Bobby Caldwell Passed Away!

Bobby Caldwell has passed away.

Best known for his hit single, "What You Won't Do for Love," R&B and jazz singer Bobby Caldwell passed away at the age of 71. His wife confirmed on social media he had a brief illness before passing away.

Mary Caldwell told The Associated Press that he died in her arms at their home in Great Meadows, New Jersey, on Tuesday, after a long illness. He was 71.

The smooth soul jam “What You Won’t Do for Love” went to No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 6 on what was then called the Hot Selling Soul Singles chart. It became a long-term standard and career-defining hit for Caldwell, who also wrote the song.

The song was covered by artists, including Boyz II Men and Michael Bolton, and was sampled by Tupac Shakur on his posthumously released song “Do For Love.”

Other Caldwell songs were sampled by hip-hop artists including The Notorious B.I.G., Common, Lil Nas X and Chance the Rapper.

Bobby passed away here at home. I held him tight in my arms as he left us. I am forever heartbroken. Thanks to all of you for your many prayers over the years. He had been "FLOXED," it took his health over the last 6 years and 2 months. Rest with God, my Love. -Mary Caldwell

Stories abound, many of them shared on social media after his death, of listeners being surprised to learn that Caldwell was white and not Black.

Caldwell appeared only in silhouette on the self-titled debut solo album on which “What You Won’t Do for Love” appears.

“Caldwell was the closing chapter in a generation in which record execs wanted to hide faces on album covers so perhaps maybe their artist could have a chance,” Questlove said on Instagram.

“Thank you for your voice and gift #BobbyCaldwell,” Questlove wrote.

Chance the Rapper shared a screenshot on Instagram of a direct message exchange he had with Caldwell last year when he asked to use his music.

“I’ll be honored if you sample my song,” Caldwell wrote.

“You are such an inspiration to me and many others,” Chance told him. He said in the post that he had never been thanked for sampling a song before and has “not felt broken like this at a stranger’s passing in so long.”

Born in New York and raised in Miami, Caldwell was the son of singers who hosted a musical variety TV show called “Suppertime.” A multi-instrumentalist, he began performing professionally at 17, and got his break playing guitar in Little Richard’s band in the early 1970s. In the mid ’70s, Caldwell played in various bar bands in Los Angeles before landing a solo record deal.

Caldwell would never have a hit that came close in prominence to “What You Won’t Do for Love,” but he released several respected albums, including 1980s “Cat in The Hat” — on which he appeared prominently on the cover wearing a fedora — and 1982′s “Carry On,” on which he was his own producer and played all the instruments.

His song “Open Your Eyes” from “Cat in The Hat” was covered by John Legend and sampled by Common on his Grammy-nominated 2000 single “The Light.”

In the 1990s, Caldwell shifted to recording and performing American standards, including songs made popular by Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, he loved in his youth.

In addition to Mary, his wife of 19 years, Caldwell is survived by daughters Lauren and Tessa and stepdaughter Katie.

Come Correct!

A bag of sand drove a bag of gas nuts.

Watch The Beat with Ari Melber on MSNBC at 6pm (EST). 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is an insufferable human being. She is by far the most laziest lawmaker in the House of Representatives. 

Greene barely works. All she does is look on the internet for her name to be named in the news, pick fights with people in the news, always play the victim whenever she is cornered, threaten violence against her fellow lawmakers, obsess in conspiracy theories, dangle impeachment on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, hardly do anything for her congressional district, hardly be in her congressional district, always at these Washed Up 45 rallies, baiting the media with possible 2024 a presidential run or 2026 senate run, constantly lying and constantly trolling.

In the latest episode of insufferable drama, Greene made a claim that cartels are planting improvised bombs in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. It was debunked quickly, but it ended up been fed to her 1.5 million followers and was seen in the junk food media.

The far right-wing lawmaker posted a picture online on Wednesday of what she alleged was an explosive device planted by a drug cartel on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Explosive found by Border Patrol Agents Jan 17th. Agents have surveillance of who brought it in and when and confirmed it was the Cartel.
This changes everything.
Not only are the Cartels murdering Americans everyday through drugs and crime, but now they are planting bombs on… https://t.co/VLkiStvHCp pic.twitter.com/8uxwbd1sOn

Thank you for your testimony today Chief Ortiz and I know you are explaining what you were told when you inquired about the situation after the hearing.
Unfortunately, several Border Patrol agents are saying it was some sort of IED and there is video surveillance and pictures of… https://t.co/xQeBqXajZ6

— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) March 15, 2023

Greene suggested that the “bomb” was an attempt to harm Americans, which was later denied by U.S. Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz.

