The U.S. House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will likely cover interviews with the wife of Supreme Court Clarence Thomas, the U.S. Secret Service, media agitators who instigated the attack and Washed Up 45's lame attempts to overturn his loss to Joe Biden.
Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY) was defeated in her primary. Rep. Karen Kinzinger (R-IL) retired from his seat. Democrats fear they may loose the House of Representatives.
So they will wrap up the loose ends and produce a final outcome to recommendations for the U.S. Justice Department to pursue criminal charges.
Conservatives are hoping to distract from the hearing to focus on President Joe Biden. As I am posting, the noise is complaining about "loving his son" for Pete's sake.
No live witnesses.
The president signed a gun reform bill, gas prices are dropping, inflation seems to be cooling off, a good jobs report and debt is down. Yet, we're talking about polls and who will run in 2024 as the Democratic nominee if Biden decides not to run.
All noise.
Distractions from real issues like the Supreme Court trying to rollback rights.
I think it could be over for the conspiracy theorist and his InfoWars network. He is literally going to find out that the truth is not a conspiracy and his words will have actions.
Ignore the noise.
VOTE.
Vote to save democracy.
Far right agitator and conspiracy theorist is pretty much fucked. He is held liable for the slanders, lies and misinformation about the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
Let's catch up!
On Dec. 14, 2012, shortly after President Barack Obama won his reelection, a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This white terrorist murdered 26 people. Six teachers and 20 students died when this asshole entered the school with a semi-automatic firearm. This was one of the worst mass shootings in country.
Almost as the shooting started picking up national coverage, that conspiracy theorist immediately denounced it as a "false flag" and "hoax." He claimed that the victims were "crisis actors."
Now on Wednesday he was ordered to pay nearly $1 billion to Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims’ relatives and an FBI agent, who said he turned their loss and trauma into years of torment by promoting the lie that the rampage was a hoax.
The $965 million verdict is the second big judgment against the Infowars host for spreading the myth that the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history never happened, and that the grieving families seen in news coverage were actors hired as part of a plot to take away people’s guns.
The verdict came in a defamation lawsuit filed by some of the families of 26 people who were killed in the 2012 shooting, plus an FBI agent who was among the first responders. A Texas jury in August awarded nearly $50 million to the parents of another slain child.
Robbie Parker, who lost his 6-year-old daughter, Emilie, said outside the Connecticut court that he was proud that “what we were able to accomplish was just to simply tell the truth.”
“And it shouldn’t be this hard, and it shouldn’t be this scary,” said Parker, who became an early target of conspiracy theorists after he spoke at a news conference the day after the shooting. The jury awarded him the most of any plaintiff: $120 million.
wasn’t at court but reacted on his Infowars show.
As courtroom video showed the jury awards being read out, the conspiracy theorist said that he himself had never mentioned the plaintiffs’ names.
“All made up. Hilarious,” he said. “So this is what a show trial looks like. I mean, this is the left completely out of control.”
His lawyer, Norm Pattis, portrayed the trial as unfair and pledged to appeal.
“Today is a very, very, very dark day for freedom of speech,” he said outside court.
The jury awarded various sums to the victims’ relatives, who testified that they were threatened and harassed for years by people who believed the lies told on his show. Strangers showed up at the families’ homes to record them. People hurled abusive comments on social media.
Mark Barden testified that conspiracy theorists urinated on the grave of his 7-year-old son, Daniel, and threatened to dig up the coffin; Barden and his wife were together awarded about $86 million. Now-retired FBI Agent William Aldenberg, awarded $90 million, described the horror he saw at the school as he responded alongside other law enforcement, and his outrage at seeing online claims that he was an actor.
Erica Lafferty, the daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, testified that people mailed rape threats to her house.
“I wish that after today, I can just be a daughter grieving my mother and stop worrying about the conspiracy theorists,” Lafferty said outside court. But she predicted that the conspiracy theorist “hate, lies and conspiracy theories will follow both me and my family through the rest of our days.”
