Lynnette "Diamond" Hardaway Passed Away!

Black conservative social media agitator Diamond passed away.

The controversial Black duo is no more. It was announced by Washed Up 45 and [Herneitha] Rochelle "Silk" Hardaway-Richardson that [Ineitha] Lynnette "Diamond" Hardaway has passed away. Some claim she died from severe complications of the coronavirus.

Diamond & Silk shot to fame after they made a viral video slamming Megyn Kelly while praising the former reality television star, business mogul turned politician.

They were the biggest Black supporters besides gay Black agitators Terrence K. Williams and Christian Walker. Christian somewhat denounced MAGA and Terrence has resorted to grifting by selling $20 pancake mix.

These two were fixtures on Fox, then Newsmax and before Diamond's passing, Frank TV, sponsored by My Pillow CEO and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell.

Diamond was 51 years old.

Black Twitter was not kind to Diamond.

Hardaway and Richardson are sisters. They were born as Ineitha Lynette Hardaway and Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway; they go by their middle names. They have three other siblings.

Their parents are Freeman Hardaway and Betty Willis Hardaway, televangelical pastors based in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Freeman and Betty Hardaway sold purported weight loss cures, and wreaths that ward off witchcraft. For a fee of $50, Betty wrote the names of customers in a Bible, telling customers that this would make God answer their prayers.

The duo Diamond & Silk were famous from 2015 until 2023.

Hardaway and Richardson were registered as Democrats in 2012. Their first YouTube videos were a montage about police brutality, titled "Black Lives Matter" (it received 17,000 views), and a video about Sandra Bland, a black woman who died in a Texas jail (it received 32,000 views). After the pair began to make pro-Washed Up 45 videos, their YouTube channel started to grow considerably.

Although officially unaffiliated with the Washed Up 45 campaign, they urged support for Washed Up 45 via social media efforts and rallies and traveled to three states for the campaign. The two women first joined Washed Up 45 as the "Stump for Trump Girls" on stage at his Raleigh, North Carolina, rally on December 4, 2015. They later warmed up the crowd at the Washed Up 45 rally on January 2, 2016, in Biloxi, Mississippi. They initiated a "Ditch and Switch" campaign to encourage Democrats to register as Republicans and created a website explaining to voters which states had closed primaries and when the deadlines were for changing party affiliations.

On November 2, 2016, Diamond and Silk appeared with Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on behalf of the campaign. They were paid $1,274.94 for field consulting work by the campaign.

They regularly appeared on Fox News shows including "Softball" Hannity, Fox News Sunday, Watters' World, and The Ingraham Angle, and Fox & Friends. In November 2018, Diamond and Silk were given a show on Fox Nation, the online Fox News streaming service. They were covered on ABC's Nightline. Hardaway is notably more talkative, while Richardson often just expresses agreement.

Black Republicans embrace Washed Up 45.

A documentary film by Hardaway and Richardson titled Dummycrats premiered in October 2018 at the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.

In May 2019, during a Fox & Friends appearance, Diamond and Silk claimed that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a "non-functioning alcoholic" who "slurs her words." This was in reference to a doctored and slowed down video that appeared to show her slurring her words. Shortly thereafter, Fox & Friends had to clarify for its viewers that the video was manipulated.

In 2019, Diamond and Silk appeared in a 2020 re-election advertisement where they gave a pitch for his re-election. At the same time, Diamond and Silk had a weekly show on Fox News' streaming service.

Beginning in March 2020, Hardaway and Richardson questioned various information about COVID-19 including whether or not the number of deaths from the pandemic was being inflated in order to make Washed Up 45 look incompetent. These questions led to the termination of their work with Fox in April.

Biden Visits The Border!

Biden goes to the border.

President Joe Biden is heading to Latin America for a summit. On his way there, he visits El Paso. 

The far right who often complain about the U.S.-Mexico border and migrants coming into the states are outraged that he went to the city. Of course, the U.S. Secret Service, Texas state authorities and local officials had to clear the encampments staged by migrants.

Part of the safety of the president is to clear a path. The president is quite aware and does not need to be reintroduced to encampments. The border should not be an issue. It should be the least polarizing thing happening in this country.

Alas, Republicans need scapegoats. So why not pick on the vulnerable? 

Washed Up 45 managed to clear a path by violently removing protesters in 2020 to stage a photo op.

The president said visiting the border will not stop migrants from entering the country.

It is a stupid op. It is playing with human lives. It is dog whistle politics to spark a white terrorist to kill politicians, people of color and migrants.

