Queen Elizabeth II Under Medical Watch!

The end is near.

The United Kingdom's longest ruling monarch is not doing well and the nation is expressing concern.

There are serious concerns about Queen Elizabeth II's health. The 96-year old leader is located in Scotland and Prince Charles, future heir along with Prince William are there in support. Prince Harry is heading to Aberdeen, Scotland.

"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision," a statement said.

The Queen is "comfortable", it added.

It is very unusual for Buckingham Palace to put out a statement like this - it is usually unwilling to provide a commentary on the 96-year-old monarch's medical matters, which are seen as private.

Her son, Prince Charles, is at Balmoral with his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Her grandson, the Duke of Cambridge (William), other sons, the Duke of York (Predator) and the Earl of Wessex (Edward), and his wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, arrived at Aberdeen airport just before 4pm.

They are travelling to the Queen's Scottish estate, about 40 miles (64km) west of Aberdeen.

Her daughter Princess Anne was already in Scotland undertaking engagements and is in Balmoral.

The Duchess of Cambridge (Catherine) has remained in Windsor with her children on their first full day at school.

Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties due to racism.

The Duke of Sussex (Meghan) is travelling separately to Balmoral. A spokeswoman said his wife Meghan was not accompanying him. The US-based couple had been in the UK to attend a charity function.

There are clearly pressing concerns for the Queen's health - much more explicitly put than before and without any reference to this only being about difficulties with mobility.

There are also warnings against unfounded speculation, such as that she might have had a fall. And on Tuesday she was photographed smiling as she appointed new Prime Minister Liz Truss.

But from the last-minute cancellation of what would only have been a virtual meeting of the Privy Council - of senior ministers - there is no mistaking the fragility of the Queen's health.

Ms. Truss said the "whole country" would be "deeply concerned" by the news.

"My thoughts - and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom - are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time," she added.

The Queen appointed Ms. Truss as prime minister at Balmoral, instead of travelling to London for the event.

During her 70-year reign the Queen has typically had an audience with her new prime minister at Buckingham Palace.

Biden will be the likely last U.S. president to meet Queen Elizabeth II.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said: "My prayers, and the prayers of people across the [Church of England] and the nation, are with Her Majesty The Queen today.

"May God's presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral."

News of the Queen's ill-health came as MPs heard details of the government's new plan to help households and businesses with energy costs in the House of Commons.

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Nadhim Zahawi entered the Commons and spoke to Ms Truss. Notes were then passed to the Commons speaker and Labour front bench. The palace statement came minutes later.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said in a statement he was "deeply worried", while Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon sent her thoughts and wishes to the Queen.

Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford sent his best wishes on behalf of the people of Wales.

The monarch has been on a summer break at her Scottish home since July.

Barriers have been being placed outside one of the entrances to the estate.

The controversy surrounding the British press and Duchess Meghan. The former American actress turned royal has been very vocal about the racism directed towards her and felt the royal family did not do enough to protect her. The junk food media has constantly attacked Meghan for no fucking reason.

U.S. President Joe Biden, Canada Prime Justin Trudeau, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and numerous leaders are aware of the Queen's health and will address it in due time.

Liz Truss Becomes Britain's Latest Problem!

Downing Street's newest resident.

The Conservative Party UK nominated Liz Truss as their leader and thereby she becomes the United Kingdom's Prime Minister. 

On Tuesday, she officially met with the ailing Queen Elizabeth II for her formal greeting and swearing in.

She will have a term marred by controversy sparked by her party and her predecessor Boris Johnson.

She is immediately faced up to the enormous tasks ahead of her: curbing soaring prices, boosting the economy, easing labor unrest and fixing a national health care system burdened by long waiting lists and staff shortages.

Truss quickly began appointing senior members of her Cabinet as she tackles an inbox dominated by the energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which threatens to push energy bills to unaffordable levels, shuttering businesses and leaving the nation’s poorest people shivering at home this winter.

Truss — Britain’s third female prime minister — named a top team diverse in gender and ethnicity, but loyal to her and her free-market politics. Kwasi Kwarteng becomes the first Black U.K. Treasury chief, and Therese Coffey its first female deputy prime minister. Other appointments include James Cleverly as foreign secretary and Suella Braverman as home secretary, responsible for immigration and law and order.

