Conservative Outrage Over Tucker Carlson Cannon Firing!

Who gonna hire him?

I am not going to waste time collecting tweets from the noise. I am just gonna tell you that they're mad and they'll eventually get over it. I mean I am still angry over Tiffany Cross being let go, but I am not going to protest MSNBC forever.

Many of Tucker Carlson's hardcore supporters are so done with Fox. They were having a blast watching Tiffany Cross being fired from MSNBC. They were happy and celebrating the sudden departure of Chris Cuomo and now Don Lemon from CNN.

But when it came to Tucker Carlson being fired out the cannon.... cue the outrage.

Washed Up 45 was “shocked” and that Carlson was “a very good person, a very good man and very talented” in reaction to Monday’s news. He added, “I don’t know if it was voluntary or was it somebody fired, but I think Tucker has been terrific. Especially over the last year or so he’s terrific to me.”

This was not a plot by George Soros, Media Matters or the Democratic Party. 

It was the decision of Keith Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch and Suzanne Scott.

Fox dismissed Carlson and the executive producer of his evening show, effective immediately. Carlson's last broadcast was April 21, a rotation of guest hosts will fill the slot until a permanent replacement is found. In their statement, Fox did not provide a reason for Carlson's termination, lending media speculation that it was due to Fox's recent defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, Carlson's internal criticism of Fox leadership, or the pending lawsuit from former Fox producer Abby Grossberg alleging an "appalling work environment while working on Carlson's show".

Fox fired Carlson without much warning. He was the No. 1 cable news host.

Conservatives are pissed.

Fox stock took a major tumble since the departure.

Carlson was blindsided by the cannon firing. Many of the staffers are celebrating the departure. They believe his departure will bring journalism back to Fox.

Ironic, Carlson was having a laugh over Elon Musk firing Twitter employees.

Harry Belafonte Passed Away!

Iconic entertainer Harry Belafonte passed away.

Iconic entertainer and activist Harry Belafonte has passed away at the age of 96.

Belafonte, the civil rights and entertainment giant who began as a groundbreaking actor and singer and became an activist, humanitarian and conscience of the world.

Belafonte died Tuesday of congestive heart failure at his New York home, his wife Pamela by his side, said Ken Sunshine, of public relations firm Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis.

With his glowing, handsome face and silky-husky voice, Belafonte was one of the first Black performers to gain a wide following on film and to sell a million records as a singer; many still know him for his signature hit “Banana Boat Song (Day-O),” and its call of “Day-O! Daaaaay-O.” But he forged a greater legacy once he scaled back his performing career in the 1960s and lived out his hero Paul Robeson’s decree that artists are “gatekeepers of truth.”

He stands as the model and the epitome of the celebrity activist. Few kept up with Belafonte’s time and commitment and none his stature as a meeting point among Hollywood, Washington and the civil rights movement.

Belafonte not only participated in protest marches and benefit concerts, but helped organize and raise support for them. He worked closely with his friend and generational peer the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., often intervening on his behalf with both politicians and fellow entertainers and helping him financially. He risked his life and livelihood and set high standards for younger Black celebrities, scolding Jay Z and Beyonce for failing to meet their “social responsibilities,” and mentoring Usher, Common, Danny Glover and many others. In Spike Lee’s 2018 film “BlacKkKlansman,” he was fittingly cast as an elder statesman schooling young activists about the country’s past.

Belafonte’s friend, civil rights leader Andrew Young, would note that Belafonte was the rare person to grow more radical with age. He was ever engaged and unyielding, willing to take on Southern segregationists, Northern liberals, the billionaire Koch brothers and the country’s first Black president, Barack Obama, whom Belafonte would remember asking to cut him “some slack.”

Belafonte responded, “What makes you think that’s not what I’ve been doing?”

Belafonte had been a major artist since the 1950s. He won a Tony Award in 1954 for his starring role in John Murray Anderson’s “Almanac” and five years later became the first Black performer to win an Emmy for the TV special “Tonight with Harry Belafonte.”

Harry Belafonte met then President Barack Obama.

In 1954, he co-starred with Dorothy Dandridge in the Otto Preminger-directed musical “Carmen Jones,” a popular breakthrough for an all-Black cast. The 1957 movie “Island in the Sun” was banned in several Southern cities, where theater owners were threatened by the Ku Klux Klan because of the film’s interracial romance between Belafonte and Joan Fontaine.

His “Calypso,” released in 1955, became the first officially certified million-selling album by a solo performer, and started a national infatuation with Caribbean rhythms (Belafonte was nicknamed, reluctantly, the “King of Calypso″). Admirers of Belafonte included a young Bob Dylan, who debuted on record in the early ’60s by playing harmonica on Belafonte’s “Midnight Special.”

“Harry was the best balladeer in the land and everybody knew it,” Dylan later wrote. “He was a fantastic artist, sang about lovers and slaves — chain gang workers, saints and sinners and children. ... Harry was that rare type of character that radiates greatness, and you hope that some of it rubs off on you.”