Biden visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday for the first time since taking office, tackling one of the most politically charged issues in the country as he prepares for a re-election bid.

Accompanied by Border Patrol agents, Biden toured a section of the wall that divides the two countries, a signature priority of his Republican predecessor, in an effort to demonstrate that he was taking the issue seriously.

Biden on Thursday said his administration would tighten immigration enforcement by blocking Cuban, Haitian and Nicaraguan migrants at the border, expanding the nationalities of those who can be expelled back to Mexico.

But that has not impressed Republicans like Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who accused him of failing to enforce immigration laws.

"You have violated your constitutional obligation to defend the States against invasion through faithful execution of federal laws," Abbott, a possible 2024 presidential candidate, wrote in a letter he handed to Biden upon his arrival in the state.

Biden told reporters he had not yet read the letter.

Joined by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, the president also visited the Bridge of the Americas, which connects the United States and Mexico, and viewed equipment that border officials use to detect illegal drugs.

Biden hopes to strengthen relations with Border Patrol agents, some of whom have bristled at the rollback of hardline enforcement policies by the White House.

The long-term goal of Congress reforming America's creaky immigration system is unlikely to succeed given Republicans' newly assumed control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Right-wing lawmakers have repeatedly torpedoed U.S. immigration reform proposals over the past two decades.

Biden sent Congress an immigration reform plan on his first day in office two years ago, but it floundered due to opposition from Republicans, who also blocked his request for $3.5 billion to beef up border enforcement.

Republicans are pushing their own plans for the border after securing a narrow majority in the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections.

Incompetent Republican U.S. Representative Jim Jordan told Fox News that Biden should adopt the zero-tolerance policies pursued by Trump, which included separating children from their migrant parents.

"They've allowed now a situation where frankly, we no longer have a border," Jordan said.

Mayorkas on Sunday said international crises and legislative gridlock limited Biden's ability to reduce the number of migrants making their way to the United States.

"We're just dealing with a broken system," Mayorkas told reporters aboard Air Force One on the way to Texas.

El Paso's Democratic mayor declared a state of emergency last month, citing hundreds of migrants' sleeping on the streets in cold temperatures and thousands being apprehended every day.

U.S. border officials apprehended a record 2.2 million migrants at the border with Mexico in the 2022 fiscal year that ended in September, though that number includes individuals who tried to cross multiple times.

Rap Up 2022 Lyrics

[Intro: Uncle Murda]
Happy holidays
Let me come here and talk to you
I gotta stop saying I'm not doing this shit no more knowing I'm capping
(Great John on the beat by the way)
I'm officially part of the holidays like Mariah now nigga (Wow)
[Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me]
Let's go

