The GOP Think Posing With Guns Makes Them Tough!

They think posing with firearms makes them tough.

President Joe Biden's headaches:

1. The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
2. Gun violence and Congress not doing anything to stop it.
3. Inflation.
4. Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a democratic socialist.
5. The members of The Squad and Progressive Caucus.
6. The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
7. Anti-vaxxers. 
8. Lawmakers and activists who protest the CDC guidelines during the pandemic.
9. The endless culture wars that Republicans and media agitators find outrage in.
10. Washed Up 45 and his minions on Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the internet.
11. Facebook and TikTok along with the idiots who run it plus the idiots who post on it.
12. Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and OANN's relentless talk about conspiracies, Hunter Biden and the president's mental capacity and health.
13. The endless racism towards Biden's allies, Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Barack Obama.
14. The relentless talk about spending despite the former president's reckless spending and policies that driven debt to all time highs.
15. The lack of civility towards fellow Americans.

As we are posting, it is reported that Americans are evenly split on which party should maintain power of Congress. 

It is a clear choice: culture wars and fascism vs. civil rights and democracy.

Republicans head to CPAC Texas for another strategic meeting of the misfits. A white nationalist convention with a handful of tokens who are willing to sell out their own race for the cock of a white nationalist.

Note: Many of those in the photo are freshmen members of Congress. They all have no legislative accomplishments whatsoever. 

Rep. Coonron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Karen Van Duyne (R-TX), Rep. Karen Jackson (R-TX), Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO) and Salem Radio Network's far right darling Karen Loesch pose with their mighty firearms.

All headed to Texas to own the libs.

Washed Up 45 and the circus of far right extremists head to Texas to bash President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY), RINOs, the junk food media, inflation, Russia, drag queens, critical race theory, woke, Lincoln and word vomits of freedom and patriotism.

Given that we have daily shootings everyday and the average day of people killed by firearms is now 167 people a day, somehow Republicans think the solution to guns is pose and show off.

It is part of the culture wars the Republican Party's embracing. They rather keep the focus on issues that drives their voters out.  They are literally voting against bills that solve problems. They won't vote on bills dealing with inflation, gas prices, funding Ukraine in its fight against Russia, price gouging, infrastructure and trade. They want chaos 

The most recent culture wars.

1. Cancelling Pepe Le Pew, Dr. Seuss, old Disney, old Warner Bros., Muppets and MGM movies.

2. Critical race theory.

3. Transgender girls and women playing sports and using restrooms.

4. Antifa and Black Lives Matter protests.

5. Immigrants at the U.S.-Mexican border.

6. Drag queens reading to children.

7. Abortion.

8. Prayer.

9. Vaccines. 

10. Woke.

11. Biden's health, Hunter Biden, teleprompters, cue cards, gaffes and stuttering.

12. Posing or showing off firearms.

Republicans barely supported the bipartisan gun law that was passed in 2022. Only 11 senators out of 50. They forced a watered down bill to focus on "mental illness" instead of banning high capacity firearms. They continue to back out of the gun reform legislation proposals because it would inflame their white nationalist base. The Republicans are trying to move on from Uvalde and Buffalo. Since the news is back on the economy, they figured that its time to move on. 

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. 

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.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

Inflation Reduction Act Passed In The Senate!

One more road to cross.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is celebrating the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act through a budget reconciliation with 50 senators and Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie. The bill will now head to the U.S. House where it will likely pass and soon head to President Joe Biden for signature.

It took months of secret negotiations with Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) to get this legislation passed. Schumer is literally crying tears of joy after over 18 hours of voting of amendments to the $750 billion package.

It is a big win for Democrats and it could motivate their voters. The Republicans will be motivated as well. They will keep the culture wars going and keep screaming how Democrats are responsible for everything in the world.

"It's been a long, tough and winding road but at last, at last, we have arrived," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor as members prepared to vote for final passage. "Today, after more than a year of hard work, the Senate is making history. I am confident the Inflation Reduction Act will endure as one of the defining legislative feats of the 21st century."

This bill will lower inflation, lower drug costs, address climate change and raise taxes on the wealthy.

One thing that did not get through was an insulin cap. The part was rejected because Republicans fumed at the bill. Only 7 Republicans voted to at least address it. The 43 Karens decided that if you have diabetes, you do not deserve affordable insulin.

Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie breaking vote.

Biden praised Senate Democrats for passing the plan and acknowledged it required "many compromises." He urged the House to swiftly approve the bill.

"Today, Senate Democrats sided with American families over special interests, voting to lower the cost of prescription drugs, health insurance, and everyday energy costs and reduce the deficit, while making the wealthiest corporations finally pay their fair share," the president said in a statement. "I ran for president promising to make government work for working families again, and that is what this bill does — period."

The package is the culmination of months of negotiations over Mr. Biden's domestic policy agenda, which at times appeared to be on life support but was revived late last month with the surprise announcement of an agreement between Schumer and Manchin, the moderate Democrat from West Virginia.

