They Just Can't Leave Her Alone!

They won't stop until Meghan is dead.

You wonder why five Caribbean nations are seeking autonomy from the crown! 

British colonialism and the racist coverage of an African American woman who happens to married to a royal prince. She gave up her acting career because of love. 

The noise and the Royal Family are actively trying to break this up. 

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are preparing to hire attorneys to sue some of these British newspapers and tabloids. Cause the noise is driving them to a point where it could bring danger to the Sussex family.

Harry stated the media won't stop until she is dead. He said he is really protective of his wife. He saw what they done to his mother, Princess Diana and he sees history repeating itself.

In another edition of pointless anti-Meghan news, The Daily Mail claims that Spotify cancelled 11 podcasts to make room for Archetypes, the podcast hosted by Duchess Meghan. It is just trash.

Spotify has taken a nosedive because of Joe Rogan. The podcast is costly and his antics have driven revenue down. Many artists have pulled their catalogs from Spotify.

Meghan has nothing to do with the decisions of Spotify.

The Daily Mail gives the baseless impression that she magically told executives to cancel low rated podcasts to make her show the top feature. Just pathetic on Associated Newspapers Ltd.

She hosted Lisa Ling and Margaret Cho on the cultural appropriation and negative stereotypes of Asian Americans. The junk food media in Britian made it seem like Meghan was being an angry Black woman.

How long will this noise go?

I mean the Associated Newspapers, Ltd. got sued by the Duchess for leaking personal information without consent. What will it take for the far right tabloid to stop the noise?

Some of the racist headlines Markle was subjected to over the years included that she was "fueling human rights abuses, drought, and murder" for eating avocados and that her mother's hometown was "(almost) straight outta Compton" and "gang-scarred."

And it seems like The Daily Mail and its affiliate publications are going to be facing another round of lawsuits from Harry and Meghan. On top of that, Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Elton John and his husband David Furnish are going to put that noise on the stand.

The group claim they have been “the victims of abhorrent criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy by Associated Newspapers,” according to a press release from law firm Hamlins, which is representing Prince Harry and Frost.

What is classified as the most disrespectful towards the Duchess of Sussex?
Comparing Duchess Meghan to Princess Catherine.
Calling her Meghan Markle instead of her formal title, Duchess of Sussex.
Reporting asinine stories alleging Duchess Meghan was mean or hateful.
Constant reminders of how Duchess Meghan failed royal protocols.
American and British agitators finding some stupid excuse to justify hate towards Duchess Meghan.
White British and American trolls online constantly replying about Duchess Meghan.
King Charles III not formally condemning the attacks on Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.
All of these above.
Created with Supersurvey

John, Furnish, Hurley and Baroness Lawrence are repped by law firm Gunnercooke.

Court records show three separate lawsuits citing “misuse of private information” were filed against Associated in London’s High Court today (Oct. 6) by Gunnercooke on behalf of its clients. Prince Harry and Frost’s lawsuits have yet to appear in court records but Hamlins said that legal action has been launched.

Amongst the allegations, the group claim that Associated hired private investigators to bug their cars and homes, hired people to listen into their telephone conversations, paid police for inside information, impersonated staff at hospitals and clinics to obtain information and accessed bank accounts and financial transactions “through illicit means and manipulation.”

A spokesperson for Associated Newspapers told Variety: “We utterly and unambiguously refute these preposterous smears which appear to be nothing more than a pre-planned and orchestrated attempt to drag the Mail titles into the phone hacking scandal concerning articles up to 30 years old. These unsubstantiated and highly defamatory claims – based on no credible evidence – appear to be simply a fishing expedition by claimants and their lawyers, some of whom have already pursued cases elsewhere.”

The lawsuit will be the third Prince Harry has brought against Associated Newspapers in as many years. He has sued twice previously for libel and slander. At least one lawsuit is ongoing, regarding a story about Prince Harry’s bid for private security provided by the Metropolitan Police in the U.K. He won the first stage of the lawsuit in July.

Sasse Out!

Sasse to quit for cushy University of Florida job.

On a few occasions, Sen. Karen Sasse (R-NE) would do what's right when it came to calling out Washed Up 45. He joined six other Republicans in convicting the former president after he instigated a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, 2021.

Thanks to Sasse, I developed a nickname for Fox's most annoying media agitator

"Softball" Hannity. When Sasse called out the annoying agitator for being too cozy to Washed Up 45, the softball clapped back saying he would do "easy" interviews with Sasse just to prove he isn't a pompous asshole.