To plaintiff William Sherlach, the verdict “shows that the internet is not the wild, wild West, and that your actions have consequences.”
He had testified about seeing online posts that falsely posited that the shooting was a hoax; that his slain wife, school psychologist Mary Sherlach, never existed; that he was part of a financial cabal and somehow involved with the school shooter’s father; and more. He told jurors the shooting deniers’ vitriol made him worry for his family’s safety.
“Going forward — because, unfortunately, there will be other horrific events like this — people like Alex Jones will have to rethink what they say,” Sherlach said.
Testifying during the trial, the conspiracy theorist acknowledged he had been wrong about Sandy Hook. The shooting was real, he said. But in the courtroom and on his show, he was defiant.
He called the proceedings a “kangaroo court,” mocked the judge, called the plaintiffs’ lawyer an ambulance chaser and labeled the case an affront to free speech rights. He claimed it was a conspiracy by Democrats and the media to silence him and put him out of business.
“I’ve already said ‘I’m sorry’ hundreds of times, and I’m done saying I’m sorry,” he told jurors.
Twenty children and six adults died in the shooting on Dec. 14, 2012; relatives of five children and three educators sued in Connecticut. The trial was held at a courthouse in Waterbury, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Newtown, where the attack took place.
The lawsuit accused the conspiracy theorist and Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, of using the mass killing to build his audience and make millions of dollars. Experts testified that his audience swelled, as did his revenue from product sales, when he made Sandy Hook a topic on the show.
In both the Texas and Connecticut lawsuits, judges found the company liable for damages by default after the conspiracy theorist failed to cooperate with court rules on sharing evidence, including failing to turn over records that might have showed whether Infowars had profited from knowingly spreading misinformation about mass killings.
Because he was already found liable, the conspiracy theorist was barred from mentioning free speech rights and other topics during his testimony.
He now faces a third trial, in Texas, in a lawsuit filed by the parents of another child killed in the shooting.
It is unclear how much of the verdicts he can afford to pay. During the trial in Texas, he testified he couldn’t afford any judgment over $2 million, and his lawyers plan to appeal and try to reduce the damages there. Free Speech Systems has filed for bankruptcy protection.
But an economist testified in the Texas proceeding that the conspiracy theorist and his company were worth as much as $270 million.
A lawyer for the families in the Connecticut case, Josh Koskoff, said that “if this verdict shuts down Alex Jones, good.”
“He’s been walking in the shadow of death to try to profit on the backs of people who have just been devastated,” Koskoff said. “That is not a business model that should be sustainable in the United States.”
Washed up agitator poked the hornet's nest. She decided to call a prominent Black journalist and progressive agitator a racist because she dared to call out NFL owners for allowing players to literally kill themselves for sports and entertainment.
Don't worry, she will respond on The Cross Connection to the noise.
The woman who said Jesus and Santa Claus is white.
The woman who said that wearing blackface was not a big deal.
The woman who tried to bait D.L. Hughley into supporting racist cops.
The woman who called Naomi Osaka, a drama queen when she said that doing pressers triggered a nervous breakdown.
The woman who is willing to push Black on whatever crime while working on Fox.
The woman who host a conspiracy theorist who once claimed that Sandy Hook was a hoax and now is paying for it due to his noise causing harm to the victim's families.
NBC fired this trash and we thought she would never come back again.
Tiffany Cross is going to respond.
She slowly grew her serpent head by interviewing the Russian propagandist who accused Joe Biden of sexual assualt. She hosted one of the former Fox agitators who allegedly sexually harassed women. She was one of the reasons why the late bastard Roger Ailes and that sexual predator O'Reilly were fired from Fox.
Now on SiriusXM's newest far right platform Triumph, Karen Kelly decides to aim her snake venom into MSNBC weekend host Tiffany Cross.
Kelly lambasted Cross — calling her a “dumbass” and “the most racist person on television” — after she described the NFL’s handling of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion as an issue of race.