While the legislation is much more narrow than the sprawling $3.5 trillion proposal put forth by Biden last year, the tailored package had the backing of Manchin and Sinema, a Democrat from Arizona whose support was crucial. 

Democrats praise the plan as their answer to addressing rising consumer prices and for its nearly $400 billion investment in fighting climate change, the largest ever. The package allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, a key Democratic priority that is expected to save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 10 years. It also extends enhanced health insurance subsidies that were set to expire at the end of the year, and imposes a 15% minimum tax on most corporations that make more than $1 billion each year. 

The corporate tax provision emerged as a point of contention as senators neared a final vote on Sunday. Seven Democratic senators — Sinema, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, Catherine Cortez Masto, Maggie Hassan, Mark Kelly and Jacky Rosen — joined Republicans in backing an amendment put forward by GOP Sen. Karen Thune of South Dakota that exempts some firms with private equity backing from the 15% minimum corporate tax rate. That amendment passed 57 to 43.

To boost clean energy, the measure includes tax credits for buying electric vehicles and manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines. It also provides rebates for consumers who buy energy efficient appliances and provides $4 billion for drought relief.

Schumer lauded the bill as the "boldest climate package" in U.S. history, and called it a "game-changer" and "turning point."

"It's been a long time in coming," he said.

One piece of Democrats' drug-pricing plan — imposing penalties on drug manufacturers that raised prices beyond inflation on private insurers — was removed after it was reviewed by Senate parliamentarian Elizbeth MacDonough. Her approval of the rest of the package, however, cleared the way for the upper chamber to move forward with its consideration of the bill.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the legislation will cut the deficit by $102 billion over the next 10 years. Republicans, though, argued the plan will have little impact on inflation and instead raise taxes while leading to jobs losses.

Overnight Bloodshed: Mass Shooting In Cincinnati!

More gun violence in the U.S. cities. This time in Cincinnati, Ohio.

There was a mass shooting again and again and again. There are nearly 500 mass shootings in the United States.

Mass shootings were in:

Oklahoma City

Detroit

Dayton

Norfolk

Milwaukee

The latest is in Cincinnati. There was a mass shooting outside a bar in Over-the-Rhine, a historical and entertainment district near downtown Cincinnati. The shooting left nine injured. Most of the injuries are not life threatening.

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.

A slide is left in the street after a person fled a shooting.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen DeWine, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Karen Portman (R-OH) and the Ohio U.S. Representatives were informed about the mass shooting.

Mayor Aftab Pureval condemned the shooting and called for more action to stop gun violence. The Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, a watered down legislation that kept assault weapons out of the law. This has been the only gun reform since the 1994 Federal Assault Weapon ban. 

"My heart goes out to the victims and their families and i thank god there were no fatalities last night and that's because our police officers responded with heroic and immediate action," Pureval said.

Police said officers used flash bangs for crowd control in the aftermath of the shooting.

“Today’s events are completely and totally unacceptable. The use of guns to solve disputes cannot become a normal part of our culture. I want to express the City’s gratitude to the officers on the scene. Their quick response likely saved many more from injury and prevented the loss of life," Pureval said in a statement.

The shooting happened outside a bar. The terrorist managed to fire within 20 seconds before Cincinnati cop Joe Shook got involved. Shook shot at the terrorist but apparently he didn't stop him. The terrorist soon fled among the chaos. Lt. Colonel Mike John of the Cincinnati Police Department told a news conference. It was unknown if the bullet struck the suspect, he added.

None of the victims were “in critical condition and most of those injuries are lower extremity injuries,” he said.

Outside Mr. Pitiful, a mass shooting.

Based on preliminary information, the suspect was wearing a white shirt, dark pants, John said. He added the investigators were canvassing the scene and looking for witnesses. Camera footage would also be reviewed, he said.

At least two people were shot in a separate incident in Cincinnati's Central Business District, John said. He did not say if the shootings were related.

He did not provide any information about the status of the victims or details about the suspect.

The feds are involved and are looking for the terrorist.

Congress is dealing with mass shootings in its usual partisan fashion. Democrats in the House of Representatives have passed a ban on semi-automatic firearms. It will find a difficult challenge in the Senate because of Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and the 50 Karen Republicans in the Senate.

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.

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.

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.

Gun violence is an everyday thing.

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.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

Sanders Could Tank Biden's Inflation Reduction Act!

The island of misfit senators.

President Joe Biden's headaches:

1. The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
2. Gun violence and Congress not doing anything to stop it.
3. Inflation.
4. Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a democratic socialist.
5. The members of The Squad and Progressive Caucus.
6. The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
7. Anti-vaxxers. 
8. Lawmakers and activists who protest the CDC guidelines during the pandemic.
9. The endless culture wars that Republicans and media agitators find outrage in.
10. Washed Up 45 and his minions on Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the internet.
11. Facebook and TikTok along with the idiots who run it plus the idiots who post on it.
12. Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and OANN's relentless talk about conspiracies, Hunter Biden and the president's mental capacity and health.
13. The endless racism towards Biden's allies, Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Barack Obama.
14. The relentless talk about spending despite the former president's reckless spending and policies that driven debt to all time highs.
15. The lack of civility towards fellow Americans.

