Timmy, Tim, Tim....!

Now he's in.

Back in 2019, there were three Black senators. 

Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kamala Harris of California and this Republican senator.

In 2019, Booker and Harris ran for president. Both dropped out the race before the Iowa Caucus. Harris would end up becoming vice presidential nominee for Joe Biden. In 2020, Biden won and Harris became the first woman, first African American and first Asian American to be elected. 

Currently, Harris is the current Vice President of the United States.

She, Booker and Sen. Raphael Warnock (R-GA) call him a friend. They strongly disagree with his politics and his lack of self awareness.

South Carolina senator is filing paperwork to run for the Republican nomination. He will expect a fury of attacks from Washed Up 45, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and of course Black America.

Timothy Eugene Scott is now officially joining in the cabal of Republican candidates seeking to be the nominee for 2024. But like with Haley, former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchison, Larry Elder and Vivek Ramaswamy, they are going to be drowned out by Washed Up 45 and the non stop drivel between him and expecting candidate Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

On Friday, Scott placed his paperwork in with the Federal Election Commission and is expected to formally join this.

He is a far right Republican. He came as the first African American Republican to be elected since moderate Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. He was a former U.S. House Member for one term before Haley chose him to be the senator after white nationalist senator Jim DeMitt left to lobby for far right activists. He is currently serving as a senator.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) ran in 2016 miserably.

Scott is one of 11 African-Americans to have served in the U.S. Senate, and the first to have served in both chambers of Congress. He is the seventh African-American elected to the Senate and the fourth from the Republican Party. He is the first African-American senator from South Carolina, the first African-American senator to be elected from the Southern United States since 1881 (four years after the end of Reconstruction), and the first African-American Republican to serve in the Senate since Edward Brooke departed in 1979.

Going to be a tough road for Tim Scott.

Scott wants to call himself the color blind candidate. He is trying to undermine Biden by saying the president is emboldened by grievances. 

Bud Light and Disney would like a call.

“If you wanted a blueprint to ruin America, you’d keep doing exactly what Joe Biden has let the far left do to our country for the past two years,” he said. “Tell every white kid they’re oppressors. Tell Black and brown kids their destiny is grievance, not greatness.”

He easily won reelection last year and had long said his current term, which runs through 2029, would be his last.

As a senator, Scott has been a go-to Republican voice on issues including policing and was the GOP’s chief negotiator on legislation that ultimately stalled in 2021. He has also spoken on the Senate floor about his personal experiences as a Black man in America.

“I have felt the anger, the frustration, the sadness and the humiliation that comes with feeling like you’re being targeted for nothing more than just being yourself,” Scott said in 2016, recounting how he was pulled over seven times in a year. He was once stopped by a U.S. Capitol Police officer who recognized the Senate lapel pin that Scott was wearing — but did not recognize Scott.

Scott rejects the notion that the country is inherently racist and has repudiated the teaching of critical race theory, an academic framework that presents the idea that the nation’s institutions maintain the dominance of white people.

“Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country,” Scott said. “It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.”

Scott believes parents should have more oversight over what their kids learn in public schools about race, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Scott has twice addressed the Republican National Convention — in 2012 as a first-term congressman and in 2020 as a senator. At the last GOP convention, he praised Washed Up 45 for building “the most inclusive economy ever” and for supporting funding for historically Black colleges and universities.

Charlamagne Tha Dud!

Buh bye.

Poor Lenny.....

Lenard Mckelvey is a radio personality who is an alleged rapist. He is a shit starter who goes under the name of Charlamagne Tha God.

Well he has a radio program called The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy and a rotating guest female host. Angela Yee left after tension between Envy and Lenny.

Comedy Central had gave him a program. Hell of a Week: Tha God's Honest Truth was on for two seasons and it was a trainwreck. It ruined Tiffany Cross and it riled up Vice President Kamala Harris.

It was basically a shitshow and it was about time they cancelled it.

The Paramount Global network has canceled animated series Tooning Out The News and Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God.

Both shows are exec produced by Stephen Colbert.

Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God ran for two seasons on the network. It launched in September 2021, initially as Tha God’s Honest Truth before it was rebranded for its second season. The weekly series turned into more of a panel format for the second season, which premiered last July after The Daily Show.

It made its biggest headlines with an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, where The Breakfast Club host pressed her on the power of Senator Joe Manchin and she told him to stop “talking like a Republican”. It was also nominated for a WGA Award.

