Here Comes The Migrant Caravans!

The far right hate migrants.

You can't have it both ways!

The far right were upset over the pandemic restrictions and wanted it to end. Well, it appears that Title 42 is ending. It was a health emergency imposed by Washed Up 45 during the coronavirus pandemic. It kept asylum seekers out of the country. It ended on Thursday and those leaving countries of violence are seeking asylum,

The Republicans are saying the migrants are threatening the "way of life."

The far right and those liars on Fox are stroking up the "migrant caravans" again.

Stories from Fox claiming that migrants are ordering DoorDash is an example of the fearmongering and racism that exists on that network.

Last time I've checked, DoorDash is available in many countries including Mexico.

Anyway, people seeking refuge in the United States are being vilified by Republicans, some Democrats and the junk food media. Texas Republican governor Greg Abbott once again sent three charter buses to Washington, DC to drop off migrants near Vice President Kamala Harris' home at the Naval Observatory. 

His latest stunt is prime example of how white extremists are reacting to a browner America.

Republicans have no solutions to solving the immigration issue. All they got is basically reactionary responses to problems that are being solved. They seized drugs and detained migrants with criminal history. They treat it like it is a bad thing.

They are claiming the U.S.-Mexican border isn't safe. 

Okay, traveling across the Rio Grande River, walking into the deserts of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, swimming in shark and jellyfish waters of the Pacific Ocean, facing the threats of wolves, coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, bears, alligators and crocodiles, the heat, the cold and possible gang violence.... not safe.

The U.S. Border Patrol is understaffed. No one wants to work for less than $45,000 and work a job that requires 24/7 work especially on holidays. Overtime could impact bodies and mental health. They are not robots and they have to sleep, eat and maintain a life.

The Congress can't pass a budget that staffs the border. They refuse to pass immigration reform which streamlines migrants for temporary asylum and eventually an opportunity to become U.S. citizens.

The National Border Patrol Council, a union organization that supported Washed Up 45 in 2016 and 2020 were pissed that Title 42 expired. The union boss is blaming President Joe Biden for the invasion.

“This is by far the worst sustained disaster that any BP agent, active or retired, has ever seen at our border,” the service’s official union tweeted just before Title 42 ended at midnight.

“And one man is responsible for every single bit of it, with the worst still to come,” the NBPC wrote alongside a photo of a smiling Biden.

“The Biden Administration is absolutely corrupt to its core,” the union alleged.

Again fearmongering with words like invasion.

This type of stuff led to a man intentionally running over migrants in Brownsville.

The type of stuff that led a man commit a mass shooting in an El Paso Walmart in 2019.

The type of stuff that led to a man who shot innocent shoppers at an outlet mall in Allen.

In general, illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America come to the U.S. as they flee from insecurity and violence in their own country (i.e. forced recruitment in gangs). or in search for better economic opportunities. However, it sometimes also occurs due to political oppression.

From Asia, they come for economic reasons but some come involuntarily as sex slaves or indentured servants.

From Sub-Saharan Africa, the majority come for economic activities. 

From Eastern Europe, they primarily come for economic activities and to rejoin family already in the United States. Like other regions, there are also some who come involuntarily as part of the sex industry.

The disease of White supremacy exists in the U.S., Canada, Norway, Sweden, Great Britain, Russia, France, Greece, Germany, Italy and Belgium. They are being radicalized by far right noise on many media platforms. It's dangerous to everyone.

People of color, migrants, those in the LGBTQ community and women are under attack.

The Republicans are feeding off extremism and relish in stroking violence.

Actions have consequences.

Cue the outrage from the extremes. White conservatives do not value life. For them, every Black criminal should be in the iron college or dead if they commit a crime. They are often upset that the white "do good" person is charged with a crime.

They are going batshit crazy over the fact that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is currently seeking an indictment of a man who ended up killing another man on the New York City Subway.

The suspect claimed that he was defending himself. His attorney tried to place the blame on the victim by stating his past encounters with police. The suspect never knew the victim. Witnesses even told the suspect that was going to kill him.

Fox and the far right are trying to justify the actions of the suspect by saying he is a Marine. No one seems to know if the suspect had any criminal history prior to the encounter. No one seems to care if the Marine had mental issues or a violent history.

All we know is that the victim was mentally ill, had run ins with the law, homeless and a Michael Jackson impersonator. All the ingredients of making the Black victim the subject not the white suspect.

Daniel Penny turned himself in to New York City police on Friday to face criminal charges in connection with the chokehold death of Jordan Neely aboard a subway train.

Penny was seen walking in to the New York City Police Department's 5th Precinct in Chinatown shortly after 8 a.m. ET. He did not address the media outside, though his lawyer, Tom Kenniff, spoke briefly to reporters.

"Turned himself in here voluntarily and with the sort of dignity and integrity that is characteristic of his dignity of service to this grateful nation," Kenniff said. "The case will now go to court we expect an arraignment this afternoon. The process will unfold from there."

Penny's surrender came one day after the Manhattan District Attorney's Office confirmed that he would be arrested on a charge of second-degree manslaughter.

Neely died following a chokehold on May 1. Video showed Penny, a U.S. Marine veteran, putting Neely in a chokehold following outbursts from Neely on an F train.

Attorneys for Penny said in a statement Thursday night that they are confident that "once all the facts and circumstances surrounding this tragic incident are brought to bear, Mr. Penny will be fully absolved of any wrongdoing."

"When Mr. Penny, a decorated Marine veteran, stepped in to protect himself and his fellow New Yorkers, his well-being was not assured. He risked his own life and safety, for the good of his fellow passengers," said the statement from the law firm of Raiser and Kenniff. "The unfortunate result was the unintended and unforeseen death of Mr. Neely."

