Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) defeats former Alaskan governor and noise maker Sarah Palin in the state's rank choice election.
Peltola does not want to be noise like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) or Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). She actually wants to work on issues involving fishing, forestry, protecting pro-choice, protecting marriage equality and helping President Joe Biden achieve his goals.
Her win gave the Democrats a seat that never flipped in over 40 years. It once belonged to Don Young. The Republican died while awaiting a transfering flight from Los Angeles International Airport.
His death sparked interest in who could win that election.
Palin, a supporter of Washed Up 45 and one of the main reasons to why he ran in the first place hoped that her victory would assure two years of burden for President Joe Biden. She was competing with Republican Nick Begich, a relative of former Democratic senator Mark Begich.
Begich was endorsed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the outgoing Minority Leader who is seeking Speaker of the House. Begich was also endorsed by Palin's ex-husband Todd. The former president endorsed the controversial agitator.
Palin is best known also for her run with John McCain in the 2008 Presidential Campaign. She listened to the noise of Sean "Softball" Hannity and ran on the demonization of Barack and Michelle Obama.
Palin gave way to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and numerous Karens who felt the need to be bitches instead of lawmakers.
Patola, a native Alaskan and member of a Yup'ik organization will join a handful of lawmakers who share Native American roots. Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS), Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Sen-Elect, Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM), Rep-Elect Josh Brecheen (R-OK) and Kimberly Teehee (future delegate U.S. Representative from the Cherokee Nation).
Palin on The Masked Singer.
Peltola's victory comes a shocker to the Republicans. She was a former tribal judge and state lawmaker before she made the quest for Washington. Her victory should help motivate Democrats in the West.
Once seen as Republican country, it is possible that Democrats can win in states like Montana, Idaho, Alaska, North Dakota and South Dakota. It's difficult to convince voters to support Democrats because Republicans for years have made noise about the other party being this and that. This is why it's considered "flyover country."
Ohio, Iowa, and Florida were once potential swing states for candidates of both parties. It appears Republicans will have them for years to come because they are no longer in play.
Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania are swing states.
Other than Peltola, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Republican governor Mike Dunleavy won their elections as well.
The beauty of independence. We could have three independent senators. Murkowski defeats her Republican challenger.
President Joe Biden, please talk to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Make her become an independent and caucus with the Democrats.
She is moderate and not a noise maker like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) or Sen-Elect J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Sen-Elect John Fetterman (D-PA).
She is not stubborn like most of the Republican conference or Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
She runs like Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO). Keep it simple and not be noise is why Murkowski won her election.
She along with Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) and Gov. Mike Dunleavy easily won their elections.
The Republican senator defeated a Washed Up 45-backed challenger. She will serve another six years as Alaska's senator.
Her and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) are considered moderate at best. Sullivan is more conservative than Murkowski. Lisa is more supportive of women's rights and supports the right to choice.
Murkowski, who will now enter her fourth term in the Senate, defeated Kelly Tshibaka in the third round of her state’s new system of ranked-choice voting. She also defeated Democrat Patricia Chesbro. Murkowski won with nearly 54%.
Biden signs a bill with Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and the late Don Young.
“Thank you, Alaska,” Murkowski said in a statement Wednesday night. “I am honored that Alaskans ― of all regions, backgrounds and party affiliations ― have once again granted me their confidence to continue working with them and on their behalf in the U.S. Senate. I look forward to continuing the important work ahead of us.”
It took more than two weeks for Alaska election officials to tally the final results of the race. That was expected.
Under the state’s new system of elections, voters ranked their top four candidates — regardless of party affiliation — in the order of whom they wanted to win. Their second, third and fourth choices were only factored in if their first and later choices finished last and didn’t make it to the next round. The election ended as soon as one candidate got more than 50% of the vote.
Since neither Murkowski nor Tshibaka got 50% after the first-choice vote counts, election officials moved on to factor in second choice picks. In the end, Murkowski was the first to get a majority vote.
The Alaska senator, who regularly wins elections by catering to a broad base of moderate Republicans, independents and Democrats, certainly benefited from the state’s new election system, which voters approved in 2020. In the primary, all she had to do to advance was be one of the four top vote-getters. In the general election, Murkowski, who is easily the most moderate Republican in today’s Senate, was well positioned to pick up more votes across party lines as voters’ second- and third-ranked choices were factored in.
