Biden had a skin lesion removed that was cancerous.
President Joe Biden had a skin lesion removed that appeared to be cancerous. This will spark more intense pressure on the 80 year old president to not seek reelection.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House doctor who has served as Biden’s longtime physician, said “all cancerous tissue was successfully removed” during the president’s routine physical on Feb. 16. Biden was deemed by O’Connor to be “ healthy, vigorous” and “fit ” to handle his White House responsibilities during that physical exam, which comes as he is weeks away from launching an expected bid for reelection in 2024.
O’Connor said the site of the removal on Biden’s chest has “healed nicely” and the president will continue regular skin screenings as part of his routine health plan.
Basal cells are among the most common and easily treated forms of cancer — especially when caught early. O’Connor said they don’t tend to spread like other cancers, but could grow in size, which is why they are removed.
Biden had “several localized non-melanoma skin cancers” removed from his body before he started his presidency, O’Connor said in his Feb. 16 summary of the president’s health, noting it was well established that Biden spent a lot of time in the sun during his youth.
First lady Jill Biden in January had two basal cell lesions removed from her right eye and chest.
She said in an Associated Press interview last week that she’s now “extra careful” about sunscreen, especially when she’s at the beach.
Basal cell carcinoma is a slow-growing cancer that usually is confined to the surface of skin — doctors almost always can remove it all with a shallow incision — and seldom causes serious complications or becomes life-threatening.
The Bidens have long been advocates for fighting cancer. Their adult son Beau died in 2015 from brain cancer.
Kellyanne Conway was feuding with her daughter Claudia, a progressive social media agitator. Now it appears that her disagreements at the dinner table cost her husband as well.
The former White House advisor under Washed Up 45 is in the process of divorcing her husband, conservative activist George Conway. He is one the most vocal "Never Trumpers."
Washed Up 45 praised the decision and said the albatross around her neck is gone.
After 22 years of marriage and four children, Kellyanne and George split. She said that her family's hatred of Washed Up 45 drove her nuts. She said it was a flat out betrayal.
Things quickly dissolved when the former president failed to notify staff he tested positive for the coronavirus. Back in October 2020, when the former president was debating Joe Biden, he was positive and many including Kellyanne caught it. The family was irate that she would allow a reckless man spread so much chaos. It literally drove Claudia to contemplate suicide. The progressive social media agitator had posted on TikTok her frustration with her mom working for that idiotic guy.
George along with 20 former supporters formed The Lincoln Project to ensure Washed Up 45 and his Republican allies never get elected again. Conway is a contributing commenter to CNN.
Claudia Conway in 2016.
Kellyanne is a political strategist, former comedian and former senior advisor to Washed Up 45.
She lived in Trump Tower in the early 2000s. She tried to help the former reality TV star become governor of New York at one time. In the 2016 election, she and George endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). She hated his rhetoric and said he was an idiot. When Paul Manafort was fired from his 2016 campaign, she joined it reluctantly. She ended up helping court the suburban women. Along with Steve Bannon, the pulled off an upset against Hillary Clinton. The former president appointed her in 2017 and during her time, she physically attacked a person, made the term "alternative facts" a thing, said that Obama allowed the Bowling Green Massacre to happen and plotted her legs on the White House couch to sexualize herself in front of Black leaders.
George and Kellyanne allowed politics to ruin their lives. Claudia wants emancipation from the two because they are allowing that idiot ruin their family.
The idiotic former president calls for bright and new innovative "freedom cities" on federal land. Washed Up 45 on Friday shared the broad strokes of an ambitious plan to build 10 new “Freedom Cities” and beat China in the development of flying cars.
Lamenting that the U.S. has “lost its boldness,” the top Republican 2024 presidential candidate called for a national contest to design the cities as a way to spur a “quantum leap in the American Standard of Living.”