Making her debut speech outside her new Downing Street home in a break between torrential downpours, Truss said she would cut taxes to spur economic growth, bolster the National Health Service and “deal hands on” with the energy crisis, though she offered few details about how she would implement those policies. She is expected to unveil her energy plans on Thursday.

British news media reported that Truss plans to cap energy bills. The cost to taxpayers of that step could reach 100 billion pounds ($116 billion).

“We shouldn’t be daunted by the challenges we face,” Truss said in her first speech as prime minister. “As strong as the storm may be, I know the British people are stronger.”

Truss, 47, took office earlier in the day at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, when Queen Elizabeth II formally asked her to form a new government in a ceremony dictated by centuries of tradition. Outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson formally resigned during his own audience with the queen a short time earlier, two months after he had announced his intention to step down.

It was the first time in the queen’s 70-year reign that the handover of power took place at Balmoral, rather than Buckingham Palace in London. The ceremony was moved to Scotland to provide certainty about the schedule, because the 96-year-old queen has experienced problems getting around that have forced palace officials to make decisions about her travel on a day-to-day basis.

Truss will likely be the final prime minister Queen Elizabeth II meets.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a call from Truss on her first day. She spoke with U.S. President Joe Biden, too.

Ze;emslyy wrote on Twitter: “I was the first among foreign leaders to have a conversation with the newly elected British Prime Minister, Liz Truss. I invited her to Ukraine. I thanked the people of Britain for their leadership in the military and economic support of Ukraine.”

Biden, who worked closely with Johnson in confronting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was quick to congratulate Truss.

“I look forward to deepening the special relationship between our countries and working in close cooperation on global challenges, including continued support for Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian aggression,” he said on Twitter.

Truss’ office said she and Biden discussed the Ukraine war and defense cooperation, as well as economic issues and maintaining the British-Irish Good Friday Agreement. The leaders were expected to meet in person soon — likely around this month’s U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York.

Truss became prime minister a day after the ruling Conservative Party chose her as its leader in an election where the party’s 172,000 dues-paying members were the only voters. As party leader, Truss automatically became prime minister without the need for a general election because the Conservatives still have a majority of lawmakers in the House of Commons.

But as a national leader selected by less than 0.5% of British adults, Truss is under pressure to show quick results.

Ed Davey, leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats, on Tuesday called for an early election in October — something that Truss and the Conservative Party are highly unlikely to do since the Tories are slumping in the polls.

Johnson, 58, became prime minister three years ago after his predecessor, Theresa May, failed to deliver Britain’s departure from the European Union. Johnson later won an 80-seat majority in Parliament with the promise to “get Brexit done.”

But he was forced out of office by a series of scandals that culminated in the resignation of dozens of Cabinet secretaries and lower-level officials in early July.

Always colorful, Johnson said he was “like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function.”

“I will now be gently re-entering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the Pacific,” he said.

Many people in Britain are still learning about their new leader, a one-time accountant who entered Parliament in 2010.

Unlike Johnson, who made himself a media celebrity long before he became prime minister, Truss rose quietly through the Conservative ranks before she was named foreign secretary, one of the top Cabinet posts, just a year ago.

Truss is under pressure to spell out how she plans to help consumers pay household energy bills that are set to rise to an average of 3,500 pounds ($4,000) a year — triple the cost of a year ago — on Oct. 1 unless she intervenes.

Rising food and energy prices, driven by the invasion of Ukraine and the aftershocks of COVID-19 and Brexit, have propelled U.K. inflation above 10% for the first time in four decades. The Bank of England forecasts it will hit 13.3% in October, and that the U.K. will slip into a prolonged recession by the end of the year.

Train drivers, port staff, garbage collectors, postal workers and lawyers have all staged strikes to demand that pay increases keep pace with inflation, and millions more, from teachers to nurses, could walk out in the next few months.

In theory, Truss has time to make her mark: She doesn’t have to call a national election until late 2024. But opinion polls already give the main opposition Labour Party a steady lead, and the worse the economy gets, the more pressure will grow.

In addition to Britain’s domestic woes, Truss and her new Cabinet will also face multiple foreign policy crises, including the war in Ukraine and frosty post-Brexit relations with the EU.

Truss, as foreign secretary, was a firm supporter of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia.

Truss has also pledged to increase U.K. defense spending to 3% of gross domestic product from just over 2% — another expensive promise.