Belafonte befriended King in the spring of 1956 after the young civil rights leader called and asked for a meeting. They spoke for hours, and Belafonte would remember feeling King raised him to the “higher plane of social protest.” Then at the peak of his singing career, Belafonte was soon producing a benefit concert for the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama that helped make King a national figure. By the early 1960s, he had decided to make civil rights his priority.

“I was having almost daily talks with Martin,” Belafonte wrote in his memoir “My Song,” published in 2011. “I realized that the movement was more important than anything else.”

The Kennedys were among the first politicians to seek his opinions, which he willingly shared. John F. Kennedy, at a time when Blacks were as likely to vote for Republicans as for Democrats, was so anxious for his support that during the 1960 election he visited Belafonte at his Manhattan home. Belafonte schooled Kennedy on the importance of King, and arranged for them to speak.

“I was quite taken by the fact that he (Kennedy) knew so little about the Black community,” Belafonte told NBC in 2013. “He knew the headlines of the day, but he wasn’t really anywhere nuanced or detailed on the depth of Black anguish or what our struggle’s really about.”

Belafonte would often criticize the Kennedys for their reluctance to challenge the Southern segregationists who were then a substantial part of the Democratic Party. He argued with Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, the president’s brother, over the government’s failure to protect the “Freedom Riders” trying to integrate bus stations. He was among the Black activists at a widely publicized meeting with the attorney general, when playwright Lorraine Hansberry and others stunned Kennedy by questioning whether the country even deserved Black allegiance.

“Bobby turned red at that. I had never seen him so shaken,” Belafonte later wrote.

In 1963, Belafonte was deeply involved with the March on Washington. He recruited his close friend Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman and other celebrities and persuaded the left-wing Marlon Brando to co-chair the Hollywood delegation with the more conservative Charlton Heston, a pairing designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience. In 1964, he and Poitier personally delivered tens of thousands of dollar to activists in Mississippi after three “Freedom Summer” volunteers were murdered — the two celebrities were chased by car at one point by members of the KKK. The following year, he brought in Tony Bennett, Joan Baez and other singers to perform for the marchers in Selma, Alabama.

When King was assassinated, in 1968, Belafonte helped pick out the suit he was buried in, sat next to his widow, Coretta, at the funeral, and continued to support his family, in part through an insurance policy he had taken out on King in his lifetime.

“Much of my political outlook was already in place when I encountered Dr. King,” Belafonte later wrote. “I was well on my way and utterly committed to the civil rights struggle. I came to him with expectations and he affirmed them.”

King’s death left Belafonte isolated from the civil rights community. He was turned off by the separatist beliefs of Stokely Carmichael and other “Black Power” activists and had little chemistry with King’s designated successor, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy. But the entertainer’s causes extended well beyond the U.S.

He mentored South African singer and activist Miriam Makeba and helped introduce her to American audiences, the two winning a Grammy in 1964 for the concert record “An Evening With Belafonte/Makeba.” He coordinated Nelson Mandela’s first visit to the U.S. since being released from prison in 1990. A few years earlier, he initiated the all-star, million-selling “We Are the World” recording, the Grammy-winning charity song for famine relief in Africa.

Belafonte’s early life and career paralleled those of Poitier, who died in 2022. Both spent part of their childhoods in the Caribbean and ended up in New York. Both served in the military during World War II, acted in the American Negro Theatre and then broke into film. Poitier shared his belief in civil rights, but still dedicated much of his time to acting, a source of some tension between them. While Poitier had a sustained and historic run in the 1960s as a leading man and box office success, Belafonte grew tired of acting and turned down parts he regarded as “neutered.″

“Sidney radiated a truly saintly dignity and calm. Not me,″ Belafonte wrote in his memoir. “I didn’t want to tone down my sexuality, either. Sidney did that in every role he took.″

Belafonte was very much a human being. He acknowledged extra-marital affairs, negligence as a parent and a frightening temper, driven by lifelong insecurity. “Woe to the musician who missed his cue, or the agent who fouled up a booking,″ he confided.

In his memoir, he chastised Poitier for a “radical breach″ by backing out on a commitment to star as Mandela in a TV miniseries Belafonte had conceived, then agreeing to play Mandela for a rival production. He became so estranged from King’s widow and children that he was not asked to speak at her funeral. In 2013, he sued three of King’s children over control of some of the civil rights leader’s personal papers. In his memoir, he would allege that the King children were more interested in “selling trinkets and memorabilia” than in serious thought.

He made news years earlier when he compared Colin Powell, the first Black secretary of state, to a slave “permitted to come into the house of the master” for his service in the George W. Bush administration. He was in Washington in January 2009 as Obama was inaugurated, officiating along with Baez and others at a gala called the Inaugural Peace Ball. But Belafonte would later criticize Obama for failing to live up to his promise and lacking “fundamental empathy with the dispossessed, be they white or Black.”