[Verse 1: Uncle Murda]
Y'all couldn't wait for this shit to drop, it's part of hip-hop
Will Smith really went and smacked the shit out of Chris Rock (He did)
He laughed at the joke at first until he saw his wife's demeanor
Chris Rock ain't know Jada was bald because of alopecia (He didn't)
That's something a majority of people know nothing about
But I bet you he won't put her name back in his fucking mouth (He won't)
Live at the Oscars, you can't make up this story
Her boo August Alsina got beat up by Tory
Jada probably called him to see if he was OK
I wonder how she felt when she found out that he was gay
That's who you cheated on Will for, let me fucking stop
August gon' fuck around and catch the monkeypox
I'm just saying y'all do know how it begins spreading
I disrespect niggas every year and I don't regret it
Let's talk about Kanye being anti-Semitic
The Adidas deal that made him a billionaire got deaded
Now he only worth about 4-5 hundred Ms
He lost his mind when Pete Davidson started fucking Kim
He be dressing dusty now, he don't even look rich
He been looking stressed since that white boy took his bitch
You already know Jay-Z been knowing that he violated George Floyd
Black people ain't supporting him (We ain't)
He was on Drink Champs sounding like a fucking clown
Nore and them had to go and take the interview down
He defended the cop that had George Floyd on the ground
He say dumb shit whenever there's a camera around
And it's like he say that shit without no hesitation
His friends need to make sure he's taking his medication
Maybe he ain't crazy and that's really how he feel
Lately he keep taking shots at Diddy and Meek Mill
No more Yeezys, no more Balenciaga deal
Banned from Instagram, damn that nigga gotta chill
Fuck donkey of the day, he donkey of the year bro
Even Pusha T had to cut ties with that weirdo
He did it to himself, I really don't understand that nigga
What the fuck would make him go and say he a fan of Hitler?
He confused, Kanye wanna be a cracker
That nigga made t-shirts saying white lives matter
Enough about Kanye and all the stupid shit he did
Tiffany Haddish did some weird shit with some little kids
Balenciaga did some weird shit with some little kids
R. Kelly put an album out admitting what he did
Nobody cares he got 30 years when he went to trial
We ain't trying to be out here screaming free a paedophile (Nope)
Let's talk about Freddie Gibbs, like really what's up with him?
Niggas robbed him in Buffalo and he got beat up again
He be out here looking like a cold-blooded sucker
I know Ashanti regretting letting Irv Gotti fuck her
Every interview he do he got her name in his mouth
Either he's obsessed with her or he's just chasing clout (Come on)
Shit corny, even Fat Joe had to call him out
You mad she fucking Nelly nigga that's what it's all about
Stacey Dash dumb ass on Instagram crying
Like she just found out about DMX dying (Shut up)
Keyshia Cole thought Antonio Brown was her man
AB treated her like she a one night stand (Crazy)
You thought he was feeling yout Keyshia, naw he was drunk (He wasn't)
He fucked you a couple times and stopped picking up (Damn)
Scotty Pippen stressed out hearing all the rumors
About his ex-wife fucking with Michael Jordan Jr
Future already had his thumb all in that ho butt
Michael B and Lori Harvey broke up
Diddy had a daughter, congratulations my brother
Young Miami trending cause she not the baby mother
Akademiks called her one of Diddy's side joints
Right now them City Girls is down a thousand points (They down)
Saweetie fucked Lil Baby, I knew she was a freak
Her album flopped, it only did two thousand the first week (That's it)
She put a record out dissing Quavo, bad timing
Honestly she sound better on mute when she rhyming (She do)
Glorilla said some shit and I couldn't believe it
She like niggas nutting on her food before she eat it (That's nasty)

[Chorus: Uncle Murda]
I said I wasn't gonna do it, y'all know that wasn't true
This my favorite time of year, y'all know how I do
I disrespect niggas respectfully
They did it to themselves so fuck if they get upset with me
Y'all know what happened, y'all heard what happened but y'all don't care
Y'all still want me to talk about this shit every year
Crazy, crazy, this shit crazy
Crazy, crazy, this shit crazy

[Interlude: Great John]
Here we go
Yeah, new year, new money nigga, it's the rap up
Everybody get it nigga
We don't give a fuck about no fucking industry niggas or bitches
We back
It's the rap up
Yeah
We the niggas that don't care about the red carpet
Thanks 50
Murda let's go

