John Fetterman makes peace with Malcolm Kenyatta and Conor Lamb. Can he win over Black voters, though?
The Republicans are likely going to start engaging with the Black community. Even though, they will deliver divisise noise, Pennsylvania is state they like to keep a hold of knowing that one of their white nationalist buddies are leaving the scene.
Sen. Karen Toomey (R-PA) is retiring and Republicans feel like they can keep a hold of the seat knowing that they have this oaf as the Democratic nominee.
But their nominee is a piece of shit. It appears to be a battle between douchebags.
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz are both unlikeable. I detest both of them with a passion.
However, given the choice between the two, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I would go with Fetterman handily.
I would have to grumble while voting for him, though!
Black voters are not really into this guy. I mean this guy is totally Nina Turner when it comes to understanding Black voters. He only wants to appeal to white voters.
Fetterman rallies are white as snow.
Rep. Connor Lamb (D-PA) was considered the better candidate and he lost because the junk food media failed to vet Fetterman. However, now that we have Fetterman, we have to stomach it. The far right has already called him the Bernie Sanders socialist loving guy who chased a Black jogger with a pump action gun. They said he is a loser who got lucky.
Before he won the nomination, Fetterman had a stroke. He recovered and he's back to campaigning. This continues to be an issue with some voters.
His opponent Oz is a bone fide idiot. He gave up his TV show to run on behalf a washed up politician and an annoying media agitator. He is the latest celebrity turned politician who believes he's entitled to the seat. Oz endorsed by Washed Up 45 has been using Softball Hannity's strategy to target Fetterman.
Fetterman never addressed his days as the mayor of Braddock and the infamous chase of a Black jogger.
In January 2013, when Fetterman was the mayor of the Pittsburgh-area steel town of Braddock, Pennsylvania, he reportedly heard gunshots near his home and claimed he saw a man dressed in black and wearing a face mask running in the street. The then-mayor claimed the man was running toward an elementary school — this was weeks after the Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Fetterman said he chased the man in his pickup truck and detained him with his 20-gauge shotgun until the police arrived. That man, who was an unarmed jogger named Christopher Miyares, provided a very different account of the incident. He said Fetterman had pointed the gun to his chest and he definitely knew he was Black, both of which Fetterman denied.
Nevertheless, Miyares, now incarcerated for an unrelated offense, supports Fetterman in the Senate race. “Even with everything I said, it is inhumane to believe one mistake should define a man’s life,” Miyares said in a letter to The Philadelphia Inquirer last year. “I hope he gets to be a senator.”
The Republicans have already used this play in order to keep Black voters away from the polls.
Right now, I have the race as Lean Democrat.
Fetterman did poorly in Pittsburgh, Scranton and Philadelphia with Black voters. He better start making moves to the Black church and prove his vote will matter.
PNB rock’s girlfriend posted their location on IG. 20 minutes later some robbers came and shot him. The same scenario happened with Pop smoke. You people need to learn to stop posting your location while you’re still there. pic.twitter.com/cHAO4frk48
PnB Rock was at a Roscoe's Chicken ordering food when he was shot in an attempted robbery. The incident happened on Monday around 1:15pm. The Los Angeles Police Department confirm that PnB Rock (born Rakim Allen) was the victim of this shooting.
He was is best known for his 2016 hit, "Selfish." The rapper was 30 years old.
His girlfriend decided to post the badly injured victim on social media and of course, it was soon deleted due to Meta's graphic content rule.
PnB Rock leaves behind a 6 year old daughter.
The terrorist brandished a firearm inside the restaurant and demanded items from the victim. Sources believe that a group of terrorist are deliberately targeting celebrities.
"He shot the victim and ran outside the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot," said LAPD Capt. Kelly Muniz. The rapper was pronounced dead at 2:00pm.
Born in Philadelphia, PnB Rock was interested in rapping at the age of 19. He wanted to match flows with likes of media mogul Drake. After listening to Take Care, he decided to get into the rap game.