➡️BUILD FREEDOM CITIES ➡️REVOLUTIONIZE AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION ➡️LOWER THE COST OF LIVING ➡️MAKE AMERICA THE WORLD'S MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER ➡️LAUNCH A GREAT MODERNIZATION CAMPAIGN pic.twitter.com/NTTGfjL9mG
Another plank of Washed Up 45’s plan, detailed in a less-than-four-minute video posted by his campaign, is for the federal government to boost investment in flying personal vehicles.
“I want to ensure that America, not China, leads this revolution in air mobility,” the former president said in the video.
The policy-light plan sketched a vision of America’s future that was in some ways reminiscent of “The Jetsons,” the classic cartoon depicting a high-tech utopian society where commuters traveled to work by flying car.
Efforts to build electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, or eVTOLs, are already well underway — though flying taxis and aerial highways aren’t expected anytime soon, with automakers still working out self-driving technology for landlocked cars.
In a press release, Washed Up 45’s campaign asserted that 10 cities the size of Washington, D.C., could be built using less than one-tenth of 1% of the hundreds of million of acres of “empty” government-owned land. That land would not be part of U.S. national parks, the campaign said.
While Washed Up 45 puts home- and car-ownership at the center of his vision for an ideal American future, urban planners and politicians have increasingly championed urban infrastructure concepts that increase density and reduce reliance on cars.
Washed Up 45’s video also teased a “major initiative” to lower the cost of living, with a focus on lowering the costs of buying a car and building a single-family home.
And he called for Congress to approve “baby bonuses” for young parents, a proposal that appears similar to “baby bonds” legislation proposed by Democrats that would give every child $1,000 at birth.
The “Quantum Leap” plan follows other policy announcements from Washed Up 45’s 2024 campaign. Days earlier, the former president unveiled a protectionist trade agenda featuring “universal” tariffs aimed to encourage domestic production.
The latest plan came one day before the former president is set to address the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Mom on a mission. The Bernie Bros. tried to claim credit for the work she done.
Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) is the mother of the late Jordan Davis. He was gunned down by this asshole at a Jacksonville gas station over loud music. The convicted killer Michael Dunn was sentenced to LIFE in the iron college on a second degree criminal murder instead of first degree murder. It assures a Republican governor of Florida could eventually commute his sentence if given the possibility of parole.
McBath fought to change gun laws by being part of Moms Demand Action. She resided in metro Atlanta and took on an incumbent Republican named Karen Handel and won. She became the first African American woman in Georgia to flip a Republican district. She ended up in a biter primary fight against freshman Carolyn Bourdeaux in a partisan redistricting which placed her district now inside the city and eastern metro Atlanta.
McBath is a center-left leaning politician. She is also a pragmatic lawmaker who strongly believes in bipartisanship. She is similar to Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL), Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK), Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA) and Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH). She wants to do her job and not be click bait like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL).
Because of my bill with @SenatorWarnock to lower insulin costs for every patient in America to $35 a month, Eli Lilly has announced they will cut the cost of their insulin. This expands on our program that caps monthly out-of-pocket costs to $35 a month or less. https://t.co/5g3DJalJTp
So the Bernie Bros. are back. The supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Nina Turner and far left extremists are attacking McBath for being responsible for the cap on insulin by Eli Lilly.
The company based out of Indianapolis took a stance last year when its governor signed off on a restrictive abortion law which led to backlash. It is also became the first drug maker to put a cap on payments for insulin at $35 a month. The White House praised the company.
The leftists scream at it as not enough and it was Sanders who made it happen.
Wrong.
It was McBath and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA).
The change, which Eli Lilly said takes effect immediately, puts the drugmaker in line with a provision in the Inflation Reduction Act, which in January imposed a $35 monthly cap on the out-of-pocket cost of insulin for seniors enrolled in Medicare.
A candidate who plans on challenging McBath went dark after he blasted her for being in the pockets of corporations. He used her dead son as an excuse to attack her.
Jamaal Bowman and Byron Donalds exchange friendly words.