Kelly’s comments, on the Tuesday edition of SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, came in response to Cross’s Saturday comments in which she called Tagovailoa’s continued participation in the game an example of the league’s disregard for the well-being of Black players.
“To see all these Black men crashing into each other with a bunch of White owners, White coaches, and the complete disregard for Black bodies and Black life,” said Cross. “I mean, it just represents a larger issue.”
The Dolphins player suffered from a serious fall during a game on September 25th but was later cleared to continue playing.
After numerous medical evaluations in the days following, Tagovailoa was cleared to play in a game on September 29th where he once again hit his head, this time resulting in a concussion.
On Tuesday, Kelly called Cross’s take “stunningly racist,” and noted that Tagovailoa is from Hawaii and of Samoan heritage.
“He’s not Black. Hello? You dumbass, Tiffany Cross,” Kelly said. “She’s the most racist person on television. It’s amazing. Maybe she just doesn’t see color. Anyway, he’s not Black, but according to her he is. Oh, and by the way, his coach isn’t White either.”
Finally, someone who has the balls to call out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), David Hogg, Cam Kasky, Marc Lamont Hill, Jeffrey Shaun King, David Sirota, Nina Turner, Katie Halper, and every white leftist associated with them who are trying to depress the vote.

The only power they have now is what we give them. They have earned nothing. Their predictions were completely wrong. They’ve learned nothing and spout the same demented rhetoric. Their political fantasies are MAGA-lite and strategically full ‘defund’ holes socialism and nonsense
He put Andrew Yang in his place. He called out Karen Gabbard and numerous noise makers on the extreme left. Gabbard, a failed president candidate now a far right agitator announced she was leaving the Democratic Party.
Paul Begala wrote an opinion back in July saying that the noise on the left are doing the Republicans work.
He wrote some in the Democratic Party are complaining about the President and his approach to governance. Warren and Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) have called on Biden to declare a national emergency over the rollback of abortion rights and to set up abortion clinics on federal land – despite the legal ban on federal funding for most abortions, and the reality that such a move could put doctors and women at risk of arrest when they depart federal land within a state that has outlawed abortion.
“We need our president at this moment to step up and remind everyone that we Democrats don’t believe the government should be making a decision about whether to continue a pregnancy,” Warren told Politico on June 27 – three days after Biden had already issued a statement decrying the “devastating consequences” of the court’s ruling, calling on Congress to codify Roe and announcing executive action to protect women’s rights to travel to seek abortions and to protect access to medication that induces abortion.
Bush, best known for her "Suck it up, 'defund the police'" rant gave voice to the exasperation of many progressives, telling the Washington Post, “They [Democrats] just aren’t fighting. When people see that, what’s going to make them show up to vote? We can’t just tell people, ‘Well, just vote – vote your problems away.’ Because they’re looking at us and saying, ‘Well, we already voted for you.’”
Begala shares the frustration but he is getting sick and tired of the extreme left going down the path of the extreme right.
Begala basically said that Sanders, Warren, Hogg, King, Sirota and Halper are pain in the ass liberals who are not the base of the party. He even included Bush, Turner, Ocasio-Cortez and Yang as enablers of white leftist bullshit.
On CNN Tonight, Begala downs the noise about Biden being too old to run and the need for someone new in 2024. By the way, Biden confirms he is running in 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris is not being replaced. She is not running as a candidate. Gov. Gavin Newsom of California is not running for president. Hillary Clinton is not running for president. Sanders has considered another run.
Finally someone shutting down Andrew Yang's noise.
So Yang, a failed candidate for president and mayor of New York City wants to lecture us about running for something.
Yang noted if Biden runs again, it is unlikely he will get a primary challenge from a household Democratic name. Therefore, he said, more unconventional candidates may try to wrest the nomination from Biden.