[Verse 2: Uncle Murda]
Young Thug and Gunna got hit with the RICO
They using rap lyrics against them and that shit is illegal (Damn)
They let Gunna go and we trying to figure out what happened
(He snitching)
He took a plea deal, Lil Boosie say that nigga ratting
Gunna pushing pleas. Young Thug still stuck in jail
Niggas saying Gunna new name is I'm gonna tell
Until we all know the facts we shouldn't speak on that
If Thug ain't tell him to take that deal then he a rat
He was on Crime Stoppers before looking bad
He the new 6ix9ine on the 'Gram this shit is sad
We saw that video of him in court, he a yes man
Is YSL a gang that nigga said yes ma'am
Yes ma'am I know about crimes that they committed
That was Jeffery's stuff in that car when y'all caught me in it
You can plead the fifth on certain shit but that don't matter
You got Charleston White calling you his favorite new rapper
You ain't have to take that deal my nigga free the slime
You ain't do shit, you wasn't facing no real time
Tory Lanez and Megan trial was like a soap opera
Still don't know if Tory Lanez or that girl Kelsey shot her
But we know Megan lied about fucking Tory
And she get drunk like she on Drink Champs with Nore
And we know her and DaBaby was intimate
It's embarrassing for her man hearing about who was hitting it
Imagine when he fucking now, what he be thinking about
On top of that, she got kicked out of Kylie Jenner house
Tory could have fucked Kylie if Megan wasn't hating
Wonder how Travis Scott feel about that situation
Tory found guilty, they did him foul
Too many inconsistencies, should have been a mistrial
As far as DNA being on that gun his was not
A witness said they saw a female take the first shot
They was all drunk and high, shit just went too far
Megan should have never made Tory get in that car
Now we gotta try to unpack a whole lot of shit
Kelsey could have shot her like Remy shot a bitch
I'm just saying y'all acting like that shit is impossible
I ain't picking sides, I'm just trying to be logical
Tory Lanez father blaming Jay-Z and Roc Nation
Jay-Z ain't tell your son to go and shoot Megan
He an independent artist, he make his own decisions
He might get deported after he do his time in prison
He can win the appeal but he need a lot of help
If him or Kelsey ain't do it then that bitch shot herself
Think about it any [?] could be the shooter
Don't take what I say personal that's just my sense of humor
Why Tory call that girl from a phone in prison
Knowing they record them calls and was gon' listen
He supposed to know better, people was uncertain
Now it's looking like they convicted the right person
Man niggas ran up in the church like it's a stickup
It was only 8 people in there when the robbed the bishop
When I heard about it real talk I burst out laughing
God don't like ugly that's why he let that shit happen
He was out here scamming people in the name of god
Feds came and locked up him I know he was a fraud
He be dressing like a rapper that shit ain't even funny
He be buying Louis and Gucci with them people money
Ma$e said Diddy robbed him, I believe that shit
That's what happens when you sign a contract and don't read that shit
Now Ma$e saying he Diddy 2.0
Same deal Puff gave him he gave Fivio
They was on Gillie and Wallo show going at it
Before you sign a contract, let your lawyer look at it
That's a million dollar worth of game that I just gave you
Even Meek Mill getting [?] by his record label
T.I. trying to become a comedian
Whoever told him he was funny was fucking misleading him
He couldn't deal with the audience being rude
It was funny seeing him get mad when he getting booed
And he snitched on his dead cousin, I'm not lying
He said his cousin told him to do it cause he was dying
That's some real shit, I get it, you needed help
But I feel like it's certain shit you should keep to yourself
And I don't know who was holding who down when they was shooting
But how the fuck niggas let Takeoff get killed in Houston
They went from arguing to fighting to shots fired
I don't want to say no names, not trying to get no one indicted
Akademiks and the internet spread a foul rumor
But they already caught the nigga that 'posed to be the shooter
We keep losing good niggas, niggas should be ashamed
He was one of the coolest niggas in the whole rap game
Life too short, you never know when the ending is
Hope Offset and Quavo settle they differences
PNB Rock died during a robbery in front of his baby moms, that shit right there bothered me
Could have just robbed him, wasn't no need for killing
Man, that shit sad, imagine how his kids feeling
And y'all owe his baby moms an apology
Niggas saw him pulling up that's what led to the robbery
Rappers started blaming her for posting up pictures, but that shit happen, learn to mine your fucking business
Another good brother gone niggas should be ashamed
It ain't worth killing niggas over no watch and chain
They caught the kid who did it that nigga never coming home
They locked his father up too he ain't do that shit alone
If bad parenting was person it's that nigga
He was the getaway driver that shit wack nigga
Being a rapper getting hard this shit ain't easy
We really out here becoming the new endangered species
[Chorus: Uncle Murda]
I said I wasn't gonna do it, y'all know that wasn't true
This my favorite time of year, y'all know how I do
I disrespect niggas respectfully
They did it to themselves so fuck if they get upset with me
Y'all know what happened, y'all heard what happened but y'all don't care
Y'all still want me to talk about this shit every year
Crazy, crazy, this shit crazy
Crazy, crazy, this shit crazy

[Interlude: Great John]
We the niggas that don't care about the red carpet
(Great John on the beat by the way)