Rep. Bryon Donalds (R-FL) and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) have a lighthearted debate that went viral. Even. Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) had to troll the two to keep them from allowing the junk food media turn it into a gotcha game.
“Here’s some handsome Black men!” Carson said as Donalds and Bowman both laughed.
Donalds, originally from Brooklyn moved to Florida. He used to sell weed back in his teen years. He was arrested for bribery and fraud when he tried to cash a check that was fake.
He had a choice, face years in the iron college or change his life. He took to religion and started mentoring programs. He was originally a Democrat but found a Fox. The far right network was hyping the Tea Party Movement and encouraging Americans to oppose Barack Obama. Donalds soon felt that Obama didn't do enough on criminal reform and I guess that led to his conversion to the far right lawmaker he is now. He ran for Congress in a safe Florida Republican district after Francis Rooney retired. He won by 35 points. Now in his second term as a lawmaker, Donalds was floated as a potential senator, a House Speaker and future governor.
Bowman is a lawmaker from The Bronx. He was an unlikely winner of Democratic primary where he defeated longtime lawmaker Eliot Engel. He aligns himself with the far left. He allies with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) and Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX).
He is former educator. Bowman is the founder and former principal of the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, a public middle school in Eastchester, Bronx. He is a member of the Lower Hudson Valley chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Despite the political disagreements, they still maintain a brotherhood of Blackness.
Carson is the grandson of the late Juanita Carson. He won a special election to fill her term. His district is heavily gerrymandered to only include parts of Marion County where Indianapolis overlaps a majority of the county.
He is a Sunni Muslim and one of three in Congress. He along with Omar and Tlaib are staunch opponents of military aid to Saudi Arabia, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. They support the rights of the Palestinian people.
He is a moderate Democrat and one of two in the mostly Republican state of Indiana.
Bowman and Donalds debate over Biden, Ron DeSantis and Washed Up 45.
“It’s cool to have two people from my state be president, I don’t know about New York, though. That’s all I’m gonna say,” Donalds says at the beginning of an argument caught on video outside the Capitol.
“Who in your state could be president?” Bowman quickly clapped back.
“DeSantis? Bullshit. Come on man. DeSantis doesn’t have a shot, he’s a white nationalist. He’s anti-gay, he’s anti-woman, he’s anti-Black. There’s no way he could be president.”
Donalds immediately told Bowman to “stop that” and that DeSantis was not any of those things.
Bowman then asked Donalds who was the second Floridian he thought could be president.
“That’s Trump and Ron,” replied Donalds, referring to the former president and longtime New Yorker who now resides most of the year in Florida.
“So Trump claims Florida now, not New York?” Bowman asked, with some incredulity. “Bye, Felicia. Both those dudes going to get crushed.”
“By who? The man at 1600? Oh, please,” said Donalds, referring to President Biden and the White House’s 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. address.
“Biden passed three bipartisan pieces of legislation after an insurrection, during a global pandemic opened back up the schools, killing the game! DeSantis ain’t even — Biden will wipe the floor with DeSantis,” Bowman said.
But Donalds brushed Bowman off, asking, “In what world? Bizzaroland?” He added that he could list DeSantis’s successes too if given the time.
The back-and-forth between the two was a courteous exchange, with both lawmakers smiling and laughing with and at one another.
Biden says extreme MAGA will drive Republicans away. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a prime example.
President Joe Biden is aware of the noise. He responds to the most laziest lawmaker in Washington. This insufferable woman is a far right conspiracy theorist who was given a committee after her last term of being barred for threatening fellow lawmakers.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) literally does nothing as a lawmaker. All she does is try to make herself famous on social media or the TV.
Greene blames Biden for the deaths of a woman's two sons because of fentanyl.
Greene shared a clip to Twitter on Tuesday of House testimony from Rebecca Kiessling, a mother who lost two sons to fentanyl overdoses in July 2020—when Washed Up 45 was in office.