"So, you know who might run if they actually have an open process?" Yang said. "People who are already outside of the establishment. Someone like Nina Turner, someone like Marianne Williamson. And if you have just a Nina Turner versus Joe Biden, Nina Turner ends up gathering a significant amount of support, just ideologically. And the last thing the DNC is going to want is for Joe Biden to have to debate Nina turner six times. So, they’ll shut that thing down."
Begala scoffed.
"She can run," Begala said, before citing her time with Sanders’ unsuccessful 2020 campaign.
"So, bring it on," he continued. "What the hell are you worried about? You’re not a Democrat anymore, but I am. And as a guy who loves Joe Biden, that’s fine. He’ll steamroll any potential Democrat and then go on and beat Trump."
Yang said Biden may not have enough in the tank to run again.
"I spoke before or after Joe Biden half a dozen times," he said, referring to the 2020 debates. "And the fact is, when he came off that stage, you know what people were not saying? That guy has the energy, the vigor–"
"All of a sudden he developed it," Begala interrupted. "You’re missing the most important thing, Andrew. The early states are full of white liberals. They don’t like Joe. And then we move to real Democrats – African Americans in the south, they loved him. And he steamrolled everybody because in my party, the heart and soul of the party are people of color, not pain-in-the-ass white liberals on Twitter. I’m sorry to use bad language."
He added that African Americans are "the heart of my party."
Dame Angela Lansbury died peaceful in Los Angeles.
Iconic actress and singer Angela Lansbury passed away a few days shy of her 97th birthday. The celebrated entertainer passed away in her sleep in Los Angeles. The family confirmed that the beloved entertainer who starred in numerous films and television shows was peaceful in passing.
She was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema at the time of her death. She is the recipient of numerous accolades, including six Tony Awards (including Lifetime Achievement Award), six Golden Globe Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award and the Academy Honorary Award, in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards, eighteen Primetime Emmy Awards and a Grammy Award.
"The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30am today, Tuesday October 11th, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday" said her family in a statement issued to NBC News and PEOPLE.
Lansbury's lead role as amateur detective Jessica Fletcher on the CBS drama, "Murder, She Wrote" made her something of an iconic entertainer.
Born in London in 1925, Angelea was the daughter of Moyna MacGill, an actress in her own right and socialist politician Edgar Lansbury. Her father died of stomach cancer when she turned 9 years old. In 1940, her mother and family moved to the U.S. to flee the Nazis conquest of Europe.
At the age of 17, she was offered an opportunity. She met screenwriter John Van Drutenat at a party her mother hosted. She played the role of a conniving maid in a 1944 thriller called "Gaslight."
She earned her an Oscar nomination at the age of 20.
Lansbury signed an executive deal with MGM. She was making $500 a week.
She had participated in films like "National Velvet" with Elizabeth Taylor, "The Harvey Girls" with Judy Garland, "If Winter Comes" with Deborah Kerr, "State of The Union" with Katharine Hepburn, "Kind Lady" with Ethel Barrymore, and "Season of Passion" with Anne Baxter.
She also had an iconic role in "The Manchurian Candidate" with Elvis Presley. Despite only being 10 years older than Presley, Lansbury managed to pull it off the role of a manipulative mother. That role made her feel like they were going to typecast her.
Moving into musical theatre, Lansbury finally gained stardom for playing the leading role in the Broadway musical Mame (1966), which won her her first Tony Award and established her as a gay icon.
Amidst difficulties in her personal life, Lansbury moved from California to County Cork, Ireland, in 1970, and continued with a variety of theatrical and cinematic appearances throughout that decade. These included leading roles in the stage musicals Gypsy, Sweeney Todd and The King and I, as well as in the hit Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971). Moving into television in 1984, she achieved worldwide fame as fictional writer and sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series Murder, She Wrote, which ran for twelve seasons until 1996, becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history. Through Corymore Productions, a company that she co-owned with her husband Peter Shaw, Lansbury assumed ownership of the series and was its executive producer for the final four seasons. She also moved into voice work, contributing to animated films like Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Don Bluth's Anastasia (1997). She toured in a variety of international productions and continued to make occasional film appearances such as Nanny McPhee (2005) and Mary Poppins Returns (2018).