“I testified before the Committee on Homeland Security & it was alleged that Agents found an explosive device near the border. During a Jan. briefing, leadership was notified that Agents found a duct-taped ball filled with sand that wasn’t deemed a threat to agents/public,” Chief Ortiz tweeted in response to the claims.

The Republican congresswoman then replied that she had simply been relaying what she was told by members of his agency.

Greene is a bag of gas.

“Unfortunately, several Border Patrol agents are saying it was some sort of IED and there is video surveillance and pictures of a man placing the device,” she tweeted.

“They say that is why agents were sent to retrieve it in the area known as No Man’s Land. This is an area controlled by the Cartels according to BP and with the shortage of agents they aren’t just walking around out there to randomly just find something like this. According to them, they were told later that it was some sort of explosive, not filled with sand.

“I’m just explaining what I was told today and with the extreme dangerous border crisis and threat from Cartels, I’m very concerned about our agents.”

Greene has been granted a committee and she has used it as a platform to badger witnesses, criticize her follow committee members, drive attention and raise campaign funds. She has made more appearances on Fox spreading lies and disinformation.

Emboldened by white nationalists and sponsored by extremists, Greene has no intentions of coming correct when it comes to facts or the truth.

Horse Wranglers Hit On Dallas Freeway!

Teen killed after stealing a horse.

Only in Texas.

The Mare Boyz. 

Notable that theft of Kia and Hyundai vehicles has sparked American police to target the Kia Boyz. Teens have learned how to steal these vehicles from a hack. Using a USB cord and an key ignition to get the car moving. They reckless drive the vehicle and damage it putting the owner in a serious bind. They lose their property and the vehicle. The suspects are juvenile and usually are given minor criminal charges and are back out doing it again.

Now teens stealing animals is common as well.

Two mares and a teen were killed on a Dallas freeway after the teen and his partners stole the animals from a Dallas ranch. The 14-year-old was killed and two other teens were hospitalized Tuesday after a vehicle crashed into them while they were riding horses that the Dallas Police Department says were stolen.

Two of the horses also died, Dallas Police said in a news release.

Police responded to the crash at Great Trinity Forest and Julius Schepps Freeway around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, the release said.

"The preliminary investigation has determined the three riders appear to be juveniles and the horses were stolen," it added.

The 14-year-old died at the scene, while the two other riders -- a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old -- were taken to a local hospital, where they remain in stable condition, per police.

One of the horses also died at the scene, police said, and the second was euthanized on scene by a veterinarian. The third horse was injured, too, police said, but is expected to live.

Two horses were euthanized after a vehicle hit them.

According to the Dallas Police, it was later determined that the horses the teenagers were riding had been stolen, though specific details on when the horses had been taken were not immediately available. Police did say the horses were taken from a location several miles away near Interstate 20 and Bonnie View Road and Lorenza Gooch confirmed to NBC 5 that he was the owner of the horses.

It was previously reported by police that the driver who hit the horses left the scene after the crash, however, police later said the driver remained at the location and is not expected to face any charges. Further details about the crash have not yet been released by investigators.

The investigation into the crash and theft is ongoing. Police have not said whether the juveniles will face charges.

The crash and loss of life is the kind of tragedy that pains Dr. James Hatley, both as a horse owner in Southern Dallas and as a pastor.

As soon as Hatley heard of the crash, he said he rushed to his small ranch to make sure it wasn’t his horses that were stolen.

“To the parents that lost a child, I wanted to tell you that we’re praying for you,” he said, adding that a lack of parenting and resources for teens in Southern Dallas is to blame for a lot of criminality among youths.

“We as parents, the kids are our future, and so if we wait until a child gets to be 13 to try and discipline them, you’ve already lost that child,” said Hatley. “Not only can the children and the parents learn but this city ought to learn from this. The city ought to start spending money on a facility for these kids.”