Belafonte did occasionally serve in government, as cultural adviser for the Peace Corps during the Kennedy administration and decades later as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. For his film and music career, he received the motion picture academy’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, a National Medal of Arts, a Grammy for lifetime achievement and numerous other honorary prizes. He found special pleasure in winning a New York Film Critics Award in 1996 for his work as a gangster in Robert Altman’s “Kansas City.”

“I’m as proud of that film critics’ award as I am of all my gold records,” he wrote in his memoir.

He was married three times, most recently to photographer Pamela Frank, and had four children. Three of them — Shari, David and Gina — became actors.

Harry Belafonte was born Harold George Bellanfanti Jr. in 1927, in a community of West Indians in Harlem. His father was a seaman and cook with Dutch and Jamaican ancestry and his mother, part Scottish, worked as a domestic. Both parents were undocumented immigrants and Belafonte recalled living “an underground life, as criminals of a sort, on the run.″

The household was violent: Belafonte sustained brutal beatings from his father, and he was sent to live for several years with relatives in Jamaica. Belafonte was a poor reader — he was probably dyslexic, he later realized — and dropped out of high school, soon joining the Navy. While in the service, he read “Color and Democracy” by the Black scholar W.E.B. Du Bois and was deeply affected, calling it the start of his political education.

After the war, he found a job in New York as an assistant janitor for some apartment buildings. One tenant liked him enough to give him free tickets to a play at the American Negro Theatre, a community repertory for black performers. Belafonte was so impressed that he joined as a volunteer, then as an actor. Poitier was a peer, both of them “skinny, brooding and vulnerable within our hard shells of self-protection,″ Belafonte later wrote.

Belafonte met Brando, Walter Matthau and other future stars while taking acting classes at the New School for Social Research. Brando was an inspiration as an actor, and he and Belafonte became close, sometimes riding on Brando’s motorcycle or double dating or playing congas together at parties. Over the years, Belafonte’s political and artistic lives would lead to friendships with everyone from Frank Sinatra and Lester Young to Eleanor Roosevelt and Fidel Castro.

His early stage credits included “Days of Our Youth″ and Sean O’Casey’s “Juno and the Peacock,″ a play Belafonte remembered less because of his own performance than because of a backstage visitor, Robeson, the actor, singer and activist.

“What I remember more than anything Robeson said, was the love he radiated, and the profound responsibility he felt, as an actor, to use his platform as a bully pulpit,″ Belafonte wrote in his memoir. His friendship with Robeson and support for left-wing causes eventually brought trouble from the government. FBI agents visited him at home and allegations of Communism nearly cost him an appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show.″ Leftists suspected, and Belafonte emphatically denied, that he had named names of suspected Communists so he could perform on Sullivan’s show.

By the 1950s, Belafonte was also singing, finding gigs at the Blue Note, the Vanguard and other clubs — he was backed for one performance by Charlie Parker and Max Roach — and becoming immersed in folk, blues, jazz and the calypso he had heard while living in Jamaica. Starting in 1954, he released such top 10 albums as “Mark Twain and Other Folk Favorites″ and “Belafonte,″ and his popular singles included “Mathilda,″ “Jamaica Farewell″ and “The Banana Boat Song,″ a reworked Caribbean ballad that was a late addition to his “Calypso″ record.

“We found ourselves one or two songs short, so we threw in `Day-O’ as filler,″ Belafonte wrote in his memoir.

He was a superstar, but one criticized, and occasionally sued, for taking traditional material and not sharing the profits. Belafonte expressed regret and also worried about being typecast as a calypso singer, declining for years to sing “Day-O″ live after he gave television performances against banana boat backdrops.

Belafonte was the rare young artist to think about the business side of show business. He started one of the first all-Black music publishing companies. He produced plays, movies and TV shows, including Off-Broadway’s “To Be Young, Gifted, and Black,” in 1969. He was the first Black person to produce for TV.

Belafonte made history in 1968 by filling in for Johnny Carson on the “Tonight” show for a full week. Later that year, a simple, spontaneous gesture led to another milestone. Appearing on a taped TV special starring Petula Clark, Belafonte joined the British singer on the anti-war song “On the Path of Glory.″ At one point, Clark placed a hand on Belafonte’s arm. The show’s sponsor, Chrysler, demanded the segment be reshot. Clark and Belafonte resisted, successfully, and for the first time a man and woman of different colors touched on national television.

In the 1970s, he returned to movie acting, co-starring with Poitier in “Buck and the Preacher,″ a commercial flop, the raucous and popular comedy “Uptown Saturday Night.” His other film credits include “Bobby,″ “White Man’s Burden,″ and cameos in Altman’s “The Player″ and “Ready to Wear.″ He also appeared in the Altman-directed TV series “Tanner on Tanner″ and was among those interviewed for “When the Levees Broke,″ Spike Lee’s HBO documentary about Hurricane Katrina. In 2011, HBO aired a documentary about Belafonte, “Sing Your Song.”