Lansbury received an Honorary Academy Award, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BAFTA, a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award and five additional Tony Awards, six Golden Globes and an Olivier Award. She also was nominated for numerous other industry awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress three times, various Primetime Emmy Awards on 18 occasions and a Grammy Award. In 2014, Lansbury was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. She was the subject of three biographies.
Vote for independent candidate Evan McMullin over Sen. Karen Lee (R-UT).
Vote for Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over Karen Masters.
Vote for Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) over Karen Laxit.
Former Hawai'ian lawmaker announced she is leaving the Democratic Party.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) sure knows how to pick em.
Nina Turner, Jeffrey Shaun King, Killer Mike, David Sirota, Kyle Kulinski, Katie Halper and now this noise. His whole camp is a bunch of grifters, charlatans and morons.
Karen Gabbard announced on her social media that wokeness, transgender girls and giving money to Ukraine fighting against Russia drove her out the party.
…hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.
…in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.
Meanwhile in Russia: one pundit got confused when he heard Tulsi Gabbard discuss the Nord Stream incident on Tucker Carlson's show. He thought that since Tulsi says she's a Democrat, she blamed Putin. Another pundit set him straight: "No, no, Tulsi Gabbard ALWAYS blames Biden." pic.twitter.com/ugKSrh9csg
IHO #flashbackfriday… here’s former Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton calling out then Democratic Presidential Candidate Tulsi Gabbard for who she is without saying her name.
“Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard’s (U.S. Rep, Hawaii) campaign’s legal counsel released the following letter today concerning Hillary Clinton’s defamation of Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.” —TULSI2020 pic.twitter.com/1nd6DDhhSe
She denouncing it as an "elitist cabal of war mongers," while calling upon other "common sense independent minded Democrats" to exit with her.
"I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war," Gabbard said on Twitter.
Hillary Clinton was right. She said that the Russian government backed a candidate who was put into the debates to cause noise. Gabbard did not like that remark and sued Clinton. Arguably it was dismissed because it was noise.
Gabbard joined Fox after her failed bid to win the Democratic nomination. On top of that, she faced a primary challenge at home. She ended up resigning instead of challenging the opponent, a native Hawai'ian.
Gabbard was born in American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the South Pacific. Had her father and mother been born on the territory, she would have been ineligible to run for president due to the territory's traditional status as U.S. National not U.S. citizen.
"If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country. I invite you to join me," she said.
Gabbard paired her announcement with the launch of a YouTube series called "The Tulsi Gabbard Show." The first upload is a 28-minute episode titled "Why I'm leaving the Democratic Party."
So when Joe Walsh left the Republicans, he said that Washed Up 45 and the party's threats to democracy forced him to leave. Michael Steele said the same. Nicolle Wallace said the same. Rick Wilson said the same. Peter Strzok said the same. Alexander Vindman said the same. Steve Schmitt said the same. David Jolly said the same.
It just doesn't get the news like a polarizing figure like Gabbard. She was openly a bigot towards Muslims, LGBTQ and women of color. Sanders used her as a platform to undermine Clinton.
Gabbard, then co-chair of the DNC backed Sanders over Clinton after the noise complained that the thumb was on the scale for Clinton.
I am betting she had a role in the DNC hacking a leaking. After all, she was strongly tied to the Kremlin's line of noise.
To this day, the noise continues to bring up Clinton's name despite her not being in office since 2012.
The Los Angeles City Council president is out after she was recorded saying racial slurs about a Black council member. Pressure is on for her to resign from her role as a councilwoman.
By the way, she is an elected Democrat, just in case a far right troll wants to make it all about the party registration. A racist has only one label.
She was the first Latina elected to be Los Angeles City Council president.