The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios. Rachael Edwards serves as showrunner and exec produces alongside McKelvey, Colbert, Josh Lieb, Aaron McGruder, Karen Kinney, James Dixon and Norm Aladjem with Lisa D. Goumelle as EIC. Ari Pearce, Bola Fapohunda and Driadonna Roland are executive producers with Matthew Parillo as EIC for MTV Entertainment Studios.

“We will not be resuming production on another season of Hell of A Week,” said a Comedy Central spokesperson. “We thank Charlamagne and the amazing team behind the show for its impactful conversations and the incredible collaboration as we look ahead to our future partnership with Charlamagne.”

The Far Right Dismiss Prince Harry And Duchess Meghan Car Chase!

The junk food media can't leave them alone.

For the last time, her name is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. It is not Rachel Meghan Markle or Meghan Markle. She has a royal title.

Okay, the far right dismissed the chase that happened in New York this week.

They have constantly attacked Meghan. What reasons, I don't know!

But clearly, most of these folks including the insufferable Candace Owens are attacking her because she married a British royal. I mean what will it take for them to understand that Meghan and Harry are trying to live their lives in peace. What does it take?

Will they have to be killed because of these agitators relentless projections.

Prince Harry announced that the couple, as well as Meghan's mother Doria Ragland had been accosted by paparazzi in multiple window-blinded cars following Meghan's presentation with a Vision of Women Award in Midtown Manhattan the previous night. The spokesperson stated the car chase lasted approximately two hours. Harry described this episode as his closest personal experience to which his late mother Princess Diana had been subjected to at the time of her death.

Mayor Eric Adams did confirm that an incident occurred. He said that the New York Police Department will be investigating the incident.

The pair, together with Meghan’s mother, were followed by photographers after they left a charity event in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” a spokesperson for the couple said in a statement.

The spokesperson added that the “near catastrophic car chase” came “at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.”

Law enforcement sources pushed back against any characterization that the incident was “near catastrophic” but conceded that the couple’s ride Tuesday night was “a bit chaotic.”

Julian Phillips, the police department’s deputy commissioner of public information, said officers “assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

“There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging,” Phillips said in a statement. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.”

The couple spent Tuesday night in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and didn't want photographers to know where they were staying, law enforcement sources said.

Photographers followed the couple for 75 minutes up and down the Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive, the main thoroughfare of Manhattan's East Side, sources said.

The traveling party went to the police department's 19th Precinct station house, on East 67th Street between Lexington and Third avenues, for about 15 minutes before they got into another car and left without being followed, sources said.

At the station, the couple's team flagged down a taxi driven by Sonny Singh, 37, of Queens.

The couple had attended the Women of Vision Awards and left New York’s Ziegfeld Ballroom at about 10 p.m., police officials said. Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, also attended the event.

It was the first public event the couple had attended since King Charles III's coronation, which Meghan didn't attend. Harry's mother, Princess Diana, died in a Paris car crash while being pursued by paparazzi in 1997.

Jim Brown Passed Away!

Jim Brown has passed away.

The Dawg Pound mourns the passing of running back, NFL Hall of Fame honoree, actor, civil rights activist an alleged sexual predator Jim Brown passed away.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former president Donald J. Trump, former president Barack Obama and former first Lady Michelle Obama were notified of his passing.

"It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my husband, Jim Brown," Monique Brown said in a statement. "He passed peacefully last night at our LA home. To the world he was an activist, actor, and football star. To our family, he was a loving and wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Our hearts are broken."

Brown is one of the greatest running backs of all time, having won three MVPs (including in his rookie season in 1957) and being named an All-Pro in each of his nine NFL seasons, eight of which he was a First-teamer. He was the sixth overall pick in the 1957 NFL Draft out of Syracuse.

Brown led the NFL in rushing yards in every season he played but one, and also had the most rushing touchdowns on five occasions.

His 106 rushing touchdowns are the sixth-most all-time, and his 12,312 rushing yards rank the 11th most in NFL history.

Brown retired after 1965, another season in which he was a First-team All-Pro, to pursue acting and civil rights activism. He appeared in more than 30 films.

"It’s impossible to describe the profound love and gratitude we feel for having the opportunity to be a small piece of Jim’s incredible life and legacy. We mourn his passing, but celebrate the indelible light he brought to the world," the Browns said in a statement.

"Our hearts are with Jim’s family, loved ones, and all those he impacted along the way."