Mindful to the end that he grew up in poverty, Belafonte did not think of himself as an artist who became an activist, but an activist who happened to be an artist.

“When you grow up, son,″ Belafonte remembered his mother telling him, “never go to bed at night knowing that there was something you could have done during the day to strike a blow against injustice and you didn’t do it.″

In addition to his wife, Belafonte is survived by his children Adrienne Belafonte Biesemeyer, Shari Belafonte, Gina Belafonte and David Belafonte; two stepchildren, Sarah Frank and Lindsey Frank; and eight grandchildren.

Biden: Let's Finish The Job!

Let's Finish The Job. 

This will be one of the campaign slogans for the Democratic candidate Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.

Today, Joe Biden declared his intention to run for president. The 46th President of the United States is running for reelection. He will face an onslaught of conspiracy theories and attacks on his age and his policies from those extremists on the right and left.

He and running mate Kamala Harris will be subjected to endless speculation about being  replaced. They will be facing attacks from agitators who claim they are hiding from questions. 

Biden-Harris 2024.

It will be a campaign that will hopefully be disciplined and competent. 

He will face primary challenges from conspiracy theorists Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Both challengers have been amplified by Fox, Russia and the likes of Steve Bannon.

They will face the eventual Republican nominee. It could be Washed Up 45, Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchison, Vivek Ramaswamy and perennial loser Larry Elder.

Also in the mix could be Tim Scott or Ron DeSantis. Scott has an exploratory committee and DeSantis is still on the fence.

The three-minute-plus video hits several campaign themes familiar with Biden’s political rhetoric of late. It’s largely a positive message but does warn of “MAGA extremists [that] are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms, cutting Social Security that you paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy, dictating what health care decisions women can make. Banning books and telling people who they can love, all while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.”

Biden, 80 is the oldest serving U.S. President. If he does succeed in a second term, he will be 86 years old. Biden is betting his first-term legislative achievements and more than 50 years of experience in Washington will count for more than concerns over his age. He faces a smooth path to winning his party’s nomination, with no serious Democratic rivals. But he’s still set for a hard-fought struggle to retain the presidency in a bitterly divided nation.

Aides acknowledge that while some in his party might prefer an alternative to Biden, there is anything but consensus within their diverse coalition on who that might be. And they insist that when Biden is compared with whomever the GOP nominates, Democrats and independents will rally around Biden.

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson Out!

Fox fires Tucker Carlson out the cannon.

Another shocking story, the controversial host Tucker Carlson is out at Fox. Perhaps, the most watched cable news host in history has been fired out the cannon. He was the No. 1 in primetime with 4 million viewers.

That means Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Laura Ingraham are not safe.

The network announced that Carlson will not be on tonight.

“Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.

Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday, April 21. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 pm ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.” 

It came days after Fox announced they were settling with Dominion for $787.5 billion after the network promoted baseless claims that the voting systems changed votes from Washed Up 45 to Joe Biden.

Dominion claimed it was owed damages resulting from Fox’ airing of false claims about its role in the 2020 election. In the past few months, emails and texts gathered for the trial from Fox executives and anchors — Carlson and Sean Hannity included — hinted that people working at the company knowingly put forth false information about the election and Dominion’s involvement in it.

Carlson found himself embroiled in serious controversy throughout his time at Fox. In recent weeks, a lawsuit from a former booker at the network, Abby Grossberg, accused Carlson’s staff of making anti-Semitic jokes, liberal use of the word “cunt” in the office, and casual misogyny.

There was zero indication of Carlson’s exit as recently as Friday evening, when at the close of what would be his final episode he said to viewers a typical, “We’ll be back on Monday.” In fact, as of this morning there were still promos running for Carlson’s planned interview with Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

Carlson was most known for promoting white supremacist propaganda. The program was a favorite among Russian propagandists.

Carlson began his Fox tenure as a political analyst in 2009, appearing on various programs before the launch of Tucker Carlson Tonight in 2016. Prior to that, he worked at CNN from 2000 to 2005, where he served as cohost of the debate-style program Crossfire, before making the leap to MSNBC, where he hosted the primetime program Tucker from 2005 to 2008.

Don Lemon was fired out the cannon at CNN today.

BREAKING: Don Lemon Out!

Don Lemon fired out the cannon.

The Variety article and Chris Licht's zero tolerance for political theatrics did longtime host in. Don Lemon, a staple of CNN is fired out the cannon. 

The on and off air antics towards Kaitlin Collins did him no good as well.

CNN announced the split today. 

Oliver Darcy, CNN's Media Correspondent reported the news. Although, no specific reason was given, it was a shocking development to the struggling network's revamping.

Don Lemon was demoted from primetime to host CNN This Morning. He took the role in early 2023.