His ability to blend melodies with rapping made him a natural fit for hip-hop's next generation as described in the Los Angeles Times. He gained prominence in 2015 with him promoting his single "Fleek" on Vine. He would end up collaborating with numerous artists throughout his life.
Should entertainers stop posting their riches and homes on social media?
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.
Remember #3 means: 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. I am getting fucking tired of white nationalists and their enablers of color complaining about the lack of Black fathers. The fathers are either killed by gun violence, police violence, COVID-19, heart diseases, diabetes, freak accidents and just being Black in America.
Social media is fatal.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
White nationalist lawmaker is still likely to win her bid for Congress. However, the polls will show a tightening race. Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO) has lost her goddamn mind.
Boebert and Democratic opponent Adam Frisch participated in a debate on Saturday night in Grand Junction. The event was part of a daylong series of debates hosted by Club 20, Colorado Mesa University and the Grand Junction Sentinel.
During a televised debate, Boebert went into her rants about the debate moderator, President Joe Biden, her opponent and of course, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
The woman is a staunch defender of Washed Up 45 and his endless bullshit.
She gained fame for being the former restaurant waitress who used to serve food to customers with a firearm on her hip. Her restaurant Shooters Grille was shut down permanently after her landlord warned her that her lease was up and she still operated.
Adam Frisch called out incompetent lawmaker's record.
On top of that, it appears that during the pandemic, she was violating the state's emergency COVID-19 procedures which led to the landlord finally ending her lease.
Frisch, a businessman and former Aspen City Council member, will face the incumbent Boebert in the election to represent the GOP-leaning 3rd Congressional District. Frisch was an independent and is conservative. He said that he is frustrated with angertainment. He called out Boebert for not doing her job as a representative.
Frisch is a former banking executive. He told Ballotpedia that he is passionate about “getting inflation under control” and said he is an experienced local and international businessman familiar with affordable housing and infrastructure.
Boebert is one of 90 members who have no legislative accomplishments. She is considered noise.
As much as I know it's a part of American and world history, we should now start moving towards normalcy when it comes to honoring Sept. 11.
When George W. Bush took office, many were fuming at the Supreme Court decision that allowed Florida's electoral votes go to him and the popular vote go to Al Gore, the Vice President of the United States at the time. The Texas governor's brother was John Ellis Bush (Jeb), and he was then governor of Florida at the time. Some questioned that tactics by Katherine Harris, then secretary of state and later congresswoman purging Black and Hispanic voters off the rolls. Voter irregularities and shady tactics at the polling booths.
This is the 21st anniversary of the tragic attack on New York, Washington, DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Also this is the 10th anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The attack was inspired by men radicalized by the noise of Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri. The 19 men dressed like normal travelers. They got on planes leaving Boston Logan, Newark Liberty and Reagan and hijacked the planes mid-flight. The first airline crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. As the New York authorities were trying to rescue those trapped in the building, another airline crashed into the South Tower. By that time, President George W. Bush was notified of the attack on New York. He abruptly left a Florida school during a reading session.
During his briefing, another plane would crash into the Pentagon. The Pentagon was not destroyed but it sustained heavy damage. By that time Vice President Dick Cheney was notified to evacuate the White House and Observatory Circle. Congress was also notified and had to take evacuations.
The news was zeroed in on the World Trade Center. All the cable channels went to live coverage. CNN was the first network to report the airline crashing into the towers.
The country changed after 9/11.
On top of that, the FAA and U.S. military were notified to close off airspace and border crossings. The final plane was expected to hit Congress was averted by the victims. They managed to restrain several hijackers. The final plane would end up aborting by crashing into rural Pennsylvania. The hijacker deliberately crashed the plane to prevent them from taking back control.
These terrorists shook America and led our nation into war with two countries.
George W. Bush declared war on Afghanistan after the nation refused to handover al Qaeda leaders and funders. The war started in December 2001 and ended in August 2021.
The U.S. overthrown the Taliban and it held them out until the U.S. forces formally left.
The Taliban regained control shortly after U.S. forces left.
