 

“This was a hard-fought primary campaign and I want to thank everyone in west Michigan for their support. … I also want to congratulate my opponent, John Gibbs, on his victory tonight,” Meijer said in a statement, according to the Detroit Free Press. 

“I’m proud to have remained true to my principles, even when doing so came at a significant political cost,” he added.

Meijer on Monday called out the House Democrats’ campaign organization for what he called a “naked political gambit” by heavily donating to Gibbs in a transparent attempt to elevate the “weaker Republican candidate ahead of the November midterm elections.”

He said the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spent $435,000 on an ad buy to promote Gibbs in the waning days of the primary — more than Gibbs had raised during his entire campaign and nearly 100 times more than Washed Up 45 contributed via his Save America Super PAC.

One survives and one falls.

Rep. Harley Stevens (D-MI) defeats Rep. Andy Levin (D-MI). Stevens, a staunch supporter of Israel defeats, Levin, the son of a political dynasty and a progressive who is critical of Israeli occupation of Palestinian. Levin is the son of former Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., and a nephew of the late Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. At least one member of the family has served in Congress since 1979 — a run that will come to an end in January.

The rare incumbent-vs.-incumbent primary matchup was the result of a redistricting plan that merged portions of their current districts, with more voters coming from Stevens's current territory.

In an unusual twist, Levin, who is Jewish, was forced to defend his record on Israel-related policies against attacks from supporters of Stevens, who has been more hawkish on the issue despite not being Jewish. A super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent $4.2 million on ads boosting Stevens and hitting Levin, while J Street, a progressive pro-Israel group, paid about $700,000 for ads backing Levin.

Karen Dixon, an election denier won her bid for Michigan governor. Tudor Dixon has come out on top in a crowded primary field and will face incumbent Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the November general election. Whitmer is seeking a second term as governor following a tumultuous few years filled with criticism over her handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which included a slow economic recovery for the state, a large loss of small businesses, and suffering school performance.

Karen Lake has a slim lead the Arizona Republican primary for governor. The former news reporter is a white nationalist. The woman already is promoting conspiracy theories about the primary and even spelled ballots wrong.

Lake had 46.2% of the vote, and Karen Robson had 44.5% in the Republican primary. The two women are seeking to succeed term-limited Gov. Karen Ducey, a Republican.

Lake on Tuesday night predicted in a speech to supporters at a primary election night rally that she is "winning this 100%" and claimed that there's "no path to victory for my opponent. We won this race."

Robson took to Twitter to tell supporters "we feel calm and confident, and we will wait for every vote to be counted!"

Robson was endorsed by former vice president Karen M. Pence and Ducey, while Lake was endorsed by Washed Up 45. The race is too close to call.

Rep. Karen Herrera Beutler (R-WA) voted to impeach Washed Up 45. She ended up defeating her Republican challenger. The longtime Republican lawmaker is facing a strong challenge from Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez who also advanced.

Rep. Karen Newhouse (R-WA) is leading in his own primary as well, having garnered 27% of votes early on, followed by Democrat Doug White at 26%. He also voted to impeach Washed Up 45 as well.

Former news reporter turned white nationalist is vying for Arizona governor.

Kansas was a game changer for women's rights. The state rejected a constitutional ban on abortion. Being a Republican friendly state, the legislature could not outright ban abortion without voter approval. It appears that many in the state rather let the individual and her doctor handle the matter. The Kansas ballot initiative is seen as a bellwether for the impact of abortion on the midterm November elections. 

Since the Supreme Court's controversial ruling ending the federal right to an abortion, at least 12 states have either banned abortion outright or after six weeks of pregnancy. Other states are also expected to move forward with further restrictions.

In Kansas, voters reaffirmed abortion is constitutionally protected, leaving in place a 2019 decision by the state Supreme Court. That ruling stated that a person has the right to personal autonomy and applied strict scrutiny to regulating abortion. The Kansas legislature would not be able to ban or enact further restrictions on abortion without a constitutional amendment.

The Woman Lead Emmett Till To His Death Is On Her Last Days!

Who took out the trash?

The woman who accused Emmett Till of hitting on her which led to her husband and his half-brother lynching him is seen for the first time in over 20 years.

88-year old Carolyn Bryant Donham is seen. She is living in a small apartment with her son in Kentucky. In her dying days, this woman claims she was the victim.

The Daily Mail has found the location of the original Karen. So expect protests.

The woman's name came back into the news when Mississippi officials unearthed a warrant for her arrest.

They were initially going to criminally charge her and those two for criminal murder but withheld the charges due to the state's racist legislature likely ruling that it self-defense.