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, horseback riders are to ride with the flow of traffic in the same way a bicyclist would ride with traffic. Horses are a means of transportation and are considered non-motorized vehicles.

This Monster Killed His Sister Over A Damn Video Game!

This monster killed his sister in the most heinous way.

The lawmakers will regulate banks, video games, television, the books, a woman's body, transgender youth, drag shows, free speech and train derailments. When it comes to firearms, the Republicans refuse to put an end to gun violence in the United States.

In Cincinnati, a man is facing murder charges for a senseless shooting. He shot and killed his sister over a damn video game.

Cincinnati Police were dispatched to the 200 block of Craft Street at around 11:10 p.m. Friday on reports of a person being shot, WCPO reported.

Ahmyah Stanley was later identified as the victim.

Her family spoke with WCPO and accused her brother, 22, of killing his sister because he wanted to play Fortnite when she wanted to watch a television program.

“He’s very violent and aggressive. So, he jumped on her, wrestling with her,” Ahmyah’s aunt, Tasha Lett, claimed. “She got away. She was going up the steps. She got three steps from the top to go to my cousin’s to get away from him. She didn’t realize he had a gun. He shot her. She turned away.”

Lett then accused the monster of shooting his sister an additional six times before walking out of the home.

Ahmyah was reportedly alive when officers arrived, but died soon after.

Family and friends held a vigil Monday night for Ahmyah, remembering her as a protective and caring sister.

“She was the only one who protected him. She was the only one who stood up for him, helped him, try to make sure he had a roof over his head. So, to think that he would do something this, you can’t wrap your head around it,” Alicia Stanley said.

However, other family members figured that the monster would injure someone.

“Deep down, I always knew Myshawn would hurt somebody because he was always so angry. But, I never thought he would take ‘Miss B’ away from us,” Ahmyah’s aunt, Dina Meece, informed.

Ahmyah’s grandmother, Misty Wood, even said that he threatened to kill his sister before the shooting.

“He kept saying to me he was going to kill her,” Wood said. “If he gets the death penalty, that’s what he should get.”

“I lost a niece and I lost a nephew because he’ll hopefully be in prison for the rest of his life and probably in hell,” Meece said. “God will not forgive him for that.”

On Saturday, the Hamilton County SWAT team, assisted by the Cincinnati Police Homicide Unit and Colerain Township Police Department, arrested the monster on an open warrant.

He appeared in Hamilton County courts Monday, receiving a bond set at $500,000.

The monster shot his sister six times because she wanted to watch TV and not play Fortnite.

Ahmyah was described as a “bright, vibrant, and determined person who had dreams to become a hair stylist for abused women and children” by her family.

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

What happens when a Black person shoots a white person?

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

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. 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."

Use the hashtag #ignorethenoise whenever you deal with folks who embrace this.

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

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

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.

Beautiful soul lost.

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.

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 one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

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

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

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

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

Washed Up 45: I'm The Only One Who Can Prevent World War III!

Listening to Washed Up 45 stringing up a statement can give you a headache.

Yet, he is the one who was bound to start a civil war within the United States. He is a total idiot. His supporters tried to overthrow democracy on Jan. 6, 2021. He did not do anything for three hours. He put his vice president in danger. His supporters made nearly $1 billion in damages. 

He was forced to do a video to call for his supporters to stop rioting at the U.S. Capitol even though he didn't want to. He spent a majority of his pathetic post presidency blaming everyone for his loss. On top of that, he refused to allow the peaceful transfer of power to his successor, Joe Biden.

Washed Up 45 made a bold statement when he was in Davenport, Iowa. His visit to the Quad Cities was his first as a presidential candidate for the umpteenth time. As a former president, he has a record..... a broken record. He would say the election was stolen, criticize "woke", everything was great before COVID, blame China or President Joe Biden for COVID, say Hillary Clinton should be locked up, say the FBI is part of the "deep state", the prosecutors in New York, Georgia and federal government are racist and his potential rivals ridiculous nicknames. He would rehash the "We will make America great again" and state he alone can do things previous presidents failed to do.

Russia's war with Ukraine is not popular among Republicans. They believe the U.S. and NATO should end all military funding to the embattled Ukraine. Even Washed Up 45 would be willing to allow Russia take control of regions they illegally seized in the one year war.

