Conservative Outage Over Lizzo Playing On James Madison's Crystal Flute!

Lizzo plays and the right rages.

Racism, sexism and fat shaming never takes a break. Conservatives are outraged over entertainer Lizzo playing on a 200-year old flute once owned by James Madison, the 4th President of the United States. Known as the shortest president married to the taller Dolley Madison, the former president was a musician.

He owned a crystal flute and the Library of Congress has it. They kept the former president's flute in safe storage. 

The Library of Congress granted Lizzo access to the flute and apparently the far right went bonkers over it.

The entertainer made history and they're upset over it. For the far right, a Black woman playing a flute of an American president is disrespectful to the founding fathers.

It just noise.

The very same folks who want to carry firearms into businesses to trigger outrage are upset over a pop singer playing a damn flute.

Lizzo is richer than the noise. She is more popular than the noise. And she pretty much doesn't give a fuck about what the noise says. She is well deserving of the honor to play a part of history. It is a good day for Lizzo and the far right can stay mad all day long.

North Carolina Sheriff Wished He'd Fire Them Black B*stard Deputies!

Eraser head said he hates these Black bastards.

Ignore the noise.

Vote.

Vote like your life depends on it.

North Carolina Republican sheriff in some hot water after he made a series of racist diatribes about Black men and even some Black deputies. Shortly after he took his oath of office, this dirty sheriff fired three Black deputies and made moves that has the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the FBI and U.S. Justice Department's attention.

The dirty sheriff resigned from the sheriff union and the NAACP of North Carolina wants him gone.

Dirty sheriff Karen Greene, no relation to Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) is facing off against another cop who recorded his racist rants.

They’re gone. This is as fair as I’m going to be. Just giving you a heads up, that’s coming. When me and [my attorney and wife] go through it tomorrow, the first numbers we see, they’re gone. They ain’t going to make it brother. I’m telling you, they might as well find somewhere else to go.

I’m tired of them fucking with me. It ain’t happening no more. No goddamn more. So you let them know, if I find their numbers in the next day or two, they ain’t going to like it. They damn sure ain’t going to like it. And that’s got to be somebody in the command staff…

Tomorrow’s gonna be a new fucking day. I’m still the motherfucking sheriff, and I’ll go up and fire every goddamn [inaudible]. Fuck them Black bastards. They think I’m scared? They’re stupid… I don’t know what else to do it. So it’s just time to clean them out. There’s a snitch in there somewhere tellin’ what we are doing. And I’m not gonna have it. I’m not going to have it.

I don’t know what else to do it. So it’s just time to clean them out. There’s a snitch in there somewhere tellin’ what we are doing. And I’m not gonna have it. I’m not going to have it.

In the recording, Greene can be heard saying he’s going to start firing people who are “guilty by fucking association” with former sheriff Lewis Hatcher and Melvin Campbell, another African-American officer in the department Greene fired two months after taking office.

“We’ll cut the snake’s head fucking off. Period. And Melvin Campbell is as big a snake as Lewis Hatcher ever dared to be. Every Black that I know, you need to fire him to start with, he’s a snake,” Greene says before ending the phone call.

Greene defeated the county's Black sheriff in 2018 by a mere 33 votes.

Greene is the sheriff of Columbus County and won the spot by a mere 34 votes. 

His opponent Jason Soles has leaked the tapes after a conversation started between the two when he first got word the sheriff was planning on firing these Black bastards.

The NAACP issued a statement calling for his resignation. The N.C. Sheriff’s Association was scheduled to hold a hearing regarding Greene’s comments on Friday, Sept. 30, but Greene resigned Thursday afternoon.

“The Association believes sheriffs are and should continue to be held to the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, principles, and morals and should serve their communities regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, or sex. Comments that disparage any North Carolina citizens certainly do not meet those standards,” a press release from the Association partially reads.

While Greene has resigned from his position in the Association, he is still the sheriff of Columbus County.

“Sheriff Jody Greene must resign. His language is divisive, nasty, and offensive — his words are disparaging and hurtful to people of color. His actions have cast a cloud over his ability to execute the office with impartiality,” the statement issued by NC State Conference of the NAACP President Deborah Dicks Maxwell and Curtis Hill, President of the Columbus County Branch of the NAACP, reads in part.

Greene is not resigning. He basically stated that all of the recordings are noise and he said that rumors won't stop him from doing his job.