Vermont senator once again bloviates about how things aren't going far enough. He threatens to tank the Inflation Reduction Act. It has riled up many of the Democrats.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. 

He and Maine's independent senator, Angus King are two key votes to the Democratic majority. Then of course, the two Democrats who act like white nationalists. Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) finally got on board with the Democrats in backing Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and his budget and climate change proposals.

It will take 50 senators and Vice President Kamala Harris to pass a reconciliation of the Inflation Reduction Act. Sanders is angry that the Democrats are not going along with riders he wants added to the bill that Schumer worked out to get Manchin and Sinema on board.

Sanders had decided at 4th and goal to complain about the bill. 

He gave Republicans a talking point and a petty excuse to why he decided to say the bill isn't bring inflation down in the long term. Republican will use this talking point every time Democrats want to raise taxes on the wealthy. Sanders gave them the ammunition to fire in their cannon.

"I want to take a moment to say a few words about the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that we are debating this evening," Sanders said just after joining Democrats in advancing debate on the proposal. "I say so-called because according to the CBO and other economic organizations that have studied this bill, it will in fact have a minimal impact on inflation."

For much of the week, Sanders has torn into the $740 billion proposal brokered by Senate Majority Leader Schumer and Manchin, which would invest millions in green energy, lower some prescription drug prices, and impose a 15 percent minimum tax on large corporations.

Schumer managed to pull Manchin in for crucial votel

Sanders' mention of the CBO, or Congressional Budget Office, is a nod to the nonpartisan scorekeeper's finding that the proposal is negligible, at least in the immediate future, NPR previously reported.

The Vermont independent intends to introduce amendments to change the bill, such as one measure that would empower Medicare to pay an amount equal to the Department of Veterans Affairs for prescription drugs. Sanders later stood alone as both Democrats and Republicans rejected his amendment to cap costs for covered prescription drugs under Medicare parts B and D by a 99 to 1 vote. 

Both Georgia Democrats, Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, later joined Sanders on an amendment that would Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing benefits. But once again, the Vermont senator's effort failed via a lopsided vote, this time 3 to 97.

Republicans have used the CBO's findings as fodder to lambaste the Democrats' proposal. Some have previously used Sanders' exact approach of referring to the proposal as "the so-called Inflation Reduction Act."

"I don't find myself saying this very often. But on that point, I agree with Bernie," Sen. Karen Thune of South Dakota, the second-ranked Senate Republican, told Insider.

Sanders has fumed over the elements that were jettisoned from Biden's larger "Build Back Better" agenda to advance the compromise, including universal pre-K, tuition-free community college, and in-home care for the elderly. 

To win over Sinema, Schumer dropped riders.

The Vermont senator and former presidential candidate added that the legislation contains "good features" but also criticized its inclusion of a drug pricing provision that will take years to kick in. He later called it an "incredibly tepid bill." Sanders also ripped the provisions in the bill that would expand some fossil fuel exploration, an addition that helped secure Manchin's support.

Sanders pressed Democratic senators to address "the major crises facing working families" during his floor speech.

"If we cannot do that, not only will people continue to hurt and suffer but to my mind, it is questionable how long we will remain a democracy," he said on Saturday.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) who help write the legislation as chairman of the powerful Finance committee, said he shared Sanders' hope for a bill that went further in many areas. But on drug pricing, in particular, Wyden argued the bill still takes major steps.

"I've said I'd like to do more myself, more quickly — there's no question about that those are my roots," Wyden told reporters, adding that when faced "between inaction and this, for me it's not a close call."

Jeanette McCurdy: The Creator Groomed!

The king of teen sitcoms is allegedly a sexual predator.

It was an open secret that young girls must avoid one on ones with director Dan Schneider. Now one former child actor is writing a memoir and it could bring down the former child actor turned TV sitcom producer.

Jeanette McCurdy is claiming that Schneider watched her dress in a bikini and tried to offer her alcohol. She also stated that he always was devoted to the teen actresses showing their feet.

Schneider who produced children and teen sitcoms for Nickelodeon was fired out the cannon last year. He was a television genius for the company. His power allowed him to create an environment of corruption, pedophilia and hush money.

Her memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died, details Jeanette's life before iCarly and Sam & Cat.

She detailed her complicated relationship with her mother, being friends with Ariana Grande and Miranda Cosgrove and the controversial relationship with Schneider. In the book, McCurdy details her tumultuous relationship with, and abuse by, her mother Debra, who died in 2013.

She also writes about someone she calls “The Creator” in relation to her time on the Nick shows. She says he was “mean-spirited, controlling, and terrifying” and prone to make “grown men and women cry with his insults and degradation.”