Rebecca Macdougal, 55, who works in law enforcement, said outside the Houses of Parliament that time will tell whether Truss can turn things round.

“She’s making promises for that, as she says she’s going to deliver, deliver, deliver,” Macdougal noted. “But we will see in, hopefully, the next few weeks there’ll be some announcements which will help the normal working person.”

The Obamas Back In The House!

Barack and Joe or Joe and Barack.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden along with Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff reunite with former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama for the unveiling of their presidential photos that were skipped by Washed Up 45 and former first lady Plastic Surgery.

Biden was happy to invite his old boss back to the White House. 

Barack and Michelle also warned that democracy is on the line if Americans don't exercise their right to vote.

Joe and Jill were then the vice president and second lady during Obama's two terms.

The Obamas are the first African Americans serve as the President and First Lady of the United States. They are a part of American history and no Republican or noise maker can ever take that away. 

They paved the way for Kamala to be the first woman and African American vice president. They paved the way for Kentaji Brown Jackson to be the first African American woman to be serving on the Supreme Court.

They paved the way for HBCU lawmakers like Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA), Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) to enter the Congress.

The ceremony will also mark Michelle Obama’s first visit to the White House since Obama’s presidency ended in January 2017, and only the second visit for Barack Obama. He was at the White House in April to mark the 12th anniversary of the health care law he signed in 2010.

Portrait ceremonies often give past presidents an opportunity to showcase their comedic timing.

“I am pleased that my portrait brings an interesting symmetry to the White House collection. It now starts and ends with a George W,” Bush quipped at his ceremony in 2012.

Bill Clinton joked in 2004 that “most of the time, till you get your picture hung like this, the only artists that draw you are cartoonists.”

Recent tradition, no matter the party affiliation, has had the current president genially hosting his immediate predecessor for the unveiling — as Clinton did for George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush did for Clinton and Obama did for the younger Bush.

Then there was an unexplained pause when Washed Up 45 did not host Obama.

Two spokespeople for the former president did not respond to emailed requests for comment on the lack of a ceremony for Obama, and whether artists are working on portraits of Washed Up 45 and former first lady Plastic Surgery.

The White House portrait collection starts with George Washington, America’s first president. Congress bought his portrait.

Other portraits of early presidents and first ladies often came to the White House as gifts. Since the 1960s, the White House Historical Association has paid for most of the paintings.
Obama's presidential photo was revealed today.

The first portraits financed by the association were of Lyndon Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson, and John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy, said Stewart McLaurin, president of the private, nonprofit organization established by first lady Kennedy.

Before presidents and first ladies leave office, the association explains the portrait process. The former president and first lady choose the artist or artists, and offer guidance on how they want to be portrayed.

“It really involves how that president and first lady see themselves,” McLaurin said in an interview with The Associated Press.

The collection includes an iconic, full-length portrait of Washington that adorns the East Room. It is the only item still in the White House that was in the executive mansion in November 1800 when John Adams and Abigail Adams became the first president and first lady to live in the White House.

Years later, first lady Dolley Madison saved Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Washington from almost certain ruin. She had White House staff take it out of the city before advancing British forces burned the mansion in 1814. The painting was held in storage until the White House was rebuilt.

President and first lady portraits are seen by millions of White House visitors, though not all are on display. Some are undergoing conservation or are in storage.

Those that are on display line hallways and rooms in public areas of the mansion, such as the Ground Floor and its Vermeil and China Rooms, and the State Floor one level above, which has the famous Green, Blue and Red Rooms, the East Room and State Dining Room.

Portraits of Mamie Eisenhower, Pat Nixon, Lady Bird Johnson and Lou Henry Hoover grace the Vermeil Room, along with a full-length image of Jacqueline Kennedy. Michelle Obama’s portrait likely will join Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush along the Ground Floor hallway.

The State Floor hallway one floor above features recent presidents: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Gerald Ford’s portrait and the likeness of Richard Nixon — the only president to resign from office — are on view on the Grand Staircase leading to the private living quarters on the second floor.

Past presidents’ images move around the White House, depending on their standing with the current occupants. Ronald Reagan, for example, moved Thomas Jefferson and Harry S. Truman out of the Cabinet Room and swapped in Dwight Eisenhower and Calvin Coolidge.