[Verse 3]
I was on tour for four months we was overseas
Did 55 shows in 45 countries
Every venue sold out fans lined up waiting
50 really did that with no help from Live Nation
I was playing Uno in private jets eating healthy
Niggas ain't believe in me 50 did now I'm wealthy
I was on Facetime showing shit to my daughter
Me and Yayo in Dubai driving cars Law and Order
Master P broke can't afford to put his kids to college
I thought he was rich that nigga always be kicking knowledge
Romeo exposed him that nigga really hate him
He said you stole all his money nigga you never paid him
Why he do that to Lil Romeo? That's wack
He finally about to get his first check off Rap Snacks
Never met a nigga in the hood that eat that shit
That shit tastes straight like dirt y'all can keep that shit
Britney Griner came home and exchanged for a trade
Russia got the best part of that deal we got played
I'm happy she home but really tryna understand
How we let a Russia arms dealer go for juwanna man
I know she can rebound, shoot, and got a little dribble
But if we go to war can that bitch block a missile
I be on some bullshit I know people can't stand me
Benzino got caught up fucking with a tranny
NBA Youngboy had Rich The Kid shook
Over a little picture with Lil Durk that he took
Hope he know Bobby Shmurda and Rich The Kid different
Bobby will really boom you nigga watch who you mention
[?] plan to trip with her friends I ain't letting her go
After seeing how they did that poor girl out in Mexico
She was on camera getting beat up relentlessly
With friends like that you don't need no enemies
Watch niggas even if you play on the same team
See how Jordan Poole got knocked out by Draymond Green
Ain't no being cool after that nigga no way
Trade him or trade me or we gon be fighting everyday
Draymond violated he know he was wrong
Or the Celtics head coach cheating on Nia Long
I don't know what would go and make him risk it all
Kanye caught Kim K fucking Chris Paul
He deserve it if that shit is true can't even front
Now he gotta give that bitch 200 bands a month
Gas prices up cause Russia waring with Ukraine
Abortion is illegal now that's inhumane
Why they tryna control what women do with they body
The government is weird they be out here moving ocky
They ain't got no morals they can't see that shit ain't right
Queen Elizabeth died I'm more sad about Betty White
Can't believe I'm about to say rest in peace to Kay Slay
The culture took a loss he was more than a DJ
Fuck COVID-19 that shit really took a legend
He was the first one to play me on Hot 97
Appreciate the opportunities that he gave me
Every Thursday night on the radio he played me
Niggas is on Instagram fronting saluting you
A lot of niggas you helped ain't pull up to your funeral
You know Remy said something as soon as they let her speak
She started looking around and said it's too many empty seats
Every Thursday night niggas had Kay Slay bumping
Rest in peace Drama King nigga was straight stuntin
Had a white boy in Buffalo shooting black people
In the supermarket can't believe people is that evil
Buffalo calling out for help but we don't hear it
Over here [?]
They had a snowstorm the other day 40 people died
They ain't even get warning telling them don't be outside
And they ain't locking niggas up no more for smoking weed
A$AP Rocky lucky Rihanna gave him a seed
Funny watching two niggas beef that could hardly fight
Like Soulja Boy getting pepper sprayed by Charleston White
Can't forget about the Super Bowl that was legendary
Dr. Dre, Snoop, Em, 50, Kendrick and Mary
Hip Hop lit they gon talk about that shit forever
Shout out to Jay-Z he helped put that shit together
I been in this booth for over 10 minutes rapping
How many kids this nigga Nick Cannon plan on fucking having
It's like he tryna get a hundred more girls pregnant
And overturning Roe vs. Wade ain't helping
You moving like a munch we know what you about
Drake unfollowed Ice Spice after he flew her out
And I'm on Gervonta side females do too much
He ain't do shit she put shit on his toothbrush
And I ain't about to start stop wearing Nike
Cause they decided to stop doing business with Kyrie
But when he get his new sneaker deal I'ma go support it
Buy 10 pair for the gram let my man record it
Bill Cosby going back on tour he play too much
LeBron James think Jerry Jones is a racist fuck
Steven A. Smith tried to defend him on his show
Saying that the picture was from 65 years ago
When they asked Jeffrey about it he was real nonchalant
Like I don't really give a fuck y'all can think what y'all want
He really is racist that nigga a hot mess
He was at that protest tryna stop progress
JD said he created 106 & Park
Bow Wow said that's cap regarding those remarks
Even Steven Hill responded saying that was cap
Caresha won the BET award Diddy paid for that
Niggas mad at Deion Sanders for leaving Jackson State
He ain't doing nothing wrong go let that man be great
If he ain't leave niggas would've called him a fool
Saying he already did what he could do for that school
Blueface had got locked up for attempted murder
Him and Chrisean the new Ike and Tina Turner
Ray J was on Verzuz he was sounding sour
I hit better notes than that when I sing in the shower
How they catch Brett Favre stealing from welfare
Free Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow they be home next year
A$AP Rocky shot a nigga that was his man
Well, allegedly, he caught him stealing and shot him in his hand

Boxed!

Donation bins can be deadly. Once inside if there's no exit, its death.

When people donate their clothes to those charity bins, sometimes folks raid them for the clothes. A woman was found dead in a donation bin. The police have not determined a cause of death, folks are shocked to find out how such a death occurred.

Clothing bins can be deadly if someone attempts to grab bin items out and get stuck in the box. It has been a very serious matter.

This isn't the last time someone was found dead inside a donation bin.

The victim was reported missing in March and the circumstances of her death remain a mystery.

Leslie Lemoine's daughter Hannah Gates said she drove by the Camden West Inn for nine months during the search for her mother not knowing that her body was just a few feet away.