"One of the greatest players in NFL history, a true pioneer and activist. Jim Brown’s legacy will live on forever," the NFL said.

He was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971 and won the NFL championship in 1964.

Jim Brown played as a fullback for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL) from 1957 through 1965. Considered to be one of the greatest running backs of all time, as well as one of the greatest players in NFL history, Brown was a Pro Bowl invitee every season he was in the league, was recognized as the AP NFL Most Valuable Player three times, and won an NFL championship with the Browns in 1964. He led the league in rushing yards in eight out of his nine seasons, and by the time he retired, he held most major rushing records. In 2002, he was named by The Sporting News as the greatest professional football player ever.

Brown earned unanimous All-America honors playing college football at Syracuse University, where he was an all-around player for the Syracuse Orangemen football team. The team later retired his number 44 jersey, and he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995. He is also widely considered one of the greatest lacrosse players of all time, and the Premier Lacrosse League MVP Award is named in his honor. Brown also excelled in basketball and track and field.

Legandary running back for the Cleveland Browns.

In his professional career, Brown carried the ball 2,359 times for 12,312 rushing yards and 106 touchdowns, which were all records when he retired. He averaged 104.3 rushing yards per game, and is the only player in NFL history to average over 100 rushing yards per game for his career. His 5.2 yards per rush is third-best among running backs, behind Marion Motley and Jamaal Charles. Brown was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971. He was named to the NFL's 50th, 75th, and 100th Anniversary All-Time Teams, comprising the best players in NFL history. Brown was honored at the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship as the greatest college football player of all time. His number 32 jersey is retired by the Browns.

Shortly before the end of his football career, Brown became an actor, obtaining 53 acting credits and several leading roles throughout the 1970s. He has been described as Hollywood's first black action hero and his role in the 1969 film 100 Rifles made cinematic history for featuring interracial love scenes.

He was born in St. Simmons Island, Georgia near Brunswick. 

Brown married his first wife Sue Brown (née Jones) in September 1959. She sued for divorce in 1968, charging him with "gross neglect." Together they had three children, twins born 1960, and a son born 1962. Their divorce was finalized in 1972. Brown was ordered to pay $2,500 per month in alimony and $100 per week for child support.

In 1965, Brown was arrested in his hotel room for assault and battery against an 18-year-old named Brenda Ayres; he was later acquitted of those charges. A year later, he fought paternity allegations that he fathered Brenda Ayres' child.

In 1968, Brown was charged with assault with intent to commit murder after model Eva Bohn-Chin was found beneath the balcony of Brown's second-floor apartment. The charges were later dismissed after Bohn-Chin refused to cooperate with the prosecutor's office. Brown was also ordered to pay a $300 fine for striking a deputy sheriff involved in the investigation during the incident. In Brown's autobiography, he stated that Bohn-Chin was angry and jealous over an affair he had been having with Gloria Steinem, and this argument is what led to the "misunderstanding with the police".

Jim Brown and Ye endorsed Washed Up 45 in 2016 and 2020.

In 1970, Brown was found not guilty of assault and battery, the charges stemming from a road-rage incident that had occurred in 1969.

In December 1973, Brown proposed to 18-year-old Diane Stanley, a Clark College student he met in Acapulco, Mexico, in April of that year. They broke off their engagement in 1974.

In 1975, Brown was convicted of misdemeanor battery for beating and choking his golfing partner, Frank Snow. He was sentenced to one day in jail, two years' probation, and a fine of $500.

In 1985, Brown was charged with raping a 33-year-old woman. The charges were later dismissed.

In 1986, Brown was arrested for assaulting his fiancée Debra Clark. Clark refused to press charges, though, and Brown was released.

Brown married his second wife, Monique, in 1997; they have two children. In 1999, Brown was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats toward his wife. Later that year, he was found guilty of vandalism for smashing his wife's car with a shovel. He was sentenced to three years' probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and 400 hours of community service or 40 hours on a work crew along with a $1,800 fine. Brown ignored the terms of his sentence and in 2000 was sentenced to six months in jail, which he began serving in 2002 after refusing the court-ordered counseling and community service. He was released after three months.

Is Laura Ingraham Next?

Fox shakes up the tree. A nut may come out.

Contrary to the noise, Laura Ingraham will be on Fox. However, her 10pm spot will be vacated. That means that someone will fill her spot in the coming months.