Lemon made the announcement on Twitter, writing: “I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN, I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.

“At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network,” his statement continued. “It is clear that there are some larger issues at play. With that said, I want to thank my colleagues and the many teams I have worked with for an incredible run. They are the most talented journalists in the business, and I wish them all the best.”

Licht in return wrote in a memo sent to the staff.

"To my CNN Colleagues, CNN and Don have parted ways. Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors. CNN This Morning has been on the air for nearly six months, and we are committed to its success."

Lemon’s termination comes three weeks after our sister site Variety published an exposé in which more than a dozen of Lemon’s former and current colleagues outlined a pattern of allegedly misogynistic, inappropriate and “diva-like” behavior at the cable news network, and more than two months after he received backlash for a sexist statement he made on CNN This Morning in February.

Dayton Dealing With An Arsonist Who Is Burning Historical Monuments!

Dayton's iconic Traxler mansion gone.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was making such a fuss about New York City crime. However, in his state of Ohio, his district which includes parts of Columbus, there is high crime. In Dayton, a rust belt city that is represented by Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) and Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH), two historical buildings were torched. 

Coincidence or nah?

The very fact that two buildings with significant historical value were burned this year means that someone in the area is a serial arsonist. They decided to torch Dayton's historical monuments. 

I heard on the news that the Traxler mansion was burned to the ground. That building has been a staple of the Dayton View neighborhood for over 100 years. The mansion once held the Dayton Philharmonic performances in the past. It was an endangered preservation.

"We're heartbroken it was so close to being saved. For several years, PDI has been monitoring the building, getting it re-boarded, and ushering it through the tax foreclosure process. We had viable buyers lined up, and it was scheduled to be sold at sheriff's sale on May 4th," said Preservation Dayton.

Louis Traxler was born in Austria in 1864. The family moved to the United States in 1883. After a brief residence in Pennsylvania and Indiana, Traxler came to Dayton in 1899. He began his own mercantile business, which prospered and grew. Louis Traxler purchased the property in 1909. In 1911, the Traxler family moved into the large two-story stone house where they remained until 1929.

The house and property were sold to David Pickrell, Jr. in 1929. Pickrell was the owner of the Pickrell Plumbing Company and also the president of the North Dayton Savings Bank.

In 1932, the house was sold to Lillian Baker, whose husband, Frank R. Baker, was a salesman. Frank Baker later opened his own restaurant in downtown Dayton.

Wright Aviation Company was burned down.

During the war, the house was divided into apartments. In 1941, it became a boarding house and divided into 22 apartments. 

When the home was put up for auction in 1977, Dayton attorney Gerald Callahan bought it for $34,000 and restored it at a cost of $150,000. Callahan lived in the house for several years, but sold to Centerville physician Virginia Stull.

Stull then sold the property to Rev. William & Doris Moore in 1990, who have owned the property since that time.

The house was selected as a Dayton Philharmonic Show House in 1991, and was selected as one of Ohio's Most Endangered Properties by Preservation Ohio in 2019 and again in 2022.

This comes a month after an arsonist started fire to the Wright Aviation Factory in Dayton's Westwood neighborhood.

The Wright Company Factory was under development by its owner, the city of Dayton, and other groups that sought to preserve its history. The building complex includes two buildings that the Wright brothers erected in 1910 and 1911, which made up the first factory in the United States built for airplane manufacturing, as well as newer buildings.

Ignore The Polls!

Biden is running in 2024 but the noise wants someone else.

A lot is being said about the national polls and the 2024 U.S. elections and the mood of the American voters. I can truly say that Washed Up 45 will carry the white men vote and white woman vote. He is projected to get 65% of white men and 55% of white women.

Who President Joe Biden needs to win? ----- Black voters.

Black men will give Washed Up 45 at least 25% of the vote while Black women will give the former president only 6%.

Again, polls don't matter when you literally see American democracy on the verge of collapse.

Republicans have no real solutions to the country's problems. They have pivoted back to conspiracy theories, culture wars and selective memory.

No wonder NBC News is touting a bullshit poll about the president's pending announcement to seek a second term.

According to a new poll out Sunday from NBC News, 70 percent of Americans do not want Biden to run for a second term, compared to only 26 percent who do. Among those who don’t want the 80-year-old president to pursue a second term, 69 percent cite age as a reason why, with 48 percent calling it a “major” reason.

Worse yet for Biden, the new survey shows him facing a steep uphill climb in a general election. The NBC poll shows 41 percent of Americans plan to vote for Biden in 2024, compared to 47 percent who say they will back the Republican nominee.

If there is a silver lining to the dismal numbers for Biden, it’s that he is still more popular than his most likely 2024 opponent. In all, 38 percent have a positive view of Joe Biden, compared to 48 percent who have a negative view. And while those numbers might ordinarily spell doom for an incumbent seeking a second term, they are significantly better than those of Washed Up 45 — about whom just 34 percent of Americans hold a positive view, compared to 53 percent who have a negative view.