Nickelodeon, a division of Paramount Global Media allegedly tried to pay $300,000 in a non disclosure agreement.

McCurdy alleges the Creator crossed boundaries with things like initiating an unsolicited shoulder massage and trying to get her to drink alcohol when she was 18.

After allegations were made, McCurdy writes that the man was sequestered in a “cave-like room to the side of the sound stage, surrounded by piles of cold cuts, his favorite snack, and Kids’ Choice Awards blimps, his most cherished life accomplishment.”

Deadline reached out to Nickelodeon and representatives for Schneider and will add any comment received.

Schneider has denied the allegations. However it has been an open secret that his actions were known.

Too Much Sauce!

Kete's over.

The relationship appears to be over. 

Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian have split up. The relationship lasted nearly a year between the 29 year old comedian and 41 year old media personality.

Kardashian has officially launched a new reality series on Peacock.

The two said that they will remain friends and still maintain love for one another. 

Kardashian is the mother of four and she will continue to raise her children with the ex. 

Davidson had recently left SNL after appearing on the sketch show for eight years. The two met on the set during her hosting duties. They officially became a couple in October.

It riled up her ex husband Ye. Kanye West has a public feud with Davidson and Kardashian. He despise Davidson because of his politics and immaturity.

Davidson was extremely critical of the former president. He even publicly stated past relationships with Ariana Grande and Kate Beckinsale had driven his depression. Kim could retrigger it.

The relationship was the first since Kardashian split from her third husband. Ye, a media mogul and supporter of Washed Up 45, has been on a spiritual journey to irrelevancy.

West has severed his relationships with Big Sean, Common, John Legend, Beyonce and Jay-Z because of their support of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Anne Heche In Dire Straits!

Actress Anne Heche seriously hurt in car accident.

BE WARNED THERE IS GRAPHIC VIDEO.

Actress Anne Heche was seriously injured in a fiery car crash in Los Angeles. The first responders had to restrain her as she was trying to escape the gurney and take off her top. 

The 53-year old actress was driving her vehicle when it crashed into a house. The vehicle engulfed in flames. The Los Angeles Police Department can't confirm if the actress had either a medical issue, being under the influence or a mechanical problem with her car.

The vehicle crashed into a parking garage earlier. Heche would soon be seen speeding through a neighborhood before the crash into a residential home.

They say she is severely burned. They have her in critical condition.

Heche was born in Aurora, Ohio, a tiny village near Cleveland. She grew up in a rough household. Anne and her mother, far right Christian extremist Nancy Heche are estranged. When Anne came out as bisexual and dated media mogul Ellen DeGeneres, her mother called her a whore and said she was publicly embarrassing the family. Anne is a victim of sexual abuse and suffered from bipolar disorder and mental fatigue. Her father was a sexual predator who lived a double life. He allegedly sexually abused his children, Nancy and slept with men. He since died from complications from AIDS.

Heche may have deliberately tried to kill herself.

Ellen and Anne were an it couple for a handful of years. Before Ellen got her talk show, the two were considering, marriage. It turned sour when Anne found love a cameraman who filmed Ellen's stand up.

Anne since broken up with Ellen. She had married Coley Laffoon and had a son. She divorced her husband and started dating actor James Tupper and they have a son. She broke off the relationship just a few years ago.

Heche had a mental breakdown in 2000. She literally parked her car in the California desert and walked 1 1/2 miles to a ranch home. She asked the owner if she could take a shower and watch a movie. She ended up sleeping on the couch and not leaving. He called the law and they took her to a mental hospital.

Dingbat Lake Wins!

The noise is triumphant.

Arizona has a culture of white nationalism in its politics. 

The Republicans had two seats at one time. John McCain and Jeff Flake. Flake quit because his criticism of the former president made him a primary challenge. The GOP ended up getting milquetoast Karen McSally as their nominee. She ended up losing to Karen Sinema, a bisexual, pink wig wearing white nationalist. McSally was later appointed as a senator after McCain died and she ended losing to the husband of gun violence survivor Gabby Giffords.

President Joe Biden carried the state after nearly 25 years of Republican wins. They have two Democrats as their senators. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is facing a challenge to retain a full term. He will face off against white nationalist Karen Masters.

Sinema has been a gridlock to Biden and its made Kelly's race more difficult.

Now the race for governor. Karen Lake, a former news reporter who abandoned all her allies for the cult of Washed Up 45. She has officially became the Republican nominee for governor.

Lake’s victory was a blow to the GOP establishment that lined up behind lawyer and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson in an attempt to push their party past the chaotic Washed Up 45 era. Lake said she would not have certified President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and put false claims of election fraud at the center of her campaign.

“Arizonans who have been forgotten by the establishment just delivered a political earthquake,” Lake said in a statement after the race was called.

Republicans now enter the general election sprint with a slate of nominees closely allied with the former president who deny that Biden was legitimately elected president. Lake will face Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in the November election.

