From being caught on the Dallas hoe stroll where he ended up crashing his car to demanding his Dallas Cowboy players not to kneel in protest, Jerry Jones certainly has the issues.
It is well known he is a rich and powerful businessman. He has donated to Republicans and conservative groups for years. He shares a friendship with George W. Bush, Washed Up 45, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and numerous NFL owners.
But a picture unearthed some deeply troubling things about the billionaire owner.
He was seen in a picture with a group of white men blocking the path of Black students entering Little Rock Central High School. Almost 70 years ago and a picture speaks a thousand words. The 1957 photo was unearthed and never once Jones ever told his story about being there during the violent peaks of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.
The photo depicting a fifteen-year-old Jerry Jones witnessing an argument where Caucasian students attempted to prevent six African-American students from entering the school. In the crowd of Caucasian students peering at African-American students at Arkansas' North Little Rock High was beginning the process of integration. The picture shows the fact that African-American students were not accepted at Little Rock as they were met with blatant stares, rocks, and yells.
I was curious back then.
In response to the picture Jones states: "[he was a] curious bystander....I don't know that I or anybody anticipated or had a background of knowing what was involved. It was more a curious thing", despite the school’s head football coach ordered the team (which Jones was a part of) not to participate.
From paying off sexual abuse victims, strolling for prostitutes, inappropriate behavior towards women staffers and his no stern "no woke politics" makes him even more detestable.
A Georgia state judge decided to hold an attorney in contempt of court after he failed to show up to trial. The reason for that was a stroke. Now there is an attempt to have him disbarred and there's controversy assured.
Matt Tucker was in the hospital and had stroke.
The Clayton County Judge Shana Rooks Malone blasted him and revealed his medical status.
You may remember two years ago, a white woman chased down a hit amd run driver and shot him at point blank range instantly killing him. The state prosecutors determined that the shooting was not justified. She is facing criminal charges for second degree murder.
What lead to the murder charges included: malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The trial was delayed for nearly three years and I guess Malone was getting fed up with the excuses.
The judge says the attorneys latest delay forced her to hold him in contempt.
Now Tucker is slamming the judge for lacking compassion for him and possibly tainting the trial by her decision. The judge responded to saying he will face a state hearing in the coming year to see if he is capable of being a practicing defense attorney in Georgia.
The suspect Hannah Payne held on the 2019 murder of 62-year-old Kenneth Herring. On May 7, 2019, Herring ran a red light and crashed into a semi-truck on Clark Howell Highway near Interstate-285. Police said no one was hurt in the initial hit-and-run accident, but that Payne was a witness to the incident.
In testimonies from detectives from 2019, Herring stayed on the scene for 20 minutes, but then tried to leave because of an apparent medical emergency.
Detectives said that witnesses described the emergency as "like diabetic shock."
Payne followed him about a mile away from the original scene to confront the victim in an apparent "citizen's arrest gone wrong," according to testimony. Witnesses told Clayton County Police detectives that Payne got out her car and demanded he return to the accident scene, according to police reports.
White woman's reactionary killing of an unarmed motorist could put her in the iron college for life.
Payne allegedly shot Herring several times as he sat in the driver’s seat of his car, killing him.
Payne's case was delayed a few years ago for several reasons including COVID-19 concerns, according to court documents.
The office said Payne's trial will start with jury selection. The trial is expected to last about two weeks, according to the district attorney.
The judge has expressed frustration with Matt Tucker's represntation for the past two years. She believes that it is an intentional tactic to prevent a timely trial. The suspect is out on a get out free card and been actively pursuing a "good girl, never harm a fly" tactic.
Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, Beyonce Knowles, Kim Kardashian and Common: "Get Kanye West right now! He is destroying what little is left of his reputation."
Ye is considering another run for president. He took aim at the shoe company Adidas which dropped him and renamed the Yeezy shoes. Ye also got dropped by his management company which also included him losing his deal with Def Jam. He also is no longer invited to award shows and his concerts are no longer available. His Donda Academy and sports league have permanently closed. The state of California is investigating deceptive practices at the former Simi Valley private charter school. The receipts are piling up.
Ye is no longer a billionaire after losing Adidas and Def Jam.
Adidas is looking into Ye's behavior towards workers. He allegedly masturbated to porn and shown nudity including those of his ex-wife Kim K.