Nothing is confirmed until Fox actually brings the goods.

A network spokesperson said, “Reports based on various tweets by left wing activists are wildly inaccurate — Laura Ingraham, the top-rated woman in cable news, is now and will continue to be a prominent host and integral part of the Fox News lineup.”

Actually it came from The Drudge Report.

The latest Fox News statement does not address whether she will remain in her 10 p.m. ET time period, but the network statement is a pushback on social media rumors that she is exiting.

The speculation about Ingraham started after the Drudge Report, in its main headline, reported that Fox News was about to overhaul its primetime line up, with "Softball" Hannity leading the 8 p.m. hour and shows hosted by Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld taking the later slots. That left the question of what would happen to Ingraham.

Softball Hannity's program is stale.

Earlier in the day, the network said that “no decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration.” After the network dropped Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. show last month, a series of rotating hosts has filled the time slot under the banner Fox News Tonight, with the expectation that a permanent occupant would be named.

Ingraham has hosted The Ingraham Angle since 2017.

Fox News has seen a viewership dip in primetime with the loss of Carlson, but the network’s lineup of Fox News Tonight, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Ingraham have still generally topped rivals in total audience. MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show did beat that annoying agitator on Monday and but Maddow’s show is on just once a week.

Conservative Outrage Over Adidas Male Model In Swimwear!

This is what keeps the far right up.

If the far right boycott things they eat, drink, drive, wear, travel, watch and visit.... they will have nothing to bitch about. They will be hungry, stranded and broke.

The Republicans are too far gone to understand that their ridiculous culture wars are only hurting their chances at winning in 2024. And if they do win, it could spark a rise in domestic terrorism. I am getting far ahead of myself. I mean I hate projection and future tense.

Washed Up 45 and the minions are so invested in pissing off people of color, migrants, those in the LGBTQ community, young voters and even their own to "own the libs."

Democrats have been cautiously optimistic and worried about how our country is moving post Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on executive powers, affirmative action and federal regulation cases. They will also test the limitations of church and state. If the Court pulls what I believe it may do, generations of Americans will lose their opportunity to succeed, the government can quietly roll back regulations and it will lead to catastrophic results.

What's new in the culture wars?

Adidas.

You know the company that severed ties with Ye after he said he'll go "def con 3" on the Jews and declared Adolf Hitler was a genius. Ye still hasn't recovered from that.

The far right are outraged again. The Daily Mail, Breitbart, Fox and Republicans like do nothing Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) are whining.

I dont understand why companies are voluntarily doing this to themselves. They could have at least said the suit is "unisex", but they didn't because its about erasing women. Ever wondered why we hardly see this go the other way?

Women's swimsuits arent accessorized with a bulge https://t.co/ysHK8e5H9l

— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) May 17, 2023

I'm old enough to remember when women actually modeled women's bathing suits, not men. 🙃 https://t.co/kOvXvmDzHt

— Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace) May 17, 2023

Adidas collaborated with South African designer Rich Mnisi to release the "Let Love Be Your Legacy" collection and campaign. The company attempts to "encourage allyship and freedom of expression without bias, in all spaces of sport and culture" with its campaign with Mnisi.

Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swim star who is a white nationalist and Mace supposedly the smart Republican were among those Wednesday who took issue with the model advertising a woman’s Adidas swimsuit as part of the company’s pride collection.

Adidas said in its news release it partnered with Athlete Ally, "which focuses on ending homophobia and transphobia in sport."

"Together with adidas our goal is to drive inclusivity in sport– supporting student athletes from the LGBTQI+ and their allies to push for fair access and safe participation in sport. Through our partnership, we’ve created more affirming athletic spaces to celebrate the community across sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions," Athlete Ally founder Hudson Taylor said.

Why don't these women mind their own business? No one is talking about their plastic surgery and botox injections.

For the far right, it's woke.

Bud Light's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney ignited a boycott that sent the popular beer brand's sales nosediving for multiple weeks last month and continues to trouble the company. Protests of Bud Light and parent company Anheuser-Busch began after Bud Light sent a commemorative can to Mulvaney to mark her first year of transitioning to a woman. However, many LGBTQ+ advocates have criticized the company for not defending its ties with the influencer, who has more than 10 million TikTok followers.

Adidas and Bud Light are not the only brands to become the target of conservatives' ire over marketing that advocates for the LGBTQ+ community. Multiple social media users recently took aim at Miller Lite over what they dubbed "woke" advertising, and Target's LGBTQ+ Pride Month line sparked calls for the retailer to receive "the Bud Light treatment."

