Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. George Santos (R-NY) and Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) are conspiracy theorists and serial liars. Oh, they're white nationalists too.

The lawmaker who yelled "You're fault" when President Joe Biden addressed the opioid epidemic is a George Santos type.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) is a white nationalist who was then mayor of Maury County.

He is a bullshit artist.

According to a Thursday report from WTVF, a local Nashville CBS affiliate, Ogles repeatedly misrepresented himself as "an economist," boasted about nearly nonexistent experience in law enforcement, including handling "international sex crimes," and exaggerated his role working for a nonprofit combating human trafficking.

Ogles' office told Fox News Digital that the discrepancies are due to "condensing his résumé" while on the campaign trail, and that the reported accusations are fueled by political bias. Republicans are facing increased scrutiny after revelations that Santos falsified details of his life beyond just his education credentials.

WTVF reported instances in which Ogles claimed to be an economist, and noted that he also claims in his congressional bio to have studied "policy and economics" at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). The outlet reported, however, that Ogles has never worked as an economist, and that a 2009 résumé and a background check indicate that he studied international relations, psychology and English while at MTSU.

Ogles provided an image of his 2007 Bachelor of Science degree from the school, though it doesn't state what he actually majored in.

Ogles' office told Fox News, however, that he spent time "developing his experience in economic and tax policies" while working at the conservative political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, as well as with economist Arthur Laffer. Ogles' office told Fox News that he also received economic training and obtained professional certificates from business schools at Dartmouth and Vanderbilt. 

Additionally, WTFV reported that Ogles previously worked in what appears to be an administrative role as executive director at the Laffer Center for Supply-Side Economics, but that no economic reports from the institution authored by him could be found on its website.

The report said Ogles claimed to have become "a nationally recognized expert on tax policy and healthcare, having been featured in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal and Investor’s Business Daily" while working at the Laffer Center, but that a search of those sites showed just three columns he wrote while a lobbyist for Americans for Prosperity before he worked at the center, and none of which cited him as an expert in economics.

On Ogles' law enforcement claims, the report noted that during his race last year, he referred to himself during a debate as "a former member of law enforcement, worked in international sex crimes, specifically child trafficking," along with other examples of him using similar language.

Andy Ogles is an idiot.

WTVF's investigation found that Ogles was actually sworn in as a volunteer reserve deputy with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office in 2009, but lost the position two years later for failing to meet training and meeting attendance standards.

The outlet reported that the Williamson County Sheriff"s office said "there is nothing in Mr. Ogles' training or personnel file that indicates he had any involvement in 'international sex trafficking' in his capacity as a reserve deputy." Ogle's office, however, said the congressman never claimed to have worked in sex trafficking investigations while he was a reserve deputy.

According to the report, Ogles did do work for Abolition International, a nonprofit working to end human sex trafficking and modern-day slavery, as the group's chief operating officer, claiming he was "heavily involved in the fight against human trafficking."

WTVF found in the group's tax records that he worked only part-time for the group, making just $4,000 working 20 hours per week for a portion of the year 2011, and that an archived version of the group's website showed its work consisted of making grants to "holistic ministries" in just a handful of countries.

Ogles, a freshman member of Congress, was first elected in the 2022 midterm elections, and quickly gained name recognition as one of the few Republican holdouts seeking to derail now-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ascension into the role last month.

When reached for comment, Ogles' office attributed WTVF's report as "an attempt by the liberal media to make something out of nothing."

"It's a simple case of condensing a résumé for the sake of brevity on the campaign trail, and partisan hacks are trying to turn it into a headline for clicks," a spokesperson for Ogles said in a statement.

"Congressman Ogles is proud of the time he spent developing his experience in economic and tax policies with well-known economist Dr. Arthur Laffer and Americans for Prosperity. He was honored to serve as a reserve deputy for the Williamson County Sheriff's Department and as the Chief Operating Officer for Abolition International, which provided resources and operational support to anti-human trafficking efforts worldwide," it added.

Rush Limbaugh Still Gone!

Someone urinated on Rush Limbaugh's grave. It shows the far right agitator's divisive history has consequences.

An American bigot is no longer among us. 

Even though I hate to admit it, Limbaugh was the king of talk.

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III died on February 17th, 2021, three weeks after Joe Biden took the oath of office as the 46th President of the United States. He died of stage IV lung cancer.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton now are the hosts of his afternoon program but are no where close to what Limbaugh was.

Washed Up 45 and Tucker Carlson are now the helms of a hateful legacy.