Neely was homeless at the time of his death. Some witnesses reportedly told police that Neely was yelling and harassing passengers on the train, authorities said.

Police sources told ABC News that Penny was not specifically being threatened by Neely when he intervened and that Neely had not become violent and had not been threatening anyone in particular.

In an earlier statement, Penny's attorneys offered "condolences to those close to Mr. Neely" and claimed "Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel," and that the Marine veteran and others "acted to protect themselves."

"Mr. Neely had a documented history of violent and erratic behavior, the apparent result of ongoing and untreated mental illness," said the statement from the law firm of Raiser and Kenniff. "When Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and the other passengers, Daniel, with the help of others, acted to protect themselves, until help arrived. Daniel never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death."

In footage of the incident, Penny can be seen holding Neely in a chokehold for nearly 3 minutes, as another man held down Neely's body.

The Neely family attorneys criticized Penny's response.

"The truth is, he knew nothing about Jordan's history when he intentionally wrapped his arms around Jordan's neck, and squeezed and kept squeezing," the Neely family attorneys said in a statement.

"Daniel Penny's press release is not an apology nor an expression of regret. It is a character assassination, and a clear example of why he believed he was entitled to take Jordan's life," the statement from attorneys Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards continued.

Neely's death following the chokehold has been ruled a homicide by the city's medical examiner's office.

Penny, 24, was questioned by detectives and released, according to police. He told police he was not trying to kill Neely.

According to police sources, Neely had a documented mental health history. Neely had been previously arrested for several incidents on the subway, though it's unclear how many, if any, led to convictions.

The Manhattan DA's office spent the weekend and much of this week interviewing and going over the accounts of witnesses who were on the train, as well as reviewing multiple videos of the incident. Prosecutors also consulted with the medical examiner's office and detectives, and reviewed statements Penny made to detectives on the night of the incident.

The district attorney's office decided to move forward with charges without first going to a grand jury.

A grand jury will still hear evidence in the case, which will occur in the week following his arraignment.

The maximum penalty for second-degree manslaughter is 15 years. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Twitter's Stench Of Musk!

Let that sink in.

Wall Street Journal reporting that the controversial billionaire Elon Musk is stepping down as CEO of Twitter. He will appoint a possible mistress as the new head of the struggling social media platform. Linda Yaccarino, head of advertising at NBCUniversal is the replacement.

Musk, who bought Twitter last fall and has been running it since, has long insisted he is not the company’s permanent CEO. The Tesla billionaire said in a tweet Thursday that his role will transition to being Twitter’s executive chairman and chief technology officer.

In mid-November, just a few weeks after buying the social media platform for $44 billion, he told a Delaware court that he does not want to be the CEO of any company.

While testifying, Musk said “I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time.”

More than a month later, he tweeted in December: “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job.” The pledge came after millions of Twitter users asked him to step down in a Twitter poll the billionaire himself created and promised to abide by.

In February, he told a conference he anticipated finding a CEO for San Francisco-based Twitter “probably toward the end of this year.”

Analysts who follow Twitter’s business welcomed the news even without knowing who the replacement will be. Twitter’s advertising business has taken a hit under Musk’s mercurial rule, though the billionaire told BBC last month that the company is now “roughly” breaking even.

Linda Yaccarino with Miley Cyrus.

“A new CEO is the only way forward for Twitter,” said Insider Intelligence analyst Jasmine Enberg. “The single biggest problem with Twitter’s ad business was Elon Musk. As he steps back, Twitter can begin to unravel Musk’s personal brand from the company’s corporate image and attempt to regain trust among advertisers. The success of those efforts will depend on who takes over, but it’s difficult to imagine that the new CEO could be more controversial or damaging to Twitter’s ad business than Musk has been.”

Shares of Tesla rose about 2% Thursday after Musk made the announcement. Shareholders of the electric car company have been concerned about how much of his attention is being spent on Twitter.

Last November, he was questioned in court about how he splits his time among Tesla and his other companies, including SpaceX and Twitter. Musk had to testify in the trial in Delaware’s Court of Chancery over a shareholder’s challenge to his potentially $55 billion compensation plan as CEO of the electric car company.

Musk said he never intended to be CEO of Tesla, and that he didn’t want to be chief executive of any other companies either, preferring to see himself as an engineer. Musk also said at the time that he expected an organizational restructuring of Twitter to be completed in the next week or so. It’s been nearly six months since he said that.

Musk’s tenure at Twitter’s helm has been chaotic, and he’s made various promises and proclamations he’s backtracked or never followed up on. He began his first day firing the company’s top executives, followed by roughly 80% of its staff. He’s upended the platform’s verification system and has scaled back content moderation and safeguards against the spread of misinformation.

Bantering with Twitter followers late last year, Musk expressed pessimism about the prospects for a new CEO, saying that person “must like pain a lot” to run a company that “has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy.”

“No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,” Musk tweeted at the time.

Rashida Tlaib: We Honor Nakba!

Kevin McCarthy threatens punishment for Rashida Tlaib if she criticizes Israel.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is a Palestinian American lawmaker who is a Sunni Muslim. 

She, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are practicing Muslims. They are vilified by the far right Republicans and some Democrats over their opposition towards funding Israeli interests.

She represents Michigan's 12th Congressional District which covers Detroit and most of Wayne County and part of McComb County. She is part of The Squad. She is an ineffective lawmaker. However, she isn't insufferable like Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) or Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

The propaganda wars.