The Republicans are losing their shit over things that don't affect their lives.

Gun violence is the biggest threat to the country. Democracy is on the brink of collapse.

We are self destructing before the world's eyes with this stalemate to raising the debt ceiling.

The Republicans show no interest in governing with a Democratic president. They want to sow chaos for short term gains.

Insufferable Lawmaker Boebert To Divorce Husband!

The iconic photo of Lauren Boebert and husband Jayson reacting to rival leading in close election.

More controversy from the Western Slope's least productive lawmaker. While she was talking shit to Washington, DC's mayor Muriel Bowser about crime and statehood, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has quietly filed for divorce from her husband of 15 years.

Boebert being a high profile lawmaker does have U.S. Capitol protection. She may need it.

Boebert and husband Jayson seem to not have the guns to last.

The April 25 filing seeks to dissolve her marriage to Jayson Boebert, with whom she shares four sons. An affidavit of service, also obtained by The Daily Beast, indicate that Jayson Boebert appeared to be caught off guard by the court proceedings. He chased away a process server with an expletive-laden tirade and let his dogs loose when he was served with the divorce papers, the affidavit said.

“Once he learned that he was being served with Dissolution of Marriage papers he was extremely angry,” the process server wrote. “I tried to hand him the documents but [he] did not take them. He started yelling and using profanities, and told me that I was trespassing, and that he was calling the Sheriff’s Office. I told him I was leaving the documents on the chair outside of the door, he closed the door then let the dogs out.”

The document noted that Jayson was cleaning a gun and drinking a “tall glass of beer” when he was served.

Boebert, who has repeatedly spoken of the importance of “family values” in her short political career, told The Daily Beast in a statement Tuesday that the divorce was due to “irreconcilable differences.”

“It is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband,” the statement said. “I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I’ve always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult. This is truly about irreconcilable differences.”

Jayson seems like the type who could harm Lauren.

The two will be grandparents with their eldest son, 18 impregnating a then 15 year old.

Speaking to The Daily Beast via text, Jayson said he was “upset,” but denied saying “anything bad” to the process server and that his dogs were “no threat.”

“I did not know what I was being served for or if it was some crazy left wing person coming to my house again,” Jayson continued.

“I was not drinking and I was not cleaning any gun. The divorce is sad, I did not expect this, I love her with every bit of my heart, she has been my soul mate and she is the mother of my Children.

“We have been through a lot together and I just want her to be happy,” Jayson said, ending with: “So it’s what ever she wants.”

Boebert’s office did not answer when asked if she intends to keep her married surname.

“I do not intend to discuss this matter any further in public out of respect for our children and will continue to work hard to represent the people of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District,” her statement said.

Jayson and Boebert had their fair share of brushes with law enforcement during their time together. Jayson was arrested in 2004 for exposing his penis to two women at a bowling alley—a crime he pleaded guilty to. Boebert, who was then 17-year-old Lauren Opal Roberts, was at the bowling alley, too, but she reportedly stayed with Jason.

That same year, Jayson and Boebert were arrested for separate incidents in which they reportedly abused each other. Jayson was arrested on a domestic violence charge that February, while Boebert was slapped with charges of third-degree assault, criminal mischief and underage drinking in May.

Boebert landed herself in hot water again in 2010—with a neighbor accusing her two pitbulls of attacking a pup. Boebert pleaded guilty to a “dog at large” charge and paid a $75 fine.

Adam Frisch hopes to pull a defeat this second time. It will be difficult to defeat Lauren Boebert.

Boebert was arrested again in 2015 for disorderly conduct at a country music festival, and was charged with careless driving a year later after she rolled her truck into a ditch.

More recently, neighbors of the couple called 911 in August and accused Jayson of running over their mailbox and threatening them. In 911 calls obtained by The Denver Post, a neighbor is heard yelling to a dispatcher, “It’s Lauren Boebert’s jackass husband, Jayson. He’s running over my mailbox right now... Stop you jackass. Get the fuck out of here.”

No arrests were made and the local sheriff’s office remained tight-lipped about the incident.

Boebert, 36 was then the controversial owner of Shooters Grille in Rifle, Colorado. Her ass defied Gov. Jared Polis' COVID-19 orders in 2020. She also traveled to Texas to troll then 2020 presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke. Boebert who styled herself as a gun toting hip shaking chick won the Republican primary against Washed Up 45 backed Scott Tipton. 