Murkowski endorsed Mary Peltola.
Murkowski had been a prime target for defeat by Washed Up 45, who has been vowing to unseat her ever since she was one of seven Republicans who voted to convict him for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. The former president regularly attacks her and went to Alaska in July to stump for Tshibaka, a far-right social conservative who once wrote in support of an “ex-gay” organization and warned of the evils of “addictive” witchcraft.
The leaders of Alaska’s Republican Party also endorsed Tshibaka, who previously ran the state’s Department of Administration. Their endorsement came a few months after they voted 53-17 to censure Murkowski for voting to impeach Washed Up 45. Buzz Kelley, a Republican who finished fourth in the Senate primary, stopped his campaign earlier this fall and threw his support behind Tshibaka as well.
The Murkowski-Tshibaka race evolved into a proxy fight between Washed Up 45 and another one of his critics: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who directed millions of dollars into the state to support Murkowski. One GOP senator anonymously told NBC News last week, “Mitch has really taken some actions to poke at Trump.”
The U.S. and Mexican authorities are investigating the death of a woman who was vacationing in Cabo, Mexico when she unexpectedly died. Now there is video that shows an incident that may shed light to why this is not an accidental death but foul play.
Shanquella Robinson, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was found dead at a villa in Cabo San Lucas on Oct. 29. Her death, first reported by local news outlets in North Carolina and Black-centered blog sites, was heart-wrenching to Black social media users. Robinson was vacationing with six friends at the Mexican resort, arriving on Oct. 28.
The death of Shanquella Robinson has become a case that has the FBI investigating.
Her friends claimed that she had alcohol poisoning but a video shows that she was in a physical assualt.
She walked in on them plotting 🥹didn’t know what was going on. Look at their eyes when she comes in the room. Nobody deserve this I’m heartbroken. Justice for #ShaquellaRobinsonpic.twitter.com/24U6xDfhyN
Bernard and Salamondra Robinson were shocked when they learned about Shaquella Robinson’s death.
Shaquella Robinson’s alleged cause of death was alcohol poisoning, but her parents were not convinced that was the case. A Shaquella Robinson video has turned up, changing the perspectives of this case and confirming her parents’ doubts.
So the video is graphic.
It appears that a woman struck Shaquella numerous times inside a hotel room.
The report differs from details previously reported from 25-year-old Robinson’s death certificate that said she died within 15 minutes of being injured. Instead, a police report excerpt shows a doctor from a local hospital was with Robinson and others in the house for close to three hours before she was pronounced dead.
The Charlotte Observer obtained excerpts from a police report earlier this week that had not yet been publicly released. The information was provided to the Observer by Gerardo Zuñiga, an investigative reporter who works in Los Cabos for MetropoliMx, and details were first reported by MetropoliMx on Monday.
So once again, we have to deal with a deadly mass shooting inside Walmart. Like El Paso, Texas wasn't enough! Now we deal with another shooting in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Chesapeake, Virginia is the second largest city in the state. It is part of the Hampton Roads region which includes: Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News and Hampton. They are independent cities which is common in the state.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) and the U.S. Representatives and Rep-Elects were notified of this.
Walmart also will respond to the latest tragedy inside their stores. The best time to attack is when the holiday season is going.
A store manager shot up the Walmart in Chesapeake, VA. Listen to these employees immediately reaction after making it outside. Just awful! 😞 pic.twitter.com/Qz6yCwm24S
— Madam Vice President Harris is THEE GOAT! (@flywithkamala) November 23, 2022
The terrorist managed to kill over......... I am going on an estimate of 10 to 20 people.
The word on the internet, the terrorist is a manager at the location. So that means not only a mass shooting, but workplace violence, domestic terrorism and the thing I've always said.
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING. THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC .
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
Gun violence never takes a day off.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
What to do to protect your life.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
Unconfirmed reports the suspect is Black/Asian American terrorist.
With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."
Use the hashtag #ignorethenoise whenever you deal with folks who embrace this.
The shooting happened at the Walmart on North Battlefield Boulevard around 10pm. The FBI Norfolk, the ATF and Virginia State Police have announced their investigating.
The terrorist killed as well.
The exit from North Battlefield Boulevard extending towards Beltway Outer Loop (Interstate 64) to U.S. 17/ Virginia Highway 168 is closed.
