The Penis State with the dickhead governor. Shout out to Tiffany Cross.
MSNBC fired her earlier this month because she took a cue from folks like me. She and folks like me think Florida's move to the Republicans led the state into extremism.
Ron DeSantis is a moron and potential candidate for 2024 if Washed Up 45 implodes.
The quiet civil war between these two is a part of the Floridah noise.
Real noise.
A man dies after he drove his car into a fireworks store in West Melbourne. It was sparked by a car accident, killing the driver as fireworks exploded and smoke filled the sky.
It was sparked by a car accident, killing one driver as fireworks exploded and smoke filled the sky.
The area was full of firefighters and equipment to put out the massive fire.
Florida Highway Patrol is leading the investigation into the crash that led to the fire.
The two-car crash happened as rush hour was gearing up in the busy intersection of West New Haven Avenue and John Rodes Boulevard, just off Interstate 95.
The crash resulted in a Dodge Durango SUV running straight through the front of the Phantom Fireworks store, which then quickly caught on fire.
FHP troopers said that the SUV rear-ended a pickup truck at the intersection.
“That’s when the vehicle struck her a second time and pushed her through the intersection and into the parking lot. As she got into the parking lot, she realized that the vehicle was not stopping and continued to push her,” Lt. Channing Taylor with FHP said.
The woman turned and the SUV continued straight, crashing through the front of the fireworks store.
The 53-year-old male driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
“We are in contact with the family and they were unable to provide any medical reasons or medical issues that the driver was having that might explain what happened,” Taylor said.
Business gone and a man looses his life.
Neighbor Chris Webb has been concerned about Phantom Fireworks within a residential area for years.
“A little bit upset thinking that it could have been worse. Knowing these people are right here. My own family stays here sometimes. It’s kind of scary to know that,” Webb said.
The FHP investigation is ongoing and one of the following steps will be to inspect the vehicles to see if there was any mechanical malfunction.
Viewer videos from Candy Tout Turner and David Pickell, respectively, show fireworks going off as the store burned.
"Once you saw the car like there were flames coming out through the side windows and under the car," said witness Andy Cambron.
"It was pretty loud and big and scary. It shook the building. We heard the tires screech of the car," said Colleen Walker, another witness.
The Brevard Fire Chief says it took about two hours to get it under control.
"The fire extended through every bit of the building so the crews were met with heavy fire conditions along with a lot of fireworks," Patrick Voltaire said. "We had to put up aerial master streams to challenge the fire. We couldn't make an attack too close to the building."
Eastbound lanes of Highway 192 were blocked momentarily and are now re-opened.
Officials say they are still investigating the cause of the crash.
Elmer Stewart Rhodes has now found himself on the listing of few Americans who were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Rhodes and another associate were convicted and face the possibility of a hefty bid in federal time out. This also includes a handful of associates who escaped the sedition charges.
A Washington, D.C., jury found Rhodes guilty of sedition after three days of deliberations in the nearly two-month-long trial that showcased the far-right extremist group’s efforts to keep Washed Up 45 in the White House at all costs.
Rhodes was acquitted of two other conspiracy charges. A co-defendant — Kelly Meggs, who led the antigovernment group’s Florida chapter — was also convicted of seditious conspiracy, while three other associates were cleared of that charge. Jurors found all five defendants guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding: Congress’ certification of Biden’s electoral victory.
The verdict, while mixed, marks a significant milestone for the Justice Department and is likely to clear the path for prosecutors to move ahead at full steam in upcoming trials of other extremists accused of sedition.
Rhodes and Meggs are the first people in nearly three decades to be found guilty at trial of seditious conspiracy — a rarely used Civil War-era charge that can be difficult to prove. The offense calls for up to 20 years behind bars.
It could embolden investigators, whose work has expanded beyond those who attacked the Capitol to focus on others linked to Washed Up 45’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently named a veteran prosecutor, Jack Smith, to serve as special counsel to oversee key aspects of a probe into efforts to subvert the election as well as a separate investigation into the retention of classified documents at Washed Up 45’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.
Garland said after the verdict that the Justice Department “is committed to holding accountable those criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy on January 6, 2021.”