Gates said she and her family had been searching for her mother since March.

"I feel like we're getting some closure that we've needed for nine months and it's hard, but we're all processing it in our own ways and we know it's still a journey you know, to get justice for her," Gates said.
South Carolina woman found inside a bin.

That journey begins with finding out how her mother died and how she ended up in a donation bin that was left unchecked for months.

A South Carolina woman's body was found in a donation bin after having been missing for months.

"We're assuming that the location we found her in was just where her body was dumped at," said Kershaw County Sheriff Lee Boan. "So, it's a dump location. Not necessarily the location of where she passed away at."

Boan said that now with a positive id on the body they can move forward in the investigation.

"We'll start tracking from there and figure out what happened to her and who put her in the clothes bin," Boan said.

Coroner David West initially believed it would take up to six months to get a positive id, but he says a tattoo on Lemoine's calf that her daughter recognized on the body sped up the process, but with the condition in which the body was found will make it a little more difficult to find out how she died.

"We go next to toxicology," West said. "Try to pull some kind of tissue and stuff like that. They were lucky enough to pull some of that. So, we go in there try and pull something from there and that will be sent off for testing."

That will show if Lemoine had drugs in her system. They're also planning to send her bones to an anthropologist to look for trauma.

The next step for Gates and her family is to gain legal custody of Lemoine's 10-year-old daughter, Haven, and while she said she now has a sense of peace, she was hopeful that her mother would one day return.

Certain bins are places where bodies are dumped.

"I played the conversation so many times in my mind," Gates said. "At first I thought I'd still be mad. First I was yelling, you know, where have you been? Why did you just leave and as time went it just got to the point where I just wanted to hug her and tell her that I forgive her."

Gates said she'll remember her mother as a kind and generous woman. At this stage, investigators are gathering statements from the community and surveillance video from behind the hotel.

Sucked In!

Woman died being sucked into an airplane engine.

The tragic death of a woman being sucked into a plane engine. The woman was decapitated as soon as she went in. It happened in Montgomery, Alabama.

Before I begin, I want to say some things about Alabama. The state had 35% Black population and there is little to no major African American representation in the state.

Montgomery, Birmingham, Greenville, Selma and Anniston are cities where the majority of the population is African American.

The state capital of Alabama surpassed Birmingham as the second largest city. 

Huntsville in the north of the state has a population of 220,000 residents. Montgomery now has a population of 204,000 residents. Birmingham has a population of 194,000. Mobile has a population of 185,000.

Birmingham is still the largest metropolitan area with 1.3 million residents.

An employee killed at the Montgomery Regional Airport on Dec. 31 has been identified as Courtney Edwards, a mother of three, according to the union that represented her.

Edwards was a ground handling agent for Piedmont Airlines, a subsidiary of American Airlines. The Communication Workers of America posted information about Edwards on its website and has set up a Go Fund Me page.

Woman died after jet engine sucked her in.

Richard Honeycutt, vice president of CWA District 3, issued a statement about Edwards.

“The news of this terrible tragedy was heartbreaking,” Honeycutt said. “Courtney was a valued member of her team and our union. She was away from her family working on New Year’s Eve making sure passengers got to where they needed to be for the holidays. She represents the very best of our CWA airport members, who constantly make sacrifices to serve the flying public.

“Her memory will live on in the hearts and minds of her fellow CWA members and those closest to her. Our staff and local leaders are on the ground coordinating with the relevant agencies as the investigation continues. We are doing as much as we can to provide support for her family and loved ones during this most tragic time.”

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident. The NTSB released a statement on Jan. 1 saying that the death occurred when “a ground support personnel was ingested into the engine.”

Animated scenario shows a person being grinded into an engine.

The “worker was fatally injured on the ramp at Montgomery Regional Airport where American Airlines Flight 3408, an Embraer E175, was parked,” the FAA said in an earlier statement to AL.com.

Donielle Prophete, president of CWA Local 3645, set up the fundraising page and said she has been talking with Edwards’ mother. Prophete said the tragedy is difficult and follows another accidental death of a union member at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 2019.

“It’s hard losing two members in a three-year span,” Prophete said. “We’re still trying to get past the shock.”

Laura Loomer did nothing right either.

Appears that Laura Loomer, the far right activist and Proud Boy provocateur is back on Twitter. Elon Musk reinstated that white nationalist. She was one of the notorious ones who got banned for racism, inciting violence and sharing private information about people she railed on. 