Israel is a neo fascist country. They are masquerading as a legitimate democracy when its prime minister and his far right coalition are trying to eliminate the federal courts, outlaw integration, outlaw non white Jews, non white immigrants, make it a religious theocracy and eliminate the other. They are trying to destroy democracy and wipe out the Palestinians who live in Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights.

The U.S. funds its defense operations and they use it in a brutal almost criminal assault on those living in Palestine. The Palestinians have no military equipment or the technology. Whenever Israel strikes, they hit residential and urban centers. They claim they are killing "militants" and those who were injured are used as shields. Israel claims the world hates them and they must defend themselves.

At its founding, the Israeli Zionists brutally forced out Palestinians and demolished their homes, schools and businesses. This continues as we speak. The U.S. and many Western nations look the other way.

Whenever the United Nations intervenes with investigations into war crimes, immoral dehumanization and violations of sovereignty, the U.S., United Kingdom and France block the notions.

Israeli propaganda has Americans believing criticism of its actions is anti-semitic. 

Tlaib has descendants who lived in the West Bank. She honors their memory. She wanted to host a Nakba. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) denied it. Under the influence of AIPAC, the ADL and far right Jewish organizations, McCarthy has stated that honoring Nakba is equal to promoting terrorism.

Islamophobia folks. 

According to the Republicans and some Democrats, supporting Palestine, supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, criticizing AIPAC and the Israeli government, you're promoting hate against the Jews and are anti-semitic.

Israel forced Palestinian people from their homes.

Several states can pull government contracts and allow employers to fire you if you dare criticize Israel.

As explained, al-Nakba, or “the catastrophe,” as many Arabs refer to the period surrounding the birth of Israel, saying it’s “wrong for members of Congress to traffic in antisemitic tropes about Israel.”

As Israel was created in 1948, a war broke out between the Israelis and Arabs, and some 700,000 Palestinians either fled or were expelled from their homes in what became the State of Israel. Many Arabs, especially Palestinians, commemorate the displacement every year as Nakba Day.

McCarthy intervened late Tuesday to reserve the Capitol Visitor Center space where Tlaib – the first Palestinian-American US congresswoman – was going to host a Wednesday event, according to a spokesperson for McCarthy.

Tlaib responded in a statement, saying, “Speaker McCarthy wants to rewrite history and erase the existence and truth of the Palestinian people, but he has failed to do so. This event is planned to bring awareness about the Nakba and create space for Palestinian Americans who experienced the Nakba firsthand to tell their stories of trauma and survival.”

“We fully plan on moving forward with this event and we will continue to ensure that Palestinian voices are heard. We will not be silenced,” Tlaib said in the statement.

McCarthy is an Islamophobe. He promotes white nationalist propaganda.

The event was ultimately held at the Dirksen Senate building, just not on the House side as originally planned, and due to the last-minute location change, staff said they couldn’t secure permits to allow filming.

Dozens of people attended with several standing around the edges of the room and spilling outside the door.

Speakers included Dr. Abed Musa in conversation with his daughter, Jumana Musa.

“It’s ironic we’ve been displaced at our Nakba event,” Jumana Musa said. “They thought they could bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” One woman was seen wiping tears from her eyes, as Abed Musa spoke.

Tlaib’s event was called “Nakba 75 & the Palestinian People, an educational community event featuring special guest, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.”

According to the invitation, “May 15th marks 75 years since the beginning of the Nakba, which means ‘catastrophe.’ Seventy-five years ago, Zionist militias and the new Israeli military violently expelled approximately three-quarters of all Palestinians from their homes and homeland in what became the state of Israel.”

“To uplift the experiences of Palestinians who underwent the Nakba, and educate Members of Congress and their staff about this history and the ongoing Nakba to which Israel continues to subject Palestinians, we’ve partnered together to host this congressional and community educational event, to be followed immediately afterward by dinner,” the invite says.

McCarthy would instead lead a bipartisan briefing celebrating the 75th anniversary of the US-Israel relationship instead, his office said.

“It’s wrong for members of Congress to traffic in antisemitic tropes about Israel,” McCarthy said in a statement to CNN from his office. “As long as I’m speaker, we are going to support Israel’s right to self-determination and self-defense, unequivocally and in a bipartisan fashion.”

The event was organized by a number of groups, including Institute for Middle East Understanding, Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, Project48, Democracy for the Arab World Now, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, American Friends Service Committee, Virginia Coalition for Human Rights, Emgage Action and Jewish Voice for Peace Action.

Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, praised McCarthy’s decision to cancel the event, saying it was “inappropriate.”

“I think Congresswoman Tlaib has freedom of speech, First Amendment, but the speech is very anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, and I think very inappropriate on the 75th anniversary of the State of Israel being formed,” he said outside a Republican conference meeting.

CNN's Noise Pollution: Washed Up 45 Held A Town Hall!

CNN allowed itself the opportunity to be called fake news by the guy who demonized it.

Kaitlin Collins may want to rethink her conservative credentials after being called a "nasty woman" by the 45th President of the United States. 

Collins was in New Hampshire with the former president and as expected, he is still stuck on stupid. Mind you, we underestimated him in 2016. We cannot allow this man back in the White House.

CNN hosted this town hall with Washed Up 45. Straight out the gate, he claimed the 2020 election was rigged. He kept interrupting Collins. He barely answered questions from those in the audience. He did get a couple of chuckles when it came to horrific things.

Took aim at President Joe Biden, former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, E. Jean Carroll, Hillary Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser and CNN.

He made a promise to pardon those involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

He called E. Jean Carroll a "wack job." He made a claim that Carroll called her husband (a Black man) an ape and named her cat vagina.