Washed Up 45 said on Monday that there had never been "a more dangerous time" for the world, after arguing that Biden had "driven Russia right into the arms of China." He promised to prevent a new global war, drawing cheers from his enthusiastic followers.

"Standing before you today, I am the only candidate who can make this promise: I will prevent World War III," the former president said, sparking extended applause from the crowd. "Because I really believe you're going to have World War III."

"With this administration, we could end up in World War III, because they don't speak right," said Washed Up 45. "They act tough when they should act nice, they act nice when they should act tough. Honestly, they don't know what the hell they're doing. We're going to end up in a world war over this stuff."

"It will be a nuclear war," he continued. "So, this is not like a second world war, where we have army tanks and rifles and we go after each other. This is a level that will possibly end the world. And we have people that don't know what they're doing."

His first impeachment was due to his refusal to grant military aid to Ukraine. He wanted Volodymyr Zelenskyy to issue a statement declaring Biden and his son Hunter were under criminal investigation. It was based on misinformation from Fox, Rudy Giuliani, John Solomon and Sara Carter.

Washed Up 45 also told the crowd that his victory in 2024 would lead to an abrupt ending of the Russia-Ukraine war, which has stretched on for more than a year with no signs that a peace deal is likely to be negotiated.

The former president has previously boasted that a talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin is all it would take for him to quickly end the war.

"Shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the disastrous war between Russia and Ukraine settled," he said on Monday. "It will take 24 hours, if it's not done before then."

Trump and his campaign have recently been ramping up apocalyptic rhetoric, repeatedly telling supporters that he is leading a "final battle" to "save our country."

A Trump campaign email last week urged supporters to donate to a "final battle fund," warning that the country was under attack by "the deep state" and would be irreparably "lost" if the election was won by "the Left" instead.

Is Vice President Kamala Harris Snubbing Elizabeth Warren?

The far left want Vice President Kamala Harris off the ticket.

President Joe Biden has not announced his 2024 bid for reelection. He intents to run for reelection and have Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate. A lot of noise is trying to muddy the waters with talk about a primary challenge from the likes of Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker. 

Two conspiracy theorists [Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.] Have intentions to run. They have little chance of winning, but given the noise, I expect they will get unnecessary attention.

All of that is coming from Fox, Newsmax, the far right and the far left. 

Many of the attacks against Biden is mainly his age. He is currently 80 years old and is the oldest president currently serving. Harris is the first woman, first African American and first Asian American to be the Vice President of the United States. She is being vilified by the noise the same way they're doing to Duchess Meghan and former first lady Michelle Obama.

The noise claims that Harris is an idiot, never around, always laughing at something, not authentically Black, not American, not good enough to be in that position.

Code word:_______________________.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is a do nothing senator. Warren, like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) love to scream about the ills of America and offer little to nothing to solve them.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) are headaches as well. They oppose some of Biden's policies and often block nominees and legislation.

The president and vice president can't stand them. They are the reasons why the Democratic Party struggles on messaging and being an united front.

They vilify billionaires including the ones who support some of her noise. She also has a huge troll army devoted to attack Biden and Harris for not being progressive enough.

On a local radio station, Warren made a snide remark about Harris being a running mate for Biden.

"I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team," she responded.

"I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an attorney general and I was still teaching, and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are."

Harris host dinner with the ladies of the senate. Not there, Kyrsten Sinema.

Warren issued a statement after the interview to GBH News and said she fully supported a Biden-Harris ticket.

"I fully support the president’s and vice president’s reelection together and never intended to imply otherwise," Warren told GBH News. "They’re a terrific team with a strong record of delivering for working families."

Warren spoke to Harris’ chief of staff, Lorraine Voles, according to CNN, who returned the phone call.

"But the Warren moment is infuriating many in Harris’ circle: To them, it’s the latest in a long string of snubs to a vice president whom they say has never gotten the respect or support she deserves. Warren’s words sting even more, they say, because they came from a former rival who in 2020 hoped to be picked as Biden’s running mate instead," CNN's Jasmine Wright and Edward-Isaac Dovere reported.

Members of Democratic leadership are reportedly fearful that the negativity directed at the vice president could "prove a political problem."

"People who are denigrating her are aggrandizing themselves," Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill., told CNN.

Another Democratic Party chair reportedly told the outlet that Harris "seems to be an albatross."