Now legally blind, suffering from terminal cancer and is in hospice care was photographed by The Daily Mail walking her dog and her son Thomas was seen for the first time.

Then 21-years old, the woman claimed that Emmett whistled at her while she was maintain the cash register at her general store in Money, Mississippi. The woman told her then husband, Roy Bryant and his brother John Milam about it. They went into the town to search for Emmett. They dragged him out his bed, beat him severely, shot him multiple times, gouged his eyes out, mutilated his face and then tied it to a cotton gin and threw his body into the Tallahatchie River.

It was soon discovered by authorities. Mamie Till, the mother of Emmett was angry. She said that those killers should be criminally charged for her son's death. They were arrested and charged. But only a few hours in a courtroom with an all-white jury, acquitted the two and they walked.

So Mamie was allowed to take the body to Chicago. She held an open casket funeral in which it showed the body. The body was so messed up and disfigured. A photographer for Jet Magazine asked it he could take the picture. She allowed it. Soon it was published to the publication and it went viral.

It sparked the Civil Rights Movement. 

The two men would later move on with their lives. They ended up making money off their accusations.

They ended up dying without being charged by the feds. Mamie would end up dying in 2003 without ever getting an apology or even justice.

This woman lived her fucking life without a care in the world.

Just three weeks ago, crowds of angry protesters descended on three addresses in Raleigh, North Carolina in which they mistakenly believed her to be living.

Chanting black power slogans, they gathered outside two residential addresses and even stormed a nursing facility, unaware that she left the town and the state some months earlier.

No justice for Emmett Till. The protesters will find Carolyn Bryant Donham.

Their actions were spurred on by the discovery of an unserved warrant for Donham's arrest. 

It was found by a five-person search team led by Till's cousin Deborah Watts and her daughter Terri along with members from the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation.

They discovered the document inside a file folder that had been stored in a box in the basement of LeFlore County Circuit Court in Greenwood, Mississippi. Donham was identified only as "Mrs. Roy Bryant."

Watts said that when they found the warrant, she and her daughter, "cried and hugged each other."

"Justice," she said, "Has to be done."

Issued on August 29, 1955, the warrant was based on the Sheriff's belief that Donham played a part in the kidnapping of Till, that she drove around the town of Money, Mississippi seeking him out and ultimately identified the terrified teen when he was brought to her on the night of Sunday August 28 that year, dragged from his bed, to be tortured and murdered by Donham's husband Roy and half-brother, John Milam.

A police note on the back of the warrant says that she wasn't arrested because she was not in the county. 

Yet a local sheriff told reporters at the time that he didn't want to "other" her since she had two little boys to care for.

Law enforcement have not said if they plan to "bother" the woman who is now living out her final days in relative seclusion many miles away, but the smart money says it is unlikely despite the Till family's calls for her arrest.

Instead, she lives out her days visited by caregivers, hospice nurses, and a chaplain whom DailyMail.com observed carrying a bible as he entered Donham's home.

Pat Carroll Passed Away!

Pat Carroll passed away from natural causes.

An iconic actress who played Ursula in Disney's "Little Mermaid" film passed away. the Emmy-winning actress best known as the voice of the villainous sea witch has died at the age of 95.

Carroll's daughter, Kerry Karsian, told the Hollywood Reporter that her mother died from pneumonia at her home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts on Saturday.

Carroll's other daughter, Tara Karsian, paid tribute to the star in an Instagram post on Sunday, asking fans to "honor her by having a raucous laugh at absolutely anything today (and everyday forward) because besides her brilliant talent and love, she leaves my sister Kerry and I with the greatest gift of all, imbuing us with humor and the ability to laugh...even in the saddest of times."

Born in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1927, Carroll landed her first major role in the 1948 film "Hometown Girl."

Over the next seven decades, she went on to appear in TV shows including "The Danny Thomas Show," "The Red Skelton Show," "Busting Loose" and "ER," and she also guest-starred on "The DuPont Show" with June Allyson.

In 1956, she was awarded an Emmy for her work on Sid Caesar's sketch comedy series "Caesar's Hour."

In 1981, she won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word, Documentary or Drama for the recording of her one-woman show "Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein."

Carroll landed her first voiceover gig in 1966, for the animated television series "The Super 6." In 1988, she voiced the role of Granny in the English version of the Japanese classic animation "My Neighbor Totoro." But it was her performance a year later as one of Disney's most memorable villains, in "The Little Mermaid," that catapulted her to international fame. She also provided the vocals for the sea witches' signature song, "Poor Unfortunate Souls."

She later described the character of Ursula as one of her favorites and reprised the role in several "Little Mermaid" sequels, spinoffs, videogames and even theme park rides.