He said that rioter Ashley Babbitt was killed by a thug. He was attacking Lt. Michael Byrd, the police officer who protected the bubble. Babbitt was shot after she tried to squeeze through the bubble.

Washed Up 45 also claimed that he had the right to keep classified documents. He claimed that Mar a Lago was raided. He claimed that Biden did not get his house raided.

He made the claim that Hillary Clinton and Democrats want to kill babies. He praised the Supreme Court decision to repeal Roe v. Wade. He stopped short of supporting a national ban on abortion. He also said he will not impose any regulations on firearms despite gun violence being the biggest issue happening right now.

He also called the border a disgrace. The former president was bitching about the border and claiming that Biden is allowing Title 42 to expire.

He also claimed that he can solve the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 24 hours. He did not say how he would handle Ukraine's request for weapons or call Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin a war criminal.

CNN allowed this horrible human being to be himself. It was a train wreck.

Serving A Federal Sandwich To George Santos!

A web of lies.

New York's most controversial lawmaker has a federal sandwich handed to him.

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) who faced outrage and mockery over a litany of fabrications about his heritage, education and professional pedigree, has been charged with federal criminal offenses, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The charges against Santos, filed in the Eastern District of New York. He faces 13 count indictment. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The people could not publicly discuss specific details of the case until it is unsealed and spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity. The unsealing would happen when Santos appears in court, which could come as soon as Wednesday.

Santos officially surrendered and was charged with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.

Reached on Tuesday, Santos said, “This is news to me.”

“You’re the first to call me about this,” he said in a brief phone interview.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment. The charges were first reported by CNN.

The New York Republican has admitted to lying about having Jewish ancestry, a Wall Street background, college degrees and a history as a star volleyball player. Serious questions about his finances also surfaced — including the source of what he claimed was a quickly amassed fortune despite recent financial problems, including evictions and owing thousands of dollars in back rent.

Santos has resisted calls to resign and recently announced he was running for reelection. He said his lies about his life story, which included telling people he had jobs at several global financial firms and a lavish real estate portfolio, were harmless embellishments of his resume.

Pressure on him to quit, though, has been intense. Reporters and members of the public hounded him. He was mocked on social media and late-night television. Fellow New York Republicans demanded he resign, saying he had betrayed voters and his own party with his lies.

Nassau County prosecutors and the New York attorney general’s office had previously said they were looking into possible violations of the law.

Besides questions about his life story, Santos’ campaign spending stoked scrutiny because of unusual payments for travel, lodging and other items.

The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center lodged a complaint with the Federal Election Commission and urged regulators to investigate Santos. The “mountain of lies” Santos propagated during the campaign about his life story and qualifications, the center said, should prompt the commission to “thoroughly investigate what appear to be equally brazen lies about how his campaign raised and spent money.”

In his filings with the FEC, Santos initially said he loaned his campaign and related political action committees more than $750,000 — money he claimed came from a family company.

Yet, the wealth necessary to make those loans seems to have emerged from nowhere. In a financial disclosure statement filed with the clerk of the U.S. House in 2020, Santos said he had no assets and an annual income of $55,000.

His company, the Devolder Organization, wasn’t incorporated until spring 2021. Yet last September, Santos filed another financial disclosure form reporting that this new company, incorporated in Florida, had paid him a $750,000 salary in each of the last two years, plus another $1 million to $5 million in dividends. In one interview, Santos described the Devolder Organization as a business that helped rich people buy things like yachts and aircraft.

Court records indicate Santos was the subject of three eviction proceedings in Queens between 2014 and 2017 because of unpaid rent.

Some Republicans, including those in his district, have sharply castigated Santos for his dishonesty. The Nassau County Republican Committee, which had supported his candidacy, said it would not support Santos for reelection.

Santos lost his first race for Congress in 2020 but ran again in 2022 and won in a district that is in the suburbs of Long Island and a sliver of Queens.

A local newspaper, the North Shore Leader, had raised issues about Santos’ background before the election but it was not until a few weeks after the election that the depth of his duplicity became public.

The New York Times reported that companies where Santos claimed to have worked, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, had no record of him having been an employee. Baruch College, where Santos claimed to have gotten a degree in finance and economics, said he hadn’t been a student.

Beyond his resume, Santos invented a life story that has also come under question, including claims that his grandparents “fled Jewish persecution in Ukraine, settled in Belgium, and again fled persecution during WWII.”

During his campaign, he referred to himself as “a proud American Jew.”

Confronted with questions about that story, Santos, a Roman Catholic, said he never intended to claim Jewish heritage.

The Times also uncovered records in Brazil that show Santos, when he was 19, was the subject of a criminal investigation there in 2008 over allegations he used stolen checks to buy items at a clothing shop in the city of Niteroi, which is near Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian authorities said they have reopened the case.

The Republican frontrunner is a sexual predator.

Will this judgment change the support of the former president?

His die hard supporters are likely not going to stop supporting him. They already assume that this was a George Soros setup and they want President Joe Biden to face his alleged accuser, Russian propagandist Tara Reade.

Well a federal jury has found Washed Up 45 liable for sexual abuse and defamation of E. Jean Carroll. It was a unanimous decision that could shape the townhall CNN is proposing on Wednesday.

The former president refused to take the stand and left the handling with his lawyer Joe Tacopina. Had he had an opportunity to take the stand he would have faced Carroll and deny the allegations of sexual assault.

This decision will cost the former president a lot of money.

The jury awarded her $5 million in damages for her battery and defamation claims.