When Limbaugh passed away, one would imagine that Sean "Softball" Hannity would be the No. 1 talk show host in the country. Nope. It turns out that Mark Levin and Glenn Beck are the leaders of far right talk. Brian Kilmeade is closing in on being the 3rd.

Softball Hannity is the most annoying media personality in the country. He can never match what Limbaugh was.

There will never be another Rush Limbaugh. Known as Jeff Christie, America's Anchorman, The Most Dangerous Voice on Radio, El Rushbo and Maha Rushie, Limbaugh was a prominent and most well-known member of the Republican Party and conservative movement. 

When he got on the "Golden EIB" mic, the far-right agitator has been an antagonist towards the Democratic Party, progressives and activists. He would often rally Republicans and conservatives to the polls. 

Gone forever never to troll again.

Limbaugh is credited for giving us, the Republican Revolution, George W. Bush, the Tea Party and Washed Up 45. 

Before his passing, Washed Up 45 gave Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

In the heat of the 2020 presidential election, Limbaugh hosted Washed Up 45 in October 2020 for what was an unprecedented two-hour "radio rally", during which the president was virtually given control of the coveted golden microphone to answer questions from the host and his listeners.

Limbaugh, born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in 1951. Limbaugh began his radio career in 1967 as a "helper" when he was only 16 years old. He eventually graduated to disk jockey and worked at a small station roughly 100 miles south of St. Louis while attending high school.

"I was totally consumed," Limbaugh told the New York Times in 1990, noting that his idol was a Chicago radio host named Larry Lujack. By 1971, Limbaugh was a morning radio host in Pittsburgh, where he was oddly told to cover a certain amount of "farm news" because the area was surrounded by many agriculture communities. In 2007 he explained to listeners how the young radio host managed to keep listeners despite the bizarre requirement.

Limbaugh helped boost Washed Up 45’s influence prior to the 2016 election simply by taking him seriously as a candidate when other established conservatives didn’t want the former reality television star anywhere near the Republican Party. Many of Limbaugh’s listeners eventually became Washed Up 45supporters and the radio legend continued to defend him throughout his presidency despite occasional disagreements.

U.S. And Canada Dealing With The Kia Boys!

They are willing to kill or die for a stupid TikTok challenge.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I am an owner of a Kia Optima. It appears that vehicles from Kia and Hyundai are in high demand for car thieves. They are running a social media experiment in which a car thief attempts to infiltrate the car's computer system and drive off. It happened through of all things, TikTok.

A video was posted on TikTok on July 12, 2022 where the author uses a USB connector on a naked key slot and successfully hotwires a car. This vulnerability exists on a type of ignition switch used in many Kia/Hyundai cars sold until 2021, which are not equipped with an immobilizer system. The video was taken down on July 25.

But since it was spread through social media, every teen wants to risk their lives for a thrill.

It has become a problem for American and Canadian police.

I mean I don't fear the possibility of theft. If they take the vehicle, they will eventually get caught. I am a firearm owner and I have to be cautious over how to deal with a car thief. 

In Ohio, the Castle Rule when using a firearm mainly exist when you have theft on home property not an apartment complex. It works when you are operating a vehicle not another person's vehicle. It only applies to your business not a shoplifter who stole from a property that is not yours.

If a person or a group decides to steal my vehicle, not only is grand theft auto, but the risk of a police pursuit and threats of a deadly incident which could cause impacts on everyone.

I live in Dayton, Ohio and I heard it happened numerous times here. Just last week, I made the mistake of leaving a door unlocked and a person managed to get in and search through the vehicle and stole property but did not hotwire the vehicle. Also I noticed that in August 2022, a USB cord was located near my vehicle.

Insurance companies are considering dropping coverage to owners of these vehicles.

The Highway Loss Data Institute released insurance claims data last September that confirmed what various social media accounts had been saying: Some 2015 through 2019 Hyundai and Kia models are roughly twice as likely to be stolen as other vehicles of similar age, because many of them lack some of the basic auto theft prevention technology included in most other vehicles in those years, according to the HLDI.

Hyundai and Kia operate as separate companies in the United States, but Hyundai Motor Group owns a large stake in Kia and various Hyundai and Kia models share much of their engineering.

Engine immobilizers are now standard on all Kia and Hyundai vehicles, the companies said in separate statements. Both automakers also said they are developing security software for vehicles that were not originally equipped with an immobilizer. Kia said it has begun notifying owners of the availability of this software, which will be provided at no charge. Hyundai said its free software free update will be available next month.