“Democracy depends on the peaceful transfer of power. By attempting to block the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, the defendants flouted and trampled the rule of law,” Steven M. D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, said in an emailed statement. “This case shows that force and violence are no match for our country’s justice system
Jury didn't buy his bullshit.
Using dozens of encrypted messages, recordings and surveillance video, prosecutors made the case that Rhodes began shortly after the 2020 election to prepare an armed rebellion to stop the transfer of presidential power.
Over seven weeks of testimony, jurors heard how Rhodes rallied his followers to fight to defend Washed Up 45, discussed the prospect of a “bloody” civil war and warned the Oath Keepers may have to “rise up in insurrection” to defeat Biden if Washed Up 45 didn’t act.
Defense attorneys accused prosecutors of twisting their clients’ words and insisted the Oath Keepers came to Washington only to provide security for figures such as Roger Stone, a longtime Washed Up 45 ally. The defense focused heavily on seeking to show that Rhodes’ rhetoric was just bluster and that the Oath Keepers had no plan before Jan. 6 to attack the Capitol.
Rhodes intends to appeal, defense attorney James Lee Bright told reporters. Another Rhodes lawyer, Ed Tarpley, described the verdict as a “mixed bag,” adding, “This is not a total victory for the government in any way, shape or form.”
“We feel like we presented a case that showed through evidence and testimony that Mr. Rhodes did not commit the crime of seditious conspiracy,” Tarpley said.
On trial alongside Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, and Meggs, were Kenneth Harrelson, another Florida Oath Keeper; Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer from Virginia; and Jessica Watkins, who led an Ohio militia group.
Caldwell was convicted on two counts and acquitted on three others, including seditious conspiracy. His attorney, David Fischer, called the verdict “major victory” for his client and a “major defeat” for the Justice Department. He also said he would appeal the two convictions.
Jury selection for a second group of Oath Keepers facing seditious conspiracy charges is scheduled to begin next week. Several members of the Proud Boys, including the former national chairman Enrique Tarrio, are also scheduled to go to trial on the sedition charge in December.
In an extraordinary move, Rhodes took the stand to tell jurors there was no plan to attack the Capitol and insist that his followers who went inside the building went rogue.
Rhodes testified that he had no idea that his followers were going to join the mob and storm the Capitol and said he was upset after he found out that some did. Rhodes said they were acting “stupid” and outside their mission for the day.
Jurors heard how Rhodes spent thousands of dollars on an AR-platform rifle, magazines, mounts, sights and other equipment on his way to Washington ahead of the riot. They watched surveillance footage from the Virginia hotel where some Oath Keepers stashed weapons for “quick reaction force” teams prosecutors said were ready to get weapons into the city quickly if they were needed. The weapons were never deployed.
On Jan. 6, Oath Keepers wearing combat gear were seen on camera shouldering their way through the crowd and into the Capitol. Rhodes remained outside like a “general surveying his troops on the battlefield,” a prosecutor said. After the riot, Rhodes and other Oath Keepers went to an Olive Garden restaurant to celebrate, according to prosecutors.
Two Ohio militia members were also convicted for disruption of Congress but acquitted of sedition.
The trial revealed new details about Rhodes’ efforts to pressure Washed Up 45 to fight to stay in White House in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6. Shortly after the election, in a group chat that included Stone called “FOS” or “Friends of Stone,” Rhodes wrote, “So will you step up and push Trump to FINALLY take decisive action?”
nother man testified that after the riot, Rhodes tried to persuade him to pass along a message to Washed Up 45 that urged the president not to give up his fight to hold onto power. The intermediary — a man who told jurors he had an indirect way to reach the president — recorded his meeting with Rhodes and went to the FBI instead of giving the message to the former president.
“If he’s not going to do the right thing and he’s just gonna let himself be removed illegally then we should have brought rifles,” Rhodes said during that meeting, according to a recording played for jurors. “We should have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang (expletive) Pelosi from the lamppost,” Rhodes said, referring to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Three other Oath Keepers previously pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy. The last time the Justice Department had secured such a conviction at trial, though, was in the 1995 prosecution of Islamic militants who plotted to bomb New York City landmarks.
Notice Elon Musk is calling for a boycott of Apple while tweeting from an iPhone.