Loomer, a twice failed Congressional candidate was banned on Twitter in 2018.

She appeared on InfoWars stating that Twitter ruined her life. She threatened to sue the tech company and even chained herself to its New York City office.

Roger Stone and called herself “pro-white nationalism,” is back on Twitter. 

In 2018, the provocateur was suspended from the site after making a series of anti-Muslim statements about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and was kept off despite a 2020 run for the House in Florida’s 21st Congressional District. That same hear, she drew national attention for interrupting Twitter co-creator Jack Dorsey’s congressional hearing, calling for the site to “stop silencing conservative voices.” 

Her ceaseless efforts to spread disinformation also got her banned from Facebook, Instagram, as well financial services like Venmo and new Twitter owner Elon Musk’s own creation, Paypal. 

“After getting BANNED on Twitter in 2018, and being digitally exterminated on nearly every other social media site, payment processor, Uber, Lyft, Uber Eats, & my own bank, I’M BACK!!!!!,” Loomer tweeted Thursday, for the first time in four years. “@ElonMusk has finally unchained me from the doors of Twitter HQ!”

Loomer vows to run for Congress. She considered challenging Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Rep. George Santos (R-NY). Loomer is a resident of Florida.

Again, you do not have to live in the state or district to run for House of Representatives.

That's why Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) left Philadelphia and moved to Salt Lake City.

That's why Nina Turner left Maryland and moved back to Cleveland.

A 6-Year Old Terrorist Shot His Teacher!

A school shooting. The terrorist is 6 years old.

In Newport News, Virginia, heroic teacher Abby Zwerner is fighting for her life after one of her students shot her. The terrorist is caught. The terrorist is only 6 years old.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

What happens when a Black person shoots a white person?

They obviously go to jail and are judged by the junk food media agitators for having some fault in their life. It is common that the far right wants Black America to condemn the actions of one Black extremist, one Black criminal or one Black politician.

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.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Seeing it is Newport News, a majority Black community and it happened at a public school, it almost certainly on white extremist websites. It is a recipe for phony outrage by the very people who oppose solutions to solving gun violence.

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 from Virginia were notified about this shooting.

School Superintendent Dr. George Parker, III said the Richneck Elementary School will be closed on Monday, January 9 and Tuesday, January 10.

The school is located at 205 Tyner Drive, off Jefferson Avenue.

Dispatch received the first call about the incident at 2 p.m. Friday.

The teacher is being treated at Riverside Regional Medical Center, and as of Saturday afternoon, was listed in stable condition, according to a hospital spokesperson. In an update sent Saturday afternoon, police say the teacher is improving and is currently in stable condition.

Abby Zwerner saved her class by disarming the terrorist.

On Saturday afternoon, James Madison University confirmed that the teacher involved in the shooting was Zwerner.

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew confirmed a 6-year-old boy is in custody. The boy had a handgun in his possession. He said this was not an accident. This terrorist has an intention to shoot and injure others.

Police said during the press conference that the shooting was not accidental and that they are working to learn how the student got a firearm and why the shooting occurred.

No students were injured in the shooting.

The school system sent information to Richneck families in a phone call and email, and posted it to social media about an hour after the incident.

There was a school shooting in Newport News in the fall of 2021, at Heritage High School. In that incident, a student fired several shots in a busy hallway. A 17-year-old boy and girl were wounded by the gunfire. The terrorist was 16 years old when a judge sentenced him to 10 years for the shooting.

At what age should an individual own a firearm?
2 years old
10 years old
18 years old
21 years old
25 years old
Doesn't matter, every age used a firearm to either kill or injure someone.

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.

Never stops.

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.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend’s social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline’s website or the Crisis Text Line’s website.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

House Speaker QAnon McCarthy!

Sounds about white. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her far right allies warn House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to keep his word or pay the price.

The Republican Party will continue to keep its leaders white and male.

The Republican Party proves to the world, they can't govern. They want to rewrite history. They are literally the party of identity politics. They can not get out of the shadow of Washed Up 45. They support chaos, insurrection and death.

After 15 times, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) becomes the House Speaker. Dude gave up some major concessions to earn this spot. So right now, he will be considered ineffective.

After the five opposing members voted present, it eased McCarthy's path. 

He is Speaker-elect and he will get a call from President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

After four days of utter chaos, McCarthy will take the helm of a broken Republican Party.

A party split between its white nationalists and radical extremists.

Republicans quickly moved to adjourn, but then McCarthy rushed forward to switch his vote to remain in session as colleagues chanted “One more time!”