"She’s either going to be a liability or a help. And you better embrace her because it’s not like she’s going to be off the ticket," the person said.

Democrats have expressed concern over Harris' "basic political skills" in recent weeks ahead of a potential 2024 announcement. 

Democratic fundraiser John Morgan told the New York Times in February that Harris' weakness as vice president will be "one of the most hard-hitting arguments against Biden."

"I can’t think of one thing she’s done except stay out of the way and stand beside him at certain ceremonies," he said.

Conspiracy Theorist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Jumps Into 2024!

One more nut in the tree.

The son of the late Democratic senator and 1968 Democratic presidential candidate is a huge conspiracy theorist. He is considering a run for president. 

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the son of Robert F. Kennedy is an anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist and the black sheep of the Kennedy family. He is the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy and late senator Edward Kennedy. 

He has no relation to Sen. John N. Kennedy (R-LA), the white extremist from Louisiana.

He is married to actress Cheryl Hines. Hines has denounced Kennedy's antics in the past.

Kennedy, describes himself as a lifelong Democrat and has faced criticism for his activism against the COVID-19 vaccine.

In his speech, he called the Democratic National Committee (DNC) decision to upset the presidential nominating calendar wrong, as it moves New Hampshire's primary from the first place into the third.

New Hampshire, which prides itself on its well-informed electorate and its emphasis on small-scale and grassroots retail politics, has for a century held the first primary in the race for the White House. While Republicans are making no changes to their presidential nominating calendar in the 2024 election cycle, the DNC last month voted overwhelmingly to approve a new top of the calendar, pushed by Biden, that upends the traditional schedule.

The Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary has never decided who will be the nominee. The South Carolina primary is a play for Black voters as well as a reach to engage with southern voters which Democrats struggle to flip.

Iowa and New Hampshire are white majority states. Why waste time trying to win over those in Iowa when the state has trended more Republican. It's like trying to flip Florida and Ohio. 

These states are almost ruby red and Democrats are nearly wiped out.

Ahead of the DNC's final approval of the schedule, Kennedy wrote an open letter to the committee, urging members to keep New Hampshire in the first spot because of the state's long history advocating for civil rights and election transparency. 

The DNC changed the nominating calendar in an effort to reflect more diversity in the Democratic Party, but Kennedy said that New Hampshire already showcases the diversity in America. As a swing state, Kennedy said, New Hampshire's "four electoral votes could decide the 2024 election."

"Most importantly, New Hampshire runs the most secure and transparent election in America. It should be a model for our country at a time when we need it most," Kennedy wrote. 

Granite State Democrats warn that New Hampshire will still go first — courtesy of a longstanding state law that mandates the leadoff primary position — and that a primary not sanctioned by the DNC, where Biden doesn’t take part, could invite trouble for the president.

Kennedy and Marianne Williamson have very slim odds to become the Democratic nominee. President Joe Biden has not announced his 2024 bid but is likely to run.

Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, The Daily Mail, far right and far left extremists are devoted to destroying the Biden administration and putting Republicans back in power. These  entities are claiming Democrats fear Biden's age being a factor.

These are the very people who support noise makers like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Washed Up 45, Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley and numerous other losers.

Black voters will not support a white nationalist like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

White Extremists Terrorize Akron!

Hate groups storm a suburban Akron park to disrupt draq queens.

Thanks to Fox, Libs of TikTok, Republicans and Twitter, a bunch of white extremists came to Wadsworth, Ohio and interrupted the suburban community. Rep. Emilia Sykes (D-OH) represents Akron and Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) represents Cleveland. 

I can only imagine how these two Black women who represent the urban Northeast Ohio felt seeing the noise in their communities.

What drove the white extremists to the Akron area?

Drag queens.

The things that keep these folks up all night..... a bunch of drag performers who read stories to children.

These folks are worked up over drag queens, transgender women amd LGBTQ activism.

Seriously, I thought America evolved! I guess not.

Republicans have spent a majority of their time legislating a women's right to choose. 

The Republicans have legislated what type of history is taught in schools. Meaning that African American, Indigenous Americans, Asian Americans and immigrants who contributed to America are not important. They want to keep white children from learning about America's ugly history of racism, sexism, slavery, colonialism and imperialism.