Devastating blow to Elon Musk and Twitter. Apple executives have warned Twitter that if the company does not take action to curb hate, misinformation and the bot farm, they will no longer operate its app on the Apple Store.
Republicans also vow to investigate Apple and Google.
The billionaire CEO of Twitter and Tesla said Apple was pressuring Twitter over content moderation demands.
The action, unconfirmed by Apple, would not be unusual as the company has routinely enforced its rules and previously removed apps such as Gab and Parler.
Since he took over Twitter, he has released 75% of the staff. It led to global outrage from nations that saw staffers released without any warning. Twitter has been unfiltered since Musk's stench reigned over it.
It has shared racism, pirated movies, child pornography, adult content and constant misinformation.
Musk claimed on Monday in a series of tweets that Apple had threatened to remove the Twitter app from the App Store if he doesn't get things under control.
“Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why,” Musk tweeted.
In other tweets fired off on Monday morning, he called Apple’s App Store fees a “secret 30% tax,” and ran a poll asking if “Apple should publish all censorship actions it has taken that affect its customers.” He also claimed that Apple has pulled most of its advertising from Twitter.
Apple’s App Store is the only way to distribute software to iPhones. If the Twitter app were pulled, the social network would lose one of its main distribution platforms, although the service is available for the web.
Only 12 Republicans in the U.S. Senate joined the 48 Democrats and two independents in passing a historical law that keeps equality and marriage as the law of the land. Once it likely clears the House of Representatives, President Joe Biden will sign it into law.
Before the circus of ignorance take control of the House on Jan. 3, Democrats hold lame duck sessions in which bills to keep government running are passed, Biden's nominees to the federal courts are confirmed, losing candidates pack their things, newly elected move in and the continuing go home to brag about how they survived an election.
The Respect for Marriage Act will be the game changer going into 2024 with Democrats already setting sights on making sure Republicans are held accountable for governance. They are going to assure voters that if the Republicans stray into culture wars like they often do, Democrats will keep the pressure on them.
This will be a barrier if the Supreme Court or a state challenges a federal law recognizing same sex marriage and interracial marriage.
12 Republican senators out of 50.
That will be 38 senator out of 100.
Only 3% of the Republicans seriously believe that marriage should be equal. That means they are against interracial marriage.
Interracial marriage is on the rise.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), Sen. Todd Young (R-IN), Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Sen. Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) broke with the extremists to support the Democrats in passing this bill.
These senators realized that their party is out of touch. Most of these senators are out of touch.
About 60 percent of Americans support a federal marriage equality law, according to a Politico and Morning Consult poll conducted last summer. Notably, the bill also protects interracial marriages.
The Supreme Court's Clarence Thomas had signalled that he would support overturning the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges decision. He and the five assholes in the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade which gave women the right to privacy, choice to have a pregnancy or termination. It was overturned and it triggered Republican states to pass statewide bans.
The Flipper joins Dems in protecting marriage equality,
The measure now heads to the House and, assuming it passes, to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) told reporters Tuesday that the House plans to take up and pass the bill as soon as next Tuesday.
The bill does two things: It repeals the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 federal law that banned same-sex marriage, and it requires states to recognize valid same-sex marriages from other states. It also ensures the same protections for interracial marriages.
Actor and professor Clarence Gilyard, Jr. passed away from unknown illness.
Perhaps best known for his martial arts in the crime action drama Walker: Texas Ranger, Clarence Gilyard, Jr. Was one of the best. He passed away at the age of 66.
Gilyard Jr., a popular supporting actor whose credits include the blockbuster films “Die Hard” and “Top Gun” and the hit television series “Matlock” and “Walker, Texas Ranger,” has died at age 66.
His death was announced this week by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he taught stage and screen acting. Additional details were not immediately available Tuesday.
“Professor Gilyard was a beacon of light and strength for everyone around him at UNLV,” the school’s film chair, Heather Addison, said in a statement. “Whenever we asked him how he was, he would cheerfully declare that he was ‘Blessed!’ But we are truly the ones who were blessed to be his colleagues and students for so many years.”