Hyundai also said it is providing free steering wheel locks to some police departments around the country to give local residents who have Hyundai models that could be easily stolen. Hyundai dealers are also selling and installing security kits for the vehicles, the company said.

Columbus, Milwaukee, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta are filing lawsuits against the companies. They call it a nuisance that needed to be stopped but the company failed.

Theft impacts everyone. But what to do to prevent it.

Keep all your valuable items out of sight,

Lock your doors.

Keep your vehicle in a well lit area.

Use bright spray paint, inscribe the VIN number or a tamper shield on your catalytic converter.

Have security cameras or a motion sensor camera installed in your vehicle.

Call your local police if you notice theft of property.

Live With Kelly And Mark!

Ryan Seacrest leaves Live. Kelly Ripa's husband will be permanent host.

Shocking media news.....

Six years after Michael Strahan's departure, Ryan Seacrest took the helm of Live! with co-host Kelly Ripa. It appears that the media personality is leaving the show.

Ripa's husband Mark Consuelos will be the permanent host in the Spring.

Seacrest, the longtime host of American Idol took over Live! when Ripa and Strahan had a messy fallout. Seacrest also hosts a radio show, Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve and numerous other projects. He said he will be a guest host whenever Ripa or Consuelos are on vacation.

“You are family here. We love you. We are so proud of you,” Ripa said of Seacrest. “I know how much of a sacrifice it’s been. I know how exhausting it’s been going back and forth [from New York to L.A.].”

Daytime's No. 1 show will have husband and wife Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa.

“Working alongside Kelly over the past six years has been a dream job and one of the highlights of my career,” Seacrest said in a statement. “She has been an amazing partner, friend, and confidant, and although we will always be a part of each other’s lives, I will miss our mornings together. I also want to thank [executive producer] Michael Gelman and the entire staff and crew – we’ve made memories to last a lifetime, met some of the most incredible people and had the warmest welcome into the homes of so many viewers across America. It’s been a memorable ride and now I’m excited to pass the baton to Kelly’s ‘real’ husband, Mark.”

Added Ripa: “I’m so grateful to have spent the last six years beside my dear friend of too many decades to count and will miss starting my days with Ryan. Ryan’s energy, passion and love for entertainment is one-of-a-kind.”

Seacrest originally signed onto the show for three years and ended up staying for six. He plans to return to the West Coast where he will continue to host ABC’s American Idol and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.

Seacrest, who joked that his departure might partly be due to the cold NY winters, said his three years turned into six due to the “genuine fun” of being on this show every day.

“Goodbyes are never easy, but we look forward to welcoming Ryan back regularly with open arms,” Gelman said. “As a fan-favorite guest host for years, Mark is no stranger to the Live family. Having him join the show is so special for us and we’re sure that viewers will feel the same.”

Strahan, a former NFL linebacker turned media personality had a tense relationship with Ripa. He also had multiple roles being a father, dealing with his ex's, his roles on ABC with his game show, Pyramid, his GMA hosting role, his Fox NFL Sunday role, his fashion line and his podcast.

His departure sparked a longstanding feud with Ripa who was caught off guard by the news.

Seacrest announced it on today's Live.

The tapping of Consuelos puts a rather literal spin on the show’s original concept, which launched in 1983 as The Morning Show. “The real concept of the show, in a symbolic sense, is that they are husband and wife,” Gelman said. “They have their coffee mugs and they’re chit-chatting about what’s going on.” It’s a format that has its roots in early radio programs, such as Breakfast with the Fitzgeralds. Since the launch of The Morning Show, the series has had several host and name changes over the years, such as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, which ran from 1988–2000. Ripa joined Regis Philbin in 2001 and has co-hosted the show ever since.

Philbin left in 2011, with Michael Strahan named as his successor. Strahan exited the morning show in 2016 with Seacrest later named as his replacement.

Ripa quipped on Thursday’s show that her husband joining her as a co-host would be “the nation’s weirdest social experiment.”

Raquel Welch Passed Away!

Raquel Welch passed away from a brief illness.

Iconic 1960s model and actress has passed away at the age of 82. She was a sex symbol and a dream girl for men.

 

Raquel Welch, whose emergence from the sea in a skimpy, furry bikini in the film “One Million Years B.C.” would propel her to international sex symbol status throughout the 1960s and ’70s, has died. She was 82.

Welch died early Wednesday after a brief illness, according to her agent, Stephen LaManna of the talent agency Innovative Artists.

Welch’s breakthrough came in 1966′s campy prehistoric flick “One Million Years B.C.,” despite having a grand total of three lines. Clad in a brown doeskin bikini, she successfully evaded pterodactyls but not the notice of the public.