The Republicans have legislated an agenda that bans "woke" and rolled back regulations that lead to numerous train derailments, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and destructive vehicle safety.

They have enough time to spend tax dollars to allow more firearms on the streets.

They cheer on adversities who want to weaken America's allies. They cheer on authoritarians like Washed Up 45, Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban, Jair Bolsonaro, Benjamin Netanyahu and Alexander Lukashenko. 

Foreign leaders and advisors who literally want to eradicate human life.

But here we are.... having the Proud Boys, Neo Nazis and anti-LGBTQ protesters harass and threaten violence on Americans who just want to love one another without fear or prejudice.

Actual Nazis protesting a drag show on Wadsworth Ohio yesterday. This is what the @GOP is creating, an atmosphere where actual Nazis are encouraged and incited to create an atmosphere of hatred akin to Germany on the 1930’s. #RepublicansAreNazis pic.twitter.com/KNvFOEAqnS

Violence broke out a couple times today between anti-drag protesters and activists defending the event in Wadsworth, Ohio.

Some online are pointing out this moment from the fight earlier.

I cannot confirm definitively what this object pointed at the crowd was, but feel free to see for yourself (cropped, slow motion).

As you'll see in next tweet, he was later arrested.https://t.co/NHYlY6Ne5Z pic.twitter.com/4r1L0GoJgv

The Proud Boys were also at the anti-drag protest in Ohio today, but tried to distance themselves from the avowed Nazi groups.

"We're all here for the same reason," a 'White Lives Matter Ohio' guy said.

"We are, but go over that way," PB replied.

"They're civic nationalists,"… https://t.co/lNTS7maymQ pic.twitter.com/7s9mjlhw8U

The neo-Nazi "Blood Tribe" group did get along well with "White Lives Matter Ohio."

"Weimar conditions!" the two groups chanted together outside the drag event. "Weimar solutions!"

"Heil Hitler!" yelled the Nazis, as they waved swastika flags. pic.twitter.com/ISHxTnOiId

Wadsworth,Ohio. Drag queen story time for kids. #Savethechildren pic.twitter.com/S5PxTnccqI

Hundreds of protesters, including armed white supremacists, and LGBT-community supporters descended on Wadsworth's Memorial Park on Saturday as a humanist group tried to put on a drag queen storytelling event for children.

White supremacists and white nationalist groups have descended on and disrupted Drag Queen Story Hour events from Boston to Colorado. In December outside a public library where a show was canceled in the eclectic, north-central Columbus neighborhood of Clintonville, White Lives Matter Ohio and others celebrated the cancellation with neo-Nazi slogans and gestures.

Toward the end of the four-hour event, two people charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct were arrested after a series of melees involving pepper spray, the violent use of a flag pole as a weapon and a protester who, according to a witness and a video posted on social media, allegedly pulled a gun and tried to fire the weapon twice.

Wadsworth Police Chief Dan Chafin said Sunday that he's aware of the footage of the alleged handgun but couldn't comment further pending an investigation. The man wielding the metallic object, along with another who supported the event, were jailed.

With vehicles at the event bearing out-of-state license plates, according to some who attended, Chafin said police lost track of the crowd count at around 200 people. Police from Medina city and county, Brunswick, Brunswick Hills, Hinkley, Seville, Montville, the county drug task force and the Ohio State Highway Patrol assisted Wadsworth police in patrolling and securing the event. Paramedics from across the region were on hand.

Chafin said the "Rock-n-Roll Humanist Drag Queen Story Hour" event did proceed as planned and permitted by the city, but the situation remained volatile from start to finish with neo-Nazis yelling racial slurs from behind metal barricades and attendees, including parents and children, being followed by protesters into and out of the event.

Protesters vastly outnumbered supporters.

A Black reporter from the Akron Beacon Journal assigned to cover the event left, for his own safety, after being called a racial slur several times by protesters. Video of the event posted by attendees and a documentary filmmaker shows a bald, white man swinging a black flag with a white swastika. Members of the neo-Nazi's group point out the few Black people at the event.

"How does it feel being a pedophile?" one man in the white supremacist group says.

"There's a gay f****t right there," another man replies in the video, which has been viewed 1 million times on Twitter.