Gilyard was a Moses Lake, Washington, native. He had a prolific career as an actor, starting in the 1980s with appearances in “Diff’rent Strokes,” ”The Facts of Life” and other shows. He then appeared in two of the biggest movies of the decade: “Top Gun,” in which he played Sundown, a radar intercept officer, and “Die Hard,” when he was featured as a villainous computer maven whose one liners included “You didn’t bring me along for my charming personality.”
In the 1990s, he was on the side of law enforcement in “Matlock,” playing opposite Andy Griffith, and “Walker, Texas Ranger,” which starred Chuck Norris. His other credits include “The Karate Kid: Part II,” a stage production of “Driving Miss Daisy” and an appearance alongside “Die Hard” star Bruce Willis in a commercial for DieHard batteries.
Gilyard was married twice and had six children. His first marriage, to Catherine Dutko, ended in divorce, and he married his second wife, Elena Castillo, in 2001.
He served as the consultant of the communications committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
After a long illness, Gilyard died in November 2022, at the age of 66.
Gilyard was born into a military family in Moses Lake, Washington, on Christmas Eve, in 1955, the son of Barbara and Clarence Darnell Gilyard Sr., a U.S. Air Force officer. Gilyard was the second of six children.
Clarence and Chuck Norris were iconic lawmen on Walker, Texas Ranger.
His family was originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, but Gilyard grew up on Air Force bases in Hawaii, Texas, and Florida. Raised primarily as a Lutheran, he became Catholic in the 1990s.
During his young adulthood, Gilyard lived in the San Bernardino suburb of Rialto, California, and attended Eisenhower High School. He was an excellent student, graduating in 1974, and afterward spent a year as an Air Force Academy cadet before leaving the service to attend Sterling College.
In college, he played football, and became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He also received a tennis scholarship, but dropped out of school before completing his studies.
While living with his parents in high school, Gilyard was preoccupied with women, alcohol, and occasionally, drugs. His parents urged him to move out, so he relocated to Long Beach, California, with a friend. He attended California State University, Long Beach, majoring in acting, and worked as a waiter while seeking acting opportunities. He completed his bachelor's degree at California State University, Dominguez Hills.
Gilyard worked with a housemate at a clothing store, where he was promoted to manager. He left this to work briefly selling industrial chemicals. In 2003, Gilyard returned to school, receiving a master of fine arts in theatre performance at Southern Methodist University.
White terrorist was out on bail when he went back to his old ways.
White privilege once again raises its ugly head. Had this been a Black man who committed murder and given a bond to be out?
A white terrorist who killed three Black men was granted a "get out free card" and already abused it by staying in a dope spot. Notice, he is a man but the junk food media regard him as a teenager.
Some are calling it a travesty. Cause if this was a Black man who murdered three white people, rest assured he would not be getting a "get out free card."
This happened in Indianapolis.
Marion County Prosecutors revoked the bond of this white terrorist who turned 18 last Wednesday morning and celebrated with a female friend in her brother’s house, where Indy police detectives served a search warrant and claimed they found marijuana, ammunition and four guns.
the terrorist was out on bond at the time, wearing a GPS monitor on his ankle, and free pending trial because his attorney convinced a judge the search warrant linking him to the murder weapon was deficient. She threw out the evidence, the prosecutor appealed and now a higher court will need to rule.
The terrorist is now back inside the Marion County Adult Detention Center and facing a Wednesday hearing and charges of dealing marijuana, visiting a common nuisance, invasion of privacy and violating his pre-trial release conditions.
The terrorist’s attorney says Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department detectives have a vendetta against his client.
“It’s trumped up. They want him back in jail,” said David Hennessy. “I think they’re a little bitter. They messed up their own case.”
The mother of one of the terrorist’s alleged victims said she expected the accused killer would soon be back in jail after his release last month.
“I’m not surprised. This is what I expected because Caden Smith is clearly a criminal,” said Gladys Larsen whose son, Michael James, Jr., 22, was found shot to death in a secluded area near the 4400 block of South Meridian Street. “He is definitely someone who should remain in the Marion County jail.”
IMPD homicide detectives charge that James, Joseph Thomas, 18, and Abdullah Mubarak, 17, were killed over the course of two nights in October of 2021 as they met with the terrorist to look at or buy a gun.