The area has a strong police presence.
It’s still unclear just how many people were killed or injured in the shooting, but police say there were multiple of both found inside the building, where the shooting occurred. One person was deceased outside the front entrance.
WAVY 10 News reported that Chesapeake Police are still going through the building and people are asked to steer clear. The call reporting the shooting came in at 10:12 p.m. Tuesday. The Walmart supercenter was open to the public at the time.
Police have not been able to confirm reports about who the gunman was, but police emphasized that person was dead.
There’s still a massive police response outside of the store, with more than 40 emergency vehicles outside. FBI agents and Virginia Beach police have responded to assist Chesapeake. The ATF in Washington tweeted just after midnight that they were also on the way to help in the investigation.
WAVY’s crew is being kept away from getting near the store at the moment. Police are also urging the public to stay away. If you’re looking for information or for a loved one who works or was at the store, go to the Chesapeake Conference Center.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
Walmart sits on the southeast of Interstate 64 in Chesapeake.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

The name of the white terrorist who shot and killed five people inside a Colorado Springs nightclub is revealed. The attack on the nightclub may be a hate crime. The victims identified with the LGBTQIA community.
The senseless violence that took five Americans who wanted to enjoy life.
The victims:
Daniel Davis Aston, 28
Kelly Loving, 40
Ashley Paugh, 35
Derrick Rump, 38
Raymond Green Vance, 22
They lose their lives in the most terrible fashion.
The suspect was identified as a 22-year-old resident of Colorado Springs and the grandson of outgoing Republican California state assembly member Randy Voepel. On June 18, 2021, the white terrorist then 21, was arrested after his mother reported him to have issued a bomb threat against her; the terrorist did not surrender initially, and in the resulting standoff, neighboring homes had to be evacuated. However, no charges were pursued in the case, which was sealed. There is also no record that the police or relatives attempted to trigger the Colorado "red flag" law, which would have allowed for the seizure of any weapons and ammo that the individual had in their possession.
A man single handedly disarmed and severely beat the white terrorist. The man admitted that he feared he may never see his wife and daughter again.
Where can we go? That club was a safe place for us!
A witness said that the nightclub was a safe place and now that is disrupted by the tragedy.
The place, Club Q was on the radar of the extremists. They held charity events with drag performers. They have drag shows and children read a longs for LGBTQ youth.
Colorado Springs had numerous mass shootings in the past years.
Michelle Malkin lives in Colorado Springs.
The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful.
This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers.
This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly.
I am saddened to hear of the senseless loss of life in the shooting last night. Law enforcement and first responders are to be commended for their rapid response.
All people should pray for the victims and their families.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) are slammed for their phony sympathy. Gov. Jared Polis, Colorado's first openly gay state leader condemned the attacker.
The terrorist's grandfather is a Republican lawmaker from California.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and numerous Democrats call for a ban of the semi-automatic firearms which are the most common in mass shootings.
The white terrorist's grandfather is a controversial California assemblyman who has strong ties to Washed Up 45 and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The white terrorist's mother and his grandfather gave him the firearms.
The sheriff faces heat for his past responses to mass shootings as well as his opposition to "red flag laws." This white terrorist had a run in prior to this tragedy.
The word "groomer" is amplified by far right extremists and Twitter user Libs of TikTok is taking a victory lap. The user Chaya Raichik is a white extremist and agent provocateur who may have inspired this white terrorist.
Twitter allows LibsofTikTok to continue promoting anti-LGBT and racist postings.
According to the police chief, the shooting began when the gunman entered Club Q while a dance party was being held. Wearing body armor and wielding an AR-15 style rifle, he immediately began shooting at people while moving further into the building. Many survivors at first mistook the gunfire for being a part of the music, until the gunfire continued and patrons saw the muzzle flash. Multiple people sheltered behind the bar and in dressing rooms, while others stayed low to the ground.
Minutes into the shooting, a club patron, identified as U.S. Army veteran Richard M. Fierro, charged across the room and tackled the gunman to the ground causing his rifle to fall out of reach. Fierro then grabbed a handgun from the attacker's hand and used it to hit him repeatedly in the head. Fierro was assisted by other patrons, including Thomas James, who moved the rifle away to safety and a drag performer who used their high heels to stomp on the gunman, who helped disable and hold the terrorist down until the authorities arrived. Fierro estimated the shooter's weight at 300 pounds.