On October 9, 2022, an audio recording of a conversation involving Karen Martinez, fellow councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León, and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera regarding gerrymandering was leaked anonymously onto Reddit. In the meeting, Martinez stated, "Fuck that guy ... He's with the Blacks", referring to District Attorney George Gascón.
Martinez also insulted fellow Councilmember Mike Bonin's adopted child, saying "This kid needs a beatdown. Let me take him around the corner, I’ll bring him right back." Martinez also called the child a "changuito" according to the Los Angeles Times, a racial slur for a black person meaning "monkey" or "ape" in Spanish.
Pretty stupid.
In the course of the discussion on redistricting, she commented, "I see a lot of little short dark people there" in reference to Koreatown. "Oaxacan Koreans. Not even like Kevin. Little ones," Cedillo replied. She then continued, "I was like, I don't know what village they came from, how they got here, but whatever." She can also be heard to remark, "tan feos" or "they're so ugly" in Spanish.
The three councilmembers discussed how to appoint a new councilmember who would work in their interests, and also agreed to gerrymander Nithya Raman's district in order to suppress those who had voted for her. Heather Hutt, a former California State Director for then-Senator Kamala Harris was suggested. On August 26, 2022, Martinez introduced a motion to appoint Hutt as a councilmember, which was seconded by four other members. The motion was opposed by Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Mike Bonin, who instead proposed instructing the City Attorney to find eligibility requirements for appointments. On August 30, the vote to instate Hutt as a councilmember fell one vote short, with five voting for and five voting against; it was refereed to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee for further discussion. The Committee cleared her for reconsideration by the Council the next day, and Hutt was confirmed by the Council in the next meeting and sworn in on September 2, 2022.
Martinez later provided a statement in the Los Angeles Times apologizing, “In a moment of intense frustration and anger, I let the situation get the best of me. I hold myself accountable for these comments. For that I am sorry.”
Bonin's family replied in a tweet condemning the racist comments and demanding Martinez's resignation.
On October 10, she stepped down as president through a released statement that apologized to Bonin and others, saying, "Therefore, effective immediately I am resigning as President of the Los Angeles City Council," though it was unclear whether she would also resign from her seat on the city council.
Softball Hannity rolled out his latest attacks on President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Wondering if someone was to go after softball's children [Sean] Patrick and Merri Kelly?
Like they haven't any trouble in their adult lives?
This guy is so fucking annoying and so outdated. He has been on television and radio far too long. His show really needs to be cancelled. Because the guy to quote Rev. Jeremiah Wright: "stuck on stupid."
So he plays a voicemail from Biden in 2018 telling his son that he has to get help for his drug addiction and mental health.
"It’s Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I know you don’t know what to do. I don’t either."
The softball literally tried to vilify a heartbreaking voice mail to attack the president.
He brought on sports commentator Stephen A. Smith to discuss it.
Biden lost his wife & son, Beau. His other son, Hunter, lost his mother & brother, struggled with depression, alcohol, & drugs. Biden called him to tell him he loved him without condition. Sean Hannity aired the call to hurt Biden.
My big brother battled addiction his entire adult life. I watched my dad struggle with him. Watched him cry & struggle. He tried everything. Ultimately realizing that he could only love him. Despite it all, I lost my brother to drugs. I see Joe’s love for his son. And I get it.
Spewing conspiracy theories about the president having cognitive decline to his frustration that the junk food media is not spending time covering Hunter Biden, the softball, Fox and The Daily Mail went down into the barrel for a "smoking gun."
You're not a doctor, Softball Hannity!
In 2019, Fox, The Daily Mail and Washed Up 45 obsessed with a Russian-backed conspiracy about Hunter taking a role in an Ukrainian company and the country was investigating it for corruption. The far right claims that then vice president Biden got the Ukrainian prosecutor allegedly fired and withheld money for the country. It is a hodge podge of noise that led to the former president to be impeached.
Softball Hannity is a conspiracy theorist.