“I just thought it was a goofy dinosaur epic we’d be able to sweep under the carpet one day,” she told The Associated Press in 1981. “Wrong. It turned out that I was the Bo Derek of the season, the lady in the loin cloth about whom everyone said, ‘My God, what a bod’ and they expected to disappear overnight.”

She did not, playing Lust for the comedy team of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in their film “Bedazzled” in 1967 and playing a secret agent in the sexy spy spoof “Fathom” that same year.

Her curves and beauty captured pop culture attention, with Playboy crowning her the “most desired woman” of the ’70s, despite never being completely naked in the magazine. In 2013, she graced the No. 2 spot on Men’s Health’s “Hottest Women of All Time” list. In the film “The Shawshank Redemption,” a poster of Welch covers an escape tunnel — the last of three that character Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) used after Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe.

Welch was born Jo-Raquel Tejada in Chicago and raised in La Jolla, California. (The Jo in her name was from her mother, Josephine). Welch was a divorced mother when she met ex-actor turned press agent, Patrick Curtis.

“The irony of it all is that even though people thought of me as a sex symbol, in reality I was a single mother of two small children!” she wrote in her autobiography, “Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage.”

Curtis became her manager and second husband and helped shape her into a glamor-girl with hundreds of magazine covers and a string of movies, plus exercise videos and books like “The Raquel Welch Total Beauty and Fitness Program.”

Though she would appear in exploitative films, she also surprised many in the industry with fine performances, including in Richard Lester’s “The Three Musketeers,” which earned her a Golden Globe, and opposite James Coco in “Wild Party.” She was also nominated for a Globe in 1988 for the TV movie “Right to Die.” She played herself and mocked divas in an episode of “Seinfeld,” memorably attacking Elaine and rattling Kramer.

Married and divorced four times, she is survived by two children, Damon Welch and Tahnee Welch, who also became an actress, including landing a featured role in 1985’s “Cocoon.”

DeWine: Biden Will Provide Ohio Anything We Need!

Mike DeWine makes the mistake of not using the federal government to fix the mess.

While Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) were embarrassing themselves with selfies holding firearms trying to shoot down foreign objects from 75,000 feet, Ohio had a train derailment that occurred.

As expected, Republicans have placed the blame on President Joe Biden for the incident.

A Norfolk Southern freight train had a derailment in the town of East Palestine, Ohio near the state border with Pennsylvania.

The president, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Mike DeWine, Gov. Josh Shapiro, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) have taken this very seriously.

It was a damn shame that Johnson and Kelly voted against the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. They are joining Republicans in the circular firing squad of blaming the law instead of the deregulation made by Washed Up 45.

In early 2017, Washed Up 45 issued an executive order to repeal "bothersome" regulations. One in particular was the emergency braking system rules when it came to carrying flammable liquids on freight cars.

Unfortunately, a train derailment in this caliber is a major environmental disaster.

DeWine was questioned about the Biden Administration and the EPA. You are also aware that the Supreme Court had stripped the EPA of its power to regulate carbon emissions being released into the air. That's why DeWine was allowed to do a control burn or release.

What is it with FEMA? It was not a natural disaster or an event that rattled the properties of Americans. It was isolated towards the rail line and three homes. Those living near the tracks should be at least get all they need from the state and federal government.

Oh, the far right has decided to finally discuss it. After weeks of the Chinese Spy Balloon, these idiot Republicans and that white nationalist propaganda on Fox finally decided to cover it.

As with many disasters, we never have a moment of unity. It is always blame, deflect, pivot and distract.

At a news conference, DeWine told reporters he was informed that the train was not considered a "high hazardous material train," so the state was not notified, prior to its derailment, that it was passing through. 

"Frankly, if this is true, this is absurd and we need to look at this," DeWine said. "Congress needs to take a look at how these things are handled. We should know when we have trains carrying hazardous materials that are going through the state of Ohio."

DeWine addressed concerns about harmful chemicals remaining in the air, and said that following a controlled release of chemicals, members of the Ohio National Guard were sent into the area in protective suits to measure the air, and no one was allowed back into the area until it was deemed safe. 

"In fact the monitoring showed that the air was basically what it was prior to the actual train crash," he said. 

Despite no threat to human life, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said that the derailment killed an estimated 3,500 fish of 12 varying species, none of which are threatened or endangered. 

DeWine said that he shared concerns from residents to Norfolk Southern's CEO, Alan H. Shaw, and asked if he could personally guarantee that the railroad staff will stay on scene until absolutely everything is cleaned up.