"In my first speech here in the Senate in November 2015, I promised to speak out when a president — even of my own party — exceeds his or her powers," he said. "I cannot go back on my word, and Congress cannot lower our standards on such a grave matter, simply because it is politically convenient. I must vote to convict."

Now Sasse fearing a primary challenge and the constant death threats decided the time is now to quit. He is expected to leave the Senate at the end of the year and it opens up a seat that Republicans will have to defend.

Sasse is expected to leave the Senate to take a job leading the University of Florida, the source said. Sasse and the university confirmed that he is in talks for the top job there after news broke Thursday.

The news was first reported by talk radio host Ian Swanson of KFAB in Omaha, Nebraska, a former Sasse staffer, who opened his show Thursday by announcing that his former boss would soon be resigning to take a job in academia.

Sasse eaisly won re-election in 2020, and his term is set to expire in 2027. Sasse has been at odds with Washed Up 45 and his own party for years. As Washed Up 45 ran for re-election in 2020, Sasse unloaded on him, saying Washed Up 45 "kisses dictators' butts," "flirted with white supremacists," disparages women, “mocks evangelicals behind closed doors" and "treats the presidency like a business opportunity."

"Those lies had consequences, endangering the life of the vice president and bringing us dangerously close to a bloody constitutional crisis. Each of these actions are violations of a president's oath of office," Sasse said.

I mean dude voted with the former president about 90% of the time. He supported the tax cuts. He has been a thorn to President Joe Biden. He opposed the bipartisan infrastructure bill but ended up claiming credit for projects that helped Nebraska constituents. He opposed the first African American woman to sit on the Supreme Court.

In a statement Thursday, Sasse called the University of Florida “the most important institution in the nation’s most economically dynamic state.”

“Washington partisanship isn’t going to solve these workforce challenges new institutions and entrepreneurial communities are going to have to spearhead this work,” Sasse said. “If UF wants to go big, I’m excited about the wide range of opportunities.”

And he still voted against confirming Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. 

It seems like having Sasse leave his job to be a part of the Gator community in Gainsville.

The University of Florida formally announced Thursday afternoon that its presidential search committee had unanimously selected Sasse as the “sole finalist” to lead the university.

“This is right for the University of Florida, right for the state of Florida and right for the Sasse family,” said Rahul Patel, the chair of the university's Presidential Search Committee. “Ben brings intellectual curiosity, a belief in the power and potential of American universities, and an unmatched track record of leadership spanning higher education, government and the private sector.”

The announcement kicks off a process, spelled out in Florida state law, that includes meetings between Sasse and officials in Gainesville, where the university is based.

After three weeks, the college’s board of directors will vote on the search panel’s recommendation; then the Florida board of governors will vote to approve the pick.

“We anticipate that will be accepted by the end of the year, and then he would resign before the end of the year and the Nebraska governor would select the replacement,” the source said.

The appointed senator would serve until Jan. 3, 2025. Because Sasse was just re-elected in 2020, a special election to fill the rest of his term would take place in 2024.

Sasse, 50, the former president of Midland University in Fremont, Nebraska, who served in President George W. Bush’s administration, was elected to the Senate in 2014.

Ye Riding The Back Of A Rabid Fox!

MAGA Noise.

The controversial media mogul continues to parade himself as one of those Black folks who ain't stuck between the Democrat Plantation.

I am reminded that Fox made a campaign of attacking rappers. Ludacris, Common, Jay-Z, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Cam'ron, Rick Ross and even this goofy ass were attacked by this far right extremist network.

This canard of noise continues to be a problem.

The Democratic Party does have a messaging problem. I mean they have worked so hard only to have these assholes in the Republican Party scream and whine their way back into power.

Leading the way are these goofy ass coons like Ye.

Kanye West appears on Fox to talk to its resident white nationalist about the junk food media covering him and Coondace Owens wearing that "White Lives Matter" jumper.

West doubled down on the noise and it certainly will have an impact on his record sales and possibly his popularity as a musical genius.

In other words, D.L. Hughley said it best, "Always take that person for their word."

Ye sat down for an interview with Fox host Karen Carlson Thursday night. In the interview, Ye addresses the media's "godless agenda."

This comes just days after Ye made headlines after wearing a White Lives Matter shirt during his YEEZY Season 9 fashion show in Paris. He told Fox, he was privately warned that people wearing the shirt would be assaulted, similar to how some people wearing Washed Up 45's "Make America Great Again" hat would be targeted in the past.

Fox only interviews rappers who bash Democrats.

"[They] said that I like Trump, that my career will be over, that my life would be over. They said stuff like people get killed for wearing a hat like that," Ye told Carlson Thursday.