In the Clinton era, portraits of Richard Nixon and Reagan, idols of the Republican Party, lost their showcase spot in the Grand Foyer and were replaced with pictures of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman, heroes of the Democrats. Nancy Reagan temporarily moved Eleanor Roosevelt to a place of prominence in the East Room in 1984 to mark the centennial of her birth.


One of the most prominent spots for a portrait is above the mantle in the State Dining Room and it has been occupied for decades by a painting of a seated Abraham Lincoln, hand supporting his chin. It was placed there by Franklin Roosevelt.

Bill Clinton’s and George W. Bush’s portraits hang on opposing walls in the Grand Foyer.

The iconic image of President Biden greeting former president Obama with Vice President Harris in surprise.

Clinton’s would be relocated to make room for Barack Obama’s if the White House sticks to tradition and keeps the two most recent Oval Office occupants there, McLaurin said.

“That’s up to the White House, to the curators,” he said.

The association, which is funded through private donations and the sale of books and an annual White House Christmas ornament, keeps the portrait price well below market value because of the “extraordinary honor” an artist derives from having “their work of art hanging perpetually in the White House,” McLaurin said.

Details about the Obamas’ portraits will stay under wraps until Wednesday.

Biden will be the rare president to host a former boss for the unveiling; he was Obama’s vice president. George H.W. Bush, who held Ronald Reagan’s ceremony, was Reagan’s No. 2.

Betty Monkman, a former White House curator, said during a 2017 podcast for the White House Historical Association that the ceremony is a “statement of generosity” by the president and first lady. “It’s a very warm, lovely moment.”

The White House portraits are one of two sets of portraits of presidents and first ladies. The National Portrait Gallery, a Smithsonian museum, maintains its own collection and those portraits are unveiled before the White House pair. The Obamas’ unveiled their museum portraits in February 2018.

Linda St. Thomas, chief spokesperson for the Smithsonian Institution, said in an email that a $650,000 donation in July from Save America, Washed Up 45’s political action committee, was earmarked for the couple’s museum portraits. Two artists have been commissioned, one for each painting, and work has begun, St. Thomas said.

New York Slaps A Sloppy Serving!

White nationalist can't catch a break.

The former advisor to Washed Up 45 and former Breitbart CEO is to turn himself in to New York Authorities for allegedly fundraising that stolen money for We Build The Wall.

Sloppy Bannon is expected to turn himself in after New York state prosecutors accuse him Karen Shea and Karen Kolfage of stealing from people who donated to their pathetic border wall scam.

Bannon, 68, plans to turn himself in on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person insisted on anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

The Washington Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that the state criminal case would resemble an earlier attempted federal prosecution, in which Bannon was accused of duping donors who gave money to fund a wall on the U.S. southern border.

That federal case ended abruptly, before trial, when Washed Up 45 pardoned Bannon.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment late Tuesday.

Republicans love scapegoating. Building border walls won't stop migrants.

In a statement, Bannon said District Attorney Alvin Bragg “has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election,” accusing the Democratic prosecutor of targeting him because he and his radio show are popular among Washed Up 45’s Republican supporters.

“The SDNY did the exact same thing in August 2020 to try to take me out of the election,” Bannon said, referring to his arrest months before the former president’s re-election loss.

Federal agents pulled Bannon from a luxury yacht off the Connecticut coast and arrested him on charges he pocketed more than $1 million in wall donations.

“It didn’t work then, it certainly won’t work now,” the former White House strategist said. “This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system.”

Bannon, who had pleaded not guilty, was dropped from the federal case when the former president pardoned him on his last day in office in January 2021.

Two other men involved in the “We Build the Wall” project pleaded guilty in April. They had been scheduled to be sentenced this week, but that was recently postponed to December. A third defendant’s trial ended in a mistrial in June after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict.

Veteran and trophy wife scammed.

A president can only pardon federal crimes, not state offenses, but that doesn’t mean state-level prosecutors have carte blanche to try similar cases.

In 2019, then-Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. brought state mortgage fraud charges against Washed Up 45’s former campaign chairman Karen Manafort in what was widely seen as an attempt to hedge against a possible pardon.

But a judge threw the case out on double jeopardy grounds, finding that it was too similar to a federal case that resulted in Manafort’s conviction. (Manafort was later pardoned by the former president).

While Manafort’s New York case was pending, New York eased its double jeopardy protections, ensuring that state-level prosecutors could pursue charges against anyone granted a presidential pardon for similar federal crimes.