Police received an initial call for service regarding the shooting at 11:56 p.m. on November 19, with the first officer being dispatched a minute later. The first responding officer arrived in the area at 12:00 midnight and arrested the suspect two minutes later. A total of thirty-nine patrol officers from all four divisions of the Colorado Springs Police Department, along with thirty-four firefighters and eleven ambulances, responded to the scene. The suspect was in custody within about five minutes after the first 911 call. After the shooting stopped many were at first reluctant to leave from hiding spots as they were unsure if the shooter was reloading or had been stopped. Fierro, who had been covered in blood, was placed in police custody in a squad car for over an hour before he was cleared of suspicion and released.
The injured were transported to three hospitals: seven to Penrose Hospital, ten to Memorial Hospital Central, and two to Memorial Hospital North. Some ambulances had to transport up to three patients at a time, and a few police cruisers had to transport victims as well.
After the shooting, the terrorist was charged with ten felony counts; five counts of murder and five counts of committing a bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury. It was also reported that an El Paso County judge authorized the sealing of the suspect's arrest records, stating that the public release of the documents could "jeopardize the ongoing investigation."
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
The white extremist who accused former President Bill Clinton, then governor of Arkansas of sexual abuse is back on Twitter. The far-right pleaded with Elon Musk to bring back Juanita Broaddrick, a far-right extremist who has a checkered past and is known to say offensive remarks.
Under the stench of Musk, Twitter has went from a place of ideas, to a place for racism, bigotry and conspiracy theorists.
With Kanye West, Washed Up 45, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Project Veritas, James O'Keefe and now Broaddrick returning to Twitter, the social media platform is bring back noise. Advertisers should be very concerned about how Musk is running this platform.
Musk has been relentless in the self-destruction of a once promising social media company.
He bought Twitter for $44 billion and immediately fired all the people who kept guardrails on the platform.
Now with this woman and many like this back on the platform, expect racism to be rampant again.
Since Musk takeover, NIGGER has been in the comment sections a whooping 500% percent.
Anyone willing to pay $8 can be verified as a member of Twitter. That includes Tara Reade, another white extremist who panders pro-Kremlin talking points. She was the woman who accused President Joe Biden, then senator of sexual abuse at the peak of him trouncing Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 2020 Democratic nomination.
Since Twitter employees left, the noise got louder and more dangerous. Some are literally posting child pornography, full movies, death threats, doxxing people online and spamming.
Twitter employees have sounded the alarm that Musk would drive the company into the ground.
And it all started because he was upset Twitter did not suspend a troll who followed his movements.
Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey and Gennifer Flowers were accusers who did not impress Ken Starr during his investigation into whether Clinton lied under oath when he had an affair with then intern Monica Lewinsky and paid off Paula Jones.
Social media is going downhill fast. Meta is tanking. Twitter may not survive the next two years amd of course, Washed Up 45 is running for president again.
The far right lawmaker had her personal account restored. The most ineffective lawmaker in modern history has thanked Elon Musk for restoring her Twitter account back.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is the latest noisemaker to get her account restored under the stench of Musk.
Twitter has permanently banned her after she kept posting threats and misinformation.
She posted "Free Speech is Dead."
Such an idiot. She has no damn sense. She is still barking.
Greene, a staunch supporter of Washed Up 45 and a strong believer of conspiracy theories was banned after she spreaded COVID-19 misinformation. She and Washed Up 45 had their accounts restored after far-right agitators online pleaded with Musk to restore the hateful agitators.
Musk had led about 75% of the staff go and the company is in turmoil right now.
Many are concerned that the unfiltered noise of Greene and folks like her will disrupt and sow chaos.
The lawmaker easily won her reelection and is slated to get a committee assignment after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) promised her and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) they'll have something. He vows to ban Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) from committee assignments.
Greene's personal life got a little hectic. She and husband Perry Greene are divorcing.
Perry filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage. He cites a longtime of irreparable damage.
Greene is allegedly dating Bryan Glenn, a far-right media agitator on Right Side Broadcasting Network.
Glenn and Greene have denied their relationship but both are divorcing their spouses.
Fox will devote its coverage to demonize John and Gisele Fetterman.