Asked on its verdict sheet whether Carroll, 79, had proven “by a preponderance of the evidence” that “Mr. Trump raped Ms. Carroll,” the nine-person jury checked the box that said “no.” Asked whether Carroll had proven “by a preponderance of the evidence” that “Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms. Carroll,” the jury checked the box that said “yes.” Both allegations were elements of Carroll’s battery claim.

The six men and three women also found the former president had defamed Carroll by calling her claims a “hoax” and a “con job.”

The jury deliberated for only about three hours. It awarded Carroll just over $2 million on the battery claim and just under $3 million on the defamation claims.

“I filed this lawsuit against Donald Trump to clear my name and to get my life back. Today, the world finally knows the truth,” Carroll said in a statement Tuesday. She didn’t speak to reporters outside the courthouse.

In a separate statement, her lawyer Roberta Kaplan said: “No one is above the law, not even a former President of the United States. We are so thrilled that the jury agreed."

Washed Up 45, a 2024 presidential candidate, has consistently denied Carroll’s claims. He blasted the verdict on his social media website shortly after the verdict was handed down.

"I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE — A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!" he wrote on Truth Social.

A Washed Up 45 campaign spokesman said in a statement, "Make no mistake, this entire bogus case is a political endeavor targeting President Trump because he is now an overwhelming front-runner to be once again elected President of the United States."

"This case will be appealed, and we will ultimately win," the statement said.

E. Jean Carroll gets her dues.

The verdict marks the first time a former president has been found civilly liable for sexual misconduct.

Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson, a Washed Up 45 critic, said, "The jury verdict should be treated with seriousness and is another example of the indefensible behavior of Donald Trump."

Carroll sued in Manhattan federal court last year, alleging the former president raped her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store near his Fifth Avenue home in 1995 or 1996. She first went public with the claim in 2019 in her book “What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal.”

The verdict carries no criminal implications. The legal standard for liability in the civil case — the preponderance of the evidence — wasn’t as high as in criminal cases. The civil benchmark is that it is more likely than not that something occurred, while the standard for convictions in criminal cases is proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Washed Up 45, first as president and then as a private citizen, called Carroll’s account a fiction that she concocted to boost book sales, and he has said she is “not my type.” He didn’t testify at the trial, but parts of his video deposition from October were played for the jury.

The verdict was required to be unanimous.

Carroll was her own star witness at the trial, which began April 25. “I’m here because Trump raped me,” she told jurors during her three days on the witness stand.

Carroll said she'd met the former president once before, in the late 1980s, before she bumped into him at the entrance of the department store near the former president’s home and office in Trump Tower.

Carroll, who was an advice columnist for Elle magazine at the time, said the former president told her he was shopping for a lady friend and invited her to come along. “He was very personable,” she said.

She said she'd had a fun time chatting with him as the excursion eventually led to the sixth-floor lingerie department. “He was joshing and pleasant and very funny,” she said, and they each joked about trying on lingerie.

Carroll alleged that the former  president motioned her toward the dressing room and that when she went in, he “shut the door and shoved me against the wall” and raped her. “I couldn’t see anything was happening, but I could certainly feel that pain,” she said, alleging the attack lasted a “few minutes” before she was able to flee.

Carroll said that she called a friend, writer Lisa Birnbach, afterward to tell her what had happened and that Birnbach told her to call the police. Carroll said she told her “no way,” because she blamed herself for the attack.

Carroll also said that she told another friend, Carol Martin, what happened days later and that Martin urged her not to go to the police for fear Washed Up 45 and his lawyers would “bury her.”

Birnbach and Martin both testified in Carroll’s behalf and supported her account.

The Right Dismiss The Allen Shooter Was A Nazi!

The terrorist was hoping to kill more.

The Blame Game.

In Allen, Texas, the names of the victims were released. The victims names were:

Daniela Mendoza and Sofia Mendoza. Two little girls who were shopping with their parents.

James Cho, and his parents, Cindy and Kyu. The surviving child lost his parents and brother.

John Jun. A local leader for the Korean American Coalition of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Christian LaCour. The security guard on duty who was ambushed.

Aishwarya Thatikonda. A young woman from India who was shopping.

Nine people died, including the shooter, and seven others were injured, with three in critical condition. Of the eight victims, three were Korean Americans from the same family (including a child), and one was an engineer from India. Medical City Healthcare said that it was treating victims ranging from 5 to 61 years old, with most of the victims being transported to Medical City's McKinney facility.

The shooter was a 30 something incel who had idolized Neo Nazis and white supremacy.

The shooter was Hispanic (identified as White). The far right dismissed it as a false flag and throw out the claim that people of color can't be Nazis?

Ask Ye.

Elon Musk, owner of Twitter decided to follow the conspiracy trail by responding to a right wing troll's claim that the terrorist was not actually a Nazi and pictures of his tattoos were photoshopped.

Insufferable lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) believes it is the fault of the current president and his love for illegal immigrants.

Anyway, Saturday's mass shooting and Sunday's vehicle incident where a motorist intentionally struck seven migrants waiting at a bus stop in Brownsville. 

Guess what the Republicans and far right agitators talking about?

The victims were identified.

The border. 

Title 42, public health order by Washed Up 45 during  the coronavirus virus pandemic is expiring on Thursday. Conservative outrage is present. They are blaming President Joe Biden for the rise in migrants seeking asylum and crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. 

They are complaining about fentanyl being seized at the border and potentially criminals being detained. It's almost like they don't want anything done at the border. They seem fixated on the possibility that the white population decline is a reality.

Just adding more ingredients to an already toxic environment. Making more extremists a day. With a good economy at best, Republicans have no real solutions. So they will do stunts like pass a debt ceiling increase bill that require spending cuts. It's ridiculous.