Bannon’s case differs because he was dropped from the federal case in its early stages. In most cases, double jeopardy is only a factor when a person has been convicted or acquitted of a crime.

In another case not covered by Washed Up 45’s pardon, Bannon was convicted in July on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October and faces up to two years in federal prison.

Washed Up 45 And Moron Vance Will Rally Around Ohio State Buckeyes Football!

Washed Up 45 comes Vance's rescue.
I put the Ohio senate race in TOSS UP.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) is putting so much distance from the mainstream Democratic Party, you might confuse him as a Republican. The moderate Democrat is not campaigning with President Joe Biden or gubernatorial nominee Nan Whaley. He said he's cool on the assistance on Democrats given that Ohio swinged to Washed Up 45 heavily in 2016 and 2020. Even Ryan's own district flipped to the former president.

So instead of campaigning on Biden accomplishments, Ryan is touting how he's not the Squad or Biden.

He is saying he isn't for culture wars and he will take on China. Blah, blah, blah....!

I will support him but I will be on his ass if he becomes Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) or Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ). I will call him a Karen if he disappoints me.

Anyway, his rival, Moron Vance is struggling. 

So he will be participating in a rally with Washed Up 45. They will hold a rally in Youngstown in an attempt to bait Ryan. 

Ryan gave up his congressional district to run for the senate.

Ryan hit back by trolling. He said why would Vance want to campaign when the Ohio State Buckeyes are holding a home game?

No. 3 Ohio State is playing against Toledo and it will be another packed house in Columbus. More people will watch the game than a Washed Up 45 rally with the same losers like Michael the Black Man. That would be the guy who wears the Blacks for Trump shirt and usual background distraction.

Ryan is working hard to court Ohio voters.

Vance will visit Columbus in three weeks for a campaign fundraiser hosted by owners of the Columbus Crew professional soccer team. Team supporters are unhappy and see it as a reversal from previous decisions to avoid politics.

Ohio is attracting national attention as GOP groups pour money into the U.S. Senate race to boost Vance, who has trailed behind Ryan in fundraising. Republicans also expressed concern over the summer that Vance wasn't campaigning enough and allowing his opponent to dominate the airwaves.

Had they stuck with Karen Mandel or Karen Gibbons, the Republicans would have put more funding into the campaign. The Vance campaign is now doing what Nina Turner had done, throw everything to the wall hoping it will stick. They doing it with that dingbat Mehmet Oz and Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. and idiot John Fetterman.

I have the Pennsylvania race as LEAN DEMOCRAT.

Karine Jean-Pierre Had To Drop One On Doocy!

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has to get a stupid question from Doocy.

The Fox White House Reporter is controversial for his GOP talking point questions aimed at President Joe Biden, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and former Jen Psaki. Once again, he tries this smug attempt to cast Democrats as election deniers.

Reminder, Hillary Clinton is inserted yet again by Fox, Washed Up 45 and Republicans every time something goes wrong with them.

The RNC spend donor money to put up a montage of Democrats living and deceased complaining about election results. In the video, not one of them called for supporters to walk down to the Capitol and not show weakness. Not one of them posed with firearms or holding a Bible.

Karen Doocy is the son of Fox & Friends host/weatherman Karen Doocy. He is the guy Biden called a stupid son of a bitch on a hot mic.

Doocy tried to bait Jean-Pierre on her past tweets about the 2016 election being stolen.

"Oh, I knew this was coming," Jean-Pierre said, cutting him off. "I was waiting, [Karen], for when you were going to ask me that question."

"Well, here we go," Doocy responded. "You tweeted [Washed Up 45] stole an election. You Tweeted [Karen] Kemp stole an election. If denying election results is extreme now, why wasn't it then?"
Doocy gives GOP talking points as questions.

"Let's be really clear: That comparison you just made is ridiculous," Jean-Pierre said, adding that she was speaking specifically about voting rights at the time.

"Governor Kemp won the election in Georgia. I have been clear about that," she continued. "I have said [the former president] won the election in 2016, and I have been clear about that. What we are talking about right now is, let's not forget, what happened on January 6th, 2021. We saw an insurrection, a mob, that was incited by the person who occupied [the White House]. … It was an attack on our democracy."

Democrats never encouraged their supporters to violently storm the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overthrow democracy. So this is a false equivalency.