Protesters carried signs for "White lives matter" and "Mothers against grooming," which refers to the alleged process of building trust with children or families with the ultimate aim of child sexual abuse.

Walmart Shutting Down Stores Cause Of Theft!

Portland, Oregon will lose all of its Walmart stores.

They build these damn Walmart stores in these cities, drive out the smaller retailers, dominate the area for at least a few decades before they all of sudden decide to close up shop and place the community in a situation where a ghost box store remains, a food desert and blame the closing on allegations of minor crime being a reason for leaving.

I hate to say this, but crime is an issue going into 2024. 

Inflation, economic stress due to working at crappy jobs, drug abuse and social media are contributing factors to theft.

I was a victim of a crime. The Kia Boyz got into my vehicle and damage the window and stole property. They did not steal the car because it has an immobilizer but they could have tried to damage the vehicle at some point if they learned how to hack an immobilizer.

I couldn't go to work and I had to listen to the loud noise of wind ravaging through the broken window. Thankful I had full coverage for the replacement of a window. 

I feel the pain and it has me concerned that crime will become an anchor on President Joe Biden's neck.

Republicans offer no real solutions to stopping crime. They only see it as a potential culture war. They have unpopular ideas and completely out of touch with America.

But they sure know how to message. Scare folks with things like crime and claims of the Democrats wanting to defund the police.

“Theft is growing at a faster rate than sales,” said Dean Rosenblum, a senior U.S. retail analyst at Bernstein Research. Mr. Rosenblum said theft is becoming a big enough problem that it’s starting to affect margins, which is why retailers are talking about it more frequently.

Retailers typically conduct a physical count of their inventory once a year and compare it to what is recorded on their books. The difference is known as shrink, a broad term that encompasses not just internal and external theft but also process failures that could lead to inventory being lost or recorded inaccurately. 

Walmart, Inc. based in the northwestern city of Bentonville, Arkansas is deciding to close 280 stores in local communities citing theft and constant police reports. 

The shutdowns come after Walmart Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillan issued a warning on the downside impact of crime and retail theft in urban locales.

“Theft is an issue. It’s higher than what it has historically been,” McMillon stated in a CNBC “Squawk Box” interview late last year. “I think local law enforcement being staffed and being a good partner is part of that equation. If that’s not corrected over time, prices will be higher, and/or stores will close.”

Walmart has closed stores in Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, Albuquerque, Milwaukee, Chicago, Portland, OR, Tampa, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Juneau, Cleveland and Baltimore.

Walmart is struggling with online retail which dominates with Amazon. Folks are feeling safer having groceries, hardware and electronics delivered to their homes. Walmart can claim crime and low performance all they want, but in the short term, folk who felt betrayed by Walmart closing will not travel to the nearest store.

I believe if communities boycott stores that close in their neighborhoods, it may in the short term hurt their bottom line. But I am just going to keep my head down and head to Walmart for the cheapest products since I drive.

Portland, Oregon is the largest city in the state. It has a population of 653,000 residents.

Proud Boy Rapper Calls Lady O A Man!

This rapper has a creepy obsession with Washed Up 45.

Forgiato Blow, a white rapper from Tampa is the grandson of Stu Arnold, founder of Auto Trader. Known as Kurt Jantz, the white rapper is a far right extremist who used his inheritance to start a career in music. He dubbed himself "Trump's Nephew" and "the mayor of MAGAville."

He is under federal watch for his participation in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

He appeared at many Republican events and is the biggest stan for Washed Up 45.

Jantz has been making music since 2013. Back then, he’d rap about money, cars, guns, and women. He never achieved any mainstream musical recognition of note, but like many other MAGA World celebrities, he was later able to carve out a niche for himself within the movement surrounding Washed Up 45. In 2016, he put out his first pro-Trump song, “Silver Spoon.” Today he’s got more than 116,000 subscribers on YouTube, racks up hundreds of thousands of views on his videos, and has streams in the millions on Spotify. His “Let’s Go Brandon” Christmas single (he recorded five versions of “Let’s Go Brandon” tracks in total) hit over a million views on YouTube. He’s collaborated with Vanilla Ice and Rick Ross (though, to be fair, their collaborations have been less about MAGA and more about partying in South Florida).  