The few Republican holdouts began voting present as well, dropping the tally he needed to finally seize the gavel in what was heading toward a dramatic finish on the fourth long day of a grueling standoff that has shown the strengths and fragility American democracy.

McCarthy had declared to reporters earlier in the day that he believed “we’ll have the votes to finish this once and for all.”

The day’s stunning turn of events came after McCarthy agreed to many of the detractors’ demands -- including the reinstatement of a longstanding House rule that would allow any single member to call a vote to oust him from office.

Even if McCarthy is able to secure the votes he needs, he will emerge as a weakened speaker, having given away some powers and constantly under the threat of being booted by his detractors.

But he could also be emboldened as a survivor of one of the more brutal fights for the gavel in U.S. history. Not since the Civil War era has a speaker’s vote dragged through so many rounds of voting.

The showdown that has stymied the new Congress came against the backdrop of the second anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, which shook the country when a mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters tried to stop Congress from certifying the Republican’s 2020 election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) vow to gridlock McCarthy, mainstream Republicans and Democrats.

At a Capitol event on Friday, some lawmakers, mostly Democrats, observed a moment of silence and praised officers who helped protect Congress on that day. And at the White House, Biden handed out medals to officers and others who fought the attackers.

“America is a land of laws, not chaos,” he said.

At the afternoon speaker’s vote, a number of Republicans tiring of the spectacle temporarily walked out when one of McCarthy’s most ardent challengers railed against the GOP leader.

Contours of a deal with conservative holdouts who have been blocking McCarthy’s rise emerged after three dismal days and 11 failed votes in an intraparty standoff unseen in modern times.

And an upbeat McCarthy told reporters as he arrived at the Capitol, “We’re going to make progress. We’re going to shock you.”

One significant former holdout, Republican Scott Perry, chairman of the conservative Freedom Caucus who had been a leader of Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election, tweeted after his switched vote for McCarthy: “We’re at a turning point.”

Another Republican holdout, Byron Donalds of Florida, who was repeatedly nominated as an alternative candidate for speaker, switched on Friday, too, voting for McCarthy.

Trump may have played a role in swaying the holdouts. Donalds said he had spoken to the former president who had been urging Republicans to wrap up their public dispute the day before.

As Rep. Mike Garcia nominated McCarthy for Friday, he also thanked the U.S. Capitol Police who were given a standing ovation for protecting lawmakers and the legislative seat of democracy on Jan. 6.

But in nominating the Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat Jim Clyburn recalled the horror of that day and told his colleagues: “The eyes of the country are on us today,” he said.

Without a speaker, the chamber is unable swear in members and begin its 2023-24 session, a sign of the difficulty ahead for the new Republican majority as it tries to govern.

Our D stands for delivery. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is the Minority Leader.

Electing a speaker is normally an easy, joyous task for a party that has just won majority control. But not this time: About 200 Republicans have been stymied by 20 far-right colleagues who said he’s not conservative enough.

The disorganized start to the new Congress pointed to difficulties ahead with Republicans now in control of the House, much the way that some past Republican speakers, including John Boehner, had trouble leading a rebellious right flank. The result: government shutdowns, standoffs and Boehner’s early retirement when conservatives threatened to oust him.

The agreement McCarthy presented to the holdouts from the Freedom Caucus and others centers around rules changes they have been seeking for months. Those changes would shrink the power of the speaker’s office and give rank-and-file lawmakers more influence in drafting and passing legislation.

At the core of the emerging deal is the reinstatement of a House rule that would allow a single lawmaker to make a motion to “vacate the chair,” essentially calling a vote to oust the speaker. McCarthy had resisted allowing a return to the longstanding rule that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had done away with, because it had been held over the head of past Republican Speaker Boehner. But it appears McCarthy had no other choice.

Other wins for the holdouts are more obscure and include provisions in the proposed deal to expand the number of seats available on the House Rules Committee, to mandate 72 hours for bills to be posted before votes and to promise to try for a constitutional amendment that would impose federal limits on the number of terms a person could serve in the House and Senate.

What started as a political novelty, the first time since 1923 a nominee had not won the gavel on the first vote, has devolved into a bitter Republican Party feud and deepening potential crisis.

Before Friday’s ballots, Democratic leader Jeffries of New York had won the most votes on every ballot but also remained short of a majority. McCarthy ran second, gaining no ground.

The longest fight for the gavel started in late 1855 and dragged on for two months, with 133 ballots, during debates over slavery in the run-up to the Civil War.