Washed Up 45 quickly backed her and praised her for her upbeat performance as a troll.

She would end up defeating the Democrat in 2020. Upon arriving she made allies with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). They heckle President Joe Biden and call for impeachment of him, Vice President Kamala Harris and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Greene is considered a rival now.

Frenemies. Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are too toxic to their spouses.

Boebert spent only 20% or less of her time in the 3rd Congressional District. Her restaurant went out business. She mostly attends political events and speaks for fees in other states. It caught the attention of Adam Frisch. The moderate Democrat pushed hard to defeat her and came with 530 votes of defeating her. She remained still controversial despite the warning.

She spent only 25% of her time in the district. She continues to be out of district and doing things that won't benefit the constituents of the Western Slope and southern Colorado.

Boebert, Greene and Gaetz have allegedly cheated on their spouses. Greene had her husband file for divorce. She was cheating on Perry Greene with Brian Glenn, a far right media personality.

Gaetz married his wife quietly after the feds investigated his alleged pimping of an underage girl. He is under federal watch

Madison Cawthorn, a former North Carolina Republican who allied with them faced the same allegations of adultery and unproductive work as a lawmaker.

Colorado Springs Got A Dem-Aligned Mayor!

Meet the new mayor. Nigerian-born American mayor-elect Yemi Mobolade flips longtime Republican city of Colorado Springs.

An independent who was backed by the Democrats won the mayoral election in Colorado Springs. It was the mass shootings and the antics of two controversial lawmakers that drove a turnout.

Yemi Mobolade, a Nigerian born American politician won the run off primary against Republican Wayne Williams. He will be the first Black mayor and first independent (Democrat-aligned) mayor of the fairly conservative city of 489,000.

Mobolade won a solid victory in Tuesday’s runoff election for Colorado Springs mayor, defeating Williams.

Williams conceded the race around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, FOX21 reported. Early returns Tuesday night showed Mobolade leading with nearly 58% of votes cast — or 65,791 votes to Williams’ 48,570.

“We are thrilled to announce Yemi Mobolade as the 42nd Mayor of Colorado Springs!

This is a new era of leadership and progress for COS. Let’s unite and forge ahead towards a prosperous future for the city we love,” a pop-up message read on Mobolade’s website Tuesday night.

Gov. Jared Polis issued a congratulatory statement to the mayor-elect.

Republicans better moderate or prepare for more losses.

“Thank you to every Colorado Springs resident who voted,” Polis said in a statement released by his office. “Congratulations to Mayor-elect Yemi Mobolade on his victory and I look forward to working with the mayor-elect to help save people money in Colorado Springs, make Colorado one of the 10 safest states and move Colorado Springs forward.”

Mobolade, a Nigerian-born businessman and unaffiliated political newcomer, will become the city’s first elected Black mayor.

Mobolade will be elevated to run for other offices in the future.

Williams, a Republican and known face in Colorado politics, also previously served as a Colorado Springs councilman and as both commissioner and clerk and recorder for El Paso County. He briefly served as Colorado's Secretary of State.

Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) represents Colorado Springs. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) represents the western communities outside of the city.

Neo fascist Michelle Malkin lives in the city. 

Colorado Springs is the 40th largest city in the United States. It is the second largest city in the state of Colorado. It is the county seat of El Paso County. It is 71 miles from Denver.

El Paso County went to Washed Up 45 by 10 points. Colorado Springs and El Paso County are heavily favored Republican.

Interstate 25 serves as the primary freeway. It establishes a connection through the New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.

Jacksonville Gets A Dem Mayor!

Guess who turned out to vote? Donna Deegan is the first woman to be mayor of Jacksonville, the 12th largest U.S. city.

Former TV anchor becomes mayor elect of Florida's largest city. Another defeat for the Republicans. The backing of Washed Up 45 and Florida governor Ron DeSantis did not help Republicans turn out the vote.

Donna Deegan, former First Coast News anchor and writer won flipping the longtime Republican-held city of Jacksonville to the Democrats.

AP projected that Democrat Donna Deegan defeated Republican Daniel Davis to succeed Mayor Lenny Curry (R), who is term-limited. Deegan, who will be the city’s first female mayor, won against Davis in a runoff on Tuesday after the two candidates advanced from a blanket primary earlier this year.