While sharing the clip, Greene claimed that "both of [Kiessling's] son's murders" were caused by "the Biden administrations refusal to secure our border," an impossibility since the Biden administration did not exist at the time.
Listen to this mother, who lost two children to fentanyl poisoning, tell the truth about both of her son’s murders because of the Biden administrations refusal to secure our border and stop the Cartel’s from murdering Americans everyday by Chinese fentanyl. pic.twitter.com/HRD5SX0Td8
During a speech at a gathering of Democrats in Maryland on Wednesday, Biden mocked Greene while speaking about bipartisanship, provoking laughter from the crowd by suggesting that Republicans would flock to become Democrats if there were more GOP lawmakers like Greene.
"You know, a little bit more Marjorie Taylor Greene, a few more and you're gonna have a lot of Republicans running our way," Biden said while chuckling. "Isn't she amazing? Oof!"
Insufferable lawmaker continues to ignore facts.
The president then addressed Greene's fentanyl overdoses claim, briefly laughing again after pointing out that the congresswoman failed to mention that the deaths took place under the former president.
"She was very specific recently, saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that I killed her sons," said Biden. "Well, the interesting thing is that fentanyl they took came during the last administration."
Biden quickly received online backlash from critics, including some who misleadingly suggested that he was laughing about the fentanyl deaths rather than Greene. However, the laughter of the president and of his audience was clearly directed at the Republican congresswoman.
Republicans continue to dig in.
Despite Biden mocking Greene, the Republican National Committee decided to run on the president mocking a mother's tragedy.
Republicans spent years politicizing tragedies for short term gains. This is another example. It is a pathetic culture war. It happens when these idiots have no solutions to the country's problems.
This tiny cottage was Harry and Meghan's other home. Charles booted the out.
King Charles III will have his coronation in May and whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appears or not, the feud is on. Charles has formally evicted Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan from Frogmore Cottage.
It is noted that Frogmore is a small mansion. The Sussex live in Los Angeles after giving up royal duties in 2019.
Gifted by Queen Elizabeth II, the King has fired back at Harry after his best selling book Spare detailed the horrible treatment of him, Meghan and his late mum, Princess Diana.
Harry and Meghan have called the institution out of touch and too willing to not accept change. They said that the noise that trashes them comes directly from the institution.
Piers Morgan, Megyn Kelly, Meghan McCain, Angela Levin, Jeremy Clarkson, Joanna Weiss, Candace Owens, Robert Johnson, Camilla Tominey, Chris Ship, Emily Andrews, The Daily Mail, Fox, The Telegraph, South Park, The Sun and The New York Post are the most notorious haters. The based their pathetic lives around the Sussex family and act like they literally run the fucking world. It is a sad state for these idiots to worry about people they don't even know.
Charles' reign will not be long. Already many nations with majority Black, Pacific or Asian populations are considering abandoning the commonwealth.
The eviction of Frogmore was shocking. Charles is trying to give it to his brother, the alleged sexual predator Prince Andrew.
Harry and Meghan's Archewell organization said in a statement to CBS News on Wednesday: "We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."
Harry and Meghan have gotten tired of the royal family talking shit.
Buckingham Palace offered no comment on the story, and generally does not speak about matters the royal family considers private.
Frogmore Cottage sits on the sprawling grounds of Windsor Castle, the primary home of Britain's monarchs for hundreds of years, just west of London. Harry and Meghan renovated the cottage between 2018 and 2019 at a cost of about 2.4 million pounds (about $2.9 million). The makeover was initially paid for by U.K. taxpayers via the royal family's "Sovereign Grant," but the cost was repaid by Prince Harry.
Harry and Meghan were given an eviction notice days after the release of Harry's book, The Sun said, and they have not been offered an alternative U.K. residence by the royal family.
Prince Andrew could reportedly lose his current home on the grounds of the Windsor estate, which he shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, because King Charles is planning on slashing his brother's royal grant, which is effectively an allowance of more than 250,000 pounds per year, The Sun reports.