"My desire before I kicked the bucket was to do a Disney film," Carroll told "The Complete Pioneers of Television Interview" earlier this year.

She added that she was "so thrilled" when she got a call from Disney to play the role a year after auditioning six times and prepared by pretending that Ursula was an ex-Shakespearean actress who sold used cars.

"I've never enjoyed anything so much in my life and I'm still getting fan mail from children around the world."

Sexual Predator Rapper Busted Again!

Sexual predator arrested again.

I will mention his name once. 

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. On top of that, he is a TIER III in Louisiana and this offensive could put him in the iron college for LIFE if convicted. 

Boy, this is pretty much a wrap for the rapper Michael "Mystikal" Tyler.

Once I was banging his rapid flow albums. He was once part of No Limit Records. He left the label and joined the Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo team to hit us with with bangers like Danger, and Shake Ya Ass (Fast) on the radio. He charted five albums under Jive Records 

The 51-year old rapper is facing first-degree rape, false imprisonment, criminal damaging, robbery and battery charges. The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Department arrested the sexual predator and the judge has him held without any "get out free card."

The victim told the sheriff's department that she was at the home of the sexual predator and she suffered minor injuries. After an investigation, the deputies identified this sexual predator as the suspect.

The sexual predator has a history. At the peak of his fifth (and possibly last) album, the sexual predator was arrested for sexual assault on a hairstylist. He claimed he was extorted by the victim. So instead of calling the law and reporting it, he made the victim take a hose. The victim reported to the law and he was arrested. He was convicted of the charges and spent six years in the iron college.

Once out, he was told to register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life. 

Since then he had another allegation on him. But the charges were dropped.

He was arrested on numerous other minor offenses.

Ayman al-Zawahiri Passed Away!

Al Qaeda leader killed.

President Joe Biden announced today, the CIA has carried out a drone strike and it killed the relusive al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The former Egyptian doctor who was Osama bin Laden's most trusted ally was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan.

World leaders, Congress and the United Nations were notified of the strike. 

For the far right and Republicans, they will probably give credit to Washed Up 45 and George W. Bush. They will pivot to something to blame Biden or not mention it at all. To the rest of the world, Biden may have secured a second term. This is what competent leadership is like in America. Biden stated that there were no civilian causalities.

There were no photo ops on grandeur from Biden.

He still has mild symptoms of the coronavirus. But even with that, the president still can get the fucking job done.

The chief planner of the Sept. 11 attacks, al-Zawahiri was key to helping the 19 men execute their plan to attack the U.S. in 2001.

U.S. intelligence officials tracked al-Zawahri to a home in downtown Kabul where he was hiding out with his family. The president approved the operation last week and it was carried out Sunday.

Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, in operation carried out by U.S. Navy SEALs after a nearly decade-long hunt.

As for Al-Zawahri, Biden said, “He will never again, never again, allow Afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven because he is gone and we’re going to make sure that nothing else happens.”

“This terrorist leader is no more,” he added.

The operation is a significant counterterrorism win for the Biden administration just 11 months after American troops left the country after a two-decade war.

Did Washed Up 45 Bury Ivana On The Links?

Ivana Trump buried on a golf course.

The former president allegedly had his first wife buried on a plot of land at his Bedminster golf course. It is true.

The ex-wife of the former president is literally buried at his golf course.

Ivana Trump passed away in July. Trump died of blunt impact injuries to the torso after falling down stairs at her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Her ex-husband Washed Up 45 and their three children, alongside a number of politicians and celebrities, posted condolences on social media. Her funeral was held on July 20 at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, a Roman Catholic church near her home. 

Ivana was buried at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey.


It appears to be a move to make his Bedminster golf course a "tax exempt" now that it is a cemetery. I can only imagine that the former president will be buried either at Arlington National Cemetery or Mar-a-Lago. 

A NPR story stated that the former president had wanted his burial plot on a golf course.

Ivana's coffin was draped in purple cloth and topped with a golden cross, Insider previously reported. 

Washed Up 45 previously stated his intentions to build a "10 plot private family cemetery" at his golf club in Bedminster, the Washington Post previously reported.

The LIV tournament carried forth despite the controversy.

"Mr. Trump is the owner of many properties around the world but specifically chose this property for his final resting place as it is his favorite property and he admires the culture and the character of the Township," said a 2014 filing cited by the Washington Post. 

The former president, his youngest son, his eldest son with his fiance, a Fox agitator and a do nothing lawmaker were at the LIV Golf Classic in Bedminster.

The former president and his children carry on like it was nothing.

Tim Ryan: I'm Good!