Ye also explained his pro-life stance in the interview.

"I don't care about people's responses. I care about the fact that there's more Black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point, that 50% of Black Death in America is abortion. So I really don't care about people's response," he said.

The multi-talented artist gave a speech detailing the pushback he received as he entered the fashion industry while donning a shirt with "White Lives Matter" printed on the back in white lettering with people saying the Pope's face was emblazoned on the front.

According to TMZ, Ye landed at LAX from Paris and met with Carlson to discuss some talking points ahead of the interview. 

In addition to the "White Lives Matter" controversy, Ye is also under fire for comments he made on Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson after she shared her take on his show and the WLM apparel.

Trash Loesch: I Don't F*cking Care What [Herschel Walker] Did! We Need The Seat!

Cackling Karen defends Herschel Walker's blockhead antics. Called the woman a skank.

The most worthless media agitator in conservative media doesn't care what the blockhead did in his past. All she cares about is winning the seat and Republicans winning control of Congress.

That appears to be what the Republicans are about. They practically preach these ground rules to be a conservative only to abandon them when they are caught doing things that are never conservative.

Many of these noise makers on the far right are paid reasonably well to sow discourse.

We will talk about the death threats that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Sen. Karen Murkowski (R-AK) get when their names are mentioned by the noise of the far right.

The blockhead is doing damage control after an October Surprise came fast and furious.

Still 88% of the Georgia Republicans will basically vote for him. That means 48% of the voters will back him and it will lead to a run off.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) will have to defend himself from the noise. Herschel Walker will turn up the noise by using Fox and this worthless media agitator.

On Real America's Voices, a network for C-list conservative agitators, Karen Loesch said she doesn't care whether or not pro-life Walker paid for his girlfriend's abortion, saying what she wants is "control of the Senate."

Loesch called the woman a skank. 

It was revealed that Walker had paid for an abortion. On top of that, the woman is mother of one of Walker's children. Mind you, Walker failed to disclose he has two sons and a daughter. His known son, a sweet chicken named Christian Walker has turned on him. 

Walker’s Senate campaign already vexed political observers between his domestic violence history, false statements, and questions over his grasp on the issues. Still, the abortion story adds a new dimension to the previous reporting on how Walker secretly had children with multiple different women. To make things more serious, the Beast updated its reporting and said that Walker had a child with the woman claiming he paid her for the abortion.

As the story transpired, the sweet chicken has been ripping his father’s behavior apart on social media, portraying him as a violent, lying political hypocrite. Mr. Walker declined to respond to the core of his son’s remarks, and Republicans have re-affirmed their support for him despite the hypocrisy.

U.S. Secret Service Faces Heat Over Harris Motorcade Accident!

Secret Service motorcade had an accident with Vice President Kamala Harris riding. 

The U.S. Secret Service is doing a fucked up job when it comes to protecting the president, vice president and their families. The Biden Administration must look into this because a member could be a Washed Up 45 supporter and is willing to not do his/her duty to protect the leaders of the free world.

Vice President Kamala Harris was riding in a motorcade when her SUV struck a curb. It was no major damage and the vice president was whisked away into another vehicle. 

The spokesperson, Anthony Guglielmi, said the accident occurred when the vehicle carrying Harris overcorrected and hit a curb.

“During a protective movement Monday, a vehicle in a motorcade had a minor overcorrection and struck a curb,” Guglielmi said. “The protectee [Harris] was transferred to a secondary vehicle and the motorcade continued to its destination. There were no injuries to anyone.”

The Washington Post first reported the incident.

Radio traffic surrounding the incident, which was communicated to agency leaders by personnel supporting the motorcade, initially indicated that a mechanical failure had occurred, Guglielmi said.

"After the protective movement was completed, leadership was verbally updated with additional pertinent facts that the vehicle struck a curb," he said.

Harris’ press secretary, Kirsten Allen, confirmed the incident Wednesday.

“The Vice President sustained no injuries and appreciates the quick response by her USSS detail to get her to the White House safely,” Allen said in a statement.

Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff with Secret Service detail.

The miscommunication on the part of the Secret Service comes as the agency is already under criticism over how it has handled internal communications in the past.

The agency has been scrutinized for apparently having erased text messages surrounding the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol last year. After the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general launched a probe, senior leaders at the Secret Service confiscated the cellphones of 24 agents to give to the watchdog.

Guglielmi said Wednesday there would be no disciplinary action after the motorcade incident.

Mind you, the junk food media has you believing that she drove and she caused an accident. Since she is a high profile figure in the U.S., she has lifetime Secret Service protection.

