Thank You, Trevor!

The next chapter for comedian Trevor Noah.

The final episode of The Daily Show being hosted by longtime host Trevor Noah. The host announced he is retiring from hosting duties to focus on his comedy tour and directing.

"I'm grateful to you, every single one of you," said Noah. "I remember when we started the show, we couldn't get enough people to fill an audience."

For seven years, Trevor came into The Daily Show a humble and talented man. He took over when Jon Stewart retired in 2015 and managed to keep the satirical news program very successful.

In his final taping, Trevor thanked his fans, his writers and the talented correspondents for making the show successful.

"Every seat that has ever been filled to watch something that I'm doing, I always appreciate 'cause I know the empty seat that sits behind it, so thank you. Thank you to the people who watch, the people who share the clips, everyone who's had an opinion, everyone who's been kind enough and gracious enough."

"We still got the ratings."

Trevor thanked Black women especially for saving democracy.

"I've often been credited with having these grand ideas," Noah said. "Who do you think teaches me? Who do you think has shaped me, nourish me, informed me? My mom, my grand, my aunts, all these Black women in my life."

Congratulations Trevor Noah.

He continued on saying that he tells people if they want to learn about America, they should ask Black women because, "unlike everybody else, Black women cannot afford to fuck around and find out."

"Black people understand how hard it is when things go bad," Noah added. "When things go bad, Black people know that it gets worse for them. But Black women, in particular, they know what shit is."

To credit Black women for his achievements took a lot of courage. Given that the noise of the far-right and some of the far-left and hoteps are bitching about Brittney Griner being freed from the Russian Federation's penal colony. She gets to spend her holidays with her wife.

He said in his final closing....

"If you truly want to know what to do or how to do it, or maybe the best way or the most equitable way, talk to Black women. They are a lot of the reasons that I'm here."

Brittney Griner Out Of Russian Custody!

Heading home. Brittney Griner will be in the U.S. by Friday.

Keeping it on the hush, hush, President Joe Biden and U.S. officials worked to get WNBA star Brittney Griner released from a work camp in the Russian Federation. 

Biden said that Paul Whalen, an ex-Marine who was held on the charges of espionage is on his list.

Griner's wife finally got relief.  She appeared with the president, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Anthony Blinkin in the phone call.

The star was sentenced to a work camp after pleading guilty for having canibus oils in her travel packages in February 2021. She got a 10 year bid but it was ended when the U.S. did a prisoner swap with Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer.

In a statement, Russian officials said they exchanged Griner for Bout on Thursday at Abu Dhabi International Airport in the United Arab Emirates. At a news conference on Thursday, Biden confirmed the swap had taken place.

“Brittney will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones,” the president said. “I’m glad to be able to say that Brittney’s in good spirits She’s relieved to finally be heading home.”

The deal reached by officials did not include the release of Paul Whelan, a corporate security executive who has been jailed in Russia on espionage charges since December 2018, according to The Associated Press. Authorities had said for months that they were working to secure the release of both Griner and Whelan.

Biden talks to Griner after she announced her release.

On Thursday, Biden said that officials had not forgotten about Whelan and he promised his administration would continue work to bring him home.

“This was not a choice of which American to bring home,” he said. “Sadly, for totally illegitimate reasons, Russia has treated Paul’s case differently than Brittney’s, and while we have not yet succeeded in securing Paul’s release, we are not giving up. We will never give up.”

Griner’s wife, Cherelle Griner, said she felt “overwhelmed by emotions” on Thursday, chiefly gratitude for the work done to free her wife. While she said the day was “just a happy day for me and my family,” she acknowledged that “there’s so many other families that are not whole.”

“B.G. and I will remain committed to the work of getting every American home, including Paul, whose family is in our hearts today,” she said. “As we celebrate B.G. being home, we do understand that there are still people out there who are enduring what I endured the last nine months of missing tremendously their loved ones.”

Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and Phoenix Mercury center, had been in the custody of Russian officials since February, when authorities said they found less than a gram of cannabis oil in her luggage, according to The Washington Post. She was sentenced to serve 9 1/2 years after a court found her guilty of bringing illegal drugs into the country, The New York Times reported.

The prisoner swap was the second between the U.S. and Russia to take place under Biden, following the release in April of former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed. Reed had been convicted two years earlier of assaulting two Russian police officers and sentenced to nine years in a prison camp. In exchange for his freedom, officials commuted the sentence of Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who had been convicted in 2011 of conspiring to traffic more than $100 million worth of cocaine, and was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison.