Karen Giuliani somehow discovers Hunter's laptop and decided to share all the details with the far right platforms. The New York Post tried to push unverified claims about the Bidens. Twitter and Facebook blocked it. It riled up the far right and led to an endless quest to "expose" Hunter by the softball.
During their first debate, Washed Up 45 kept harping on Hunter to agitate Biden.
Biden did not take the bait. Biden said that Washed Up 45's five children, his third wife and former wives were off limits. The former president keeps going into this noise in his attempt to paint himself as a victim of a rigged election.
"My son, like a lot of people ... had a drug problem," Biden said in response to Trump at the time. "He's overtaken it. He's fixed it. He's worked on it. And I'm proud of him."
Hunter is on federal watch for taxes and a gun purchase. It's not like he met (and possibly slept) with a Russian attorney in 2015. It is not like a guy who literally took classified documents to his private resort and failed to return them at the request of the U.S. government.
A Washed Up 45 appointed prosecutor is investigating this. The U.S. Justice Department vows to not interfere with the investigation.
Hunter is aware of his legal issues. The far right obsession with a private citizen is insane.
I mean didn't former fixer for Washed Up 45, Michael Cohen tell a federal judge under oath that he was an attorney for a pardoned criminal and the softball?
Ohio leans Republican. Can Tim Ryan defy the odds and defeat Moron Vance?
Ignore the noise.
Vote.
Vote to save democracy.
Vote for Tim Ryan over Moron Vance.
Vote for Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes over Sen. Karen Johnson (R-WI).
Vote for Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) over Sen. Karen Rubio (R-FL).
Vote for Cheri Beasley over Rep. Karen Budd (R-NC).
Vote for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman over Mehmet Oz.
The only debate between Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Moron Vance was held and it was a debate that makes me concerned that the lawmaker can land some heavy blows but it won't knock this fool out.
Ohio went to Washed Up 45 comfortably. The state's population is 78% white, 22% everyone else. The state's dominated by Republicans. Gov. Karen DeWine and his Republican allies are a mixture of moderate to far-right extremists.
Ohio is considered out of reach in the 2024 presidential election. But could the senate seat be in play.
Right now, I have Ohio as TOSS UP.
Vance has gotten a boast in funds and is either leading by two points or tied with Ryan.
Ryan does not want Democratic gubernatorial nominee Nan Whaley, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris or Barack Obama to campaign with him. He certainly is hitting back against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and the noise he and his allies are screaming. He is also saying that the Democrats need to have more moderates like Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV).
Ryan is facing an uphill battle.
The two debated in Cleveland.
Fox 8 hosted the lawmaker and the venture capitalist in their debate.
I am not going to give you a play-by-play. I am going just let you watch and figure out whether Ryan or Vance got it.
Here comes Sanders to deflect from the Democrats message.
Ignore the noise.
Vote.
Vote to save democracy.
Vote for Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes over Sen. Karen Johnson (R-WI).
Vote for Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) over Moron Vance.
Vote for Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) over Herschel Walker.
Vote for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman over Mehmet Oz.
One of the main reasons why Bernie Sanders failed to win the Democratic nomination in 2016 and 2020, he is tone deaf. Basic rights are being stripped from Americans and this idiot senator is concerned with taxing billionaires and taking on establishment politicians. He basically is trying to depress Democratic voter turnout.
He is an independent senator who caucuses with the Democrats. The Democrats have 48 senators and Republicans have 50 senators. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Angus King (I-ME) vote with the Democrats giving them 50. Vice President Kamala Harris is often breaking ties.
Five reasons to why Sanders failed.
1. Tone deaf.
2. Ideas that never produce results.
3. Cult of personality addiction.
4. Supporters are deplorable.
5. White leftist politics are just as bad as far right extremism.
In an op-ed published in The Guardian on Monday, the two-time Democratic presidential candidate made the case that while abortion remains an important issue — particularly in the wake of the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in June — the party risks letting Republican messages on the economy go unanswered.