The terrorist maintained a profile on the Russian social networking platform OK.ru, including posts referring to extremist online forums, such as 4chan, and content from white nationalists, including Nick Fuentes, an antisemitic white nationalist provocateur.

In the weeks before the attack, the terrorist posted more than two dozen photos of Allen Premium Outlets, where an officer killed him after the shooting Saturday, and surrounding areas, including several screenshots of Google location information, seemingly monitoring the mall at its busiest times.

Many of his posts referred to his mental health. In his final post, he lamented what his family might say and wrote that no psychologist would have been able to fix him.

In another post, he made disturbing comments about what makes a mass shooting "important" and praised a person who opened fire at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, this year, killing six people, including three children.

The shooter also posted a series of links to other sites, including a YouTube account that featured a video published the day of the shooting. In it he removed a "Scream" mask and said, "Not quite what you were expecting, huh?"

He also posted photos of a flak vest emblazoned with patches, one of them with the initialism for "Right Wing Death Squad," a popular meme among far-right extremist groups. Another post included a series of shirtless pictures with visible white power tattoos, including SS lightning bolts and a swastika.

The shooter was armed with multiple weapons, including an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun, authorities said.

Regardless of this, what we know was this gunman managed to wipe out eight people within seconds. Not one second would have saved these lives.

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, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified.

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. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Elon Musk criticized for allowing the sharing of graphic images of the victims and spreading conspiracy  theories.

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

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism, 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.

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.

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.

Jenny Craig Stuffed!

Jenny Craig goes under.

Weight loss and health company started by fitness guru is going out of business.

The Jenny Craig Diet.... a popular theme of the weight loss company. Now it will be a part of history as the company is going out of business.

After 40 years in business, weight-loss chain Jenny Craig has announced it is closing down in the U.S., Canada, and possibly several other markets around the world.

Reports of the chain's demise first emerged last week, when the chain was scrambling to come up with cash to cover a looming debt payment, and warning staff of major layoffs to come

The business — which offers pre-made meals and coaching lessons to millions of people trying to lose weight — has roughly 500 franchises across the U.S. and Canada, and more globally.

Jenny with her late husband Sidney Craig.

It was founded by American entrepreneur Jenny Craig in the 1970s but changed hands numerous times over the years.

Its most recent sale was in 2019, when it was purchased by private equity firm HIG Capital for an undisclosed sum.

The chain's efforts to fix its business proved fruitless as the chain filed paperwork with bankruptcy courts in the U.S. and Canada in recent days.

"Thank you to our loyal Jenny family," a notice on the company's website reads. "It's with a heavy heart we're announcing the close of our business."

The move means that effective immediately, all of the chains activities have ceased. Any food scheduled to be delivered has been cancelled, as are all orders for coaching sessions and merchandise sales.

Washed Up 45 Told To Clam Up By Judge!

Enough of the noise.

The judge overseeing the former president's hush money cover up trial told him to stop posting about it. He has now a gag order imposed after he constantly derided Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Also he faces a sexual assault trial which now in the hands of jury. 

E. Jean Carroll is suing the former president for rape. The former president was given an opportunity to defend himself but missed the deposition on Sunday.

Judge Juan Merchan largely sided with Bragg by limiting what Washed Up 45 can publicly disclose about new evidence from the prosecution before the case goes to trial.

It's almost over.

The order says that "any materials and information provided by the People to the Defense in accordance with their discovery obligations ... shall be used solely for the purposes of preparing a defense in this matter."

Merchan's order said anyone with access to the evidence being turned over to the former president's team by state prosecutors “shall not copy, disseminate or disclose” the material to third parties, including social media platforms, “without prior approval from the court."

It also singles out Washed Up 45, saying he is allowed to review sensitive "Limited Dissemination Materials" from prosecutors only in the presence of his lawyers and "shall not be permitted to copy, photograph, transcribe, or otherwise independently possess the Limited Dissemination Materials."

In addition, the order restricts the former president from reviewing "forensic images of witness cell phones," although his lawyers can show him "approved portions" of the images after they get permission from the judge.

It needed to stop. Bragg requested that all mentions of the trial by Washed Up 45 is off limits.

The former president’s lawyers and the DA’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.

The ruling largely tracks with the DA’s office request for a protective order, which Washed Up 45's attorneys had complained was “extremely restrictive.”

Prosecutors had argued they needed “safeguards that will protect the integrity of the materials,” saying the “risk” that the former president would use them “inappropriately is substantial.”

“Donald J. Trump has a longstanding and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, trial jurors, grand jurors, judges, and others involved in legal proceedings against him, putting those individuals and their families at considerable safety risk,” the DA's office argued in a court filing last month.

Prosecutors had stressed they were not seeking a gag order against Washed Up 45, a 2024 presidential candidate — they just wanted to make sure he did not misuse their evidence.

Stormy Daniels had to increase security due to Washed Up 45's threats.

“Defendant has a constitutional right to speak publicly about this case, and the People do not seek to infringe upon that right,” their filing said.

The former president's lawyers argued in a filing last week that the DA's proposed order would do exactly that.

“The People’s Proposed Protective Order infringes upon President Trump’s First Amendment right to freely discuss his own character and qualifications for federal office and the First Amendment rights of the American people to hear President Trump’s side of the story,” it said.

Merchan said in Monday's order that prosecutors had shown "good cause" for their request.

Washed up 45 was charged last month with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and another woman toward the end of his 2016 presidential campaign to prevent them from speaking about their allegations of affairs with him. He has pleaded not guilty and has said he did not have an extramarital affair.