Michael Avenatti Got 14 Years To Eat That Federal Sandwich!

More toppings on that federal sandwich for disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti.

Michael Avenatti who made headlines as then adult film star and activist Stormy Daniels' attorney during her fight over a non-disclosure agreement and hush money exploitation trial is sent to federal time out for 14 years after a federal court found him guilty of swindling millions from his clients. 

Daniels was as a victim of his theft.

He was also found guilty in New York which means he will likely get up to 24 years in federal time out.

Avenatti, who vowed to bring Washed Up 45 and Michael Cohen down found himself in their situation.

When your friends become your enemies!

Cohen, who had a feud with Daniels and Avenatti at one time made this remark to the disgraced and disbarred lawyer: "Putz don't drop the soap!"

I'm just kidding.

I can only imagine how Cohen felt when he saw Avenatti got rich off his pain. Cohen spent nearly four years in federal time out after he was convicted for tax fraud and lying to investigators.

In 3021, Avenatti tried to grill his former client Stormy Daniels in his own trial.

Cohen and Daniels ended their feud and made a pledge to keep Washed Up 45 and his allies from ever winning any other election.

Avenatti pleaded guilty earlier this year to four counts of wire fraud and tax-related charges without reaching a plead deal with federal prosecutors, saying he wanted to be held accountable without further embarrassment to his ex-wife and daughters.

Avenatti tried to exploit Nike and many others. He stole from a man who suffered life-altering injuries.

He took an advance of Stormy Daniels' punitive damages to buy luxury vehicles and treat his girlfriend out. He also was hinting a run for president in 2020.

Ted Cruz's Daughter Tried To Kill Herself!

Caro Cruz tried to end it.

The controversial senator needs to stop and think about his wife and daughters. Instead of spending taxpayer money on doing nothing, hosting podcasts, standing up Herschel Walker while ass kissing Washed Up 45, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) decided to ignore the real crisis at home.

This crisis did not involve him leaving the state of Texas for Cancun, Mexico during a blizzard with power outage statewide. 

His 14 year old daughter slit her wrists and the Houston Fire Rescue had to save her life.

She announced she was bisexual and openly denounced her dad's antics.

Caroline Camille Cruz, 14 his eldest daughter is experiencing some things. Being associated to a controversial lawmaker makes life hard for a girl who is trying to adjust to life as a teenager.

Cruz was among a handful of lawmakers who did not wish Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) well when her husband was seriously injured by an extremist. The lawmaker spewed conspiracy theories to why he was attacked.

Now he asks for privacy? 

Yeah right!

The Houston Police Department said it received reports just before 8 p.m. local time on Tuesday of a 14-year-old with self-inflicted stab wounds on their arms in the neighborhood River Oaks, where the Republican lawmaker resides with his wife, Heidi, and their two daughters.

Besides the constituents, Ted Cruz ignores his family.

Authorities said the unidentified teen was taken to the hospital but could not say whether the 911 call involved a member of Cruz's family.

In a statement late Tuesday, Cruz's office said his daughter was OK and asked for privacy for the family.

"This is a family matter and thankfully their daughter is okay," Cruz's representatives said in a statement to KTRK and other outlets.

"There were no serious injuries. The family requests the media respect their daughter's privacy at this time," Cruz's office said.

Laura Ingraham: I'm Pissed!

Because of Laura Ingraham, Republicans lost.

The Republicans were never a party that had popular ideas. They never had candidates that appeal to a broad coalition of voters. In my honest opinion, the Republicans are too extreme. 

Yet, they are the ones who are calling the Democratic Party the extreme. 

The same folks who encourage their own voters to believe their elections were stolen, inflation is out of control but offer nothing to solve it, hype up talk about a coup or civil war, scaring bigots with talk about transgender women playing women sports being bad, claiming gay Americans are grooming children, banning books that talk about Black and indigenous history, supporting books that are racist, mocking Democrats lawmakers and their spouses getting hurt, sending migrants to Democratic mayoral cities, saying President Joe Biden has dementia, calling Vice President Kamala Harris stupid, trolling on social media, Hunter Biden's laptop is more serious than the Jan. 6 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, crime being rampant in "Democrat" cities, scaring white poor voters with fentanyl, the reckless handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the talk about Duchess Meghan of Sussex are the things on Republicans minds.