"He gave me his word and his commitment that the railroad would do that," DeWine said.

The National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that along with the 38 cars that derailed, another 12 cars were damaged by a fire. 

Officials had evacuated residents near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border so they could release chemicals from some of the derailed cars for a controlled burn following the accident, sending black smoke skyward as crews released vinyl chloride, a gas used to make plastic. Authorities said this week other hazardous materials were also on the train.

A video released earlier this week captured by a security camera about 20 miles from where the train derailed appears to show sparks and flames beneath a train car.

Dianne Feinstein Out!

Dianne Feinstein is retiring.

Longtime California senator is retiring. Now the race to replace her!

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), 89 has announced her retirement from the Senate. It now places Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) at odds with one another. Each of them are polarizing and they are certain to put a crucial House seat at risk of a Republican flip.

"I am announcing today I will not run for reelection in 2024 but intend to accomplish as much for California as I can through the end of next year when my term ends," Feinstein said in a statement.

Feinstein is the oldest sitting senator and the longest-serving senator from her state, having first been elected to the Senate in 1992. She had been under pressure for years from other Democrats in the state to make room for a younger generation of lawmakers. She had also declined the role in the new Congress of president pro tempore, which has traditionally gone to the senior member of the majority party since the mid-20th century.

Feinstein has worked under five presidential administrations and alongside the two presidents who also served with her in the Senate: Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Biden lauded Feinstein in a statement Tuesday as "a passionate defender of civil liberties and a strong voice for national security policies that keep us safe while honoring our values."

"I’ve served with more U.S. Senators than just about anyone," he said. "I can honestly say that Dianne Feinstein is one of the very best. I look forward to continuing to work with her as she serves out her term."

Feinstein said in her statement that she remains focused on passing legislation to address gun violence, promote economic growth and preserve U.S. lands in her remaining time as a senator. Feinstein said she’s confident Democrats can achieve those goals because of their previous work.

“Even with a divided Congress, we can still pass bills that will improve lives,” she said. “Each of us was sent here to solve problems. That’s what I’ve done for the last 30 years, and that’s what I plan to do for the next two years.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) applauded Feinstein in a statement, saying she “broke innumerable glass ceilings."

“When Dianne came to the Senate, there were only two women senators; today there are 25 serving, all of whom stand in some small part on Dianne’s shoulders,” he said. “Over the coming months, I know Dianne will continue to fiercely advocate for women’s rights in all aspects of life and unwaveringly represent the people of California.”

House Speaker emeritus, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who's now a rank-and-file member in the lower chamber, called Feinstein a "titan in the United States Senate, with a record that stands among the finest in history."

"For the past thirty years, California and our Country has been magnificently served by the leadership of Senator Feinstein: from our national security and personal safety, to the health of our people and our planet, to the strength of our Democracy," Pelosi said in a statement. She added that Feinstein "has not only accomplished a great deal, but is determined to do even more in the last two years of her term."

A legacy of leadership.

In April, Feinstein pushed back against a news report citing multiple anonymous colleagues expressing worry that she was mentally unfit to serve. And as recently as December, she was still conveying publicly that she had no plans to retire.

Feinstein's retirement caps a career focused on advocating for more restrictive gun measures, including championing the assault weapons ban President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1994 and pushing for restrictive laws since the ban expired in 2004.

As ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee during Washed Up 45's four years in the White House, Feinstein led the Democrats' line of attack against three Supreme Court justice nominees: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

Feinstein has also long been a fierce defender of advancing gay rights and same-sex marriage. She was one of only 14 senators to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, and she celebrated the Supreme Court's decision to legalize gay marriage.

She chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee while Obama was in the White House and led a six-year review of the detention and interrogation program the CIA developed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which led to legislation barring the use of such methods of torture.

Feinstein has been known for trying to find common ground with Republicans, sometimes drawing criticism from her party’s more progressive members. She parted from them on a number of issues, including by opposing single-payer, government-run health care and the Green New Deal climate proposal, which she argued was politically and fiscally unfeasible.

She has come under fire at times for some of her stances. She voted, for example, for the resolution authorizing the Iraq War but later said she regretted the decision.

Before she was elected to the Senate in 1992, she was the first female mayor of San Francisco and, before that, a member and the president of the city’s Board of Supervisors. She became mayor after the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and city Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in California. Feinstein was the first person to find Milk's body after he was shot.

❤💔💘!

Valentine's Day.