Fox obviously got a lot of problems on their hands. They are facing a lawsuit from Dominion and Smartmatic for pushing false stories about their software changing votes from Washed Up 45 to Biden. These lies were pushed on primetime programs and led to the reputation of those companies being harmed.

Biden had described "MAGA Republicans" as a threat to Democracy in a Philadelphia speech last week. The president has attempted to push Washed Up 45 and the January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol into center stage ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

"MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards," Biden said. "Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love."

Zerlina Maxwell Out At MSNBC!

Zerlina Maxwell to leave MSNBC.

SiriusXM Progressive host is leaving MSNBC. Her show on MSNBC and Peacock was cancelled.

Zerlina Maxwell and Ayman Mohyeldin lost their Peacock streaming shows this week amid “programming changes to the MSNBC hub on Peacock,” confirmed MSNBC.  Variety reported the announcement as a “streaming shake-up at MSNBC.”

Executives had hoped Maxwell, a Democratic activist and former campaign aide to Hillary Clinton would stay on in an analyst role. But she appears to have declined.

Mohyeldin will keep his current role on MSNBC and the changes to Peacock will officially take effect in September.

Maxwell, a Democratic activist and former campaign aide to Hillary Clinton, joined MSNBC in 2018 and began hosting her own daily new show on Peacock in October of 2020, called Zerlina.

Maxwell has appeared frequently on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC as a commentator and has written for The Washington Post, Jet, The American Prospect, Black Enterprise, CNN.com, The Huffington Post, Salon, and Ebony. Her Twitter account was named by The New York Times as "A Twitter Voice to Follow" in 2012, as one of "Salon's Twitter 50" in 2012, and one of Time's 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2014. The Cut magazine's Kaitlin Menza said that Maxwell as "has built a career around expressing her political opinions with wit and intelligence."

Missing White Woman Syndrome: Eliza Fletcher's Body Found In Memphis!

Tragic end to missing jogger abduction.
The tragic end to a national story that seems to overshadow the thousands of missing persons who go missing and never get the amount of coverage.

Like I've said before, I wished they would have found her alive, but it turned out to be an abduction and likely murder. The monster is currently in lockup and refuses to talk about his motive to attack a jogger.

What's worse, the far right and Republicans will likely exploit this for political gains.

The victim is a white woman. The monster is a Black man. The city is Memphis. The city has a 76% Black population and crime has increased. 

The mayor is a Democrat. Republicans are harping on criminality under President Joe Biden. 

This will be a culture war controversy.

Memphis Police and the Shelby County Sheriff's Department confirm they found human remains close to the prime suspect's home. The body was found near Victor Street near Lincoln Elementary School. 

The abduction of Eliza Fletcher has gotten the junk food media's attention. It has ignored the missing 15-year old Miracle Cooper who disappeared the same time around Eliza' abduction.

The monster had prior criminal offenses like kidnapping and possible sexual violence. 

The monster's brother tipped the law when he noticed his actions were weird. He was also trying to clean out a vehicle of bodily fluids.

He stalked Eliza for about few minutes before he aggressively grabbed her.

The monster will likely face murder charges and assured a LIFE or DEATH possibility if convicted. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna want to see all missing persons found safely, regardless of color. However, we want the same amount of time spent to finding women of color, children, men and other women who never get the attention.

It's a real coined term to media coverage of missing white women who get nonstop coverage. You know more about this person than the thousands of people missing everyday.

Suspect to face murder charges.

Missing white woman syndrome has led to a number of tough on crime measures, mainly on the right, that were named for white women who disappeared and were subsequently found harmed. In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size and youthfulness function as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women were more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends or a troubled past, while coverage of white women often tend to focus on their roles as mothers or daughters.

Black women and indigenous women are missing far more and yet they never get the attention that white women get. Think about Gabby Petito and the amount of attention she and her killer got.

If the suspect is Black, Muslim or immigrant, the white extremists would often troll Black blogs and social media to throw inappropriate discussions about how white women should avoid relationships with people of color. They would use racial slurs, coded language and concern trolling as an excuse to justify their hatred.

How many women of color are killed by white men?

Do white men often troll social media with "thoughts and prayers" to women of color?

Easy answer......!

Federal Judge Gives Washed Up 45 A Little Time To Breathe!

A federal judge gave Washed Up 45 a little time to collect his thoughts.

Take discretion, Washed Up 45's rants are extremely disturbing.