The recordings opened up a possible lawsuit for wrongful termination and an ethics probe into how he conducts business as sheriff.

Columbus County is located in Southeastern North Carolina. It voted for Washed Up 45 by 60%. The largest town is Whiteville.

Republicans Are Trying To Take Back Student Loan Forgiveness!

I know these Republicans ain't gonna take away student debt relief.

Seriously, Republicans want to take away debt relief from millions of Americans. That means their voters who go to college and have federal loan debt. Those who want to be future insurrectionists are being told that they must pay for the debt. 

Six Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration in an effort to halt the student loan debt forgiveness plan for millions of Americans. The states leading this farce are Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Carolina and Arkansas.

Arkansas leds the lawsuit.

Biden said in August he will forgive up to $20,000 in education debt for a huge number of borrowers. The announcement, after months of internal deliberations and pressure from liberal activists, became political fodder ahead of the November midterms while fueling arguments from conservatives about legality.

The lawsuit brought to federal court by these states says that the debt cancellation plan is "not remotely tailored to address the effects of the pandemic on federal student loan borrowers," as required by the 2003 federal law that the administration is using as legal justification. 

Biden's student debt forgiveness plan will cancel up to $10,000 for student loan debt for those making less than $125,000 and those who make up to $250,000 will have $20,000 student loan debt cancelled.

Some Democrats like Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) have criticized the plan and seriously believes that it may impact his chances at taking the open senate seat. He is a competitive race against Moron Vance, a venture fund capitalist who moved to Ohio from San Francisco. 

Republicans gave a huge tax break to billionaires and raise the national debt.

The poor and middle class need a break. The Republicans go crazy because it was not their idea and they don't want to give the Democratic president a win. They want Americans to pull themselves by the boot straps while they keep stripping away the safety net.

Floriduh!

If the hurricane doesn't get him, his job will.

Hurricane Ian does not stop for stupidity. Here's the latest of white privilege and stupidity in full highlight.

So let's get it straight, take hurricanes seriously.

You can lose your life within seconds.

President Joe Biden and Gov. Karen DeSantis confirm that this is one of the deadliest hurricane in Florida's history. They have an unconfirmed report of nearly 200 people killed. Only a mere week ago, DeSantis was taunting Biden by sending migrants to Delaware. 

Now he finally has to be a governor for once.

The president has already confirmed that the federal government is at the ready for hurricane damage and repairs.

Social media shows the idiocy of some of these Americans.

Hurricane Ian is now pass the state of Florida. Now it expect that become a category 2 storm when it approaches Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina.

Trevor Noah To Leave The Daily Show!

An iconic comedian is stepping down from The Daily Show. Trevor Noah is leaving the show soon.

After seven years, Trevor Noah is expected to leave The Daily Show. The South African comedian is expected to leave the show at some point and Paramount Global will now search for a replacement.

I am shocked!

Love Trevor Noah!

In a video statement shared on Twitter Thursday, Noah said that after seven years as host of the Comedy Central satirical news program, his “time is up.”

“It’s been absolutely amazing. It’s something that I never expected,” Noah said of his experience hosting the show. “I found myself thinking throughout the time of everything we’ve gone through. The Trump presidency, the pandemic, just the journey, more pandemic and I realize that after the seven years, my time is up.”

Thus, a shocking moment in television.

Noah took over for Jon Stewart when the comedian stepped down after working there for 16 years. He became the first African to host a American comedy primetime program.

His show takes in over 4 million viewers and he often took on the noise from Fox, Washed Up 45, President Joe Biden and the hypocrisy.

“I want to say thank you to you, to you who watched this,” Noah said. “I never dreamed that I would be here. I sort of feel like ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ I came here for a tour of what the previous show was and then the next thing you know I was handed the keys.”

Noah hinted that his decision to leave the show is rooted in his desire to return to more standup work.

“I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road, and when I got back out there, I realized there’s another part of my life out there that I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning other languages. I miss going to other countries and putting on shows,” Noah said.

He expressed his gratitude to his viewers, “The Daily Show” team and to Comedy Central, “who believed in this random comedian nobody knew on this side of the world.”

“I’ve loved hosting this show, it’s been one of my greatest challenges and one of my greatest joys,” Noah said. “I’ve loved trying to find a way to make people laugh, even when the stories are particularly shitty, even on the worst days. We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together.”