It remains unclear if Harry and Meghan will be invited to King Charles' coronation ceremony in May.
Will the U.S. address its Middle East ally and their attempt to eradicate people living in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and Golan Heights, the rightful land of the Palestinian people.
It appears the Likud and Kahanist Parties of Israel are in a coalition of rightful seizure.
If anyone dares to criticize the Israeli government, expect allegations of anti-semitism.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was booted off the House Foreign Affairs Committee because she dared to criticize the American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC) for spending millions to encourage lawmakers to look the other way when it comes to war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
President Joe Biden despises Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The prime minister is by far a political louse. He is under investigation for corruption and yet continues return to power as their leading adviser of Israeli politics. The president of Israel, Isaac Herzog can't really get things done as leader of the minority.
Israel is also on the brink of collapse due to Netanyahu trying to impose new veto powers to overrule the Israeli Supreme Court. Herzog, whose role is primarily ceremonial, exhorted the government, led by Netanyahu, not to advance proposed legislation right now, while saying he would make himself available “at all hours of the day” for compromise talks. He said he feared a steep cost if the government moves forward with proposals that have animated massive protests as well as criticism from foreign governments and Jewish and business leaders.
“For a while, we have no longer been in a political debate, but are on the brink of constitutional and social collapse,” Herzog, a former leader of the Labor opposition party who once ran against Netanyahu, said early in the speech. “I feel, we all feel, that we are in the moment before a clash, even a violent clash. The gunpowder barrel is about to explode.”
A senior Israeli official on Wednesday called for the state to “erase” the Palestinian town of Hawara, which was rampaged by Jewish settlers over the weekend.
“I think the village of Hawara needs to be erased. I think that the state of Israel needs to do it. God forbid that regular people should do it,” Israel Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said.
His comments came after he liked a tweet that called for Hawara to be “wiped out” in the wake of a Palestinian gunman's attack that killed two brothers, Hillel Menachem Yaniv, 21, and Yagel Yaakov Yaniv, 19, who lived in the Israeli settlement of Har Bracha, around 5 miles away.
Israeli security forces were searching the Hawara area for the attacker when Jewish settlers gathered and stormed the village.
The far right coalition of Israel will start another war.
Smotrich, who is the chairman of the far-right Religious Zionist Party and has been put in charge of many of Israel’s policies in the occupied West Bank, said that he has also called for calm during the violence. But on Monday, after the brothers were killed, he said that Israel should strike back “without mercy.”
“Under any circumstances, we should not be carried away to anarchy in which citizens take the law into their own hands,” he said. “What causes this situation is when citizens are murdered in the streets.”
A Palestinian man, Sameh Hamdallah Mahmoud Aqtash, 37, was shot and killed in the violence in Hawara, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Monday. Dozens of cars were also burned.
An Israel police spokesperson told NBC News that seven people had been arrested in connection with the violence. Another three people were currently under house arrest, the spokesperson added.
About 700,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, which are territories the Palestinians want to use to build a future state. The international community, including the Biden administration, considers the settlements illegal and obstacles to peace.
Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Six-Day War.
Smotrich, a settler leader who lives in the area, told a journalist with Israel’s 13 News that the attacks on Hawara weren't “Jewish terrorism.”
“There is no such thing as Jewish terrorism, it is a criminal crime,” Smotrich said.
The American government looks the other way.
Smotrich, who has made similar comments in the past, was criticized after the video of his interview was published online.
State Department spokesperson Ned Price said at a news conference Wednesday that the comments were “irresponsible” and “repugnant.”
“Just as we condemn Palestinian incitement to violence, we condemn these provocative remarks that also amount to incitement to violence,” he said. He added the U.S. was calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials to “publicly and clearly reject and disavow these comments.”
Elsewhere, Eugene Finkel, a professor of international affairs at Baltimore’s John Hopkins University tweeted that Smotrich didn’t “even want a pretense of deniability by outsourcing it to ‘vigilantes.’”