Investigators said they later found that gun in a search of the relative’s home where the terrorist was staying on West Thompson Road, across I-465 from the murder scenes.
White terrorist murders a promising young Black teen.
Hennessy argued that the detectives could not have known the gun would be in the terrorist’s bedroom in the home and Judge Jennifer Prinz Harrison agreed, dismissing the evidence before prosecutors appealed her ruling and she ordered the defendant released on bail and tethered to a GPS electronic monitoring device with no restrictions beyond typical orders to stay away from witnesses in the case.
Hennessy said his client did not violate the pre-trial release order.
“We haven’t been informed of any protected area. There’s no limitations on the hours. There’s no limitations on his movements,” he said. “The violation is a product of the no-contact orders. When you have a no-contact order, you can’t have any guns. He didn’t have any guns. They said, ‘in the house’. Not his house. Not his guns.”
In the Notice of the Pre-Trial Release Violation, an IMPD detective wrote, “Mr. Smith is not to possess firearms or have firearms in the residence he is staying in. On 11/23/22, IMPD served a search warrant and found (Smith) having firearms in the house, one of which, was reported stolen out of Hamilton County, Indiana.”
“The police did not indicate where they found anything,” argued Hennessy. “On visiting a common nuisance, it has to be more than one time and you have to know what’s in the house.”
Gladys Larsen recently spent her second birthday and Thanksgiving without her son, and thinks the terrorist is to blame.
“He was actually released on GPS to go home with his family for the holidays and my son Michael James, Joseph Thomas and Abdullah Mubarak are no longer here, and Caden Smith decides to go on his birthday and hang out somewhere where there are guns and drugs so, yes, he is definitely someone who should remain in the Marion County jail.”
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Former New Orleans rapper Christopher "B.G." Dorsey is rumored to be leaving federal time out in less than a month. It appears that 14 year sentence is commuted to less than 12 years.
Bryan "Baby" Williams, known as Birdman, the CEO of Cash Money Records and Rich Gang said that B.G. will be released within a few weeks. After numerous denials, it appears that he will get a conditional release.
In July 2012, B.G. was sentenced to 14 years behind bars after pleading guilty to firearm possession. He also pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and convincing an associate to claim ownership of the gun.
In September, U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan rejected a motion filed by another inmate on B.G.’s behalf. The motion requested for the judge to have the rapper’s 14-year sentence reduced.
B.G. first requested an early release in February after the Bureau of Prisons system went into lockdown due to violence in USP Beaumont. During that time, the rapper wrote that “murder and mayhem” were normal incidents at the federal facility where he was located. He added that the public had no idea what was really going on behind prison walls. In addition, he claimed his health issues make him more prone to catching COVID-19.
In June, B.G filed another motion, which was supported by letters from Birdman, Ronald "Slim" Williams, Wendy Day and Gary Payton Jr., to be released early. Unfortunately, Judge Morgan denied that motion as well.
B.G. along with Lil Wayne, Mannie Fresh, Juvenile, Turk and Birdman
B.G. got his start in hip-hop when he was 14 years old. He and Lil Wayne, then 11 signed to Cash Money under the group, The B.G.z.
The two would dissolve the group to join local rapper Juvenile, Turk and Lil Derrick (Bullet Proof) to become the Hot Boys. The album sold well in the South but what took Cash Money to its greatness was Juvenile's 400 Degrees.
B.G. went on to release five labels with the label. His debut Chopper City was released in 1996 when he was 15 years old.
The major label debut album Chopper City in the Ghetto went platinum.
B.G. had left Cash Money citing disputes over money. He has released 10 albums before he went federal time out.
Rep. Donald McEachin (D-VA) passed away from colorectal cancer. The lawmaker recently won his reelection. He was 61 years old. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and the Congressional Black Caucus were notified.
In 2018, McEachin revealed that he had developed a fistula after completing treatment for colorectal cancer in 2014, losing more than 60 pounds (27 kg) as a result. At a film screening of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever shortly before his death, McEachin endorsed early detection, saying, “Don’t fool around. Don’t go through my journey,” and “Go to the doctor.”
McEachin was first elected to Congress in 2016, serving Virginia's 4th District. He was re-elected to the House for a fourth term earlier this month.