And it all brought to you by Fox.

Tucker Carlson, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham are the undisputed noise of the far right extremists. Had Republican voters turned off the noise, they may of had better information about who they were dealing with.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) had a better ground game than Stacey Abrams. 

Sen-elect John Fetterman (D-PA) had a better ground game than Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH).

Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker were fired by not only President Joe Biden but the American voters. They were the biggest losers not only to Washed Up 45 but the Republican Party.

Herschel Walker heads back to Texas.

They were election deniers, carpetbaggers and completely utterly stupid. Fox had ferociously pushed these two. They mocked Fetterman for having a stroke and it turned off people with disabilities. They claimed that Warnock ran over his ex-wife's foot in dispute, but completely ignored Walker putting a gun to his first wife's head, forced women to have abortions and literally mocking Black leaders. It turned off Black and young voters.

Yet the race was really close. I mean Walker lost by 34,000 votes. 

I am guessing most white voters supported Walker over Warnock. 

Ingraham for her part was pissed that Republicans failed to win the Senate despite barely winning the House. The far right noise maker claimed the leadership of Ronna Romney McDaniel, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) led to Republican defeat. 

“We felt this coming. To me, it never felt like the Senate Republicans wanted this guy in office. He was a Trump pick, they didn’t like that … but there wasn’t the intensity on the part of the Republicans as there was on the part of Democrats,” Ingraham said on her show shortly after Tuesday’s runoff had been called for Warnock. “We have the same people in place in leadership. The same people in place, apparently at the RNC, perhaps that’s not changing. We just keep doing the same thing over and over again. I’m pissed tonight, frankly. I’m mad.”

Ingraham’s comments come as a number of conservative media pundits, including some on Fox News, have either blamed Washed Up 45 for this year’s GOP midterm performance or suggested the party seek new leadership. The former president has announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2024.

She claims that if Republicans had a better approach to voting they could have flipped Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, New Hampshire and kept Pennsylvania.

Now they have Washed Up 45 as their top pick despite the turmoil he is facing.

Trump Organization Guilty On Tax Fraud!

Protester stands outside Trump Tower.

New York state authorities have the power to dissolve and fine Washed Up 45's company. 

It is currently ran by Eric and Donald Trump, Jr. The company is found guilty of tax fraud and it is now up the state to figure out whether it should be forced to go out of business or dissolve its status in New York state.

The company was convicted of tax fraud Tuesday for helping executives dodge taxes on extravagant perks such as Manhattan apartments and luxury cars, a repudiation of financial practices at the former president’s business as he mounts another run for the White House.

A jury found two corporate entities at the Trump Organization guilty on all 17 counts, including charges of conspiracy and falsifying business records. Washed Up 45 himself was not on trial. The verdict in state court in New York came after about 10 hours of deliberations over two days.

The conviction was validation for New York authorities who say their three-year investigation into Washed Up 45 and his businesses is continuing. The probe, which began as an inquiry into hush-money payments made on the former president’s behalf, later morphed into an examination of the company’s asset valuation and pay practices.

The company faces a fine of up to $1.6 million. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 13. The defense said it will appeal.

“A former president’s companies now stand convicted of crimes. That is consequential,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said outside the courtroom. “It underscores that in Manhattan we have one standard of justice for all.”

Washed Up 45, a Republican who launched his 2024 campaign last month during the trial, blasted the verdict as a part of a Democrat-led “MANHATTAN WITCH HUNT!”

“This case is unprecedented and involved no monetary gain to these two Corporations,” the former president said in a statement, adding: “New York City is a hard place to be ‘Trump.’”

The verdict adds to mounting legal woes for the former president, who faces a criminal investigation in Washington over the retention of top-secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, as well as efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Those inquiries are being led by a newly named Justice Department special counsel. The district attorney in Atlanta is also leading an investigation into attempts by Washed Up 45 and his allies to overturn his loss in that state.

The verdict also comes amid a series of self-inflicted crises for the former president in recent weeks, including anger over his dinner with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and the antisemitic rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and the former president’s for the “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” to address his baseless claims of mass election fraud.