“This race for governor isn’t about Democrats or Republicans. It’s a choice between sanity and chaos,” Hobbs said Thursday night in a statement on Lake’s victory.

Early election results showing only mail ballots received before Election Day gave Robson a solid lead, but that was whittled down as votes from polling places were added to the tally. Lake’s victory became clear Thursday when Maricopa County released results from thousands of mail ballots dropped off at the polls on Tuesday.

“The voters of Arizona have spoken,” Robson said in a statement conceding to Lake late Thursday. “I accept the results, I trust the process and the people who administer it.”

In a midterm primary season with mixed results for Washed Up 45’s favored candidates, the former president came out on top in Arizona, a state that has been central to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and cast doubt on Biden’s victory. In addition to Lake, the former president’s picks for U.S. Senate, secretary of state, attorney general, U.S. House and the state Legislature all won their GOP primaries.

If they win in November, his allies will hold sway over the administration of elections in a crucial battleground state as he considers another bid for the White House in 2024. The results also show that Washed Up 45remains a powerful figure in the GOP as longtime party stalwarts get increasingly bold in their efforts to reassert control ahead of the next presidential campaign.

Former Vice President Karen R. Pence, Arizona Gov. Karen Ducey and former New Jersey Gov. Karen Christie all campaigned for Robson in the days before the election.

Robson, who is married to one of Arizona’s richest men, largely self-funded her campaign. She called the 2020 election “unfair” but stopped short of calling it fraudulent and pushed for the GOP to look toward the future.

Lake now faces the daunting task of uniting the Republican Party after a bruising primary. On Wednesday, as Lake declared victory prematurely, she attempted to reach out to Robson and others she fiercely criticized as RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only, who don’t align with the former president on key issues.

“Frankly, this party needs her to come together, and I welcome her,” Lake said of Robson. “And I hope that she will come over for this.”

Robson said she’s spent her life supporting Republicans, “and it is my hope that our Republican nominees are successful in November.”

Like the former president, Lake courts controversy and confrontation. She berates journalists and dodges questions. She burned masks during the COVID-19 surge in the summer of 2021 and attacked Republicans like Ducey who allowed restrictions on businesses, though as a news anchor she encouraged people to follow public health guidance.

Lake spent the days leading up to her own election claiming there were signs of fraud, but she refused to provide any evidence. Once her victory was assured, she said voters should trust her win is legitimate.

“We outvoted the fraud,” Lake said. She pointed to problems in Pinal County, which ran out of ballots in some precincts and had to print more, but she and her attorney, Tim La Sota, refused to provide evidence backing up her claims of fraud.

She said she has no plans to stop talking about election fraud even as she needs to broaden her appeal beyond the loyalists her powered her primary victory.

Federal and state election officials and Washed Up 45’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the 2020 election was tainted. The former president’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges he appointed. A hand recount led by his supporters in Maricopa County, Arizona’s largest, found no proof of a stolen election and concluded Biden’s margin of victory was larger than the official count.

Hobbs, Lake’s opponent in November, went after the candidate over her opposition to abortion rights and gun control and a proposal she floated to put cameras in every classroom to keep an eye on teachers.

Republicans, moving toward November as a divided party in Arizona, need to make an appeal to the independent voters who decide close races, said Chuck Coughlin, a longtime Republican strategist who left the party during the Washed Up 45 era.

“I see it as a challenge the Republicans are going to have: How do they narrate to unaffiliated voters?” Coughlin said.

Water Works! 🏄‍♂️

Another successful job report.

President Joe Biden has a string of wins. But also a string of issues that plague him.

Democrats on record saying that they are not confident in supporting him in 2024.

Coronavirus cases are back at all time highs. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they will no longer enforce health rules. They are now very concerned with monkeypox. 

The president did declare a public health emergency. However, Republican governors like in Florida and Texas will oppose any mandates to prevent the next pandemic. The president has called for more vaccines to prevent the spread. It has so far affected every state and territory.

The PACT Act which allocated funds to veterans who suffered toxic illnesses from burn pits passed and will be signed into law.

Kansas rejected Republicans attempt to ban abortion. They rejected a ballot measure that would allow state legislature draft an abortion ban. The Supreme Court decision to reject Roe v. Wade is opposed by a majority of Americans.

Republicans picked a handful of extremists as their nominees.

Karen Manchin and Karen Sinema got on board with Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats will use reconciliation to pass the Inflation Reduction Act.

The U.S. announced the death of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri. He was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan by a CIA drone strike in an affluent neighborhood in the Afghan capital.

Manchin and Schumer reach a deal.

Gas prices have fallen across the nation. Many states have seen prices below $3 a gallon.

Unemployment is now at 3.5% after the U.S. Department of Labor released its jobs numbers saying that 528,000 jobs were added for the month of July.