The far-right loves to make noise about the first African American woman who is our first Vice President of the United States. They love to make noise about the Duchess of Sussex, a Black woman married to the British royal family.

The racism is live and well.

The same figures of the far right and far left try to paint either a dumb Black woman or an angry Black woman on Vice President Harris and Duchess Meghan. It is far from the truth and misleading.

No One F*cks With A Biden!

So I cuss! You got a problem?

Guess what?

President Joe Biden cusses.

The president was caught on a hot mic defending his family from the attacks of the far-right.

Mind you, the president has stayed silent on the conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden. He also is annoyed about the far-right's obsession with his health and mental fitness.

The far-right thinks Biden has dementia or cognitive decline. Mind you, none of them are doctors, scientists or psychologists.

However, they keep the noise going and the president does take that shit personal.

While visiting Fort Myers Beach, the president had a meeting with Ray Murphy. I am guessing they were talking about that asshole governor Karen DeSantis when he made that hot mic slip.

"No one fucks with a Biden," said the president 

"Yeah, you're goddamn right," Murphy said in response.

The pair laughed, shook hands and soon parted ways. It's unclear what they were discussing but one is to assume that the DeSantis and Biden presser did rub the president the wrong way.

DeSantis was being an asshole when he sent migrants seeking asylum to Martha's Vineyard in an attempt to drive noise about the U.S.-Mexican border.

President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, Karen and Casey DeSantis walk through the ruins of Fort Myers Beach.

The president had cussed before. He was annoyed with that Doocy guy from Fox. He called him a "stupid son of a bitch." The president later apologized to the douchebag. To this day, the White House has a contentious relationship.

Fox, a notorious far-right network best known for pushing Republican talking points, conspiracy theories and white nationalism.

Democrats have a counter to "Let's Go Brandon" or "Fuck Joe Biden."

They call it "Dark Brandon" or "Fuck Conservatives, Biden Wins!"

Back in October 2021, NBC Sports reporter Kellie Stavast interviewed Brandon Brown. She didn't hear the crowd chanting "Fuck Joe Biden." She thought it was "Let's Go Brandon!" So thus, the far-right took it and used it as a meme. Now the far-right uses that meme to insult the president.

Brown has lost endorsements because of the noise. He thought it was funny to endorse a bitcoin called the FJB Coin. NASCAR warned racers that politics and extremism is not going to fly if they are racing.

Meth Head Kennedy Keep Telling Voters To Call A Crackhead If You Hate The Police!

Takes one to know one.

Ignore the noise.

Vote.

Sen. Karen N. Kennedy (R-LA) is a slack jawed cracka. He looks like a meth head and they elected him to represent the state of Louisiana. He is deliberately baiting his Democratic opponent with noise.

Kennedy released his third televised ad of his re-election campaign recently.

One line in the ad is being shared across social media. The senator says, “Look, if you hate cops just because they’re cops, the next time you’re in trouble, call a crackhead.”

A spokesperson with Kennedy’s campaign says, “The ad outlines Kennedy’s record of fighting crime, supporting law enforcement, and working to make Louisiana communities safe. Kennedy has an extensive track record of combatting crime and was recently endorsed by the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association.”

“Violent crime is surging in Louisiana. Woke leaders blame the police. I blame the criminals. I voted against the early release of violent criminals, and I opposed defunding the police because I know the difference between criminals and their innocent victims,” said Kennedy in the new political advertisement.

But some people think the “crackhead” line in the advertisement goes a little overboard.

“The fact that something like that would be said to make fun of people who are dying with everything that’s going on in our community,” said Tonja Myles. “Being a person in recovery and being an ex-crackhead, I was very offended, and I thought that went too far.”

You’ve probably heard of Tonja Myles’ journey before. She’s a certified peer support specialist, as well as a substance abuse and mental health advocate here in the Baton Rouge area.

Myles first posted a video response to the new campaign ad, on her Facebook page Sunday.

“I was appalled, I was triggered, I was mad, I was sad, and I was hurt. I had just walked in my house from having a conversation with a mom, who just lost her son to a fentanyl overdose. Who was using crack cocaine and some other drugs and did not know fentanyl was in it,” said Myles.

Before WAFB was set to interview Tonja Monday afternoon, she says someone from Senator John Kennedy’s office actually called her.

“They wanted to have a conversation and I told them I will get back with them. Because that’s a conversation I don’t mind having. And I told them I don’t mind having the conversation, but my ask is still going to be the same, take it down,” said Myles.