On his way to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago yesterday, Kanye West was filmed walking through Miami's airport with misogynistic antisemitic white nationalist Christian fascist incel Nick Fuentes. https://t.co/903Sa56Jb5pic.twitter.com/Jn3bKtt9JE
Ye was seen with notorious "closeted" white extremist Nick Fuentes and openly gay white extremist Milo Yiannopoulos. He went to see Washed Up 45 at the Mar-a-Lago resort.
He felt that Washed Up 45 let him and his most loyal allies down. In regards to Candace Owens and many Black extremists who felt he could have done more to win Black votes and take on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Politico and The Daily Beast both reported that Fuentes and Ye were seen together at the former president's golf club. A source also told The Daily Beast's Zachary Petrizzo that while Ye dined with Washed Up 45 on Tuesday, Fuentes was not there for that meeting.
Neither representatives for Fuentes nor a lawyer for Ye returned Insider's requests for comment.
Elon Musk also lifted the Twitter ban on Ye after he said he went "def con 3 on the Jews."
Ye is not mental ill. He does not show any signs of this noise we've been concerned about.
He is perfectly fine with this and is willing to gamble everything he gained for embracing anti-semitism, anti-Blackness and anti-wokism.
Joy Reid angers the far right when she addressed Thanksgiving.
Republican senate candidate Hershel Walker, Black extremist Stacy Washington, many on the far right and Fox are angry over MSNBC agitator Joy Ann L. Reid telling viewers that the origins of Thanksgiving were more brutal than the fairytale you may have read in books or seen on television.
Culture wars.
The far right and some on the far left hate Black women with voice. The noise hate Joy Reid, Sonny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, Duchess Meghan of Sussex, Michelle Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, Tiffany Cross, Tamara Hall, Karen Hunter, Heather B, Laura Coates and Symone Sanders because they show they ain't afraid to speak their minds.
In reality, European settlers forced indigenous people and Afrikans from their lands, raped, pillaged, forced slave labor, sexual exploitation and child labor.
The far right and these Black bootlickers label her a "race-baiter" because she spoke to an audience who supports her views. She spoke to an audience who believes she was teaching critical race theory.
The MSNBC host described the holiday’s “historical inaccuracies” and used the opening segment of her show to call out GOP officials who want aspects of American history barred from textbooks on Wednesday.
Reid said it’s important to recognize that the holiday, while full of food and discussion, is built on a story of Native Americans welcoming Europeans with open arms.
“A simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed,” Reid said. “It’s the truth Republicans want banned from our textbooks...”
Reid’s segment comes at a time of increased book-banning efforts by Republicans.
This includes Republican-controlled states’ bans ― and attempted bans ― of “The 1619 Project,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning project by New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones which examines the history and effects of slavery in America.
There have been 681 attempts to ban access to over 1,650 book titles in the first eight months of 2022, according to the American Library Association.
Far right agitator Stacy Washington upset over Reid's remarks.
Lessa Kananiʻopua Pelayo-Lozada, ALA’s president, noted that the challenges reflected “coordinated, national efforts to silence marginalized or historically underrepresented voices” and deprived America’s youth of resources to help them combat challenges they could face in their lives.
Reid said on Wednesday that the GOP desperately wants to conceal what she described as the violent origin of America.
“We’re a country that chooses violence over and over again,” Reid continued. “There is no facet of American society that is untouched by it, as all the recent headlines remind us.
“It’s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks, because here’s the secret they want so desperately to keep: We are a country founded on violence,” she said, adding the claim that “we are a country that still chooses violence.”
“Our birth was violent. In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia ushering in two centuries of American slavery that left millions in chains or dead. And when those humans in bondage were finally free, a terrorist organization that was a card-carrying member of polite society — the Ku Klux Klan —picked up where the Civil War ended using violence to maintain white supremacy,” she claimed.
Stacy Washington, a far right Black extremist on SiriusXM called Reid out for telling a harsh reality.
This is a woman who can't deal with how many Americans can't afford to buy a turkey this year so she attacks the entire holiday.
“This is a woman who can’t deal with how many Americans can’t afford to buy a turkey this year so she attacks the entire holiday. She must be a miserable guest on Thanksgiving!”
Extremists Benny Johnson and Mark Levin whined as well.
The joyless succubus left reminds you that Thanksgiving is actually bad, ok?
Walker who is running in a runoff against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) also complained about Reid. He said he wants to debate the host after she mocked his "errection" remarks on Softball Hannity.
Reid is still angry over MSNBC's firing of Tiffany Cross. I am still angry over it.