The U.S. economy added over half a million nonfarm payrolls last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced Friday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg anticipated a gain of 250,000 payrolls. The print shows job growth rebounding from the month prior as labor demand held steady through the summer.

July’s job creation was up from 398,000 in June and the most since February.

The red-hot jobs numbers from the Labor Department on Friday arrive amid a growing consensus that the U.S. economy is losing momentum. The U.S. economy shrank in the first two quarters of 2022 — an informal definition of recession. But most economists believe the strong jobs market has kept the economy from slipping into a downturn.

The surprisingly strong jobs numbers will undoubtedly intensify the debate over whether the U.S. is in a recession or not.

“Recession – what recession?” wrote Brian Coulton, chief economist at Fitch Ratings, wrote after the numbers came out. “The U.S. economy is creating new jobs at an annual rate of 6 million – that’s three times faster than what we normally see historically in a good year."

Economists had expected only 250,000 new jobs this month.

The Labor Department also revised May and June hiring, saying an extra 28,000 jobs were created in those months. Job growth was especially strong last month in the healthcare industry and at hotels and restaurants.

Hourly earnings posted a healthy 0.5% gain last month and are up 5.2% over the past year — still not enough to keep up with inflation.

The jobless rate fell as the number of Americans saying they had jobs rose by 179,000 and the number saying they were unemployed dropped by 242,000. But 61,000 Americans dropped out of the labor force in July, trimming the share of those working or looking for work to 62.1% last month from 62.2% in June.

The GOP fumes at Biden wins.

The strong job numbers are likely to encourage the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates to cool the economy and combat resurgent inflation. “The strength of the labor market in the face of ... rate tightening from the Fed already this year clearly shows that the Fed has more work to do,′ said Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist at Allianz Investment Management. “Overall, today’s report should put the notion of a near-term recession on the back-burner for now.″

There are, of course, political implications in the numbers being released Friday: Voters have been worried about rising prices and the risk of recession ahead of November’s midterm elections as President Joe Biden’s Democrats seek to maintain control of Congress. The unexpectedly strong hiring number will be welcomed at the White House.

The economic backdrop has been troubling: Gross domestic product — the broadest measure of economic output — fell in both the first and second quarters; consecutive GDP drops is one definition of a recession. And inflation is roaring at a 40-year high.

The resiliency of the current labor market, especially the low jobless rate — is the biggest reason most economists don’t believe a downturn has started yet, though they increasingly fear that one is on the way.

New Yorker Karen Smalls, 46, started looking for work three weeks ago -- via job sites like ZipRecruiter and Indeed -- as support staff to social workers who serve those with mental health issues.

“I didn’t realize how good the job market is right now,” she said shortly after finishing her fifth interview this week. “You look at the news and see all these bad reports ... but the job market is amazing right now.’’ A single mother, she is weighing several offers, looking for one that is close to her home in Manhattan and pays enough to let her take care of her two children.

Recession is not an American problem alone.

In the United Kingdom, the Bank of England on Thursday projected that the world’s fifth-largest economy would slide into recession by the end of the year.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has darkened the outlook across Europe. The conflict has made energy supplies scarce and driven prices higher. European countries are bracing for the possibility that Moscow will keep reducing — and perhaps completely cut off — flows of natural gas, used to power factories, generate electricity and keep homes warm in winter.

If Europeans can’t store enough gas for the cold months, rationing may be required by industry.

Economies have been on a wild ride since COVID-19 hit in early 2020.

The pandemic brought economic life to a near standstill as companies shut down and consumers stayed home. In March and April 2020, American employers slashed a staggering 22 million jobs and the economy plunged into a deep, two-month recession.

But massive government aid — and the Feds decision to slash interest rates and pour money into financial markets — fueled a surprisingly quick recovery. Caught off guard by the strength of the rebound, factories, shops, ports and freight yards were overwhelmed with orders and scrambled to bring back the workers they furloughed when COVID hit.

Pelosi's trip to Taiwan has caused tension with China.

The result has been shortages of workers and supplies, delayed shipments -- and rising prices. In the United States, inflation has been rising steadily for more than a year. In June, consumer prices jumped 9.1% from a year earlier — the biggest increase since 1981.

The Fed underestimated inflation’s resurgence, thinking prices were rising because of temporary supply chain bottlenecks. It has since acknowledged that the current spate of inflation is not, as it was once referred to, “ transitory.”

Now the central bank is responding aggressively. It has raised its benchmark short-term interest rate four times this year, and more rate hikes are ahead.

Higher borrowing costs are taking a toll. Rising mortgage rates, for instance, have cooled a red-hot housing market. Sales of previously occupied homes dropped in June for the fifth straight month.

Real estate companies — including lending firm loanDepot and online housing broker Redfin — have begun laying off workers.

Before Friday’s blockbuster hiring report, the labor market had shown other signs of wobbliness.

The Labor Department reported Tuesday that employers posted 10.7 million job openings in June — a healthy number but the lowest since September.