The Republicans used the Afghanistan war to promote Islamophobia, hatred of immigrants and called anti-war protesters, traitors and enemies of the state. Fox led the way to generating public option and threw culture wars into the public discourse. It led to many noise makers using freedom and liberty as it was their rightful ownership.
Republicans would soon encourage the public to fight the war in Iraq. The U.S. was misled by allegations that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and allied with al Qaeda. That led us to a 8 year war that ended in 2011.
When Barack Obama ran for president, he promised that he wouldn't rest until the leaders of al-Qaeda were captured or killed. His political rivals thought he was naive and foolish at the time. They were wrong.
After a landslide election, Obama was elected to be president. As the successor of George W. Bush, Obama inherited two wars, an economic crisis and congressional gridlock.
The charred remains of Flight 93.
Obama managed to end the war in Iraq and is on the verge of ending the war in Afghanistan. The president is still trying to get a stubborn Congress to pass legislation that could spark growth in the economy.
And of course, the president kept his promise. May 2011, the president announced to the world that the leader of al-Qaeda was killed by the United States Military Special Operatives in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Obama was been really aggressive on disrupting al-Qaeda and its affiliates.
Republicans then started the drum brat of the Benghazi attack. It damaged Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she ran for president a second time. Republicans obsessed over Obama's handling of the attack and threatened impeachment for it.
September 11, 2012, the U.S. diplomatic mission in Cairo, Egypt was mobbed by protesters apparently in response to an anti-Islamic online video known as Innocence of Muslims. A group scaled the embassy wall and tore down the American flag to replace it with a black Islamic flag. This incident (and the coinciding armed attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that was widely misreported as a reaction to the film) launched a series of worldwide demonstrations against the film outside diplomatic facilities of the United States and other Western countries. However, other underlying issues of discontent have fueled the protests in some countries. The protests that continued in the ensuing weeks also expanded to other Western-related locations, some of which turned violent, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries.
The protest lays down in the groundwork for a sneak attack to infiltrate the U.S. Embassy compound in Libyan by militants. They ended up killing four Americans which included J. Christopher Stevens, a longtime ally to the president.
Obama's political foes in the Republican Party wish Osama bin Laden was still alive. They refuse to credit him for giving the orders to take out the world's most wanted terrorist
The Republicans could never take responsibility for a tragedy. They'll blame the Democrats for every domestic or international incident whenever there's a Republican president.
George W. Bush ignored the Richard Clarke warnings. He ignored the Bill Clinton memos. He wanted to chart his own goals.
The Republicans are too extreme. They are doused in the gasoline and are inflamed by culture wars, conspiracy theories and the lack of self awareness. They are shameless hypocrites with a need to "own the libs." It is very sad that we have came to the conclusion that America's democracy is in jeopardy of collapse. They will stop at nothing to undermine the country. Republicans are responsible for almost every tragedy and instead of owning up to the tragedies, they want to rewrite it and blame everyone else for it,
Republicans claim that if it wasn't for Bill Clinton, the 9/11 attacks would of never happened. They claim that George W. Bush was responsible for taking down Osama bin Laden. To this day, they believe Barack Obama and Joe Biden are weak on the border, terrorism and are responsible for the crappy economy they inherited.
Republicans place the blame of the Los Angeles/Rodney King riots, the Minneapolis/George Floyd riots, every mass shooting, every government shutdown, every man made disaster on the Democrats. Every wildfire, volcano, earthquake, tornado, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Maria is blamed the Democrats. They blame Democrats for crime and gun violence. They claim it was the Democrats most responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, mask mandates and closing businesses when it was a Republican president and most Republican governors who ordered shutdowns.
In the minds of Republicans, George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump never done anything wrong!
Now 21 years later, Obama's former vice president and our current president Joe Biden is now honoring the memories of those lost on 9/11/2001 and 9/11/2012.
This year, Biden ordered the killing of al-Zawahri who stayed in a luxury apartment in Kabul, Afghanistan. The death really shook al-Qaeda and they have no strong voices to radicalize.