The Trump Organization — and Washed Up 45’s management of it — was at the center of “The Apprentice,” the reality show that solidified his global celebrity. That fame in turn helped fuel his unlikely political rise, allowing him to sell himself to voters as a successful businessman who could take lessons from that sphere and apply them to Washington.

The Manhattan case against the Trump Organization was built largely around testimony from the company’s former finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, who previously pleaded guilty to charges that he manipulated the company’s books to illegally reduce his taxes on $1.7 million in fringe benefits. He testified in exchange for a promised five-month jail sentence.

It is not over.

To convict the Trump Organization, prosecutors had to convince jurors that Weisselberg or an underling he worked with on the scheme was a “high managerial” agent acting on the company’s behalf and that the company also benefited.

Trump Organization lawyers repeated the mantra “Weisselberg did it for Weisselberg” throughout the monthlong trial, contending that he had gone rogue and betrayed the company’s trust. Weisselberg attempted to take responsibility on the witness stand, saying nobody in the Trump family knew what he was doing.

“It was my own personal greed that led to this,” an emotional Weisselberg testified.

But prosecutor Joshua Steinglass alleged in his closing that the former president “knew exactly what was going on” and was “explicitly sanctioning tax fraud.”

Bragg slipped into the courtroom as the verdict was being read. Afterward he refused to answer questions from reporters, ducking behind a glass door as he was asked if he regretted the former president wasn’t charged personally.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office assisted in the investigation, called the verdict a “clear message that no one, and no organization, is above our laws.”

In some ways it’s a limited victory for prosecutors, however.

No one, save for Weisselberg, is going to prison. No one is putting a padlock on Trump Tower or forcing the company out of business. And a potential $1.6 million fine is a rounding error on the budget of an enterprise that boasts billions of dollars in assets.

Still, the Trump Organization may now run into some trouble getting loans and making deals, and New York City could have more leverage to try to end the company’s contract managing a city-owned golf course in the Bronx.

But even as the trial was unfolding, the company struck a deal with Saudi developer Dar Al Arakan to license the Trump name for a golf, hotel and residential development in Oman. Next year, three of Washed Up 45’s golf courses will host tournaments for Saudi-backed LIV Golf.

The bigger threat to the company could be the civil lawsuit James filed in September alleging that it misled banks and others about the value of its many assets, a practice she dubbed the “art of the steal.”

James, a Democrat, is asking a court to ban Washed Up 45 and his three eldest children from running a New York-based company and is seeking to fine them at least $250 million. As a preliminary measure, a judge has appointed an independent monitor to oversee the company’s operations while the case is pending.

Bragg inherited the former president's investigation when he took office in January. His predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., had authorized his deputies to seek a grand jury indictment for the former president, but Bragg soon shut that down and they quit.

Officially, he says, the investigation is “active and ongoing.”

On Monday he sent his strongest signal yet that he’s interested in pursuing more charges, hiring former acting U.S. Assistant Attorney General Matthew Colangelo to lead the probe. Bragg and Colangelo worked together on Washed Up 45-related matters at the state attorney general’s office.

Raphael Warnock Defeats Herschel Walker!

Preach.

Walker: Georgia Senator!

The Democrats managed to get one seat flipped with John Fetterman. But it appears that Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) will finally serve a full six year term as senators. That means a hold on control making it easier (even with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)) to get things done.

Warnock won his runoff against that bone head Herschel Walker, a Washed Up 45 endorsed election denying Black extremist.

Warnock defeated the Republican challenger Walker in a Georgia runoff election Tuesday, ensuring Democrats an outright majority in the Senate for the rest of President Joe Biden’s term and helping cap an underwhelming midterm cycle for the GOP in the last major vote of the year.

With Warnock’s second runoff victory in as many years, Democrats will have a 51-49 Senate majority, gaining a seat from the current 50-50 split with John Fetterman’s victory in Pennsylvania. There will be divided government, however, with Republicans having narrowly flipped House control.

In last month’s election, Warnock led Walker by 37,000 votes out of almost 4 million cast, but fell short of the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. Walker, a football legend who first gained fame at the University of Georgia and later in the NFL in the 1980s, was unable to overcome a bevy of damaging allegations, including claims that he paid for two former girlfriends’ abortions.

Democrats’ Georgia victory solidifies the state’s place as a Deep South battleground two years after Warnock and fellow Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff won 2021 runoffs that gave the party Senate control just months after Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate in 30 years to win Georgia. Voters returned Warnock to the Senate in the same cycle they reelected Republican Gov. Brian Kemp by a comfortable margin and chose an all-GOP slate of statewide constitutional officers.