The wife of Sen-elect John Fetterman, Democratic Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania has spoken to the junk food media about the treatment she and her husband gotten from the far right extremists.
Gisele Fetterman points the finger at Fox and Washed Up 45 for all the noise.
While I had my reservations about Fetterman, I guess he did what Tim Ryan should have done, use President Joe Biden to his advantage. Biden came to Pennsylvania multiple times and campaigned with Fetterman despite the noise saying low polling Biden could hurt Democratic candidates.
Fetterman is an oaf. But I would vote for him over the fascist anyday.
In a New Republic piece entitled “Mrs. Fetterman Goes to Washington,” Gisele Fetterman pushed back hard on the her husband’s critics focusing specifically on her after his health struggles.
The New Republic’s Pablo Manríquez noted some of the more recent attacks on Gisele Fetterman, including mocking from Fox hosts like Harris Faulkner over a photo she posted to social media where her husband was partially cropped out — Senator-elect Fetterman is 6’8. The photo is part of a running joke the two have had for years, long before the two were thrust onto the national stage.
Fetterman chalked up criticism of her to a hate for “strong women.”
“The right-wing hates women. They especially hate strong women, and I think that’s what you’re seeing,” she said.
Fetterman blamed a barrage of hate mail and threats to being on a “non-stop loop on Fox News.”
“Since entering the Capitol for training, my inbox has been completely filled with threats and horrible things. And that’s because I’ve been a non-stop loop on Fox News,” she said.
Fetterman made clear she has no political ambitions of her own, including with a post in her husband’s office. She insisted she wants people to “like” her and doesn’t want politics to make her “cruel.”
“It’s not for me. It’s a very cruel world, and I am not cruel,” she said. “I don’t ever wanna become cruel. I’m sensitive. I want people to like me. It hurts me when people are mean.”
Ever since John Fetterman had a stroke, the far right and especially Sean "Softball" Hannity used that as an excuse to disqualify him. The noise constantly attacked him and mocked him.
These idiots made having a disability a liability. It was a pathetic attempt to help Mehmet Oz win. The former TV doctor who may end up on Fox was endorsed by Washed Up 45.
Kathy Barnette, a far right Black extremist blamed Fox and Softball Hannity for costing Republicans the senate. She said that attacks on Fetterman were not connecting and it actually made Oz and Republicans seem too extreme. She said they should have voted for her instead.
Rapper and activist Big Sean along with girlfriend Jhené Aiko, fellow singer and activist welcome the birth of their child.
Aiko and Big Sean first met in 2012 and developed a close friendship, collaborating on several songs together before releasing a joint album, Twenty88, in 2016. While doing publicity for the album, the pair's chemistry became apparent, with the rapper telling Billboard, "I love her and I know she loves me." They have dated on and off in the years since.
Thank god Big Sean, John Legend and Common left Ye. They knew he was a fucking mess and it appears Sean Don is doing better without G.O.O.D. Music.
Note: I never got the opportunity to embrace my son for the first time. The woman had the child and did not tell me for four and a half months. It was a moment I will never get back. I am somewhat emotional scarred due this. I am trying to forgive the mother of my child, but it extremely difficult.
I would share a few more details in the future.
I am proud of Big Sean and many other first time fathers. They got a moment of pure manhood and parenthood. I will get my first experience someday. Until then, I will be a father to a surprise child.
The beginning of noise and the end of Twitter. An autistic idiot billionaire single handedly destroyed a platform because he was upset over a fucking troll following his movements.
I believe that advertisers will jump ship now that Elon Musk reinstated Washed Up 45's official Twitter account. Musk is teasing he will buy Truth Social and has reinstated the former president after the social media platform permanently banned him after repeated violations and incitement of violence.
The former president will likely be back on it as soon as the month ends. He right now claims he will stay on Truth Social but do not expect it to be in the short term. He misses tweeting to his supporters. He had over 90 million followers.
Musk is embattled right now with Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX. Inventors are concerned about his sanity and his ability to maintain three companies while not operating either strategically.
On Friday, Musk did an unscientific poll stating that he would could reinstate the former president. Overwhelmingly folks voted (bot accounts) in favor of the noise.
Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Washed Up 45’s account should be restored. The “yes” vote won, with 51.8%. Previously, Musk had said Twitter would establish new procedures and a “content moderation council” before making decisions to restore suspended accounts.
“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.”