He did not share when his final show would be, but said he’d still be around for awhile.

“Don’t worry, I’m not disappearing,” Noah said. “If I owe you money, I’ll still pay you.”

Thank you Trevor..... We gonna miss you!

Stick To The Message!

Republicans resort to dog whistle politics this midterm election.

Republicans love to stay on message. Their message is inflation, crime and open borders. 

They offer no plans on how to combat these issues. The only plan is to scapegoat and use culture wars to scare white voters and depressing people of color from voting. The Commitment to America was rolled out and I guess Republicans are engaged. The Republicans are rolling out a mass ad campaign to paint Democrats as the party of crime, socialism, open borders, inflation, mandates, etc.

The noise that keeps Republicans engaged in voting.

As Democrats are trying to stay on message about democracy being on the line, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ), Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and the Squad keep fucking up the momentum.

Republicans are intensifying their focus on crime and public safety, hoping to shift the debate onto political terrain that many of the party’s strategists and candidates view as favorable. The strategy seeks to capitalize on some voters’ fears about safety — after a pandemic-fueled crime surge that in some cities has yet to fully recede. But it has swiftly drawn criticism as a return to sometimes deceptive or racially divisive messaging.

So fentanyl is being masqueraded as candy.

While President Joe Biden was discussing his policies to decrease inflation, Hurricane Ian, the Inflation Reduction Act which lowered Medicare and Medicaid costs, Fox pivoted to drug trafficking and Halloween candy.

CNN and MSNBC covered the president, Fox discussed the border, liberal elites, Hillary Clinton and fentanyl. All part of the Republican Party's plan to make the issues not about Washed Up 45, having election deniers on the ballot, women losing the right to safe termination, using immigrants as pawns and embracing white nationalism.

The DEA said drug traffickers have expanded their inventory to sell fentanyl - a synthetic opioid 50 times more potent than heroin - in a variety of bright colors, shapes and sizes. 

A recent seizure in Connecticut found 15,000 fentanyl pills stashed in Skittles and Nerds packaging, and with Halloween just weeks away, the DEA is urging parents to be vigilant. 

The agency have sent a stern warning to parents to educate themselves as children prepare for the spooky season, with a former specialist warning that 'this is not a drug issue, it's a mass poisoning.' 

During the period of May 23 to September 8 this year, 10.2 million fentanyl pills and about 980 pounds of fentanyl powder were seized by the the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as part of the One Pill Can Kill initiative.

Of the 390 cases investigated during this period, 51 cases have been linked to overdose poisonings and 35 cases link directly to one or both of the primary Mexican cartels responsible for the majority of fentanyl in the United States – the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). 

The U.S. Border and Customs Agency has stopped thousands of illegal drugs from entry but some slip through. Republicans obsess with the fact that it was stopped not entered into the country.

It is a play upon suburban white voters who feel inflation and crime are real issues.

Inflation is worldwide. Crime has been up since 2018 but has declined in recent years.

The migrant caravans are the usual pivot Fox does. It takes off the victories Biden achieved over the past month.

With the Inflation Reduction Act passed, enabled policies start within months. 

Republicans act like things should began the moment a law is passed. It never stops with the noise the Republicans and conservative agitating media.

Fox Calls Puerto Rico A Dirty......!

The U.S. still helping Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona.

Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island with a majority Spanish speaking population and a self-autonomous U.S. territory. It is a commonwealth and unincorporated territory.

While many look at Puerto Rico as a country, the U.S. officially regard it as a part of its sovereignty. It has a governor, a U.S. Representative who is a resident commissioner and a territorial government.

Those living on the island are U.S. citizens. However they have limited rights due to the Insular Act which forbids them from voting in the presidential elections. 

Hurricane Fiona hit the island and damaged the grid. The island was declare a state of emergency by President Joe Biden and FEMA is there trying to restore the power grid.

Now as Hurricane Ian is ravaging through Florida, the controversial governor Karen DeSantis has pledged that state and federal assistance is coming. He had talked to the president but never credited him for the rapid response in preparation of the devastating cyclone.
Dingbat.

Fox which is grooming the governor to run for president in 2024. They happened to run live coverage and its host made a freudian slip when discussing Ian destroying neighboring Cuba's power grid and Puerto Rico's power grid by Fiona.