She ran on a platform of improving the city’s infrastructure, increasing access to health care for the city’s residents and bringing businesses to Jacksonville that “want to be part of growing a better, fairer, more inclusive city” and “value our increasing diversity.” 

Jacksonville with a population of 1.05 million residents is located in northern Florida. It is the county seat of Duval County. It is a consolidated-city with 96% of the county being Jacksonville with Jacksonville Beach, Baldwin, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach being semi-autonomous towns.

MAGA candidates are losing. Republicans better moderate or face defeat.

Jacksonville and Duval County is Republican-leaning. The city and county went to Joe Biden over Washed Up 45. This was a 40 year flip. Mind you, 40 fucking years.

Duval County is somewhat conservative for an urban county, and it began moving away from the Democratic Party sooner than the majority of Florida counties. Despite the small Democratic plurality in registration, the county's Democrats are nowhere near as liberal as their counterparts in other large Florida counties, such as Miami-Dade and Orange. The county has only supported a Democrat for president three times since 1952, in 1960, 1976, and 2020.

A Boy Shoots A Sonic Restaurant Employee Dead Over A Public Indecency Incident!

If this is what America is, then this is "freedom." Obviously, the Republicans and many of their far right allies have shit for brains. They are either too stupid to realize that our country is by far the leading in one of the dangerous problems. 

Gun violence.

We are living in an age where a bunch of idiots can support a man who chokeholds a random stranger on a subway to a bunch of cops brutally beating up a motorist.

If the victims are Black, the perpetrators are white, obviously the far right will distance itself from these folks. They may either defend them in the way of being a "good samaritan" or "vigilante".

A 12-year-old Texas boy has been charged with murder for allegedly shooting a Sonic restaurant employee with a semi-automatic rifle after a fight broke out in the restaurant’s parking lot.

A young father lost his life to senseless gun violence.

According to the Keene (Texas) Police Department, Sonic employee Mathew Davis confronted a man who was urinating in the parking lot of the restaurant at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Davis and the man, identified as Angel Gomez of Fort Worth, began to argue and then began to fight, Keene Police Chief James Kidd said.

As the two were fighting, the 12-year-old who had been sitting in Gomez’s car, allegedly fired six rounds from the rifle, hitting Davis, NBC-DFW reported.

Davis was airlifted to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

After the shooting, Gomez and the boy fled the scene, but Gomez later returned and was arrested. The 12-year-old, who was not identified because of his age, was located in nearby Rio Vista and taken into custody, police said. According to police, officers confiscated several firearms at the Rio Vista scene.

A GoFundMe has been started to help Davis’ family cover funeral costs and support his 10-year-old son.

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

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian 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.

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

The 20 year old man who was with the 12 year old shooter was arrested as well.

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.

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

The Weeknd: My Name Is Abel Tesfaye!

I have a name.

Entertainer The Weeknd is using his legal name.

He is literally ending The Weeknd.

The Weeknd — has started using his given name on social media accounts, quietly changing his moniker after saying last week that he wanted to "kill The Weeknd" in an interview with W Magazine.

"The album I'm working on now is probably my last hurrah as The Weeknd," he said in the interview, adding, "This is something that I have to do. As The Weeknd, I've said everything I can say."

As of Monday, while the singer's social media handles are still under his stage name, his display name appears as Abel Tesfaye on Instagram and Twitter. Tesfaye is still listed as The Weeknd on Facebook. 

Born and raised in Toronto, Tesfaye began his career in 2009 by anonymously releasing music on YouTube. Two years later, he co-founded the XO record label and released the mixtapes House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, which gained recognition for his style of contemporary and alternative R&B and the mystique surrounding his identity. In 2012, he signed with Republic Records and rereleased the mixtapes in the compilation album Trilogy. He explored dark wave in his debut studio album Kiss Land (2013), which debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200. After its release, Tesfaye began contributing to film soundtracks, with his acclaimed single "Earned It" from Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) winning the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance, while also being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Tesfaye earned critical and commercial success with his pop-leaning second album Beauty Behind the Madness (2015), which reached number one in the US, contained the US Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singles "Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills", and won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. His trap-infused third studio album Starboy (2016) saw similar commercial success and included the US number-one single of the same name and "Die For You", and won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Tesfaye explored new wave and dream pop with his critically acclaimed fourth studio album After Hours (2020), which featured the chart record-setting single "Blinding Lights" and the US number-one singles "Heartless" and "Save Your Tears". His dance-pop inspired fifth album Dawn FM (2022) included the US top-ten single "Take My Breath" and moderately successfully singles "Sacrifice", "Out of Time", and "Less than Zero".