Softball Hannity was complaining back in August about the Department of Justice judge shopping to obtain a warrant to search Mar-a-Lago. I guess he gave the incompetent former president an idea. The idea was to judge shop for a leniency.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is inexperienced. She was appointed by Washed Up 45 in late 2020. She was among the 30 or so federal judges that are not qualified to be on the bench.

The 41 year old federal judge will likely have U.S. Marshals protection due to the high profile case she and U.S. District Judge Bruce Reinhart are dealing with.

Cannon waited til Monday to grant the request by Washed Up 45’s legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from his Florida home last month and also temporarily halted the Justice Department’s use of the records for investigative purposes.

It infuriates the DOJ that this judge allowed someone to examine property the U.S. government says its rightfully theirs. It is a wasteful distraction. It allows the person to possibility destroy evidence.

Inexperienced federal judge gave Washed Up 45 a special master.

The appointment is likely to slow the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago given the judge’s directive that the Justice Department may not for the moment use any of the seized materials for investigative purposes. But it is not clear that it will have any significant effect on any investigative decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe.

Cannon would permit the continuation of a risk assessment of the documents being conducted by the U.S. intelligence community.

Washed Up 45’s lawyers had argued that a special master — usually an outside lawyer or former judge — was necessary to ensure an independent review of records taken during the Aug. 8 search. Such a review was necessary, they have said, so that any personal information or documents recovered by the FBI could be filtered out and returned to Trump and so that any documents protected by attorney-client privilege or executive privilege could also be segregated from the rest of the investigation.

The Justice Department had argued against the appointment, saying it was unnecessary since it had already reviewed potentially privileged documents and identified a limited subset of materials that could be covered by attorney-client privilege.

It also said the former president was not entitled to the return of any of the presidential records that were taken since he is no longer president and the documents therefore do not belong to him. And personal items that were recovered were commingled with classified information, giving them potential value as evidence, the department has said.

While in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the former president went into his greatest hits. He bemoaned about how President Joe Biden was an "enemy of the state", Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell," Hillary Clinton's emails and Barack Obama spying on him were real crimes and the FBI is corrupt. It was a shitshow for the MAGA Republicans.

Barack Obama Wins An Emmy!

Obama won an Emmy.

Washed Up 45 is hated by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The current president had warned thar the washed up politician and Republicans are becoming a danger to democracy. 

President Joe Biden will host former president Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama this week for their unveiling of their White House portraits.

He will also congratulate his former boss on his Emmy win.

Obama won the best narrator Emmy for his work on the Netflix documentary series, "Our Great National Parks."

The five-part show, which features national parks from around the globe, is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, "Higher Ground."

He was the biggest name in a category full of famous nominees for the award handed out at Saturday night's Creative Arts Emmys, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Attenborough and Lupita Nyong'o.

When they go low, we go higher.

Obama is the second president to have an Emmy. Dwight D. Eisenhower was given a special Emmy Award in 1956.

Obama previously won Grammy Awards for his audiobook reading of two of his memoirs, "The Audacity of Hope" and "A Promised Land." Michelle Obama won her own Grammy for reading her audiobook in 2020.

EGOT refers to a special category of entertainers who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. To date, 17 people have done it.

The late Chadwick Boseman also won an Emmy for his voice work on Saturday. The "Black Panther" actor won for outstanding character voiceover for the Disney+ and Marvel Studios animated show "What If...?"

On the show, Boseman voiced his "Black Panther" character T'Challa in an alternate universe where he becomes Star-Lord from "Guardians of the Galaxy."

It was one of the last projects for Boseman, who died in 2020 of colon cancer at age 43.

Obama has not won a Tony or an Oscar award. He has won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.

Pat Stay Passed Away!

Battle rapper Pat Stay passed away after a fatal stabbing.

Battle rapper Pat Stay was fatally stabbed outside a bar in Halifax, Canada. Before his passing, he challenged disgraced rapper The Game to a rap battle.

The rapper quickly came to defense of Eminem after The Game launched his attack against him, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.

The Game made a diss called The Black Slim Shady and it was over 10 minutes. It was a really weak diss.

The incident happened in downtown Halifax early Sunday morning. Police discovered Stay with stab wounds and transported him to a nearby hospital, where he later died, Halifax Regional Police said in a statement.

They are investigating the case as a homicide. No arrests have been made yet.