Biden should not take anything for granted. The Republicans are trying to muddy the waters by encouraging Republicans to vote in the Democratic primary for conspiracy theorist and far right agitator Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The black sheep of the Kennedy family announced he will run and the white extremists are promoting him.

Biden stated that he will lower the temperature in Washington. It is nearly impossible with Republicans vowing to oppose everything he supports.

The junk food media can't get enough of the former president. About 85% of cable news programming involve something that moron done. Mind you, I have talked about the former president which means he is getting shameless promotion.

This election will be about democracy. We are at the verge of a civil war.

Disgusting Y'all!

Washed Up 45 would give a half bitten slice of pizza to his goofy ass supporters.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) endorses Washed Up 45 for his 2024 bid for president. While in Fort Meyers, the former president made a stop at a pizzeria and offered his supporters a slice of a pizza he bitten off.

"Does anyone want a piece that I’ve eaten?" he said, adding that the slice is "good" as he placed the half-eaten slice back into the box to grab another one.

Washed Up 45 at the cash register of the local pizzeria, telling a crowd around him, "Enjoy the pizza, enjoy the pizza!"

He stopped by Downtown House of Pizza for a quick slice before leaving.

The former president is trying to starve off a potential challenge from Florida governor Ron DeSantis. The two are feuding as the 2024 Republican Party nomination race kicks off with Asa Hutchison and Larry Elder officially announcing they're forming presidential campaigns.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has also expressed interests.

In most polls, many Republicans see Washed Up 45 as their choice.

Florida, a state where Republicans see as a viable place to spread their hate.

The former president spoke at the Lee County Republicans conference. 

About 1/3 of U.S. House Republican members endorsed the former president. The ones who did not endorse him are likely going to face a primary challenge.

Donalds is one of five Black Republicans in Congress. He represents the 19th Congressional District of Florida. He is the most high profile member of the House. Donalds have no legislative accomplishments since joining Congress in 2021. He made the news earlier this year when Republicans endorsed him for House Speaker.

Donalds does have a somewhat friendly relationship with Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

Bowman is lawmaker with no legislative accomplishments as well. He and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) were outside their district to witness the Manhattan district attorney's indictment of Washed Up 45.

Alec Baldwin Walks!

Alec Baldwin will not be charged for murder.

The New Mexico state authorities have dropped the involuntary manslaughter charges against a high profile media personality. The state has considered other charges though.

But the most serious charges would have put him in the iron college for 25 years.

I guess the special prosecutor appearing on Fox kind of destroyed the case against actor Alec Baldwin.

Andrea Reeb's appearance on Sean "Softball" Hannity's shitshow may have tarnished the case. Her appearance was a gift to Baldwin's attorneys who said the charges were a political hit job. Baldwin is remorseful and was willing to settle with Halyna Hutchins' family. 

Baldwin has lost endorsement deals had two shows canceled and his podcast is  ending soon. He has been low key on social media. Even a former ally is working on behalf of Hutchins' family to sue him.

Some "new facts were revealed that demand further investigation and forensic analysis cannot be completed before" a schedule preliminary hearing on May 3," according to a filing by special prosecutors Jason Lewis and Mari Morrissey.

The brief filing did not state what "new facts" prompted the case to be pulled.

Halyna Hutchins.

Prosecutors had the case dismissed "without prejudice," meaning any new evidence could prompt them to re-file charges.

Even if the Baldwin is never held accountable in a criminal trial, attorney Gloria Allred, representing loved ones of Hutchins, said their civil complaint against the actor will continue.

"Despite the prosecutor’s decision to dismiss the criminal charge against Alec Baldwin without prejudice, the victims of Alec Baldwin that we represent remain hopeful," Allred said in a statement on Friday. "Mr. Baldwin has tried to dismiss our civil case against him, and he has failed."

Allred added: "He has even sunk so low as to attack Halyna Hutchins’ grieving mother, father, and sister for seeking to make him accountable for his part in the death of Halyna Hutchins."

While Baldwin appears to be off the hook for criminal charges, his former co-defendant Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the "Rust" set's armorer, is still being prosecuted. She's accused of involuntary manslaughter and her preliminary hearing was set Friday for Aug. 9.

Meanwhile, filming of "Rust" continued Friday in Montana.

"Though bittersweet, I am grateful that a brilliant and dedicated new production team is joining former cast and crew to complete what Halyna and I started," director Joel Souza, who was wounded in the 2021 shooting, said in a statement issued by "Rust" producers.

"My every effort on this film will be devoted to honoring Halyna’s legacy and making her proud."

Producers have said they are barring any working weapons and ammunition on the set.

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

Emotional Alec Baldwin.

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.

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.

Conservatives are outraged that Alec Baldwin walks.

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).

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

Duchess Meghan Had Her Reasons!