Shortly afterward Washed Up 45’s account, which had earlier appeared as suspended, reappeared on the platform complete with his former tweets, more than 59,000 of them. His followers were gone, at least initially, but he quickly began regaining them. There were no new tweets from the account as of late Saturday, however.
Musk restored the account less than a month after the Tesla CEO took control of Twitter and four days after the former president announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race.
It is not clear whether Washed Up 45 would actually return to Twitter. An irrepressible tweeter before he was banned, the former president has said in the past that he would not rejoin even if his account was reinstated. He has been relying on his own, much smaller social media site, Truth Social, which he launched after being blocked from Twitter.
And on Saturday, during a video speech to a Republican Jewish group meeting in Las Vegas, the former president said that he was aware of Musk’s poll but that he saw “a lot of problems at Twitter.”
The decision will have immediate backlash.
“I hear we’re getting a big vote to also go back on Twitter. I don’t see it because I don’t see any reason for it,” the former president said. “It may make it, it may not make it,” he added, apparently referring to Twitter’s recent internal upheavals.
The prospect of restoring Washed Up 45’s presence to the platform follows Musk’s purchase last month of Twitter — an acquisition that has fanned widespread concern that the billionaire owner will allow purveyors of lies and misinformation to flourish on the site. Musk has frequently expressed his belief that Twitter had become too restrictive of freewheeling speech.
His efforts to reshape the site have been both swift and chaotic. Musk has fired many of the company’s 7,500 full-time workers and an untold number of contractors who are responsible for content moderation and other crucial responsibilities. His demand that remaining employees pledge to “extremely hardcore” work triggered a wave of resignations, including hundreds of software engineers.
Users have reported seeing increased spam and scams on their feeds and in their direct messages, among other glitches, in the aftermath of the mass layoffs and worker exodus. Some programmers who were fired or resigned this week warned that Twitter may soon fray so badly it could actually crash.
Musk’s online survey, posted on his own Twitter account, drew more than 15 million votes in the 24 hours in which it ran.
Musk conceded that the results were hardly scientific. “Bot & troll armies might be running out of steam soon,” he tweeted Saturday morning. “Some interesting lessons to clean up future polls.”
It’s not the first time he’s used Twitter polling to make business decisions. Last year he sold millions of shares of his Tesla stock after asking his followers whether he should.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York responded to Musk’s poll on Washed Up 45 by tweeting video of the Jan. 6 insurrection. She tweeted Friday that when the former president was last on Twitter, it “was used to incite an insurrection, multiple people died, the Vice President of the United States was nearly assassinated, and hundreds were injured but I guess that’s not enough for you to answer the question. Twitter poll it is.”
The former president lost his access to Twitter two days after his supporters stormed the Capitol, soon after the former president had exhorted them to “fight like hell.” Twitter dropped his account after the former president wrote a pair of tweets that the company said cast further doubts on the legitimacy of the presidential election and raised risks for the Biden presidential inauguration.
After the Jan. 6 attack, Washed Up 45 was also kicked off Facebook and Instagram, which are owned by Meta Platforms, and Snapchat. His ability to post videos to his YouTube channel was also suspended. Facebook is set to reconsider the former president's suspension in January.
Throughout his tenure as president, Washed Up 45’s use of social media posed a significant challenge to major social media platforms that sought to balance the public’s interest in hearing from public officials with worries about misinformation, bigotry, harassment and incitement of violence.
But in a speech at an auto conference in May, Musk asserted that Twitter’s ban of the former president was a “morally bad decision” and “foolish in the extreme.”
Earlier this month, Musk, who completed the $44 billion takeover of Twitter in late October, declared that the company wouldn’t let anyone who had been kicked off the site return until Twitter had established procedures on how to do so, including forming a “content moderation council.”
On Friday, Musk tweeted that the suspended Twitter accounts for the comedian Kathy Griffin, the Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson and the conservative Christian news satire website Babylon Bee had been reinstated. He added that a decision on the former president had not yet been made. He also responded “no” when someone on Twitter asked him to reinstate the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ account.
In a tweet Friday, the Tesla CEO described the company’s new content policy as “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.”
He explained that a tweet deemed to be “negative” or to include “hate” would be allowed on the site but would be visible only to users who specifically searched for it. Such tweets also would be “demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter,” Musk said.