Several hip-hop stars took to social media to pay their respects to Stay.

Eminem wrote, "hiphop lost one of the best battlers of all time ... RIP

@patstay .. KINGS NEVER DIE!"

Fellow Canadian artist Drake commented on a recent song Stay released, writing, "Pat Stay's definitely one of, if not, the best."

Stay was a father of two young children. A GoFundMe campaign, verified by the platform, has been established for his family to help with funeral expenses.

"He has been taken from the world far to soon and many will be devastated forever," a message from the campaign organizer reads. "Pat Stay was a very honorable man who was on his way to a bright future. Our heart hurts for his family and friends at this time so we hope to help ease some of the pain by ensuring his family has help through this process."

In a 2020 interview with the Canadian publication the Signal, Stay talked about his work ethic and offered his advice for aspiring artists.

"If you're making a beat, release it and then make 5,000 more. If you have like 10 songs out and you think they are good, well, make a lot more," Stay said. "The best people in this industry are working hard, every day. It's a grind."

Missing White Woman Syndrome: Suspect Caught In Eliza Fletcher Abduction!

More developments in missing white jogger abduction.

Memphis Police announced an arrest in the abduction of jogger. Cue the noise....

The suspect is a Black man.

Okay, the latest details in the latest media coverage of another missing white woman. It seems like it will be exploited by the far right in their desperate attempt to scapegoat Democrats, Black men and race into their culture wars.

Mind you has anyone seen Memphis missing Black teen, Miracle Cooper?

Republicans will waste no time trying to use this disappearance to blame Democratic mayors, progressive district attorneys and Black Lives Matter.

Eliza Fletcher is a Memphis area resident who went jogging around 4am. Cameras capture her being abducted and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Memphis Police have a 38 year old man in custody.

The suspect has been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence in Fletcher's disappearance. A second person was also arrested, but police said that suspect was "currently not believed to be connected" to Fletcher's abduction early Friday.

"This remains to be an active and ongoing investigation," police said on Twitter.

The law said Fletcher, 34, was forced into a vehicle while she was jogging near the University of Memphis campus. She was jogging when a man approached her and forced her into a dark-colored GMC Terrain after a brief struggle. Fletcher was reported missing when she did not return home.

Fletcher is the granddaughter of the late Joseph "Joe" Orgill III, a Memphis hardware businessman and philanthropist, according to news outlets.

Police said Fletcher is still missing.

"MPD Investigators and officers, along with our local and federal partners, continue searching for Mrs. Fletcher," the department said.

Fletcher is White, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with brown hair and green eyes, police said. She weighs 137 pounds.

The teacher’s damaged phone was found near the scene where she is believed to have been abducted, CrimeStoppers Executive Director Buddy Chapman said, according to a news release obtained by CNN affiliate WHBQ.

Junk food media coverage has increased.

The family of the mother of two is offering a $50,000 reward through CrimeStoppers for information leading to an arrest in the case, WHBQ reported.

“We look forward to Eliza’s safe return and hope that this award will help police capture those who committed this crime,” her family said in a statement shared by Chapman.

In a post on Twitter, St. Mary’s Episcopal School said Fletcher is a junior kindergarten teacher.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in a tweet it is assisting Memphis police in the investigation.

Will the Republicans and white nationalists exploit the Eliza Fletcher abduction for political gains?

Probably

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna want to see all missing persons found safely, regardless of color. However, we want the same amount of time spent to finding women of color, children, men and other women who never get the attention.

It's a real coined term to media coverage of missing white women who get nonstop coverage. You know more about this person than the thousands of people missing everyday.

Missing white woman syndrome has led to a number of tough on crime measures, mainly on the right, that were named for white women who disappeared and were subsequently found harmed. In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size and youthfulness function as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women were more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends or a troubled past, while coverage of white women often tend to focus on their roles as mothers or daughters.

Black women and indigenous women are missing far more and yet they never get the attention that white women get. Think about Gabby Petito and the amount of attention she and her killer got.

If the suspect is Black, Muslim or immigrant, the white extremists would often troll Black blogs and social media to throw inappropriate discussions about how white women should avoid relationships with people of color. They would use racial slurs, coded language and concern trolling as an excuse to justify their hatred.

How many women of color are killed by white men?

Do white men often troll social media with "thoughts and prayers" to women of color?

Easy answer......!