Cross vows to keep the heat on Republicans and of course MSNBC which saw an immediate backlash for the unceremonious cannon firing.
The 710th mass shooting in the United States. I can't keep count anymore. By far, the most deadliest year for mass shootings. President Joe Biden while in Nantucket, Massachusetts had talked to the press.
He says it's sick for Americans to be obsessed with purchasing semi-automatic firearms with the intent to massacre people. He said it is time to ban these instruments of destruction.
For the far right, Republicans and racists, it's not the time. Since the shooter is a person of color, almost immediately the noise of the far right will quickly claim it as a fault of the president, Black Lives Matter and progressive agitators.
It was confirmed the terrorist was a manager at the Chesapeake, Virginia Walmart who opened fire on his co workers and several shoppers. The victims were confirmed.

The terrorist took himself out.
Police responded to reports of a shooting in the store at 10:12 p.m. EST. According to the eyewitness account, the terrorist "snapped" before shooting a woman, proceeding to kill employees within the break room, and then firing at least ten shots in the grocery aisles.
Biden is calling for a semi-automatic firearms ban.
A survivor reportedly said that she and her coworkers had gathered in the break room to start their shift when the shooting started. Her manager (the terrorist) entered the room without saying anything and shot indiscriminately at anyone he saw. Another eyewitness account said the terrorist was laughing as he opened fire.
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.
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.
The terrorist killed his workers.
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.
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 victims were employees of Walmart and shoppers.
The terrorist was a resident of Chesapeake who previously lived in various other cities across the Hampton Roads metropolitan area including Suffolk, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach, and also lived for a time in Queens, New York, and San Angelo, Texas. The terrorist started working with Walmart at the location in 2010. In a company statement, the terrorist was said to have worked as an overnight shift lead.
Police searched the terrorist's home near Interstate 464, located 3.5 miles (5.6 km) away from the Walmart, before his identity was disclosed and his family notified. The terrorist's motive is unknown, though an employee at the store alleged that he was planning on killing other Walmart managers. Police have not yet disclosed his reasoning.
In the past, Prioleau said, the terrorist could be “condescending when he spoke to us. He didn’t have good communication skills. He was quite mean to a lot of us.”
Shaundrayia Reese, who worked with the terrorist from 2015 to 2018, described him as a loner.
“He was always saying the government was watching him. He didn’t like social media and he kept black tape on his phone camera. Everyone always thought something was wrong with him,” Reese said.
A video Reese says she took in 2016 shows a man she identifies as the terrorist talking to people before realizing he’s being filmed and walking away.
“He didn’t like to be recorded,” Reese said. “He was always scared that the government was listening.”
Witness said the terrorist just walked in the break room without saying anything and started firing.
Joshua Johnson, who worked as a maintenance worker at the store until 2019, also told CNN that the terrorist had previously issued ominous threats if he ever lost his job.
“He said if he ever got fired from his job he would retaliate and people would remember who he was,” Johnson said.
Neither Johnson nor Reese reported any concerns about the terrorist to management, they said.
According to Johnson, the terrorist had problems with some of the maintenance workers and would threaten to write them up if they didn’t follow his orders.
Chesapeake Police Chief Mark Solesky said there is no clear motive for the shooting known at this time.
Walmart confirmed the terrorist was an employee and said in a statement the company was “thankful for the local first responders and will continue to work with local law enforcement as they continue their 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.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
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 feds search the terrorist home.
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.

Arizona man celebrates another Thanksgiving with a woman who accidentally text him thinking he was her grandson.
Jamal Hinton and Wanda Dench celebrate another Thanksgiving together. Six years ago, Wanda accidentally texted Jamal to come to dinner. At first Jamal was going to just ignore the text but went along and felt that she would consider it a wrong number and move on.
Since that moment, Jamal and his wife Mikaela have visited Wanda every Thanksgiving. Wanda had lost her husband Lonnie to COVID-19 and it has an impact on both of them.
The two remain life long friends and Jamal promised to keep Wanda protected for life.
Hinton has a large following on social media now, with 142,000 Instagram followers. But he kept fans of this tradition waiting on Tuesday night, when he finally revealed he and Dench were on for the 7th year in a row.
"To answer all your questions, yes Thanksgiving year 7 is planned out! See you guys Thursday!" he wrote, sharing a photo of him and Dench.
Netflix has considered making a film based off their encounter.
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

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.