Be aware of the social media dating sites. If the person sends you a message on the first like, delete it. If the person asks you to visit other sites to connect, delete. If you feel pressure to do something because of the match, delete.

Recognizing an Online Dating Scam Artist

Your online "date" may only be interested in your money if he or she:

• Presses you to leave the dating website you met through and to communicate using personal e-mail or instant messaging;
• Professes instant feelings of love;
• Sends you a photograph of himself or herself that looks like something from a glamour magazine;
• Claims to be from the U.S. and is traveling or working overseas;
• Makes plans to visit you but is then unable to do so because of a tragic event; or
• Asks for money for a variety of reasons (travel, medical emergencies, hotel bills, hospitals bills for child or other relative, visas or other official documents, losses from a financial setback or crime victimization).

One way to steer clear of these criminals all together is to stick to online dating websites with nationally known reputations.

I am single and I am happy now being single. After years of trials and error, I finally came to the conclusion that I rather be single than in a committed relationship.

The loss of a job I loved and helping people who never backed me when I was at my lowest point has me finally waking up to the reality of being a deserted island.

Working two jobs I despise has made me learn that companies need bodies not good or bad workers. I am hoping to leave both jobs for something better. Trust me, I still maintain loyalty but it has waned over the years. I am just sick and tired of working for companies that I despise. 

My biggest fear in life is failure. 

I am a single father. I am a surprise father who learned about his birth months later. I never got my moment to be a first time father. It has traumatized me.

I have now learned to date and have no regrets to telling women who want to be in a relationship that I choose to be single. I used to have feelings towards those who cared, but now I could care less about people. I don't hardly get on social media and I choose to be careful about my movements.

I don't care what people say about me in public or in private. I have learned to accept the reality of being single. It wasn't easy at first. I liked a lot of women in the past.

I loved about six in my life. But now I love myself and my son.

I don't worry about Valentine's Day or any special holiday where I would spend lots of money to a woman who doesn't love me. I have to keep my guard up now because I have been through a lot to say the least.

Valentine's Day is perfect day for those who want to get married, want to be an exclusive couple, a birth, a death or a moment in history for an achievement.

I made peace with the women I've dated with in the past. I don't want to be in a relationship right now because I just rather stay focused on making money and getting a home.

I just don't have time for commitments. I don't want to carry the weight of guilt, jealousy or selfishness when it comes to being in a relationship. I have given the past relationships more than one chance. I am through with giving more opportunities to be hurt. 

It's basically me being a bachelor for the time being. I rather be a single dad.

I've only loved a few women in my time. I don't admit I love a person. I feel like I've put too much into a relationship only to be let down or hurt. So I am staying numb to saying love and wanting any relationships.

I was so tired of wasting my time dating women who take advantage of me. I've called myself the dreaded "NICE GUY" who will end up always in the "FRIEND ZONE".

I feel like I'm in the "FRIEND ZONE" and may end up getting a "HIT IT AND QUIT IT" relationship.

The social media websites that attract singles are booming today. Facebook, OKCupid, eHarmony, POF, Bumble, Badoo, Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match.com, MeetMe, Grindr and Christian Mingle see a spike around the week of Valentine's Day.

Romeo Rose, the creepy racist looking for love.

Well there's only one person I know who has the worst luck in relationships. Hopefully, he'll set aside his bigotry and utter stupidity to find the right relationship. His standards for women are really, really terrible. He is the infamous guy who wrote the blog, "Sleepless in Austin." 

This guy became a viral sensation and a butt of ridicule. He did an interview in which he went on and said some vicious things about Black women, interracial relationship and women who are overweight.

Since then, he's been blackballed on social media and women often swipe to the left when his face shows up on their social dating websites.

What's Valentine's Day without that racist goofball Romeo Rose?

Now going by the name of David Cassanova, this white nationalist is grifting for love.

This guy is a predator. Even looking at him gives me pedophile vibes.

Here's your Valentine's Day story. An Ugandan man has bore over 100 children and he is now at a point where he's tired of baring more.

Love has a huge price. An Ugandan man has 102 children and 578 grandchildren.

Musa Hasahya Kasera is likely to hold a record on fatherhood.

The Ugandan man has so many children he can’t remember most of their names, and he has been struggling to provide for his vast family that he says includes 12 wives, 102 children and 578 grandchildren.

“At first it was a joke … but now this has its problems,” the 68-year-old said, who lives in the village of Bugisa in Butaleja district, a remote rural area of eastern Uganda.

“With my health failing and merely two acres of land for such a huge family, two of my wives left because I could not afford the basics like food, education, clothing.”