"This is a fight that most Americans want us to wage and, given the Republicans' extremist position on the issue, makes them genuinely vulnerable," Sanders wrote of abortion rights, before declaring that he's "alarmed to hear the advice that many Democratic candidates are getting from establishment consultants and directors of well-funded Super Pacs that the closing argument of Democrats should focus only on abortion."
This idiot is concerned about consultation and Super Pac influence in television ads.
Democrats have since sought to capitalize on that momentum, framing campaign messages around abortion rights and castigating Republicans for their support of abortion restrictions.
“Sen. Sanders is not a team player,” one former lawmaker told The Daily Beast. “He is an ideologue, he is rigid, he is inflexible—he has a point of view that is locked down, and it’s not going to change; he’s not interested in compromise.” The Senate, said a former colleague of Sanders’, “is a place where almost everything is done with others. If you’re going to be effective and get things done, you have to work with others. That’s not Sen. Sanders’ typical style.”
Golden State Warriors and the NBA have a very likely chance that Draymond Green's basketball career could be over. During NBA Preseason practice, Green was seen serving a hot plate on Jordan Poole. It was seen on surveillance cameras and it led to a possible suspension.
TMZ Sports posted video Friday showing the NBA star punching Poole in the face at practice Wednesday in San Francisco, after the two men got into a verbal argument.
Warriors team president Bob Myers has confirmed the incident happened.
Myers told reporters that reports of an altercation between the two were “accurate” and that both are fine.
“It’s the NBA, it’s professional sports, these things happen. Nobody likes it. We don’t condone it but it happened,” Myers said.
Myers said Green apologized to the team on Thursday and that any punishment will be handled internally. Green did not practice with the team after apologizing and went home.
“It’s unfortunate, I’m not going to deny it,” Myers added. “It’ll take some time to move through but we’ll move through it and move forward. I’m confident that we will.”
According to a report from The Athletic, Green and Poole came “chest-to-chest” with both players pushing and shoving each other prior to Green “forcefully” striking the 23-year-old guard Poole.
Poole not fazed by the incident.
When asked if he anticipated Green missing any games, Myers responded: “I don’t think so at this point.”
Green and Poole both helped lead the Warriors to the franchise’s seventh championship last season.
Asked about the incident on Thursday, Steph Curry, identified as one of the key leaders in this Warriors team, said: “There’s a lot of trust in the fabric of our team, who we are, who we know those two guys to be and how we’ll get through it and continue to make it about playing great basketball.
“Personal dynamics and stuff will work themselves out and that’s all part again of the culture we’ve built here.”
The Warriors will tip off their regular season on October 18 at home against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Green will not be playing. The team is allowing the NBA to do a proper investigation.
Look closely, the cartoonist didn't do his homework.
Caption this.
The political cartoon shows a caricature of President Joe Biden explaining that Republicans who are devoted to MAGA being semi-fascist. Last month, the president made a speech in which he said that the former president Washed Up 45 and many Republicans denying the 2020 election, calling for violence against politicians and undermining democracy is a threat to America.
The Republicans took it as an insult on them. Instead of self-reflection and empathy, the noise was cranked up. They claim they're supportive of parents' rights, the police, school choice, lower taxes and free speech.
On the other side, support late term abortion, BLM, Antifa, open borders, defund the police and a Slurpee.
Support free speech while saying no to critical race theory.
Support parents' rights while punishing children who are transgender or children of color.
Support school choice meaning charter schools, non union educators, stopping teachers from teaching critical race theory, LGBTQ activism and eliminating free school meals.
Secure our borders while allowing firearms to roam freely across the country. Using this securing the border as a masquerade to deny assimilation of Black and Brown people.
Lower taxes on which group? The rich.
Support our police. They can't even hold the former president accountable for unleashing his supporters on the U.S. Capitol. Those people attacked cops. None of the instigators were criminally charged.
Wanna know why Republicans are so obsessed with crime, abortion, inflation, transgender women, open borders, cancel culture and the like....
White supremacy.
Republicans love to stay on message.
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.