And the four-week average number of Americans signing up for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs that smooths out week-to-week swings — rose last week to the highest level since November, though the numbers may have been exaggerated by seasonal factors.

“Underestimate the U.S. abor market at your own peril,″ said Nick Bunker, head of economic research at the Indeed Hiring Lab. “Yes, output growth might be slowing and the economic outlook has some clouds on the horizon. But employers are still champing at the bit to hire more workers. That demand may fade, but it’s still red hot right now.″

Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the president. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.

President Joe Biden's headaches:

1. The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
2. Gun violence and Congress not doing anything to stop it.
3. Inflation.
4. Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a democratic socialist.
5. The members of The Squad and Progressive Caucus.
6. The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
7. Anti-Vaxxers. 
8. Lawmakers and activists who protest the CDC guidelines during the pandemic.
9. The endless culture wars that Republicans find outrage in.
10. Washed Up 45 and his minions on Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the internet.
11. Facebook and TikTok and the idiots who run it and the idiots who post on it.
12. Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and OANN's relentless talk about conspiracies, Hunter Biden and the president's mental capacity and health.
13. The endless racism towards Biden's allies Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Barack Obama.
14. The relentless talk about spending despite the former president's reckless things.
15. The lack of civility towards fellow Americans.

The Coronavirus and monkeypox doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings.

Jobs are looking good despite fears of an economic slowdown and with a roaring pace of inflation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Companies are still trying to hire employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.

Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.

Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.

We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.

Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

Washed Up 45's presidency and Republican controlled governments killed millions of Americans. Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that women deserve the right to safe medical procedures. Let them know that their failure to pass legislation to lower prices are the reasons why the economy is in a free fall. 

Dems To Pass Inflation Reduction Bill!

White nationalist Sinema finally agrees to back Biden bill.

After months of negotiations with the two white nationalist Democrats, the majority will finally vote through reconciliation. The president also got the veterans burn pit bill passed. 

President Joe Biden has huge wins with a handful of days before the Midterms.

Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) finally got on board with the Democrats in getting a bill through. Of course, they forced a handful of policies the Squad, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) out.

Senate Democrats on Thursday were said to have clinched an agreement to approve a legislative package carrying many of their domestic priorities on climate, healthcare, and taxes.

"I am pleased to report that we have reached an agreement on the Inflation Reduction Act that I believe will receive the support of the entire Senate Democratic conference," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement, referring to the $740 billion spending bill he secretly negotiated with Manchin.

Schumer got pain in the ass Sinema to get on board.

Schumer said the deal "preserves the major components" of the legislation. The package would still allow Medicare to negotiate the price of some prescription drugs, establish over $300 billion in clean-energy tax credits, and extend financial assistance so Americans can purchase health coverage under the Affordable Care Act for three more years. Those made up the core pieces of the Manchin-Schumer bill.

Senate Democrats need Sinema's vote to approve the bill over GOP opposition using budget reconciliation. The process allows senators to pass certain types of legislation with a simple majority, which Democrats have just barely, wielding the tiebreaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris in the 50-50 chamber.

In a statement, Sinema said Democrats had ejected a provision to narrow the carried-interest loophole benefiting private equity and hedge fund managers. She had long been opposed to closing the loophole, conflicting with Manchin's ardent desire to narrow it.

"We have agreed to remove the carried-interest tax provision, protect advanced manufacturing, and boost our clean-energy economy in the Senate's budget-reconciliation legislation," Sinema said in a statement.

She added that she was willing to advance the legislation, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, pending further review from a top Senate official to ensure it complies with reconciliation's strict rules. Sinema said she wanted to deal with carried interest later, but it seems unlikely Republicans would lend support for narrowing or closing the loophole.

Flipper opposed burn pits and inflation reduction bill.

Removing carried interest knocks out roughly $14 billion in revenue from Manchin's bill. But a Democrat familiar said a stock-buyback tax had been added to the legislation. It would impose a 1% tax when a public firm buys its own shares as a way to raise the stock price and enrich shareholders. It's expected to raise a lot more money, the person said on condition of anonymity.

Schatz praised the climate provisions that appear to be on a path to final passage sometime early next week. "We have a climate deal that is equal to the moment," he wrote on Twitter. "It is both enormous and not enough, it is both historic and only a down payment. This is the fight of our political generation, so this isn't over."

Pressure from veterans groups and comedian Jon Stewart led to the PACT Act being passed and the president signing it into law.

Eleven Republican senators voted Tuesday against a bipartisan measure, the PACT Act, that is designed to help veterans who were exposed to toxic chemicals while deployed abroad.

The bill was approved in the Senate by a vote of 86-11 a week after 41 Republicans elected to stall the final passage of the measure, citing concerns over its cost. Twenty-five Republicans who voted against the bill last week voted for a nearly identical version of the legislation in June.

The effort to block the legislation caused an uproar among veterans groups, with critics arguing that aid for veterans was being held hostage over GOP opposition to another measure, the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes significant amount of money to combat climate change and lower health care costs.