This is what racist Brits and Americans think of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.

Trigger warning: Offensive caricature of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I do not endorse or condone the imagery. I am using this image for commentary. I am supportive of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, Vice President Kamala Harris, former president Barack Obama and wife Michelle and people of color.

The American and British junk food media can't stop basing their lives off of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are constantly in the mouths of some of Britain's most controversial media agitators.

The junk food media in the United Kingdom are preparing for King Charles III's coronation. The coronation is expected to cost taxpayers millions. 

As he prepares for his royal swearing in, it is confirmed that the prince will attend the event but the duchess will stay in the U.S. with her son Archie and daughter Lilibit. The duchess will plan for their son's birthday which is on the day of the coronation.

But regardless of what decision was made, the British tabloids had criticized her.

What makes me so mad about the American and British press?

It is the constant disrespect towards Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.

For one thing, I will not call her Meghan Markle. That is disrespectful towards her given title. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex is how I respond to her.

I also refuse to do this compare and contrast noise when it comes to Meghan and Princess Catherine. I don't call her Kate Middleton or Kate. Her title is Princess of Wales. 

A lot has been said of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The bitterness may have started from negative and possibly racist conversations between Prince William and Meghan.

Also there's allegations from Princess Anne criticizing the skin color of their children.

The British junk food media hires body language experts to discuss noise about divorce and how their marriage is destroying Britain. It is just constant noise from these idiots who based their sad lives off of the lives of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.

Prince Harry is very protective of Meghan.

The Telegraph released a private letter written by the duchess informing the king (then prince) of the allegations of racism. He apparently dismissed it. He thought of it as a simple misunderstanding.

King Charles III is not a popular royal. He waited for over 70 years to at least get the opportunity to be called "Your Highness." His affairs on Princess Diana, the silence on racism, the refusal to apologize for slavery and the tone deaf spending while Brits are suffering will be on his watch. 

His reign will not be long. Give it about 10 years. By that time, in at least six years Brits will vote on ending the monarchy.

So there you have it.

It is probably why nations with non-white majorities under the crown are trying to separate and become independent. Jamaica, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, 

The Bahamas, St. Kitts and Nevis and even Australia are looking towards removing royal sovereignty.

There are 14 countries outside of the United Kingdom where the King is head of state: Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Tuvalu. In these countries, known as Commonwealth realms, the queen appoints a representative—such as a governor general—recommended by the popularly elected leader, such as the prime minister or president. 

Scotland and Northern Ireland are also considering removal. Scotland wants to become an independent country and not a English country. Northern Ireland wants to be reunified with the Republic of Ireland.

Meghan made the right decision to not attend the coronation. It stares off the noise the junk food media would have created based off one minor issue.

SCOTUS Keeps Mifepristone On The Shelves!

These people decide the fate of our country. Six of them are raging lunatics.

Okay, the U.S. Supreme Court kept a decision from a district judge in Washington (state) to keep the medical drug mifepristone available to women for now. It bats down a Washed Up 45 judge who far right extremists seek decision on.

It was a 7-2 decision with all three of Washed Up 45's Supreme Court justices siding with Chief Justice John Roberts and the three ladies of the progressive wing.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Kentaji Brown Jackson, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh as well as Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the U.S. Justice Department and Health amd Human Services.

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito were the two who sided with the Texas federal judge who ordered an all out stop of mifepristone.

On Friday, the court preserved women’s access to a drug used in the most common method of abortion, rejecting lower-court restrictions while a lawsuit continues.

The justices granted emergency requests from the Biden administration and New York-based Danco Laboratories, maker of the drug mifepristone. They are appealing a lower court ruling that would roll back Food and Drug Administration approval of mifepristone.

The drug has been approved for use in the U.S. since 2000 and more than 5 million people have used it. Mifepristone is used in combination with a second drug, misoprostol, in more than half of all abortions in the U.S.

The court’s action Friday almost certainly will leave access to mifepristone unchanged at least into next year, as appeals play out, including a potential appeal to the high court. The next stop for the case is at the New Orleans-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which has set arguments in the case for May 17.

President Joe Biden praised the high court for keeping mifepristone available while the court fight continues.

“The stakes could not be higher for women across America. I will continue to fight politically-driven attacks on women’s health. But let’s be clear — the American people must continue to use their vote as their voice, and elect a Congress who will pass a law restoring the protections of Roe v. Wade,” Biden said in a statement.

Mifepristone will be available on the shelves.

Alliance Defending Freedom, representing abortion opponents challenging the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, downplayed the court’s action.

“As is common practice, the Supreme Court has decided to maintain the status quo that existed prior to our lawsuit while our challenge to the FDA’s illegal approval of chemical abortion drugs and its removal of critical safeguards for those drugs moves forward,” ADF lawyer Erik Baptist said in a statement.

The justices weighed arguments that allowing restrictions contained in lower-court rulings to take effect would severely disrupt the availability of mifepristone.