Myles still believes the senator could have used a different term. Especially with the high overdose rates in the Greater Baton Rouge area.

“And we wonder why people don’t come out and talk about addiction or talk about mental health in our community, because of things like this. And we have to do better,” said Myles.

A spokesperson with the senator’s campaign says, the ad touts his ‘extensive track record of combatting crime.’

“Kennedy voted to support law enforcement and keep violent criminals, including rapists and murderers, behind bars. Kennedy has consistently opposed radical efforts to defund and disrespect the police. Kennedy has helped pass laws to aggressively prosecute sexual predators,” that news release from Kennedy’s campaign stated, along with other examples of what the senator has accomplished during his time in Washington D.C.

But a lot of people across Louisiana believe Senator Kennedy just tells it like it is, and that’s why they support him.

“[The former president] once said that he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and still win an election. I think John Kennedy can talk about crackheads and weed killer all day long and still win an election,” said WAFB political analyst Jim Engster.

12 other candidates are trying to unseat Kennedy.

That includes Democrats Gary Chambers and Luke Mixon, who are already attacking the recent ad by the senator.

“We have to address violent crime. We do that by funding our police departments. Senator Kennedy voted against $350 billion in funding for local police departments. To paraphrase Senator Kennedy, watch what people do, not just their embarrassing one-liners,” said Luke Mixon (D), candidate for U.S. Senate.

In a video posted on twitter, Gary Chambers Jr. (D) called the senator a ‘Walking dog whistle.’

“But it’s also racist as hell, and he didn’t say nothing about opioid addicts, meth addicts, none of that other stuff. Because he was trying to talk about a specific sub-set of people, that he doesn’t give a damn about serving in Louisiana,” said Chambers in the social media video.

“Right now, John Kennedy can say just about anything he wants and he’s headed for re-election. The question is whether he’ll be in the governor’s race next year,” said Engster.

There’s still no word on if Senator Kennedy will chose to face his challengers in a debate.

We don’t have any announcements to make at this time,” said Jess Andrews, Communications Director for U.S. Senator John N. Kennedy on Monday.

And political analyst Jim Engster does not expect him to debate.

“The only way he would debate potentially would be in a runoff and even that would be highly doubtful. So John Kennedy with five weeks to go, can say anything he wants. And he’s good at soundbites and he’s showing it. And look for him to be around for a long time, at least six more years,” said Engster.

Engster says Kennedy has already raised more than $40 million, and there’s a good chance he could win with more than 60% of the votes in five weeks.

“He’s a senator who’s popular in Louisiana, and it would take a cataclysmic collapse for him to lose this race,” he said.

The primary election is set for November 8.

Early voting begins on October 25.

The Noise Ye Makes!

Keep on trolling.
Ignore the noise.

Vote.

I haven't bought a Kanye West album since his collaboration album with Jay-Z. 

I admit that single Easy with The Game was dope. But the dope, The Game tried to aim his venom at Eminem and it already tanked him. 

Ye or Yeezy is telling his white supporters that white lives matter. He is telling his Black supporters that Black Lives Matter is a scam and it is over now.

He wears a jacket saying White Lives Matter while holding hands with that ashy bitch Coondace Owens.

He runs a scam school called Donda Academy in Simi Valley, California.

His ex-wife, Kim Kardashian tried to scam her followers with a bitcoin and the Security and Exchanges Commission made her an example.

His ex-stepfather-in-law, transgender buffoon Caitlyn Jenner says that transgender Americans should stop trying to change the status quo. He said if you're biologically born a male, you have to play the sports of the gender. Of course, y'all were praising this fool despite her idiotic run for governor and the fatal accident where then Bruce Jenner killed two women while driving reckless on the Pacific Coast Highway.

He stalked his ex-wife when she briefly dated comedian Pete Davidson. 

Ye has bipolar issues and violent fits when he is upset.

He severed ties with The Gap and Adidas because he believes they are not supportive of his projects and his politics.

Ye has severed ties with Big Sean, Common, Kid Cudi, John Legend, Beyonce and Jay-Z.

They keep the noise going.

Ye became a huge supporter of Washed Up 45. He even tried to run a sham presidential run to siphon Black votes from Joe Biden. He teamed up with Owens to create this Blaxit movement. It was a scam to encourage Black Americans to abandon the Democratic Party and join the extremists within the Republican Party.

His fashion show in Paris managed to raise eyebrows. 

Ye’s long-sleeved black T-shirt with bold white writing on the back served one purpose immediately: getting outlets to write about Ye’s presentation. But when Owens’ long-sleeved white version joined the mix, with the same message rendered in black type, the story got more complex.