Jon Stewart has long addressed the bullshit of government.

The bill voted on passed with an 86-11 on Tuesday to provide billions of dollars in new aid to military veterans who were exposed to burn pits and other sources of potentially lethal toxins while deployed abroad.

The PACT Act will expand health coverage for an estimated 3.5 million former soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, where burn pits were used to dispose of trash, sewage, and medical waste, exposing those nearby to toxins that have been linked to respiratory issues and cancer. The bill also helps soldiers who were exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam.

Veterans groups had complained that, under existing law, many have had their claims for care from the Department of Veterans Affairs were denied because they were unable to directly link their ailments to their deployments. The new legislation stipulates that the burden of proof is removed for all who suffer illnesses potentially related to burn-pit exposure.

Conspiracy Nut Must Empty His Tree!

Can't call reality a conspiracy.

The InfoWars host is ordered to pay the families of the Sandy Hook massacre.

He is required to pay $4 million to Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, the parents of Jesse Lewis, the 6-year old boy who was killed along with 24 others at the elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.

For years, this asshole kept reminding his listeners that Sandy Hook was staged and the victims were crisis actors.

An attorney for the asshole asked jurors to award Heslin and Lewis only $1.

The jury was only asked to decide whether the asshole, who has already been found liable by a judge because he did not hand over critical evidence before the trial began, must also pay Jesse's parents for the emotional distress and reputational damage caused by his false claims. The jury will also decide whether to award punitive damages. The panel will hear testimony on that subject Friday.

Speaking on Infowars Thursday, the asshole said he’d made a mistake and “followed disinformation — but not on purpose. I apologized to the families and the jury understood that.”

Noting that the plaintiffs had been awarded $4 million — and not the $150 million they’d sought — asshole also described the verdict as a “big victory against the tyrants and the new world order.”

The trial included testimony from both parents and asshole, who has portrayed the lawsuit as an attack on his First Amendment rights. Following the shooting, he had asserted that it was fabricated and included crisis actors. He later acknowledged that it took place.

His attorney, Andino Reynal, argued that the asshole has paid for his mistake by losing millions of followers after he was removed from social media platforms in 2018.

“He made a terrible mistake,” Reynal told jurors, referring to the asshole. “That mistake was weaponized by the same political forces that had descended upon Sandy Hook when it happened.”

As the jury deliberated Thursday, Reynal requested a mistrial because his team accidentally sent the contents of the asshole’s cell phone to lawyers for Heslin and Lewis. A lawyer for Heslin and Lewis used some of the information on Wednesday to point out inconsistencies in the asshole’s testimony. The judge denied the request.

Heslin and Lewis testified on Tuesday that asshole's lies left them in fear for their lives and compounded their grief.

“Having a 6-year-old son shot in front of his classroom is unbearable and you don’t think you’re going to survive and then to have someone on top of that perpetuate a lie that it was a hoax, that it was a false flag,” Lewis said, speaking directly to the asshole during her testimony. “I don’t think you understand the fear you perpetuate, not just to the victim’s family but to our family, our friends and any survivor from that school.”

The crux of the trial is a 2017 episode of NBC’s “Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly,” on which Heslin appeared and challenged the asshole’s denial of the shooting. Heslin says in the episode: “I held my son with a bullet hole through his head.”

The asshole and another Infowar host later implied that Heslin had lied. 

Heslin and Lewis are among several Sandy Hook families who have filed lawsuits against the asshole arguing that his statements that the mass shooting was a hoax have led to years of abuse from his followers.

Brittney Griner Got Nine In Russia!

Russia gives Brittney Griner her sentence.

The Russian Federation found probable cause and Brittney Griner pleaded guilty to having vapes with marijuana traces inside it. Now the Phoenix Mercury all-star is facing nine in a Russian time out.

Tensions between the Russians and Americans have been high. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has been hit with sanctions which crippled its economy. Russia has vowed to sever ties with those who supported sanctions. The Russians plan on ending their ties with the International Space Station and World Bank.

The U.S. condemns the act and are quietly working behind the scenes to have her and two other Americans freed from Russia. Griner is a native of Houston and is married with two children. Her wife, Cherelle has demanded the U.S. do more to get her out of there.

Griner, one of the most high profile figures being held in Russian custody was arrested in Feb. 2022 for having cartridges with THC. She was detained at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Khimki.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who appeared in court Thursday for the final hearing in her trial, was facing up to 10 years in prison although 9 1/2 years was the maximum sentence with time served. Griner has a right to appeal.

President Joe Biden slammed Russia in a statement on Thursday morning following Griner's sentencing and called on Russia to "release her immediately."

"Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney," Biden said.

Calls to free Griner escalated following the release of U.S. Marine veteran Trevor Reed in April, who was freed from a Russian prison as part of a prisoner exchange. Former Marine Paul Whelan has also been detained in Russia since 2019.