The Supreme Court had initially said it would decide by Wednesday whether the restrictions could take effect while the case continues. A one-sentence order signed by Alito on Wednesday gave the justices two additional days, without explanation.

The challenge to mifepristone is the first abortion controversy to reach the nation’s highest court since its conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade 10 months ago and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright.

In his majority opinion last June, Alito said one reason for overturning Roe was to remove federal courts from the abortion fight. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” he wrote.

But even with their court victory, abortion opponents returned to federal court with a new target: medication abortions, which make up more than half of all abortions in the United States.

Women seeking to end their pregnancies in the first 10 weeks without more invasive surgical abortion can take mifepristone, along with misoprostol. The FDA has eased the terms of mifepristone’s use over the years, including allowing it to be sent through the mail in states that allow access.

The abortion opponents filed suit in Texas in November, asserting that the FDA’s original approval of mifepristone 23 years ago and subsequent changes were flawed.

They won a ruling on April 7 by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, an appointee of former Washed Up 45 revoking FDA approval of mifepristone. The judge gave the Biden administration and Danco Laboratories a week to appeal and seek to keep his ruling on hold.

Responding to a quick appeal, two more Washed Up 45 appointees on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the FDA’s original approval would stand for now. But Judges Andrew Oldham and Kurt Engelhardt said most of the rest of Kacsmaryk’s ruling could take effect while the case winds through federal courts.

Their ruling would have effectively nullified changes made by the FDA starting in 2016, including extending from seven to 10 weeks of pregnancy when mifepristone can be safely used. The court also would have halted sending the drug in the mail or dispensing it as a generic, and patients who seek it would have had to make three in-person visits with a doctor. Women also might have been required to take a higher dosage of the drug than the FDA says is necessary.

Douchebag federal judge's decision overturned.

The administration and Danco have said that chaos would ensue if those restrictions were to take effect while the case proceeds. Potentially adding to the confusion, a federal judge in Washington has ordered the FDA to preserve access to mifepristone under the current rules in 17 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia that filed a separate lawsuit.

The Biden administration has said the rulings conflict and create an untenable situation for the FDA.

Alito questioned the argument that chaos would result, saying the administration “has not dispelled doubts that it would even obey an unfavorable order in these cases.”

And a new legal wrinkle threatened even more complications. GenBioPro, which makes the generic version of mifepristone, filed a lawsuit Wednesday to preemptively block the FDA from removing its drug from the market, in the event that the Supreme Court doesn’t intervene.

The Supreme Court was only being asked to block the lower-court rulings through the end of the legal case.

The appeals court has sped up its review, but there is no timetable for a ruling.

Any appeal to the Supreme Court would follow within three months of a ruling, but with no deadline for the justices to decide whether to review the case.

Daunte Wright's Killer Out Soon!

Ex-cop who killed Daunte Wright on her way out.

Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center Police officer who shot Daunte Wright after she thought she reached for a Taser is out of the iron college after spending nearly 16 months of the two year sentence. A routine traffic stop led to a confrontation and a firearm being fired into Daunte and a car crash. 

A cop crying trying to get her story right. A man lying in a pool of blood and no aid rendered. Reckless on the cop and the city of Brooklyn Center.

Potter got off a charge that many others would have served at least 10 years or longer.

The city of Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis had to pay nearly $4 million to Daunte's family.

He leaves behind a four year old son. Katie Wright, Daunte's mother is vowing to make sure Potter never gets a job as a cop ever again. She also wants the dirty ex-cop to face federal charges which is still being discussed. 

Alayna Albrecht-Payton, the passenger and girlfriend of Daunte is also suing Potter.

Potter shot Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist, during a traffic stop on April 11, 2021. She said she meant to use her Taser, not her gun, but shot him once in the chest. She was found guilty of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter on Dec. 23, after roughly four days of jury deliberation.

During her trial, the prosecution argued Wright's death was caused by Potter's recklessness, and said Potter put her police partners in danger by shooting into a vehicle. The defense insisted that Wright caused a chaotic struggle that led to his own death.

White tears spared ex-cop a 10 year bid for killing Daunte Wright.

The death of another Black man at the hands of a white officer reignited the call for police accountability and racial justice in Minnesota and across the country at a time when, just miles away, Derek Chauvin was on trial for the murder of George Floyd.

In the days following Wright's death, dozens were arrested as protesters clashed with police in Brooklyn Center, and the city passed a sweeping public safety resolution, though parts of the proposal have yet to be implemented.

By Minnesota law, Potter was sentenced only on the higher charge of first-degree manslaughter. The maximum charge is 15 years, but for someone with no criminal history like Potter, guidelines range from between six and eight-and-a-half years.

Prosecutors initially outlined aggravating factors in Blakely filings, which would have allowed Potter to serve a higher sentence, but said in court Friday that the presumptive sentence would be appropriate.