Karen McCallum: You saw what happened in Cuba, I mean, the entire island is completely out of power. And it gives you — you know, you feel terrible for people in Puerto Rico who were just hit, in Cuba who were just hit. Thank God we have better infrastructure in our country. We’ve put a lot of investment into making sure that we’re ready for these things. But it’s an act of nature, and you never know exactly what to expect.

Puerto Ricans believe the federal government will ignore them for Florida. They have not forgotten the failures of leadership when Hurricane Maria hit the island in 2017.

Washed Up 45 was angered by criticism, he threatened to pull funding. He wanted to allocate money to purchasing self-autonomous Greenland.

Even Her Husband Can't Stand Her!

The white nationalist divorces her husband.

The white nationalist lawmaker is too extreme for her family. The do-nothing Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) confirms she and her husband are heading to divorce land.

The petition, filed in the Floyd County, Georgia, court, said the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and indicated that the couple, who have been married for 27 years, had been separated for some time. 

The white nationalist said in a statement: “Marriage is a wonderful thing and I’m a firm believer in it. Our society is formed by a husband and wife creating a family to nurture and protect. Together, Perry and I formed our family and raised three great kids. He gave me the best job title you can ever earn: Mom. I’ll always be grateful for how great of a dad he is to our children. This is a private and personal matter and I ask that the media respect our privacy at this time.”

Husband Perry Greene said, Marjorie has been my best friend for the last 29 years and she has been an amazing mom!” it said. “Our family is our most important thing we have done. As we go on different paths we will continue to focus on our 3 incredible kids and their future endeavors and our friendship.”

The allegations of cheating were well known. 

The white extremist cheated on her husband with a spiritual guru and a manager of her fitness club.

The couple has three children together: Lauren, Taylor, and Derek.

The QAnon and conspiracy theory enthusiast was allegedly unfaithful to her spouse with "brazen" affairs a decade ago, DailyMail.com reported.

Greene's former boss at the CrossFit gym in Alpharetta, Georgia, billionaire Jim Chambers, claimed to the Mail she had the affairs when she worked for him in 2012, the first being with "Tantric Warrior" Craig Ivey.

"She was part of the staff I inherited," the 36-year-old businessman explained.

"She wasn't someone who needed a paycheck. She was working as a trade – she got free membership and access and the opportunity to learn the business.

The white nationalist lawmaker is the least effective member of the House of Representatives. Since she was stripped of her committees in 2021, Greene has done nothing more than troll on social media and appear at Washed Up 45 rallies.

Some of these lawmakers will easily win their elections despite the controversies they carry. Some will move on to become commentators, activists or figures in a government role.

Greene is expected to win her bid for another term. If Republicans do retake the House, she will be given a committee and Republicans will strip Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Eric Swalwell of their committee chairs.

Coolio Passed Away!

Coolio passed away in Los Angeles.

The legendary rapper and actor Coolio passed away at the age of 59. The Associated Press had confirmed that the entertainer died unexpectedly. One of the biggest names in hip-hop in the 1990s, he made the smash hit, "Gangsta's Paradise" which came off the Dangerous Minds soundtrack.

Coolio's manager Jarez Posey said that Coolio passed away at a home of a friend in Los Angeles. The cause was not immediately clear. Coolio originally was member of WC and the Maad Circle, consisting of rap legend WC, his brother Big Gee and DJ Crazy Toones before striking it out on his own.

Coolio won a Grammy for best solo rap performance because of Gangsta Paradise.

The album sampled the Stevie Wonder track, "Pastime Paradise" and was considered an iconic song on MTV.

Coolio who stayed close to Tupac Shakur did not engage in the infamous "East Coast vs. West Coast" feud. The feud cost the lives of Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.

Born Artis Leon Ivey, Jr. in Monessen, Pennsylvania. He grew up in Pittsburgh as a child before he moved to Compton. He spent time in Northern California at some point of his teen years where his mother felt he would run into the wrong crowd if he stayed in Compton.

Coolio's single was parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic and it started a feud between the two. Weird Al and Coolio did end up making peace after nearly 10 years.

Coolio had also a part in acting.

His best known roles included Futurama, Coolio's Rules, Malcolm & Eddie, Static Shock, Batman & Robin and Judgment Day.

Coolio leaves behind six children.

Not Going Up!

Costco's Kirkland Hot dogs and Soda combo stays the same (for now). 

Costco is confirming that their $1.50 hot dog and soda combo will stay the same. 

Everything else might go up.