The former president has maintained Bragg and the judge are biased against him, and his lawyers filed paperwork last week seeking to have the case transferred to federal court. The request is pending.

Jan 6 Rioter In Pink Beret Identified!

Pretty stupid.

A former boyfriend told the FBI about the viral photo of a woman who participated in the the attack on the U.S. Capitol. This woman wore a pink beret and stood out. Many on the far right assumed that this woman was either a FBI mole or Antifa. Turns out she was a die hard supporter of Washed Up 45 and a collector of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. 

NBC News reported that the FBI has confirmation of the suspect and they are going to apprehend her soon.

Last weekend, a clothing designer was standing in the checkout line waiting to purchase a needle for his sewing machine when his buddy saw something funny on his phone.

It was a tweet from the FBI’s Washington Field Office featuring two striking images of the 537th person added to the bureau’s U.S. Capitol Violence webpage, which has functioned as a “most wanted” list of Jan. 6 participants since the investigation began more than two years ago.

No. 537 on the FBI list is a woman wearing a white coat and black gloves, carrying a black Dolce & Gabbana purse, who has been the subject of Jan. 6 conspiracy theories. In one image, with her eyebrow arched, she looks dead at the camera like she’s Jim from “The Office.” In another, she’s standing near the Capitol, appearing to direct rioters with a stick.

Atop her head: a pink beret.

“I stopped dead in my tracks,” the designer, who asked not to be named to avoid harassment and threats, recalled in an interview with NBC News. “I’m like, ‘That’s Jenny.’”

He sent in a tip to the FBI. On Monday, he said he got a call from the bureau, confirming they were investigating Jenny. By Friday, a law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News that the bureau had identified “Pink Beret” as the clothing designer’s ex, Jennifer Inzuza Vargas, of Los Angeles.

Vargas did not respond to requests for comment.

The designer had dated Vargas four years ago and was able to identify her to the FBI thanks to the tweet’s popularity. Recent posts from the FBI Washington Field Office on Twitter have gathered 10,000 to 20,000 views. The tweet about the woman in the pink beret received more than 7.2 million. Among those millions of viewers was his friend in Joann Fabric.

The images did not show what the woman did at the Capitol, so many on Twitter assumed she didn’t do anything serious. Some Donald Trump supporters pounced, calling this another instance of FBI overreach, a reason to defund the bureau.

Feds identifying all the participants in the U.S. Capitol attack.

The jokes flooded in, too. One Twitter user dubbed the woman “Insurrection Eva Braun,” another compared her to Carmen Sandiego. Someone called her “fascist Matilda,” and several users made jokes about her being a character from a Wes Anderson movie. “Emily in-carceration,” read one of the joke tweets referring to the show “Emily in Paris.” There were a couple of comparisons to April Ludgate, the character played by Aubrey Plaza in NBC’s “Parks and Recreation.”

The clothing designer’s friend was among them: “He’s always on Twitter, and he said something like, ‘Yo, check out this chick.’”

That night, after tipping off the FBI, the clothing maker took to his own Twitter account, quote-tweeting the FBI’s post.

“I use to date this girl in 2019 LOL,” he tweeted, attaching an old picture of Vargas, wearing a red ski hat. After his tweet began to pick up steam, he started getting harassment and worried if could escalate to threats. He decided to delete the tweet, saying that things were getting “crazy.”

To the “Sedition Hunters” — the online sleuths who have spent the last 800+ days compiling and organizing open-source materials to help identify Jan. 6 rioters — Vargas was known as #PinkBeret. While the sleuths had aided in the cases against hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants and identified hundreds more Jan. 6 rioters who the FBI had not yet been arrested, Pink Beret remained elusive, despite being captured in a variety of videos and photos that day. 

Online sleuths had mapped out Pink Beret’s day, and she seemed to be everywhere. There she was, captured in photos and videos taken at the initial breach of the police line, by the Peace Monument. There she was, on the front lines of the attack, on video cheering on as rioters tore apart a black fence so they could chuck the pieces at the police line. There she is, in photos and video, holding the door open for other rioters at one breach point, entering the building, then entering the building again from a second breach point. There she is inside as men in military gear chase police officers under a roll-down emergency door. There she is, smoking a cigar, on the east side of the Capitol. There she is, moving a large black bag from the pile of media equipment that rioters were hellbent on destroying. “Traitors get the f---ing rope,” someone yells repeatedly as rioters smash equipment and Pink Beret looks on in high heels.

They had attacked it from all angles, but no luck. One sleuth said he had searched for pink berets so much that he began to get targeted ads for the caps, including a pink one adorned with small white puffs.

That all changed last weekend when the sleuths saw the clothing designer’s tweet. They said they ran a facial recognition check, got a match, found more photos and found plenty of material to confirm the ID, including a post in which she appears to have sold a (slightly damaged) Dolce & Gabbana purse that looks like the one Pink Beret wore to the Capitol.

The clothing designer, who’s based in Los Angeles, met Vargas, who’s from Sacramento, online and they hit it off “really well” in late 2018. In early 2019, when they were in their early 20s, Vargas flew down to L.A. “We weren’t, like, trying to get married or anything,” he said. “We were hooking up for a few months.”

Toward the end of those months, the designer said, Vargas posted on his Discord that she was reading Hitler’s 1925 manifesto. They got into a discussion about it that revealed more of Vargas’ far-right politics, he said.

“I was just instantly turned off, like, ‘Yo, I don’t think this is going to work out,’” he said. “You’re, like, reading ‘Mein Kampf,’ you think immigrants don’t deserve X, Y, Z.” (One of the social media accounts linked to Vargas, which was viewed by NBC News, also makes references to Hitler.) 