“I’ll work with anyone to get things done for the people of Georgia,” Warnock, the state’s first Black senator, said throughout his campaign, a nod to the state’s historically conservative lean and his need to win over GOP-leaning independents and at least some moderate Republicans in a midterm election year.

Moron Herschel Walker concedes.

Warnock, 53, paired that argument with an emphasis on his personal values, buoyed by his status as senior pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, where civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. once preached.

Walker’s defeat bookends the GOP’s struggles this year to win with flawed candidates cast from Washed Up 45’s mold, a blow to the former president as he builds his third White House bid.

Democrats’ new outright majority in the Senate means the party will no longer have to negotiate a power-sharing deal with Republicans and won’t have to rely on Vice President Kamala Harris to break as many tie votes.

About 1.9 million runoff votes were cast by mail and during early voting, while the state was on track for a robust Election Day, with state officials estimating an additional 1.4 million votes cast — slightly more than in the November midterm and the 2020 election.

Early and mail voting did not reach the same levels as years past, and it was likely the total number of votes cast would be less than the 2021 Senate runoff election. Voting rights groups point to changes made by state lawmakers after the 2020 election that shortened the period for runoffs, from nine weeks to four, as a major reason for the decline in early and mail voting.

Elections officials reported few problems processing early votes and tabulating ballots cast Tuesday, but there were some delays. In south Georgia’s Lowndes County, two poll workers were in a car accident on the way to the county elections office with the memory cards from one precinct’s polling machines. A Lowndes official said a member of the local elections board went to the accident site to retrieve the memory cards so tabulations could continue.

Walker benefited during the campaign from nearly unmatched name recognition from his football career, yet was dogged by questions about his fitness for office and allegations of hypocrisy.

A multimillionaire businessman, Walker inflated his philanthropic activities and business achievements, including claiming that his company employed hundreds of people and grossed tens of millions of dollars in sales annually, even though records indicate he had eight employees and averaged about $1.5 million a year. He has suggested that he’s worked as a law enforcement officer and graduated college, though he has done neither.

He was accused by two former girlfriends of encouraging and paying for their abortions, despite supporting an outright national ban on the procedure during the campaign. He denied both women’s claims.

He was also forced to acknowledge during the campaign that he had fathered three children out of wedlock whom he had never before spoken about publicly. The mother of one of those children told The Daily Beast that Walker had not seen his young son since January 2016 and had to be taken to court for child support — in direct conflict with Walker’s years spent criticizing absentee fathers and his calls for Black men, in particular, to play an active role in their kids’ lives.

His ex-wife said Walker once held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her. He has never denied those specifics and wrote of his violent tendencies in a 2008 memoir that attributed the behavior to mental illness.

As a candidate, he sometimes mangled policy discussions, attributing the climate crisis to China’s “bad air” overtaking “good air” from the United States and arguing that diabetics could manage their health by “eating right,” a practice that isn’t enough for insulin-dependent diabetic patients.

On Tuesday, Atlanta voter Tom Callaway praised the Republican Party’s strength in Georgia and said he’d supported Kemp in the opening round of voting. But he said he cast his ballot for Warnock because he didn’t think “Herschel Walker has the credentials to be a senator.”

“I didn’t believe he had a statement of what he really believed in or had a campaign that made sense,” Callaway said.

Reality hits the reality TV agitators. Herschel Walker and Mehmet Oz will find home on Fox now that they have lost their elections.

Walker, meanwhile, sought to portray Warnock as a yes-man for Biden. He sometimes made the attack in especially personal terms, accusing Warnock of “being on his knees, begging” at the White House — a searing charge for a Black challenger to level against a Black senator about his relationship with a white president.

“My opponent is not a serious person,” Warnock said during the runoff campaign. “But the election is very serious. Don’t get those two things confused.”

Warnock promoted his Senate accomplishments, touting a provision he sponsored to cap insulin costs for Medicare patients. He hailed deals on infrastructure and maternal health care forged with Republican senators, mentioning those GOP colleagues more than he did Biden or other Washington Democrats.

Warnock distanced himself from Biden, whose approval ratings have lagged as inflation remains high. After the general election, Biden promised to help Warnock in any way he could, even if it meant staying away from Georgia. Bypassing the president, Warnock decided instead to campaign with former President Barack Obama in the days before the runoff election.