Biden finally ended the war in Afghanistan and Republicans led the way to criticizing and blaming the president for the swifty evacuations and attack on 13 military members being killed by a suicide bomber.
Biden spoke at the Pentagon on Sunday to make promises that those who died on 9/11 will never be forgotten.
A California man beheaded his ex-girlfriend for breaking up with him. Again, a restraining order is just a piece of paper and it does not stop a violent offender to commit an act of revenge on their former romantic partner.
The Congress passed a gun reform law that does not go far enough. Since the suspect couldn't get a firearm, he will pick up a knife, a machete or a sword. He could roll up his hands and turn it into a fist. He could have two open hands around the victim's neck or head. The man (or woman) could use a motorized vehicle to intentionally kill the victim.
The suspect could hire a stooge to do a contract kill.
The suspect could use flammable chemicals or material to set a victim on fire.
The suspect could use an animal to kill a victim.
Everything is useful in the attempts to kill a former lover.
Thankfully, there is no video of the incident. However, the details are graphic. The suspect is facing LIFE or DEATH in this situation if California state officials determine this is a capital murder.
Karina Castro was a victim of domestic abuse and fatal beheading from her ex.
The woman’s sister and father confirmed the 27-year-old woman was killed. What may have triggered this monster was Karina posting on social media hinting she was breaking up with this monster.
The monster 33, was arrested on homicide charges, according to San Mateo County Sheriff’s Lt. Eamonn Allen. The shocking killing happened at 11:50 a.m. Thursday when Castro was attacked outside her apartment on Magnolia Avenue and Laurel Street.
Alleged photo of the monster with victim's daughter.
Witnesses flagged down deputies to alert them of the ongoing sword attack. Allen said the violence stemmed from a domestic dispute between the monster and the victim, who is a young mother of two.
Castro is the mother of the monster’s 1-year-old daughter. According to Castro’s Facebook page, she is a former Menlo-Atherton High School student.
“Karina Castro was tragically beheaded. Her family is broken hearted by her gruesome murder. She leaves behind two beautiful daughters, ages 1 and 7,” a GoFundMe page states.
Castro’s father, Martin Castro, cried as he watched firefighters wash blood stains off of the pavement where his daughter died.
Beautiful soul lost.
“I miss her already. My heart is empty without her. She was my best friend,” Martin Castro told KRON4.
Martin Castro said the monster gave him a bad feeling since the day he met him. “I didn’t like him from day one. He’s been nothing but trouble since the day he came into her life. When she got pregnant by him, my heart dropped,” he said.
Moments after the grisly attack, the monster fled on foot before deputies arrived on scene. Allen said the killer ran two blocks away, but he later returned to the crime scene unarmed. Deputies took him into custody, and investigators combed the neighborhood trying to find the murder weapon.
“There was ample enough time for him to have concealed it,” Allen said.
The monster was booked into the San Mateo County Jail with no bail. His arraignment is scheduled for Monday.
The victim’s father told KRON4, “I don’t feel he should continue breathing. I think the death penalty would be perfect for him.”
City leaders organized a donation fund to help Castro’s children. Their mother was their primary caregiver.
Mayor Sara McDowell and the San Carlos City Council issued a statement to the community writing, “Our community was shocked by the tragic murder of a young m

Michigan woman had the law called on her because the bank thought her check was fake.
To save you the trouble, download a banking app and take a photo of the check. It will be an automatic transfer into your account. If it was suspicious, the check would not be confirmed. The Android and iPhones are quite useful when it comes to mobile deposits.
It skips the possible white teller who believes you're a suspicious person.
A Michigan woman is suing Fifth Third Bank after she was denied an opportunity to cash a check that she obtained from Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort. She won over $12,000 on a slot machine and requested the winning written in a check.
The casino writes a check and she tried to deposit it at a Livonia branch. The cashier denied her request because they thought it was fraudulent.
Now she is suing the bank for discrimination.
Lizzie Pugh told CNN she won more than $12,000 on a slot machine at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, during a church outing earlier this year.