After their relationship fizzled, Vargas stuck around in the Los Angeles area, the designer said; the account that sold the Dolce & Gabbana bag is based in Beverly Hills, and an Instagram account that appears to belong to her has posted from Los Angeles.

They kept in touch, occasionally exchanging messages even though their interests diverged. “She’s super into politics, and I didn’t know anything besides the fact that Trump lost,” the designer said. But he knew she was in Washington on Jan. 6 and did some research. He even asked her if she was on the “no fly” list in a message he wrote to her a few days after the attack, on Jan. 10, 2021, which he shared with NBC News. 

“Nope, cause I didn’t go into the [Capitol],” she wrote, despite extensive video evidence later viewed by NBC News that does appear to show her inside the building.

“But you still crossed state lines to riot,” he replied.

“I was there to support the president. Not to partake in that riot. I support the police,” Vargas responded.

In the months that she remained unidentified, some speculated that Pink Beret was an “agent provocateur,” part of a pattern of Jan. 6 defendants and their supporters attempting to deflect responsibility for their actions by suggesting fellow rioters were working on behalf of the government to entrap Trump supporters during the attack.

Kira West, an attorney for Jan. 6 defendant Darrell Neely, has questioned the government about Pink Beret, who is seen on video holding hands with Neely inside the Capitol. West wrote in a memo this year that it was “hard to believe the government doesn’t know who she is and even harder to understand why they haven’t charged her with crimes like everyone else.”

West, in a filing in February, wrote that “Mr. Neely’s entry into the Capitol was directed by Pink Beret. Mr. Neely needs to know who she is and why she was there. He also needs to understand if he was targeted by her that day and for what purpose.”

Pink Beret was “central to Mr. Neely’s defense,” and the court should allow a “robust cross examination of government witnesses about Pink Beret girl, her possible connection to law enforcement and her role in the events of January 6, 2021,” West wrote.

The government has sought to have Neely’s defense team banned at trial from raising questions about whether Pink Beret was a member of law enforcement unless they could offer any evidence for that assertion, writing, “the Government is unaware of any evidence to support that contention.”

With hundreds of cases waiting in the pipeline, months and even years have gone by between the time rioters have been identified and when they’ve been arrested. But with Neely’s trial set to begin on May 22, the government may need to produce the new evidence it collected last weekend about Vargas’ identity expeditiously.

Asked this week about Pink Beret being identified by her ex, West said she wanted answers from the FBI months ago. “The FBI is late,” West told NBC News. “I have no idea if she has a connection to [law enforcement]. They won’t tell us.” 

Vargas isn’t the first Jan. 6 rioter to be turned in by a former romantic partner. Richard Michetti was turned in by his ex after he called her a “moron” at the Capitol because she didn’t believe  Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election. Last year, he was sentenced to nine months in federal prison.

The clothing designer said he thinks it’s important to get to the bottom of things and figure out if Vargas was working with any extremists on Jan. 6. But he said his “heart hurts” for Vargas.

“She’s clearly, like, a lost person,” he said, but added there needs to be accountability for people who stormed the Capitol. 

He said he was struck by the sheer randomness of learning that an ex-girlfriend was on the FBI’s wanted list because of viral Twitter jokes.

“It’s just going to be one of those things for me,” the designer joked. “I dated this girl that was on the FBI’s most wanted list.”

Thoughts And Prayers Ain't Doing Sh*t!

If you're getting tired of the politicians reacting to gun violence in the United States using the troupes, "thoughts and prayers," "our hearts goes out to the victims" or "now it's not the time", then you're not alone.

Are you tired of the constant reaction by politicians saying that "quick reaction by law enforcement prevent more deaths?" 

Well you're not alone.

I've gotten tired of these mentions of gun violence troupes. The shrugging off of a man-made crisis caused by a person using his/her right to firearms. Most of these mass shooters are legal owners.

And are you getting tired of the politicians (especially Republicans) using Chicago as an excuse to deflect from gun violence in RED STATES?

The Allen, Texas mass shooting is the latest. Lawmakers react with the usual "thoughts and prayers."

Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) has made it clear that Americans who don't believe in "thoughts and prayers" are not in favor of the Almighty God.

Just pray harder. https://t.co/4KcjYmoKSZ

Question: Are you concerned about the rise in these incidents across the country?
Rep. Self: Of course. Absolutely. Any time there is violence, whether it be in one of the big cities, riots, the trashing of stores in Chicago, or shootings like this.. pic.twitter.com/ld0EcGDmB5

Self, who represents Texas' 3rd Congressional District which includes Allen, Texas, the site of the latest mass shooting in the U.S. pivoted on CNN about gun violence by using the troupes.

When a CNN reporter asked what his response was to people who feel "prayers aren't cutting it," the congressman said, "Well, those are people that don't believe in an almighty god who is absolutely in control of our lives."

He is one of the 300 members who refuse to acknowledge the 2020 results and is more concerned about Dylan Mulvaney being a spokesperson for Bud Light. On top of that, he like the insufferable Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and Ronny Jackson (R-TX) all pose with firearms like they're so tough.

Texas, Alabama, Ohio, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana, North Carolina, District of Columbia, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Hawai'i, Virginia, Kansas, Puerto Rico, Kentucky, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Tennessee had mass shootings this year.

The shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets sent hundreds of shoppers and employees fleeing in panic. Authorities said the gunman, who has not yet been named, killed eight and wounded seven others before being killed by a police officer who happened to be nearby.