Tim Ryan trying to get ahead of the noise.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) has rejected endorsements from some of his Democratic colleagues. In this bid to win the open senate seat, Ryan said that he does not need the endorsements of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) are the so-called Squad.

They have caused havoc since President Joe Biden got into office. All six of them have voted against the bipartisan infrastructure law. Because of that, they invited primary challenges. Bush and Tlaib face the possibility of being defeated in their Democratic primaries.

Ryan who is considered a moderate basically want President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the Squad, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to stay out of Ohio.

Ryan doesn't favor abortion but supports a woman's right to choose her own medical decisions. He basically is saying that he doesn't want government regulations over health care. 

Ryan is basically the blue collar type of Democrat who could become a Republican if the party allows Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez continue their march to move the party more the left.

Many of these Democrats are also being boxed with the question on whether Biden should run in 2024.

Of course, they often deflect. It sickens me that Democrats "cave to the noise" of those in the junk food media. I am fed up with them being on the defensive. I would love to go on the offensive and start pissing off Republicans. I mean every criticism towards Democrats involve leftists, other Democrats and far right agitators.

Vance is still hanging around.

I would say, that the president is allowed to run for a second term and if he's our nominee, I will back him. I would ask you would my opponent support the former president despite his constant lies and threats to democracy?

Ryan endorsed Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) in her bid to secure a full term as a lawmaker against Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders' backed candidate Nina Turner. Brown ran on being close to Biden. 

Ryan is highlighting that Ohio is trending towards Republicans and he vows to not be a raging leftist. He also acknowledged that he supported some of Washed Up 45's policies.

He is going against Republican Moron Vance, a hedge fund investor endorsed by the former president. 

Vance called the former president a moron and said that he is a threat to democracy.

Washed Up 45's endorsement of Vance kind of pissed off Karen Gibbons, Karen Mandel and Karen Timken. They were far more supportive of the former president than Vance and it kind of deflates the Republicans. Vance, Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker are well-known celebrities who decided to run for office.

I have the race as LEAN REPUBLICAN.

Ignore the noise.

Vote.

Bill Russell Passed Away!

Bill Russell, the iconic player of the Boston Celtics and civil rights activist passed away.

An iconic basketball star and activist passed at the age of 88.

Russell's wife, Jeannine, was by his side at the time of his death, the statement said. His family thanked fans for "keeping Bill in your prayers."

"Perhaps you'll relive one or two of the golden moments he gave us, or recall his trademark laugh as he delighted in explaining the real story behind how those moments unfolded," the statement said. "And we hope each of us can find a new way to act or speak up in Bill's uncompromising, dignified, and always constructive commitment to principle."

Russell was married four times, to Rose Swisher, 1968 Miss USA Dorothy “Didi” Anstett, Marilyn Nault and Jeannine Russell.

Nault died in 2009, and Swisher died in 2014.

Russell and Swisher had three children, daughter Karen and sons William Jr. and Jacob. William Felton Russell Jr. was 58 when he died from cancer in 2016.

Bill Russell passed away. The tributes are pouring in from celebrities, politicians and the NBA. The 44th President of the United States had remarked on the passing.

Former president Barack Obama tweets that "Bill endured insults and vandalism, but never let it stop him from speaking up for what’s right. I learned so much from the way he played, the way he coached, and the way he lived his life."

Bill was born William Felton Russell in 1934. He was an American basketball player, activist and motivational speaker. He played as a center for the Boston Celtics. He played from 1956 to 1969.

He was a five time NBA Most Valuable Player and a 12-time NBA All-Star. He has helped the Celtics win 11 NBA Championships during his 13 year career.

He also had a coaching gig at the University of San Francisco. He played for the Men's basketball team the Dons and helped them win championships in 1955 and 1956.

Bill with Kobe Bryant during his final game as a Los Angeles Laker.

He was a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient in 2011. His jersey No. 6 is officially retired by the Celtics. He was coach for the Celtics from 1966 until 1969, the Seattle Supersonics from 1973 until 1977 and the Sacramento Kings from 1987 until 1988.

Russell was regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He was a towering man standing at 6'10'' with a 7'4'' arm span. He was best for shot blocking and man-to-man defense. 

He is rivaled by Henri “Pocket Rocket” Richard, who hoisted the Stanley Cup 11 times with the Montreal Canadiens, and Yogi Berra, a member of 10 World Series-winning New York Yankees teams.

No modern players hold a candle to Russell’s accomplishments. The award for the most valuable player of the NBA Finals is named after him.

Bill played with the pioneers like Sweetwater Clifton, Earl Lloyd and Chuck Cooper.