On April 11, 2022, Pugh went to Fifth Third Bank in Livonia, Michigan, to open a savings account and deposit her winnings into a newly created account, according to court documents. Pugh's complaint alleges she was told by three White bank employees at Fifth Third Bank that the check was "fraudulent."
The 71-year-old Detroit public school retiree says she was then forced to confront bank employees who initially refused to give her check back.
According to the complaint, Pugh asked the bank employees to call 911 because she was not leaving without her check. Pugh then spoke with a third bank employee who also said the check was fraudulent and because of that the bank would not allow Pugh to open an account and deposit the check. Eventually the bank employees gave Pugh her check back.
Fifth Third Bank, N.A. and Fifth Third Financial Corporation filed a response this week denying the allegations, including that their employee decided that the check was "fraudulent." They also dispute that any events occurred that would warrant damages or other relief, according to the court filing.
Livonia Fifth Third face heat for not cashing a Black woman's check.
"We are committed to fair and responsible banking and prohibit discrimination of any kind. From our review of the claims, we believe the facts to be different than what is alleged. Our employees are trained to help every customer with their banking needs, and our employees follow procedures to facilitate the opening of any new account," a spokesperson for Fifth Third Bank said in a statement to CNN.
In a statement to CNN, Pugh's attorney Deborah Gordon said, "What happened to Ms. Pugh is yet another example of the hurdles and indignities facing Black Americans as they try to get through the day. It is not only young Black men who are profiled. Fortunately, Michigan has a strong statute prohibiting discrimination in 'public accommodations,' including banks."
Pugh says she was able to cash it at another bank.
"I had this check, and I didn't want it on me now," Pugh told CNN.
Lizzie Pugh wants to enjoy her life with the casino winnings.
"I was so upset; I just took a picture of the bank on my way out because I didn't know the address," she added.
Pugh's niece, Yolanda McGee, told CNN, "She is afraid to go in any bank or any type of business. She had some events in her life from living back in Alabama as a young girl where she's been discriminated against, and you know it's heavy on her heart." McGee says she initially had to convince her aunt to file the lawsuit because her aunt was terrified to do anything.
In its statement, Fifth Third Bank says it stands by its employees, "From our review of the claims, we believe our employees' actions have been misinterpreted. That said, we regret Ms. Pugh has come away feeling mistreated after her interactions at our branch, as our employees' actions were consistent with our process and the dual goals of serving our customers while also preventing potential frauds that can victimize both the bank and our customers."
The outgoing Texas lawmaker is a white extremist and supporter of the Jan. 6 insurrection. Thankfully we may have seen the last of him. He is one of the 90 members of Congress who have relatively no accomplishments whatsoever.
Rep. Karen Gohmert (R-TX) was a former judge from Tyler, Texas. He entered Congress and soon became a far right extremist who spends most of his time scapegoating.
He is a conspiracy theorist, climate change denier and white supremacist.
During Barack Obama's term her was a birther and flat out racist. He also was a part time guest host for Softball Hannity's right wing carnival.
Gohmert along with Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) demand the U.S. Justice Department release some participants of the insurrection due to their treatment in federal custody.
He reportedly honored a COVID-19 denier and anti-mask mandate extremist.
Heartfelt moments as Dr. Simone Gold has officially been released from prison, being met by Representative Louie Gohmert, the AFLDS team, and her supporters.
Happy Freedom Day to @drsimonegold! I'm honored to be here with you after some vindictive DOJ personnel decided to lock you down in a MAXIMUM SECURITY prison.
Gohmert met with Dr. Karen Gold on Friday after she was released from federal prison.
Gold, the founder of America's Frontline Doctors, a group that spreads disinformation and conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic, was previously known for touting unproven claims during the pandemic.
In March, Gold took a plea agreement for her involvement in the riot.
Gold pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, according to the plea agreement, Insider's Ashley Collman previously reported. She was sentenced to 60 days in prison in June, CNN reported.
Gold does not look like a political prisoner. She ate healthy in the federal time out.