"We are all devastated at the passing of our boss and friend, Congressman Donald McEachin," Tara Rountree, his chief of staff wrote. "Valiantly, for years now, we have watched him fight and triumph over the secondary effects of his colorectal cancer from 2013. Tonight, he lost that battle, and the people of Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District lost a hero who always, always fought for them and put them first."
She continued: "Until a new representative is elected, our office will remain open and continue to serve our constituents. The family asks for privacy at this time. Arrangements will be announced over the next few days."
McEachin was the third-ever African American to represent Virginia in the U.S. House.
Tountree, released a statement Monday night announcing McEachin's passing.
The lawmaker who represents Richmond, Petersburg, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Winsdor, Emporia, Chesterfield, Sussex and Hopewell.
That being said, Republican governor Glenn Youngkin will issue a special election to fill the seat.
The district is reliably Democratic so it should be an easily won district. But again, we can not take our foot off the gas. Republicans will waste no time trying to convince the voters that within a mere few months, they are the party that did more despite doing nearly nothing the first two years of President Joe Biden's agenda.
McEachin will be the latest member who died while in office.
Rep.-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) died from the coronavirus before taking office in late 2020, just after the election. The widow, Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) now holds the seat.
The following members have also died:
Ron Wright (R-TX), coronavirus. Rep. Jake Ellzey (R-TX) now holds the seat.
Alcee Hastings (D-FL), cancer. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) now holds the seat.
Jim Hagedorn (R-MN), cancer and coronavirus. Rep. Brad Finstad (R-MN) now holds the seat.
Don Young (R-AK), natural causes. Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) now holds the seat.
Jackie Walorski (R-IN), fatal car accident. Rep. Rudy Yakym (R-IN) now holds the seat.
The 2022 attack on Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo is already forgotten due to Uvalde and every freaking mass shooting after that. It is a common theme of the junk food media, follow the blood, cover it for a handful of days, Congress reacts and nothing gets done.
The white terrorist spend the rest of his life in prison after admitting one state charge of domestic terrorism motivated by hate over the massacre in Buffalo in May.
Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said the terrorist had pleaded guilty to all charges, including 10 counts of murder in the first degree and three attempted murder charges.
"While justice has been accomplished, nothing will ever bring back the 10 beautiful people who lost their lives on that day," Flynn told reporters.
"Hopefully the legal closure will provide the families and the victims some measure of relief," he added.
The terrorist had planned the attack for months, targeting Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo because of its large surrounding African-American population.
He drove from his hometown of Conklin, more than 200 miles (322 kilometers) away, with the intention of killing as many Black people as possible, prosecutors said.
Wearing heavy body armor and wielding an AR-15 assault rifle, the terrorist shot four people in the store's parking lot, three of them fatally, before entering the supermarket.
Among those killed inside was a retired police officer working as a security guard. He fired several shots at the terrorist before being shot himself, police said.
The terrorist wore a helmet with a video camera attached and live-streamed the attack on the platform Twitch.
White terrorist went to Buffalo to target Black people.
He is the first person in New York to be convicted of the state's domestic terrorism charge, which was introduced in 2020. It carries a penalty of life without parole.
The terrorist still faces federal hate crime charges that could see him receive the death penalty.
He had initially pleaded not guilty to a single count of first-degree murder before state authorities later added the other charges.
Our priorities will he focusing on fentanyl and Hunter Biden.
They already signalled they will not pass any laws that involve firearm safety or preventions of potential gun violence. Republicans have an agenda of noise.
The noise's plan is to undermine President Joe Biden and Democrats.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is an ineffective lawmaker. He should be appreciative to the president for giving unlimited disaster relief to the victims of Mayfeld, Kentucky. In December 2021, a destructive EF5 tornado tore through Comer's district and killed over 100 people.
I guess all good deeds must be punished.
Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) are going to launch investigations into Hunter Biden.
Nevermind the Jan. 6 insurrection which a former president led a mob of his supporters to overthrow democracy. Let's worry about Biden's troubled son.
In the wake of a mass shooting in Colorado Springs, Chesapeake and two more in Atlanta and New Orleans, Biden called for Congress to pass a bill that would ban semi-automatic firearms.
What the Republicans and far right do, turn to Chicago. Turn to looting and fentanyl.