He added: “We might be headed to a major explosion and I don’t think even the U.S. can stop it now.”
In nearly a year of violence, more than 200 Palestinians and at least 40 Israelis were killed in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, according to the Associated Press. A deadly Israeli raid on the West Bank city of Nablus killed at least 11 Palestinians last week and left scores more wounded.

The monster was arrested by the Green Bay Police after a family member discovered the remains of the victim inside a bucket.
The monster killed and dismembered Shad Thyrion during a drug-fueled sex session — dumping his head and penis in a bucket and his legs in a crockpot.
The footage shows she was quickly wrestled to the ground by a deputy after the judge in the case indicated he was going to delay the monster's trial set for next month.
Attorney Quinn Jolly, who was attacked, told Brown County Judge Thomas Walsh he planned to file a motion asking to be removed from the case, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
The monster is held on a $2 million is being evaluated for mental illness.
The monster allegedly told police they were “going to have fun trying to find all of the organs,” WBAY reported.
The mutilated victim in the ghastly crime Thursday was a 25-year-old Thyrion whom investigators have not identified but social media quickly identified it.
On Tuesday, the monster made her first appearance in Brown County Court via video conference on charges of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and third-degree sexual assault.
Prosecutors said the sexual assault charge is for acts that took place after the man was dead, WBAY reported.
Thot high on meth killed man after they had sex.
She said “police were going to have fun trying to find all of the organs as she dismembered the body. Schabusiness stated all of the body parts should be in the basement,” according to the complaint.
“Schabusiness stated she used knives that she obtained from the kitchen of the residence and that a bread knife worked the best because of the serrated blade,” the complaint continues.
The monster said she “did get paranoid and lazy and that she thought it was the ‘dope’ that was making her paranoid,” the document adds.
She also said she planned on taking all the body parts with her but “got lazy and only ended up putting the leg/foot in the van and she forgot the head,” according to the complaint.
The monster appeared calm and said very little during her court appearance Tuesday, only acknowledging she has the right to legal counsel, the outlet reported.
The monster had recently been put on probation and was supposed to be wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet but apparently managed to remove it, WBAY reported. The reason for her probation was unclear.
Assistant District Attorney Caleb Saunders called last week’s harrowing crime “one of the most serious offenses we’ve had in this county in some time.”
“I think the facts alleged are extremely concerning and disturbing and go to the violent nature and grave nature of the offense,” he said.
The suspect faces LIFE in the iron college if convicted. She is designated a potential dangerous individual and maybe on suicide watch. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Chicago mayor's race advances to a run off. The incumbent, Lori Lightfoot will not advance. She was defeated by Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson.
Lightfoot conceded and went on to congratulate them on advancing to the runoff in April.
She was the first African American woman and first openly gay mayor of America's third largest city.
The noise won on culture wars like crime. Crime is a huge issue due to gun violence and gangs.
Lightfoot, a Democrat, failed to get enough votes in the nine-person race to move on to an April 4 runoff election, according to projections by The Associated Press.
Paul Vallas, a former CEO of Chicago schools, will face Brandon Johnson, a Cook County commissioner endorsed by the Chicago Teachers Union.
Ideologically, the choice between Vallas and Johnson is stark. Vallas ran as a moderate law-and-order candidate, while Johnson ran on an unabashedly progressive agenda.
But Chicagoans sent a message that they wanted change, rejecting both an incumbent mayor and a sitting congressman. Lightfoot is the first incumbent elected Chicago mayor to lose re-election since 1983, when Jane Byrne, the city's first female mayor, lost her primary.
Lightfoot conceded defeat Tuesday night at her party in downtown Chicago, saying, "Obviously we didn't win the election today, but I stand here with my head held high."
Lightfoot has been dogged by persistent crime, which has been a top concern among Chicagoans. Crime spiked during her term, though she has repeatedly touted that it dropped year-over-year in 2022.