Former president Barack Obama honored Bill with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called Russell the "greatest champion in all of team sports" in a tribute recounting the player's career. Silver said that he cherished his personal friendship with Russell while offering condolences.

"Bill stood for something much bigger than sports: the values of equality, respect and inclusion that he stamped into the DNA of our league," Silver said. "At the height of his athletic career, Bill advocated vigorously for civil rights and social justice, a legacy he passed down to generations of NBA players who followed in his footsteps.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith tweeted a tribute to Russell Sunday, saying that the center made the world "better for us all."

"My deepest condolences to the family, loved ones and the @NBA community on the loss of the greatest champion we’ve ever known: BILL RUSSELL," Smith wrote. "An activist, a pioneer, a humanitarian."

Retired player "Magic" Johnson, whose legal name is Earvin Johnson Jr., called Russell his idol.

"I looked up to him on the court and off," Johnson said. "His success on the court was undeniable; he was dominate and great, winning 11 NBA championships. Off the court, Bill Russell paved the way for guys like me."

Nichelle Nichols Passed Away!

Nichelle Nichols passed away at the age of 89.

A legendary actress who starred in the sci-fi drama Star Trek passed away at the age of 89.

Nichelle Nichols had died of natural causes. 

Her son, Kyle Johnson confirmed on social media that his mother had passed away after succumbing to natural causes. 

"I regret to inform you that a great light in the firmament no longer shines for us as it has for so many years," he posted on Nichols official Facebook page.

Nichelle Nichols played Uhura on Star Trek.

Nichelle played Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek: The Original Series and it was groundbreaking for an African American woman to be on American television. An attractive Black woman in go go boots and mini skirt was instant attraction for male viewers. No doubt.

Born Grace Dell Nichols, Nichelle was the third of six children in 1932 in Robbins, Illinois. 

After graduating Englewood High School in 1951, Nichelle took an interest in acting. She had her break through the 1961 Kicks and Co., an Oscar Brown musical that didn't fare well but is remarkable.

She would end up doing a thinly satire of a Playboy model named Hazel Sharpe, a voluptuous campus queen who was tempted by the devil and Orgy Magazine to be the "Maiden of the Month."

Hugh Hefner saw interest in her and invited her to the Playboy Club Chicago. She also played in productions of Carmen Jones and Porgy and Bess.

Her beauty and style graced the cover of Ebony Magazine in 1967 and it led to television roles and then of course, Star Trek.

At first, she found the series distasteful. She felt that she was reducing her Broadway role for a "damsel in distress" type of role. She was encouraged by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to stay on the show and continue. She felt that being a Trekkie was a good thing for Black children. It also inspired African Americans to get into space.

Mae Jemison said that Nichelle gave her inspiration to become a NASA astronaut.

Nichelle also had did the iconic kiss with William Shatner which broke ground in interracial relationships.

Nichelle also continued on acting throughout her time once Star Trek was cancelled. She appeared in the Isaac Hayes' movie Truck Turner in which she played Dorinda, a madam of a prostitution brothel rivaling against lethal large scale pimp Harvard Blue played by Yaphet Kotto.  

Former President Barack Obama gave the Vulcan salute with Nichelle.

She had reprised her role in Star Trek in the feature films opposite Shatner, George Takei and Leonard Nimoy. The sequels, The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, The Final Frontier and Undiscovered Country were also released with her playing her role as Uhura.

She also voiced on Disney's Gargoyles as Diana Maza, the mother of NYPD detective Elisa Maza. 

Nichelle was not the only voice on the show who had ties to Star Trek. Some of the voices were on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. There were Marina Sirtis (TNG), Jonathan Frakes (TNG), Michael Dorn (TNG), Kate Mulgrew (Voyager), Brent Spiner (TNG), Avery Brooks (DS9), Colm Meaney (TNG) and LeVar Burton (TNG).

She also had guest voice roles on The Simpsons, Futurama and Batman: The Animated Series.

She had a recurring role on the cult action drama Heroes. 

Nichelle also had a singing career. She released two albums. Down to Earth and Out of This World.

Nichelle was a honorary member of NASA. She was recruited as an influencer. She was part of the Women in Motion program which gave inspiration to Christa McAuliffe, Ronald McNair and Judith Resnick, the astronauts who died in the 1986 Challenger explosion.

Nichelle continued acting until 2020. She had suffered a mild stroke in 2015. 

Nichelle leaves behind her son, actor Kyle Johnson. She was married to Foster Johnson and Duke Mondy. She a relationship with Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek during the show's run.

She broke it off with Roddenberry after she found out he was dating Majel Barrett, whom he later married.