In a press release, Gohmert falsely called Gold a "political prisoner" and blamed President Joe Biden's administration for "unjustly prosecuting" her.
"After having her name and reputation shamefully dragged through the mud, the Biden administration's DOJ threw her in prison for peacefully walking into the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and delivering a speech. Dr. Gold is the definition of what a political prisoner looks like—something I never thought I'd see here in the United States of America," Gohmert said.
"God Bless Dr. Gold. History will not look kindly upon those who persecuted—and prosecuted—doctors who spoke out against the COVID lockdown, mask and vaccine mandates."
Gold, in a tweet, said she was "honored" to receive the recognition.
"I am honored to receive this recognition from Congressman Gohmert, a true believer in freedom and a fierce defender of our constitutional rights," Gold wrote.
This is what President Joe Biden was talking about in his Philadelphia speech. These Republicans are too extreme. Had it been Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) honoring a man who was accused of an attack and was a practicing Muslim, the far right would loose their shit.
The double standard of whiteness exists in America. Gohmert is too stupid to realize that he is only hurting the Republicans by posing with a terrorist.
Vice President Kamala Harris ain't got time for noise.
On Sunday's Meet The Press, Chuck Todd interviews Vice President Kamala Harris and goes through a handful of gotcha questions in order to bait her into becoming a Republican talking point.
Todd is on the possibility of being ousted from NBC. He has been a horrible host these last few years. He has not held many of these lawmakers accountable for misinformation.
So today, he announced his interview with the vice president.
He allowed Harris to speak without much interruption.
She addressed Washed Up 45's scandals and denounced the noise of the far right believing the Biden administration is targeting him.
Harris also publicly called for the end of the filibuster and call upon American voters to endorse Democrats this election. She asks for more senators to bypass Karen Sinema and Karen Manchin, who continue this farce of legal precedents. She wants Congress to codify Roe vs. Wade, which the "activist Supreme Court" overturned.
"I think this is an activist court," Harris told NBC News' Chuck Todd, moderator of Meet the Press, when asked about polling that shows the nation's confidence in the court hitting a low.
"We had an established right for almost half a century, which is the right of women to make decisions about their own body as an extension of what we have decided to be, the privacy rights to which all people are entitled. And this court took that constitutional right away, and we are suffering as a nation because of it."
Biden and Harris have backed an "exception" to Senate rules that would allow abortion protections to be passed with a majority vote, instead of the 60 votes normally needed to move legislation through the body. But even with that strategy on the table, Democrats have been unable to pass new abortion rights legislation.
Harris also called for Congress to protect marriage equality and voting rights. Two issues that will likely be on the Court's next session.
Harris also said that President Joe Biden will definitely run for reelection and she will proudly be his running mate. It continues to be part of the noise.....
Age of Biden, mental fitness, not an exciting president..... All noise.
I will gladly support Biden if he runs for reelection.
Harris was in Texas at the NASA Houston center. Todd would also tap into the scapegoating and culture wars Republicans harped on. She said the border is safe and it is secure. It is true the border is safe but the noise believes it is not secure.
Karen Abbott and Republicans are concerned about the border. The U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are working everyday to stop threats.
However, the Republicans are whining about seizures of drugs and migrants crossing the border have become a talking point. Abbott is deliberately trying to undermine federal authorities by busing migrants to Chicago, New York, Washington and San Francisco.
Harris affirms that Republicans and their MAGA extremism will be their undoing.
For the past few days, Queen Elizabeth II's death has pretty much overshadowed American news and entertainment. I mean I had so much things I would love to talk about, but lately I've gotten bored with a lot of things and practically exhausted after work.
It passed my radar that a legend in Black media is no longer with us.
A famed comedian and writer had passed away. MSNBC progressive agitator Tiffany Cross had just interviewed him days before he passed away.
The Wrap reported that David A. Arnold, a respected stand-up comedian, actor, television writer and producer on shows like “Fuller House,” died suddenly on Wednesday. He was 54.
He was a native of Cleveland.