Walker, meanwhile, avoided campaigning with Washed Up 45 until the campaign’s final day, when the pair conducted a conference call Monday with supporters.

Walker joins failed Senate nominees Dr. Mehmet Oz of Pennsylvania, Blake Masters of Arizona, Adam Laxalt of Nevada and Don Bolduc of New Hampshire as Washed Up 45 loyalists who ultimately lost races that Republicans once thought they would — or at least could — win.

Biden: No Photo Ops At The Border!

Why should I do a photo op to appease Republicans?

President Joe Biden slaps down Republican and Fox's noise. They are demanding the president visit the U.S.-Mexico border when he travels to Arizona. What is visiting the border gonna do for him?

Absolutely nothing.

Cause regardless, Republicans will complain.

Biden does have more important issues to worry about. The U.S. border is safe. Do not believe the noise. The noise will scare you with talk about illegals and fentanyl, but the border is watched 24/7. Humanitarian assistance is often given and most migrants are seeking asylum like every other person. 

Republicans do not want Brown in this country because it eliminates their white majority rule.

He will also greet Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Gov-Elect Katie Hobbs and outgoing Republican governor Doug Ducey.

He will likely shun Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) in regards to her tepid help in passing legislation.

He is traveling to Phoenix for a groundbreaking of a Taiwanese based computer chips company being built in the area.

Fox, best known for pushing culture wars and white nationalism had its White House reporter Steve Doocy badger Biden about the border.

"Why go to a border state and not visit the border?" Doocy asked.

"Because there are more important things going on," Biden responded. "They’re going to invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise."

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed Republican border visits as "political stunts" last month.

Conservatives screech about the border but offer no real solutions.

The U.S. has seen record levels of illegal immigration throughout the Biden administration. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported 230,000 border encounters in October alone, an all-time monthly record that broke the previous record set in September.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) who lives over 250 miles from the border complained that Biden and the Democrats not taken the border seriously. This canard about the border has been played everyday on the far right media like Fox and the rest of the noise.

This is not biggest problem in the country.

Gun violence is the biggest problem in the country.

Republicans vow to impose policies that require migrants to remain in Mexico, punish human trafficking and push for impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

It is a desperate ploy to court white nationalists.

Dried Up!

Go somewhere.

Democratic Arizona governor-elect Katie Hobbs is not concerned too much about her rival's noise. 

However, she will probably hire more security and will make sure her No. 1 job will be restoring the trust in Arizona's election system. Hobbs defeated Kari Lake, a Washed Up 45 endorsed conspiracy theorist who once was a respectable news anchor.

The state certifies the results and the Republican continue to balk that the results were rigged to favor Hobbs despite the latter being false.

The certification opens a five-day window for formal election challenges. Republican Kari Lake, who lost the race for governor, is expected to file a lawsuit in the coming days after she’s spent weeks of criticizing the administration of the election.

Election results have largely been certified without issue around the country, but Arizona was an exception. Several Republican-controlled counties delayed their certification despite no evidence of problems with the vote count. Cochise County in southeastern Arizona blew past the deadline last week, forcing a judge to intervene on Thursday and order the county supervisors to certify the election by the end of the day.

“Arizona had a successful election,” Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat who beat Lake in the race for governor, said before signing the certification. “But too often throughout the process, powerful voices proliferated misinformation that threatened to disenfranchise voters.”

The statewide certification, known as a canvass, was signed by Hobbs, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Chief Justice Robert Brutinel, a Ducey appointee.

Gov. Doug Ducey along with Secretary of State, Gov-elect Katie Hobbs sign off certifications of state results.

When the same group certified the 2020 election, Ducey silenced a call from Washed Up 45, who was at the time in a frenetic push to persuade Republican allies to go along with his attempts to overturn the election he lost.

“This is a responsibility I do not take lightly,” Ducey said. “It’s one that recognizes the votes cast by the citizens of our great state.”

Republicans have complained for weeks about Hobbs’ role in certifying her own victory, though it is typical for election officials to maintain their position while running for higher office. Lake and her allies have focused on problems with ballot printers that produced about 17,000 ballots that could not be tabulated on site and had to be counted at the elections department headquarters.