Each shirt bore the image of a pope. Owens’ had Pope John Paul I, whose 33-day tenure at the Vatican was among history’s shortest, while Ye’s showed Pope John Paul II, the long-tenured pontiff who died in 2005 and was canonized as a saint in 2014.

Both shirts had the words “Juan Pablo” at the bottom — Ye’s had a “II” as well — and up top, the Spanish words “Seguiremos Tu Ejemplo”: “We will follow your example.”

And people on social media Had Thoughts, from tweets about how the duo was “living rent free in a bunch of Leftist heads right now” to remarks about how they were “standing in solidarity for ignorance” and “You don’t have to be white to uphold white supremacy and anti-Blackness.” On Twitter, there were many more comments in line with the latter comments than the first one, with the ratio running in the other direction on Truth Social.

White Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter and whatever else the far-right uses in their cultural appropriation is doing their best to denounce the struggles Black men and women face when they're dealing with racism and police violence.

Kanye West not only claimed that Black Lives Matter was a ‘scam,’ but he also seemingly took credit for moving the discussion away from the movement and onto himself, just a day after debuting and wearing a "White Lives Matter" shirt at his Yeezy fashion show in Paris.

Ye, as the rapper prefers to be called, shared in a since-deleted Instagram story, "Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it's (sic) over. You're welcome."

Loretta Lynn Passed Away!

Loretta Lynn passed away at her Tennessee ranch.

Loretta Lynn, who was born a coal miner’s daughter before becoming one of the crown jewels of country music, has died.

She was 90.

Lynn’s family said in a statement that she died Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.

“Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home in her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills,” the family said in a statement. They asked for privacy.

Born as Loretta Webb in the remote Appalachian mountain village of Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, she was the second of eight children, and the family lived in a log cabin with wallpaper made out of Sears Roebuck catalog pages. Her early life revolved around the coal mine where her father toiled and the church where she learned to sing. That hardscrabble beginning helped lay the groundwork for her status as the voice of working class women — most famously through her signature 1970 hit, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” an ode to her father, Melvin Webb, who died of black lung disease 11 years earlier.

“I write about my life — in every song I’ve written,” Lynn told TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager in 2018.

“I would have given anything in the world if he (my father) would have been here when I recorded 'Coal Miner’s Daughter,' but I think he hears me,” Lynn told Hager. “And one day I will sing it for him.”

There was plenty of talent in that family: Her younger sister went on to have an enormously successful country career of her own under the name Crystal Gayle.

By the time Lynn moved to Nashville in 1960 on the strength of her debut single “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl,” as well as a tireless promotional crusade to radio stations across the country, she had already racked up a life worth of lyrics.

Just 15 when she married a 21-year-old war veteran Oliver “Doolittle” Lynn — she erroneously reported that she wed at the age of 13 in her autobiography — she was a housewife in Washington with four young children when a scout for Zero Records discovered her crooning in a small club in Vancouver.

Once she made that cross-country pilgrimage to the Music City, her rise was meteoric.

Lynn’s breakthrough came two years later with the aptly titled tune “Success,” the first for Decca Records and the first of an eventual 51 top-10 hits.

“People were charmed by her innocence,” country author and documentary filmmaker Robert K. Oermann said. “She was so naive about life and the business and the music, that she came off as charming to people.

“Well, that and the fact that she was a hell of a singer.”

With country pioneer Patsy Cline as a friend and mentor until she died in a 1963 plane crash, Lynn wrote and sang songs that appealed to women. She quickly realized that most of the audience listening to country radio at the time and buying albums were women like her. Songs such as “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)” and “Your Squaw Is on the Warpath” found resonance.

“Women found the champion with Loretta Lynn,” country music historian Bill Malone told NBC News. “They could identify with her success but they also independence of mind.

“I don’t think she ever identified with the women’s rights movement, yet her songs accomplished the same objective.”

At the height of her career, Lynn, along with Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette, proved to be the biggest female stars in country music. One of her biggest hits came on a 1972 duet with Conway Twitty, “After the Fire Is Gone.”

Lynn also proved unfazed by controversy, releasing songs glorifying sex (“Wings Upon Your Horns”), divorce (“Rated X”), questioning the Vietnam War (“Dear Uncle Sam”) and most famously, “The Pill,” about birth control.

Her signature 1970 hit “Coal Miner’s Daughter” became the title of her 1976 autobiography, which was turned into the Oscar-winning 1980 film with Sissy Spacek as the lead.