Among the world's best-selling music artists with over 75 million records sold, Tesfaye holds several streaming and Billboard chart records. He is the first Canadian artist to earn four diamond-certified singles from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), as well as the first artist to simultaneously hold the top three spots on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "Blinding Lights" became the most-streamed song in Spotify history, and is ranked as the greatest Hot 100 song in Billboard history. Tesfaye was listed by Time as one of the world's most influential people in 2020, and was dubbed the "world's most popular artist" by Guinness World Records in 2023. An advocate for racial equality and food security, he was appointed a World Food Programme Goodwill Ambassador in 2021.

Detroit Metro Police Debate Whether They Should Charge Cashier For Locking Victims Inside With An Active Shooter!

Detroit shooting inside a gas station. The cashier locked the victims inside.

Most gun owners purchase their firearms legally. So this argument about criminals getting firearms falls flat. Even those with "mental illness" obtain firearms. The far right can't get it through their shit for brains heads that guns are the leading cause of death in the United States. 

Mass shooting in Detroit led to a victim being killed. It was the fault of an angry terrorist and an angry cashier who had the audacity to trap the victims inside an Exxon gas station. The shooter would ended up fleeing. He took off in a family member's car then went to a motel to have sex with a hooker before he was caught.

It happen this week and the Wayne County prosecutors are currently debating on whether they should criminally charge the cashier for reckless endangerment. 

The shooter is being charged with murder and attempted murder.

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

It all began over an argument over credit card decline over a measly $4 worth of groceries.

So the cashier is upset and he decides to push the panic button to lock the shooter and three other men inside. The shooter getting more agitated stated that he will shoot the victims if the cashier don't unlock the doors.

In video footage, you hear the men plead with the cashier to open the door and let them go. One even thought the shooter was bluffing. Turns out he was not bluffing.

The shooting occurred Saturday (May 6) at 3 a.m. in the 12800 block of West McNichols when Samuel Anthony McCray, 27, attempted to make a purchase inside the gas station.

No remorse.

Prosecutors say the clerk, behind protective glass, argued over four dollars worth of items with McCray as he locked the store’s door, trapping the three innocent customers inside with the shooter.

Prosecutors say McCray clarified that he would shoot the three innocent customers if the clerk did not unlock the door.

Security footage showed the three customers begging the clerk to let them out, but the door remained locked before the three victims were shot.

McCray shot three patrons of the store, according to prosecutors. Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner-Kelly, a 37-year-old Detroit father of three, was killed. His friend, David Langston, 37, and another patron survived their gunshot wounds.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said the clerk finally unlocked the door after the three people were shot, and McCray fled. He was found and arrested Sunday.

During McCray's arraignment in 36th District Court on Wednesday morning, prosecutors said the incident was captured on Project Green Light surveillance cameras.

The clerk and McCray argued after he attempted to leave the store, McCray became increasingly angry and the clerk refused multiple pleas from the other customers to unlock the door, prosecutors said.

McCray then allegedly began to argue with Fortner-Kelly. McCray told him he would "put one in the head" before pulling out a gun and shooting him and the other two patrons, prosecutors said.

The gas station owners condemned the shooter. They also said that the actions of the cashier were reckless. They ended up losing their business license because of this. 

Greg Fortner-Kelly was killed.

But in a statement, they company thanked the Detroit Metro Police and Michigan State Police for catching the shooter. They also called for gun reform.

"Mr. Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner-Kelly was an outstanding young man and leader who was a victim of a heinous and senseless crime," the company said in the statement. "SMM Mobil wants to thank the Michigan State Police and Detroit Police Department in cooperation with community organizations like Crime Stoppers for the swift apprehension of the suspect who committed this tragic and senseless act of violence further proving a need for stricter gun control laws and community unity."SMM Mobil is a participant in the Green Light program and has supported all Detroit Police initiatives to insure safer streets in our community. SMM Mobil has spoken with several community activists and has committed to help the families in any way we can in this difficult time of need. We are devastated by this horrific tragedy and will do all we can to assist and aid in the investigation. Our efforts to obtain a Business License in the City of Detroit is an ongoing process that is currently in motion."