Lines backed up in some polling places, fueling Republican suspicions that some supporters were unable to cast a ballot, though there’s no evidence it affected the outcome. County officials say everyone was able to vote and all legal ballots were counted.

Hobbs immediately petitioned the Maricopa County Superior Court to begin an automatic statewide recount required by law in three races decided by less than half a percentage point. The race for attorney general was one of the closest contests in state history, with Democrat Kris Mayes leading Republican Abe Hamadeh by just 510 votes out of 2.5 million cast.

The races for superintendent of public instruction and a state legislative seat in the Phoenix suburbs will also be recounted, but the margins are much larger.

Once a Republican stronghold, Arizona’s top races went resoundingly for Democrats after Republicans nominated a slate of candidates backed by Washed Up 45 who focused on supporting his false claims about the 2020 election. In addition to Hobbs and Mayes, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly was reelected and Democrat Adrian Fontes won the race for secretary of state.

Did The Far Right Sabotage The Power Grid Because Of A Drag Show?

Terrorist intentionally destroyed North Carolina power grid.

When will they hold these noise makers responsible for domestic terrorism?

Elon Musk, are you willing to enable "Libs of TikTok" by continuing this noise on your platform all in rights of "free speech?"

What has a drag queen ever done to you?

Anyway, these Christian extremists are worked up over drag queens performing at read-a-longs at public libraries and performing shows at community theaters.

This happened in Columbus, Ohio. The Patriot Front and the Proud Boys came to the city armed to protest a drag storytime at the Red Oak Community School. There were 50 to 70 ignorant bastards armed to the teeth. They wore tactical gear, face masks and chanted, "life, liberty, victory" and "reclaim America."

The Columbus Division of Police also iced a cop after he gave a high five to a white nationalist.

More on that later.

In North Carolina, the state authorities and the feds are investigating a possible act of domestic terrorism. Terrorists are suspected of causing a major power outage in Moore County. 

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Roy Cooper, Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sen-elect Ted Budd (R-NC) and the U.S. Representatives from the state are notified of this. 

Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said that a mandatory curfew has been issued and Duke Energy has round the clock workers hoping to restore power to the county.

Libs of TikTok is a profile on Twitter and other far-right platforms. The profile probably posted the Downtown Divas show and some believe that an extremist deliberately attacked the power grid to interrupt the show. It was held in the city of Southern Pines. A fundraiser for LGBTQ youth and families, the Downtown Divas were there to perform for families.

There were protests though. The show started late because of the power outage. But after 40 minutes, the performers and guests improvised. They decided to use their phone lights and cameras to keep the show going.

They vow to return despite the noise of the far-right.

A 32-year old extremist from the state had made incriminating statements to why the power grid was attacked.

"The power is out in Moore County and I know why."

This is the noise that is driven by the far-right. The politicians and media agitators who endorse the attack on the LGBTQ community are mainly responsible for the actions of those who sabotaged the electrical grid.

Assured if caught, they face state and federal charges. A heavy federal sandwich if they're caught of this. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

A post shared by John Travolta (@johntravolta)

Actor John Travolta, who lost his wife Kelly Preston to cancer and son Jett to an accidental drowning shared his thoughts on his friend and "Look Who's Talking?" co-star.

Her breakout role was as Rebecca Howe on the NBC sitcom. 

She got an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe for that role.

Alley also went to other sitcoms like "Veronica's Closet" and "Fat Actress."

Alley also in memorable films like "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," "Summer School," "It Takes Too," and "Loverboy."

Alley was considered a controversial figure when it came to politics and body image. She was addicted to cocaine and tried to get off it through Scientology. She got through it with Narconon, a Scientology-affiliated drug treatment program to end the addiction. She also battled alcoholism.

She was always afraid of folks considering her a fat woman. The actress became a spokesperson for Jenny Craig and endorsed their products for years until she gained weight again.

She was once a Democrat but ended that notion when she vowed to not support Hillary Clinton. She endorsed Washed Up 45 in 2016 and 2020. She said, "He's not a politician" and felt that he shook the core of America. 

She was considered a washed up celebrity. Many felt that her devotion to Scientology and support for Washed Up 45 led her to lackluster hiring. 

She had another one season sitcom, "Kristie" and continued that role on "Hot in Cleveland."

She also appeared on "The Middle", "Scream Queens," "Dancing with the Stars," "Celebrity Big Brother 22," and most recently "The Masked Singer."