In 1972, Lynn became the first woman in history to win the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year trophy, and she would add a mantle’s worth of hardware to go with it over the years — four Grammys, a 2003 Kennedy Center honor, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom a decade later. Over her six-decade career, Lynn sold more than 45 million albums, according to her personal website.

After the turn of the century, Lynn found a second act of sorts from the success of a 2004 collaboration with Jack White. Her reputation as a champion of women, however, took a hit in 2017 when the Trump supporter took a shot at the celebrities involved with the Women’s March for not having “more class.”

Health issues dominated more recent headlines. At the age of 85, she suffered a stroke and then broke her hip in a fall eight months later.

Widowed since 1996, Lynn is survived by four children — Clara, Ernest, and twins Peggy Jean and Patsy Eileen. Her eldest son, Jack Benny, drowned in 1984 at the age of 34 while trying to cross a river on horseback on the family ranch; eldest daughter Betty Sue, 64, died of emphysema in 2013.

Lynn also leaves behind legions of fans spread across generations.

“She was singing it like the women listening to her lived it,” said Oermann. “‘Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin,’ that’s a situation that millions of women have been in and relate to.”

The Walkers: Sweet Chicken And The Blockhead!

Christian Walker nails his dad for lying about his children and the abortion.

I have the Georgia senate race as LEAN DEMOCRAT.

Republicans will still vote for him regardless. They hate Democrats so much, they will ignore the controversies of many of these Republicans. The controversial Republican nominee for the Georgia senate race and his deadbeat troll son are a joke.

It was revealed that the Republican had numerous children from relationships. He has a daughter and two other sons from previous relationships. He also face scrutiny over his abusive behavior towards his ex-wife and numerous women he dated in the past. He also admits that he has mental health issues due to his years playing NFL football and mixed martial arts. He also admits to have a multiple personality disorder where he may act in different personalities.

Herschel Walker is a blockhead and Christian Walker is a sweet chicken. Both are doofuses and supporters of the white nationalist idiot, Washed Up 45. 

It appears that Sweet Chicken had enough of the blockhead. 

While he stuck in Florida being miserable, Christian decided to take issue with The Daily Beast and his dad over allegations he paid for his former girlfriend's abortion.

The Daily Beast brought out some bombshell revelations about Walker convincing a girlfriend to get a termination. The woman who remains anonymous handed the publication a receipt.

Walker went to Fox to denounce the news and blamed the Democrats for making it a dirty campaign.

Walker's deadbeat son who is an internet troll who generates thousands of followers on TikTok and Twitter rambles about how his dad's dirty laundry would be a liability. He said that was supportive of his dad but warned him to not run because the noise would destroy him.

He went as far to say that his dad abandoned him and his mother.

It was ugly.

Dad responded with the words, "I Love My Son No Matter What!"

Herschel Walker moved from Texas to set up shop in his momma's basement after Washed Up 45 said that he felt that a "real Black man" could take on Sen. Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. The church in Atlanta is where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. got his name recognition as a civil rights leader.

If King was alive, the Republicans and far-right would hate him with a passion.

The far-right and the cultural appropriators would alter his stances and play on the one only thing they've learned. They took a part of his "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom" speech and often exploit the phrases of the "I Have a Dream" speech.

Walker's stupidity is a liability all itself. However, if we don't get our asses out to vote, he could win. October Surprises are amazing. They come at a point when you are at the peak of mountain. You either climb it or fall off it.

Vote.

Ignore the noise.

Sacheen Littlefeather Passed Away!

Sacheen Littlefeather passed away from breast cancer.

A tireless fighter for Native American and indigenous people has passed away.

Sacheen Littlefeather sacrificed her career for the rights of indigenous people who were being portrayed as savages and murderous Indians. It earned the rage of a white bigot actor who we knew as The Duke.

When Marlon Brando boycotted the Oscars in 1973, Sacheen took the stage in his place and refused to accept the award. She spoke on behalf of him and urged the movie and entertainment industry to change the description to the Native Americans.

Born Marie Louise Cruz, Sacheen Littlefeather was the daughter of [Apache and Yaqui] father and a white mother. During the 1969 occupation of Alcatraz, she became involved in the Native American activist community.

Brando and Littlefeather showed support to the Native Americans who stood off against the U.S. government in the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota.

The Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences had recently apologized to her before her passing. The formally apologized for the negative reaction she received during the acceptance speech.

She spoke an ugly truth and it riled up John Wayne.

She died peacefully at home in Marin County, Calif., surrounded by loved ones, the academy said. She was suffering from breast cancer, her family said. 