While appearing on GOP Sundays with Chuck Todd, Comer pivots.
"I mean, we already have many gun laws on the books. If passing a bill would simply end gun violence, then I think you would have overwhelming support in Congress for that. That’s like saying 'Congress could pass a bill that reduced inflation.' That didn’t reduce inflation.
So you know, passing bills doesn’t solve the problems. We have, as Governor Youngkin said, a mental health crisis in America. And I think there’s overwhelming bipartisan support to fund better mental health programs, and try to increase communication between law enforcement agencies and social services groups to try to better identify these troubled people before they commit crimes."
Todd kept pressing to no avail.
"How would you suggest we go about preventing mentally unstable folks from purchasing guns if we don’t have a waiting period, or don’t have certain classifications for certain weapons? Is there a way to do this?" said Todd.
Comer responded with a pivot to fentanyl.
"It’s very difficult. You know, the number one priority with respect to crime in America for Republicans is going to be the fentanyl crisis. We talk about terrible gun crimes in America, but we’ve had over 100,000 deaths because of fentanyl pouring across our border, which is unsecured right now. That’s going to be the top priority for Republicans come January ...... you talk about this a lot on Meet the Press, but when you look at cities that have the most strict gun laws, like Washington D.C., Chicago, these are the cities with the highest rates of crimes committed with guns. So you know, just simply passing more bills isn’t going to solve the problem.
I think we need to get serious about law enforcement, we need to invest in more law enforcement, and again, we need to invest in mental health and try to improve communication between our social agencies, as well as our law enforcement."
Veteran hip-hop manager Jonathan “Hovain” Hylton has passed away.
The tragic news was announced on Saturday in a message shared to Hovain’s Instagram account.
“It is with deep regret that we message to all family, friends, and colleagues that Jonathan ‘Hovain’ Hylton passed away while at his home on Friday. He was a beloved and devoted father, husband, son, brother, and a proud Brooklyn representative,” the statement read.
It continued: “We’d like to thank all of his close friends for all of the love and support that you have shown during this difficult time. We ask that you all continue to keep his family in your prayers and respect their privacy at this time.”
A cause of death was not disclosed.
A veteran hip-hop manager and president of management at Cinematic Music Group, Hovain previously worked with legendary artists such as Cam’Ron, Jim Jones, Styles P, Lloyd Banks and T-Pain.
Countless rappers have taken to social media to pay tribute to the Brooklyn native.
Nearly a month into the killing of Migos rapper Takeoff, the feds and Houston Police have arrested a 16-year old Black terrorist. The terrorist has apparent ties to James Prince, Jr., the son of Rap-a-Lot founder J. Prince.
Mob Ties Records is the label founded by Prince, Jr. The terrorist is a member of the label.
In early November in the aftermath of a Halloween private party, Takeoff was shot at point blank range by a Black terrorist. It happened after Quavo got into a heated argument with Prince.
Now the terrorist is in custody on gun possession charges. He is being charged as an adult. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Houston’s Harris County Sheriff’s Office and handed a felony charge for “unlawful carrying weapons.” There is heavy speculation that this arrest is in connection to Takeoff’s investigation because the terrorist is alleged to have unlawfully had a handgun in his possession on the night of Takeoff’s death in Houston, though that connection has not been explicitly nor officially drawn.
Takeoff died at 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston. He was attending a private event with Quavo. Houston Police confirmed that an altercation during a dice game outside of the venue led to shots being fired, fatally striking Takeoff. His celebration of life took place at State Farm Arena in his hometown Atlanta on November 11.
Legends never die.
Chief Finner provided a vague update on the ongoing investigation to KPRC 2 (as noted by iHeart), noting he felt “confident” that a suspect will be brought to justice and dispelling any notion that his department’s manhunt was running dry.
“I feel good where we’re progressing,” he said. “You remember on that day, I met with his mother. I talked with that lady personally, made a promise and there’s a lot being said. We want all investigations on murders when people are being killed to move. But the main thing is we get it right. I do not want to send family members on a rollercoaster ride, and then we have to come back and say, ‘Whoa, that wasn’t the person.’ I want everyone to be patient and just understand there will be some justice here in Houston, Texas.”