“It is with great sadness that we confirm the untimely passing of our husband, father, brother and friend, David A. Arnold. David passed away peacefully today in his home and doctors have ruled the cause of death due to natural causes. Please keep our family in prayer and respect our privacy at this time, as we are all shocked and devastated by this loss,” his family said in a statement.
“Our closely knit comedy community mourns the loss of one of the greatest to ever do it. He was admired by his peers, respected by other veterans, and revered by the burgeoning comedians that he mentored. He will me deeply missed, especially by his comedy fraternity,” Arnold’s best friend, Chris Spencer said in a separate statement.
I'll never forget the day my oldest decided between my wife and me who she was gonna send to the nursing home.https://t.co/jQ7uM6wi8N
At the time of his death, Arnold was on break from his ongoing Pace Ya Self comedy tour, which was set to resume Sept. 22 in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Born March 15, 1968, Arnold began his career in comedy in 1997 and released two Netflix comedy specials — “Fat Ballerina” in 2019 and “It Ain’t for the Weak” in 2022. He also performed on “Def Comedy Jam,” “Jamie Foxx Presents Laffapalooza” and as part of the Montreal Comedy Festival over his career.
Arnold also wrote prolifically for television, serving as a writer and producer on Netflix’s “Fuller House,” creating the Nickelodeon series “That Girl Lay Lay,” also a hit on Netflix, as well as writing for “Meet the Browns,” “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne,” “The Tony Rock Project” among other credits.
He’s survived by his wife, Julia and their two children.
Lee Daniels and Mo'Nique patch up their differences.
Well she may have patched up her longstanding feud with acclaimed director Lee Daniels, actress and comedian Mo'Nique has still burned bridges with Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Oprah Winfrey and numerous others. Maybe there could be a chance for redemption amd respect for one of the Queens of Comedy.
She is considering a blacklisted actress.
It appears its going to be a little better for the embattled comedian. She settled her lawsuit with Netflix. After suing for discrimination and unfair pay, Mo'Nique will finally have her comedy show aired and will receive a hefty sum.
"Thrilled to announce that Netflix is the home for the next original stand-up special from the groundbreaking, trailblazing, and iconic Mo'Nique!" Netflix tweeted Tuesday.
In a video with the tweet, Mo'Nique said, "Can y'all believe this shit?" I done came on home to Netflix."
"Hey y'all, it's your girl Mo'Nique and I'm so excited to share that I'll be shooting my first Netflix comedy special," she said.
She also plugged her upcoming movie "The Deliverance," saying, "And in case you didn't hear, I'm also reuniting with my friend, my brother, director Lee Daniels on the Netflix film 'The Deliverance.' You won't want to miss either of them, so y'all stay tuned! And thank y'all my sweet babies. I love us for real."
Mo'Nique filed a complaint against Netflix over an opening offer of $500,000 for a standup special in 2018. She argued the offer was discriminatory, citing multimillion-dollar deals the company gave to Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Ellen DeGeneres and Ricky Gervais.
"I had a choice to make," Mo'Nique said in a Instagram post at the time. "I could accept what I felt was pay discrimination or I could stand up for those who came before me and those who will come after me. I chose to stand up."
The suit was reportedly settled in June for an undisclosed sum, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Counting her blessings, Lee Daniels gave the comedian a chance for redemption. Octavia Spencer had to leave Demon House due to other commitments with AppleTV+'s Truth Be Told. Daniels called her to be a part of the project.
Daniels publicly acknowledged the feud and ended it with her. It was a 13 year feud that lasted longer than expected. After she won an Oscar for her role in Precious, Mo'Nique was calling out Daniels, Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey for being sellouts. Daniels told her that the attitude will lead to blacklisting.
Mo'Nique had no major role on television and movies since The Parkers.
Her feud with D.L. Hughley went into a personal spat which led to a public condemnation after she went after the comedian's daughter after she disclosed being sexually molested.
Mo'Nique launched an attack on Hughley at a comedy show in Detroit when she felt the company disrespected her for not making her the headliner.