Hasahya, who is currently unemployed but has become something of a tourist attraction in his village, said his wives now take birth control to stop the family expanding further.

Hasahya’s 102 children range in age from 10 to 50, while the youngest wife is aged about 35.

Blame Game: Anthony McRae!

This terrorist took his own life after taking three and injuring five others.

Today marks the five year date of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglass High School mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. The terrorist murdered 17 and injured dozens. He was convicted of these crimes and was given a LIFE term without a graduation.

Nothing has changed since this massacre. Matter of fact, every mass shooting in the U.S. has not merit much on gun control. President Joe Biden managed to get one step closer by signing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

The laws in the bill include extended background checks for gun purchasers under 21, clarification of Federal Firearms License requirements, funding for state red flag laws and other crisis intervention programs, further criminalization of arms trafficking and straw purchases, and partial closure of the boyfriend loophole. It was the first federal gun safety legislation enacted in 30 years.

THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC. 

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.

What 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. Of course, extremists often promote disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news.

Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.

With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."

Terrorist casually walks into campus buildings shooting.

The ban of semiautomatic rifles and bump stock assortments has always been a a problem. 

Law enforcement really get tired of this.

Republicans refuse to support the ban of these type of weapons.

So here we are... another deadly mass shooting in the United States. A mass shooting in East Lansing, Michigan on the campus of Michigan State University.

The terrorist was a Black man who was 43 year old. The feds are trying to figure out whether the terrorist was a student or a worker. They have not determined a motive of the terrorist.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Michigan's U.S. Representatives were notified about it. 

The lawmaker who represents East Lansing is Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and she is pissed that Americans are becoming numb to this relentless gun violence.

For the extreme right, whew! It was not a white man. It was a Black man. Let's blame Black Lives Matter, Ben Crump, Al Sharpton, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Black entertainers for the act.

The older brother of the suspected gunman in the Michigan State shootings said he doesn’t “have a clue” what prompted the terrorist’s shooting spree on campus Monday night.

“This just don’t seem real, that he would be able to do anything like this,” Michael McRae, 45, told the Detroit Free Press the morning after the violence. “I am still trying to process this whole thing.”

Police are left without answers as well, saying they don't know why the terrorist allegedly walked into two campus buildings and opened fire. He had no known current or past ties to the university, authorities said. After police made contact with him, he died of a self-inflicted gunshot.

His brother “stayed to himself” and they had grown apart over the years, the older brother said.

Michael McRae lives in the state of Delaware. The brothers grew up in New Jersey. But the terrorist and parents moved to Lansing about 20 years ago after his father transferred from General Motors in New Jersey.

The terrorist pleaded guilty in 2019 to a misdemeanor weapons charge in Lansing, according to court and Michigan Department of Corrections records. Chris Gautz, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Corrections, said he successfully completed about 19 months of probation; MDOC successfully discharged him In May 2021.

Last time the brothers spoke was their mom’s funeral two years ago in Lansing and the conversation “wasn’t good.”

The terrorist had no children, no spouse and no friends his brother knew of. He worked at warehouse jobs in Lansing.

“He stayed to himself,” Michael McRae said. “He kind of secluded himself.

“Definitely a loner.”

Michael McRae learned what happened from their father earlier on Tuesday.

While the brothers' relationship was rocky, he would "never in a million years" have imagined something like what happened Monday night.

“I am deeply sorry for this whole thing,” said Michael McRae, who plans to travel to Lansing to be with his father.

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.

This is America.

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.

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

Nikki Haley Wants In!

Nikki Haley wants the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

The former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina governor officially launches her campaign for president. The feud between Nikki Haley and Washed Up 45 will start.

Haley officially declared her presidential bid for 2024.

In the beginning, Haley said she wasn't interested in running if Washed Up 45 was going to run but given the recent controversies he's faced, she decided to go for it.

Join @TeamHaley at https://t.co/ioi6jyQDe7

— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) February 14, 2023

In a video message posted on Twitter, Haley touted her record as South Carolina's governor, while looking to the future and the needs of the country.

"It's time for a new generation of leadership," Haley stated.

Haley identified numerous threats facing the country, from the "socialist left" to Russia and China, warning that there are those who see the United States as vulnerable.

"They all think we can be bullied, kicked around. You should know this about me, I don't put up with bullies, and when you kick back it hurts them more if you're wearing heels."

She is Indian-American.

Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley, 51 was born in Bamberg, South Carolina and earned an accounting degree from Clemson University. She joined her family's clothing business, before serving as treasurer and president of the National Association of Women Business Owners. First elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 2004, she served three terms. In 2010, during her third term, she was elected governor of South Carolina, and she won re-election in 2014. Haley was the first female governor of South Carolina, the youngest governor in the country and the second governor of Indian descent (after fellow Republican Bobby Jindal of Louisiana). She was the first female governor of Asian American heritage. In 2017, Haley became the first Indian American member of a presidential cabinet.

Haley served as United States ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2018. She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a 96–4 vote, and sworn in on January 2017. Haley affirmed the United States' willingness to use military force in response to further North Korean missile tests in the wake of the 2017–2018 North Korea crisis. She defended U.S. interests, particularly U.S. support of Israel, at the Security Council, and led the effort to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council. She voluntarily stepped down as Ambassador on December 31, 2018.

While speaking at Christians United for Israel's Washington summit in July 2022, Haley hinted at a run for president in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, saying, "If [President  Joe Biden] signs any sort of [Iran nuclear] deal, I'll make you a promise: The next president will shred it on her first day in office," and, "Just saying, sometimes it takes a woman." 

Expect birther and not American smears to come out.

On February 1, 2023, it was reported that Haley announced her bid for the presidency on February 14, making her the first challenger to a Washed Up 45 2024 campaign. Haley will be the third Indian-American politician to seek a presidential nomination following Bobby Jindal and current Vice President Kamala Harris. Haley had previously claimed that she would not run for the candidacy if the former president also sought the nomination.

In an ad titled "Strong and Proud," Haley makes it official that she is running for President in 2024. 

She only got famous after pressure from Black voters demanded her to remove the Confederate flag from South Carolina's state capitol grounds. She, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) face heavy criticism for the response to the white terrorist who murdered parishioners at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston.

Haley's running will be interesting. In 2016, she backed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) over Graham and Washed Up 45. She eventually settled with the guy and even got a job because of him. 

Graham has already endorsed Washed Up 45 for 2024. Scott is also considering a run for president and has not responded to the former governor's run.

Blood Of Spartans: Mass Shooting At Michigan State University!

Mass shooting on Michigan State University campus kills three injures five.

Again, a mass shooting in the United States. This happened on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and the Michigan U.S. Representatives were notified.

The suspect(s) are 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. Of course, extremists often promote disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news.

Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.

With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."

Image of the terrorist released to the public.

The suspect is a Black terrorist and the state and federal authorities have not apprehended him.

Police were searching late Monday night for a lone gunman who opened fire in two Michigan State University buildings killing three people and wounding several others who were rushed to a nearby hospital.

"Some of those victims do have life-threatening injuries," MSU Interim Police Chief Chris Rozman said at an 11 p.m. news conference.

The lone gunman remained at large and was last seen leaving the MSU Union on foot on the north side of the building on Abbot Road and Grand River Avenue, Rozman said.

Rozman urged students and East Lansing residents who live near campus to remain sheltered in place.

Rozman urged students and East Lansing residents who live near campus to remain sheltered in place.

The university said the first shots were fired inside Berkey Hall at 8:18 p.m. on the north end of campus near Grand River and Farm Lane.

"We received multiple 911 calls of a shooting inside Berkey Hall," Rozman said. "Numerous officers responded. We were quickly on scene within minutes. And there we did locate several victims of a shooting."

Police then responded to reports of a shooting at the MSU Student Union on Abbot Road, Rozman said.

"We tended to the victims at both of those scenes and there was an overwhelming law enforcement response to campus to help with this situation," he said.

Gunshots reportedly were later heard at nearby Snyder-Phillips Hall, where police began swarming the building with guns drawn. IM East was investigated afterward, according to MSU police.

Rozman said there were multiple false reports of gunfire at other buildings across campus.

MSU spokeswoman Emily Guerrant initially said there was one fatality from the shooting inside Berkey Hall, which houses the College of Social Science, the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research and the Department of Sociology, according to MSU's website. MSU later confirmed three were dead.

Five shooting victims were transported to nearby Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, hospital spokesman John Foren said.

There was no immediate information about their condition, Foren said.

The shooting at MSU comes 14 months after a lone shooter killed four students and wounded six students and a teacher at Oxford High School. Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time, pleaded guilty to the shooting in October and is awaiting a hearing where a judge will determine whether he should be sentenced to life in prison.

Law enforcement was setting up a unified command post at the Cowles House on campus. Michigan State Police, Meridian Township police, the Ingham County Sheriff's office plus its regional special response team joined MSU campus police on campus.

THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC. 

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.

What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

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.