In a tweet with word of her death, the academy quoted her as saying, "When I am gone, always be reminded that whenever you stand for truth, you will be keeping my voice and the voices of our nations and our people alive. I remain Sacheen Littlefeather. Thank you."

Her family said Sunday that Littlefeather turned down the Oscar on Brando's behalf in an effort to "end the stereotyping of Native people in the film, television, and sports industries."

"As a result, Sacheen was professionally boycotted, personally harassed and attacked, and discriminated against for nearly 50 years," the statement continued.  

She was booed by some in the Oscars audience. John Wayne, who was backstage, was reportedly furious.

And in a 2021 interview with The Guardian, Littlefeather said, "During my presentation, [Wayne] was coming towards me to forcibly take me off the stage, and he had to be restrained by six security men to prevent him from doing so."

She also told The Guardian people were imitating stereotypical war cries and making offensive hand gestures when she arrived backstage.

The academy said Sunday "her presence on the Academy Awards stage, widely acknowledged to be the first political Oscars speech, also brought attention to the AIM [American Indian Movement] protests at Wounded Knee in South Dakota" at the time.

In June, the Academy formally apologized for her treatment by Hollywood in a letter from then-Academy President David Rubin.
Calls to have John Wayne's name removed from Orange County International Airport are growing.


"The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified," Rubin wrote. "The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration."

Littlefeather said in a statement that it was "profoundly heartening to see how much has changed since I did not accept the Academy Award 50 years ago."

In September, what the family described as a "heartfelt honoring" was held at the Academy Museum's David Geffen Theater in Los Angeles "with a sold-out audience in attendance."

"Even though many people were judgmental of Sacheen and treated her in a negative way, she forgave them all, did not hold grudges, and moved on with her life in a positive way, showing everyone love and forgiveness," the family said.

According to the family, Littlefeather was a model and an actress known for roles in "Billy Jack" in 1974, "Winterhawk" the following year, "Reel Injun" in 2010 and "Sacheen: Breaking The Silence," in 2018.

A Requiem Mass for Littlefeather is scheduled for later this month at St. Rita Church in Fairfax, Calif.

The "Q" Mmintment To America: The "Q" Print To Save America!

White thoughts and prayers.

If we can scream open borders, critical race theory, socialism, Nancy Pelosi, Green New Deal and Hillary Clinton, we can win?

This is the noise I've talked about. Irrelevant talk about issues to keep Americans upset about things that don't affect their lives.

Republicans have a plan if they retake Congress. Their main goal is to grind government to a halt so they can blame the Democrats for an economic collapse.

They want to drive President Joe Biden nuts with endless conspiracy fueled investigations into Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton as well as troll Democrats with commitments to end the filibuster in the Senate.

They also have an agenda that will make America more divisive.

They want to first end the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and National Labor Relations Board. They want to knee cap the Environmental Protection Agency when it comes to climate change and regulations when it comes to pollution and safety.

They want to give gun owners more rights by allowing a national conceal carry law to be established. They want to make it legal for gun owners to traffic firearms across state lines.

They want to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act which includes the lowering of prescription drug prices, the expansion of Medicare and Medicaid.

They want to eliminate federal funding to medical coverage for veterans who want to transition. They clearly want to keep the definition of biological male and biological female in tact. They do not want to give transgender Americans funds for medical expenses. They want to prohibit transgender girls and women from playing in women sports. They also want to keep federal funds from studies on transgender children.

They want to eliminate states from holding early voting. They want to keep early voting to five days or outright make it only allowed on Election Day. 

They want to end the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (food stamps and farm aid). They want to eliminate free school meals, make it a mandatory job search for food assistance, tracking for fraud and waste, make drug testing for any assistance and eliminate food programs to feed the hungry. They want to end veterans assistance when it comes to food assistance.

They want to end birthright citizenship. Part of the white nationalist playbook to stop immigration and non-whites from becoming a majority in the country. They want to end automatic citizenship for children born to immigrant parents. Basically an attempt to curb any attempts to muster up the DREAM Act and end immigration reform. They want to push for more white nationalist policies aimed at stopping immigrants at the U.S.-Mexican border and those who lived in Muslim-majority countries. It also likely is aiming to punish companies and employees who criticize Israel. Several states have laws on the book that prohibit criticism of Israel. The Republicans want a federal law that prohibits Israeli criticism.

They want to eliminate Title X which ends funding for Planned Parenthood and also make abortions illegal nationwide. They want to stop stem cell research and make termination illegal after a detected heartbeat.

The Republicans are basically running on conspiracy theories and culture war noise.

Ignore the noise.

Vote.