“I’ve always thought I was the Donald Trump of rap,” said Jantz. “In the music industry, everyone loved me, but nobody wanted to support me on a big record label. Or everybody wants to support me and be my friend when they need something from me. I felt like that was like Trump—before he was president, everybody loved him… Said he’s going to be the president and they said, ‘No way.’ And then what happened? He became the president. That’s like me and music. I said I was going to make it through, you know, being a white rapper.”

He also is a pretty racist asshole. 

So he decided to throw out a troupe about former First Lady Michelle Obama.

The claim was Obama was born a man. And a photoshopped image of a pregnant woman was supposedly her.

He used a photoshopped image of the former first lady in a stupid promotion of a rap video. He supports the release of those who participated in the insurrection. He also believes that rioter Ashli Babbitt was murdered by the police. 

Babbitt, a conspiracy theorist who traveled from California to Washington, DC to hear Washed Up 45 spew lies about the election. She was motivated to storm the Capitol.

She was fatally shot by the U.S. Capitol Police after she attempted to penetrated a barrier near the location of former vice president Mike Pence and then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Her mother became an extremist as well. When the cop walked, it made these extremists believe that Black Lives Matter and Democrats plotted her death. 

Forgiato Blow tattooed her on his body and made numerous songs in honor of her.

He is a Proud Boy who supports the noise. Mind you, he is not a wack rapper. But he is no where close to the levels of Eminem, LL Cool J, De La Soul or Rakim. He is what many see as a country rapper who dabbles in mumble rap and conspiracy theories.

I always remember the words of the former first lady:

"When they go low, we go high!"

“Going low is easy, which is why people go to it,” Obama said. “It’s easy to go low. It’s easy to lead by fear. It’s easy to be divisive. It’s easy to make people feel afraid.

“That’s the easy thing and it’s also the short-term thing,” Obama said.

“For me, what I learned from my husband, what I learned from eight years in the White House, this life, this world, our responsibility in it is so much bigger than us. When I want to go low, it’s all about my own ego. It’s not about solving anything.... It’s about seeking revenge on the thing that happened to you.”

Boebert Going To Be A Grandma!

Boebert gave birth at in early 20s. Her son (left) about to be a dad.

The insufferable lawmaker will play on the voter's sympathies in 2024. She will exploit her 17 year old son's life into parenthood as a way to justify a reason to be a member of Congress.

Boebert revealed this family news at a women’s breakfast during the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland that ended last weekend, where she received a “mothers of influence” award. Boebert addressed women and men at the breakfast after accepting the award.

“I’m going to tell you all for the first time in a public setting that, not only am I a mother of four boys, but, come April, I will be a Gigi to a brand new grandson,” she said.

Boebert’s son, when she talked with him about becoming a grandmother, pointed out that Boebert made her own mother a grandmother at 36 and he suggested it was “hereditary,” Boebert told those at the breakfast.

She then praised the values of “rural conservative communities” where teen pregnancy rates tend to be higher, she said, “because we value the preciousness of life.” Boebert has challenged abortion laws and told conference participants that she and her husband were concerned about whether her son and his partner would “choose life…….And they did. And we are so proud of them — for making that sacrifice and being selfless in that position…”

Boebert staffers on Friday confirmed the announcement. Breaking from a meeting for an interview, Boebert verified her son and his girlfriend are not married and declined to reveal the age of the girlfriend, other than to say she’s over 14. (Colorado’s age of consent is 17, with exceptions allowing unmarried consensual sex when partners are within four years of the same age.)

Boebert said she and her husband, Jayson, plan to do all they can to support the young parents. “It’s something Jayson and I did not have — family that could step in and help us…. We want them to have everything possible for the baby and for themselves.”

Her son soon will graduate from high school, she said, and works at a retail tire store.

“I am just very proud of both of them for being responsible for their situation. This is a huge responsibility they are taking on. They made the right choice. Nothing was forced on them. This is a decision they made on their own,” Boebert said, adding that she doesn’t intend to change her political position opposing sex education in schools as critics have urged her to do.

“He is very excited to be a father. My mom was 18 when she had me, which inspired me to be a mother when I was 18 years old.”

Well Boebert is facing a rematch. Adam Frisch is running again and hoping this time folks will eventually see Boebert as noise and not progress. Her old restaurant Shooter's Grille in Rifle will be a Mexican Restaurant.