Vallas was widely expected to emerge from the first round of voting, having built his campaign around a tough-on-crime theme and garnering support in the vote-rich northern and northwestern sides of the city. He also got the backing of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police.
"We will have a safe Chicago. We will make Chicago the safest city in America," he said Tuesday night.
The race foe mayor continues on.
It's a bitter end to a tumultuous tenure for Lightfoot, who quickly developed an image as a national lightning rod for conservatives and repeatedly clashed with institutional interests, from the Chicago Teachers Union to the media to the police rank and file. She was at times lauded for her handling of the pandemic but saw violent riots in the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis.
Lightfoot faced long odds and was in danger of an early re-election knockout. Having lost the support she once held along Chicago’s lakeshore neighborhoods and with major labor unions working against her, she was among seven Black candidates competing for votes among the city’s Black population. She faced stiff competition, particularly from Johnson, who had the backing and organizational benefits of the powerful Chicago Teachers Union, as well as Willie Wilson, a Black entrepreneur who had been polling ahead of Johnson.
Lightfoot's unfavorable ratings have soared with Chicagoans fed up with gun violence, as well as carjackings and robberies. And despite being the sitting mayor, she routinely failed to lead in recent polling, falling behind Vallas and Democratic Rep. Jesús "Chuy" Garcia. Later in the election, she took specific aim at Johnson, which many saw as a sign that her internal numbers showed him as a growing threat.
On the issue of crime, under Lightfoot, Chicago in 2021 recorded the most killings in a quarter-century, 797, and more than 3,500 shootings — which was 1,400 more than were recorded in 2019, when Lightfoot first took office. Lightfoot has made a point of noting that violence had eased by the end of last year.
But that hasn't eased anxieties among Chicagoans. A recent poll said 63% of Chicagoans said they didn't feel safe.
The bash Democrats and culture war conference which is called CPAC is held. Its leader Matt Schlapp faces sexual abuse allegations.
CNUTS 2023.
CPAC is hosting their event and straw poll.
BE WARNED TALK OF SEXUAL ABUSE IS DISCUSSED!
The American Conservative Union is hosting the Conservative Political Action Conference is back in Washington, DC after being in Orlando and Dallas. The annual convention is now marred with controversy. Its president and CEO is under fire for an alleged sexual assualt and it has made some Republicans nervous about showing up.
Matt Schlapp is accused of groping a man on his penis and allegedly asking for sex. He was drunk when he open handedly unzipped the accuser's pants and tried to fondle him.
Schlapp tried to downplay the accusations by claiming the accuser is a liberal hack.
The accuser worked on behalf of the washed up celebrity Herschel Walker and his failed 2022 bid for Georgia senate.
Some lawmakers appear to distance themselves from CPAC. Others are going.
Washed Up 45 is an alleged sexual predator. It's no surprise he will appear. He wants to male sure he takes the bulk of Republican support if there's a race with multiple candidates.
The usual suspects are the ones who rarely appear in their districts. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are notable. They are the least effective members of the House and Senate, respectively. The members are conspiracy theorists and worthless politicians.
Then of course, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). They are do-something but flip when pressure comes to them. They dabble in conspiracy theories like the least effective members. Rep. Wes Hunt (R-TX) will join Donalds in being the two Black Republicans elected to the House to speak.
The rest are noise makers. Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Nikki Haley, Maj Toure and Jack Brewer will be the sell outs for handouts.
Chaya Raichik, Mark Levin, Todd Sterns, Bill Walton, Jack Posobiec, Tom Fitton and Brent Bozell will sharing their white extremist platforms.
The rest will be a hodge podge of noisy lawmakers and white extremists parading on culture wars and name calling. Attacking President Joe Biden and Democrats while claiming their more patriotic than others.
Noise noise noise!
Notably absent is Florida governor Ron DeSantis. He will be skipping CPAC. Also Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is not attending. Even former vice president Mike Pence will not be there. Far right agitator Candace Owens will not attend as well. Same goes Tucker Carlson, Softball Hannity, Charlie Kirk, Scott Presler and Silk (of Diamond & Silk).