Costco members have gotten a beef hot dog and a Pepsi on their way out after purchasing bulk items from their local store. They had fears that with skyrocketing beef prices, the hot dogs are going to increase.

Costco CFO Richard Galanti was asked whether the retailer would look at increasing the price of its all-beef frank as it aims to deal with tightening margins.

"Some businesses that are doing well with margin ... those things help us be more aggressive in other areas, or, as you mentioned, hold the price on the hot dog and the soda a little longer — forever," he said.

Now other items in the food court have increased. Buying a pizza slice or a chicken bake have went up 20%.

I guess there's an offset to the cost of keeping things the way it is.

Dollar Tree had to break its Everything is a $1 pledge in 2020 during the pandemic. They have now started selling products at $1.25 or higher. They cited inflation, delivery costs and the supply chain. Also keeping good workers is also an issue as well.

Welcome To The Hood!

Party in the hood.

Florida looks like a penis and its governor is a dick.

As Hurricane Ian approaches Florida, the junk food media will take a moment from partisan noise to focus on the safety of 28 million residents living in the state most likely to experience massive climate change events.

Its governor Karen DeSantis is a controversial figure. He is considering a 2024 run.

He is likely to win his bid for reelection. We can stop it if we vote and vote like our lives depend on it. Vote for Charlie Crist. If he fails, Florida is no longer a swing state for Democrats and the likelihood the electoral college could favor Republicans in the near future.

DeSantis already facing heat for flying migrants seeking asylum to Massachusetts in a stunt to make issues about the border. Florida does not have a land border. It's closest countries are islands. The Bahamas and Cuba are countries that seem to not be on the mind of Florida's governor.

So a small controversy is brewing but it will likely stay on social media.

A Gadsden County official is out after a photo of him surfaces. He was wearing a full Klan outfit and his friends were partying in blackface.

The irony.

Gadsden County religious leaders are demanding a local commissioner and DeSantis "come forward" to address allegations that the commissioner resigned last Friday after a photo surfaced purportedly showing him wearing a Klan robe and hood at what could have been a Halloween party years earlier.

Klan Moore, a Havana resident and former Department of Revenue employee, was appointed by DeSantis in late July and abruptly resigned from the post in Florida’s only predominantly Black county after the photo began circulating in the local community. 

Moore, the only Republican on the five-member board, also ended his campaign for the District 2 race, which was to be decided in the Nov. 8 general election.
 
Three years ago, another DeSantis-appointed official resigned from office after a similar incident involving a leaked photo. Karen Ertel, the secretary of state, resigned after photos emerged of him posing as a Hurricane Katrina victim in blackface years earlier at a private Halloween party.

And They Will Likely Elect Her!

More noise from Georgia's least productive lawmaker.

Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) decides to flex her firearms and her noise once again in a bid for 2024.

Greene is considering a potential run for president. 

Instead of worrying about her constituents in her district, she heads to Texas for a feral hog shoot. The state has an invasive hog that is destroying farmland. That is something for the Texas delegation to deal with not a lawmaker from Georgia.

Greene decided on Tuesday to launched a competition to join her hunting for feral hogs in Texas. In a video shared on Facebook, the white nationalist lawmaker likened Democrats to the wild animals that tear up farmers’ crops.

“We’ve got skyrocketing inflation, high diesel fuel and Democrats’ America-last policies,” said Greene, who has been stripped of her House committee assignments over her use of violent rhetoric, including toward Democrats.

Instead of "stop socialism," now she reverts to "stop communism." She has no fucking clue what these economic terms means. She just wants to make sure you're scared of things.

Greene is one of 90 lawmakers who I deem as noise. They have no accomplishments other than appearing on television and social media stroking flames of division.

For every Greene, there's a do-nothing Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC), Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Karen Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Karen Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Bycoon Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Karen Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), Rep. Karen Van Duyne (R-TX), Rep. Karen Babbin (R-TX), Rep. Karen Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Karen Gosar (R-AZ) and Rep. Karen Miller (R-IL).

Lawmakers who do nothing more than noise. Ineffective, loud, divisive, destructive and potentially dangerous figures.

Some of these lawmakers will easily win their elections despite the controversies they carry. Some will move on to become commentators, activists or figures in a government role.

Greene is expected to win her bid for another term. If Republicans do retake the House, she will be given a committee and Republicans will strip Omar, Tlaib and Swalwell of their committee chairs.