The abandonment of CPAC, which runs from Wednesday through Saturday, comes as its chairman, Schlapp, defends himself against a lawsuit alleging that he fondled a male aide to then-Senate candidate Herschel Walker in Georgia in October, without the aide's consent.
In a filing in a Virginia court this month, Schlapp's lawyers wrote that he denies having committed sexual battery.
Schlapp's wife Mercedes was briefly a communications director for Washed Up 45. They both were regulars on CNN and Fox. They have not been on either network since the allegations surfaced.
Leftist appears on CNN to trash the federal response to East Palestine, Ohio and won praise from the far right. Let me be clear, Norfolk Southern is responsible for the clean up, restitution and restoration of that east Ohio village. The federal government was there upon the derailment on Feb. 3.
The noise is still fuming over the president not coming to East Palestine after one of the worst train derailments in modern history. Many train derailments happen and I don't believe any president ever visited the site as far as I known.
Why should he come and put a 25 mile restriction on travel for a photo op?
What can he do?
Nothing.
He already gave the village as much as the federal government can and the state has to declare a federal disaster to get it. Still no call as of yet.
Hell, there was a deadly mass shooting at Michigan State University and the Republicans did not respond to it nor showed an ounce of concern to it. There were 15 mass shootings and daily gun violence in the United States and yet no response from Republicans.
One train derailment became a fucking culture war. This leftist who embrace the noise of extremists lost twice in a special primary and normal primary against a local politician who knows what her district is.
She is a biter person with a orange nose.
That be Nina Turner.

"For the neoliberals to say that the residents of that area deserve what they are getting because they voted for President Donald J. Trump, it is abhorrent," she said. "This is about poverty. This is about poor, working-class, White people who are enduring some of the same things that poor working-class Black people endure whether it’s Flint, Cleveland, or Jackson, Mississippi."
The state governor Mike DeWine got a call from President Joe Biden immediately. The governor decline federal assistance and allowed a control burn which led to a massive spread of health problems for those living in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania asked for federal assistance and got it. DeWine waited two weeks before finally asking EPA chief Michael Regan to come. They did a photo op by drinking the water to a skeptical crowd of reporters.
Washed Up 45, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) came for the latter's campaign for president in 2024. The former president has no real solutions other than trolling and embracing East Palestine mayor Trent Conway, a hardcore conspiracy theorist.
When the train derailment happened, Biden, DeWine, Shapiro, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) quickly responded through social media to inform that they were aware. Vance waited 11 days because he was too busy trolling. He was infamous for posing with a Bushmaster aiming at the sky. He was trying to shoot down the Chinese balloon that was over 75,000 feet.
Turner, a leftist who thought she was the anointed candidate of choice for a Black district in Ohio lost to Shontel Brown, a local politician who had little name recognition and little money. Brown who doesn't even live in the 6th district said that she will do all she can to help.
Turner brought a circus to the 11th district, a strongly Democratic area that supported Biden over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by 60 points. Turner won only white support because she was tone deaf to the district.
She did not use her millions of campaign donations for outreach to Black voters. Her comments about Biden being a half a bowl of shit was her downfall. Turner still refuses to acknowledge that she is just not electable.
May we remind her that she lost to Jon Husted, then Secretary of State now Lt. Gov. of Ohio by 30 points!
Turner is not electable in any election. She can't win in Ohio nor Maryland. If she tries to run for anything, expect someone who's not Nina Turner to win.
Why CNN hired her is beyond me?
They should have gave her the ax. I thought she was on The Young Turks network anyway.
Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) and Rep. Emilia Sykes (D-OH) won because they understand who their constituents are. Sykes has a swing district which due to Ohio's controversial redistricting places her district in a +3 Republican and Brown in a +30 Democrat. Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) now has a +10 Democrat, Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) has a +6 Republican and Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) has a +2 Democrat.
