Graduated To The Cemetery: Mass Shooting In Richmond, Virginia!

Another senseless mass shooting. Graduation celebration turns deadly in Richmond, Virginia.

Mass shooting 327.

Other cities include: Jackson, MS; Dayton, OH; Huntsville, AL; Sunnyvale, TX; Pensacola, FL; Columbia, MO; Albuquerque; Cincinnati; Chicago; Cleveland; Memphis; San Antonio and Portland, OR.

Most of these recent mass shootings are in states with Republican governors and state legislators.

The one that got national news has President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) and the members of the U.S. Representatives being notified of the latest mass shooting in America.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

These lawmakers will do the usual "thoughts and prayers" and "our hearts goes out to" as well as the Republicans saying that "now it's not the time to talk" bullshit. 

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals  are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC. 

What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

4. Realize - Mind you, that the types of firearms used by shooter are based on capacity which limits the time of reaction. As with rule 3, you have only less than a second to make a reaction when the shooter is set on sights. So there's no real solution to save your life in the event of an active shooter. The best thing to do is understand, that anywhere in the United States could be a target of a mass shooting. Congress isn't doing a damn thing about it.

Is anything safe?

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. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. 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.

You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

BE WARNED THERE IS GRAPHIC VIDEO AND IMAGES. TAKE EXTREME DISCRETION WITH THIS. WE DO NOT HAVE CONFIRMATION OF THE VICTIMS OR THE TERRORIST.

I SHOW THESE IMAGES ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF AWARENESS. NOT FOR CLICK BAIT OR ENDORSEMENTS OF VIOLENCE.

In Richmond, Virginia, a graduation celebration for the class of 2023 ends with tragedy.

A gunman managed to shoot seven people, two fatally, when gunfire rang out Tuesday outside a downtown theater in Richmond, Virginia, where a high school graduation ceremony had just ended, causing hundreds of attendees to flee in panic, weep and clutch their children, authorities and witnesses said.

A 19-year-old suspect tried to escape on foot but was arrested and will be charged with two counts of second-degree murder, Interim Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards said during a nighttime news conference at which he confirmed the two fatalities.

Five others were wounded by the gunfire outside the state capital’s city-owned Altria Theater, which is across the street from a large, grassy park and in the middle of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus. At least 12 others were injured or treated for anxiety due to the mayhem, according to police.

“As they heard the gunfire, it was obviously chaos,” Edwards said. “We had hundreds of people in Monroe Park, so people scattered. It was very chaotic at the scene.”

Edwards said one of the people who was killed was an 18-year-old male student who had just graduated, while the other was a 36-year-old man who was there for the graduation. Their names were not released, but police believe the suspect, who was not immediately identified, knew at least one of the victims.

“This should have been a safe space. People should have felt safe at a graduation,” Edwards said.

“It’s just incredibly tragic that someone decided to bring a gun to this incident and rain terror on our community.”

Six people were brought to VCU Medical Center and their conditions ranged from serious to critical late Tuesday, VCU Health System spokesperson Mary Kate Brogan said.

Multiple handguns were recovered. Police initially said two suspects were detained, but Edwards said later that they determined one of them was not involved.

Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney vowed to ensure anyone responsible faces justice.

“This should not be happening anywhere,” Stoney said.

Officers inside the theater, where the graduation ceremony for Huguenot High School had been taking place, heard gunfire around 5:15 p.m. and radioed to police stationed outside, who found multiple victims, Edwards said.

School board member Jonathan Young told Richmond TV station WWBT that graduates and other attendees were leaving the building when they heard about 20 gunshots in rapid succession.

“That prompted, as you would expect, hundreds of persons in an effort to flee the gunfire to return to the building,” Young said.

“It materialized in a stampede,” he said.

Two people were treated for falls; one juvenile was struck by a car and sustained injuries that were not life-threatening; and nine people were treated at the scene for minor injuries or anxiety, according to police spokeswoman Tracy Walker.

Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras said the new graduates were outside taking photos with families and friends when the shooting broke out.

“I don’t have any more words on this,” Kamras said. “I’m just tired of seeing people get shot, our kids get shot. And I beg of the entire community to stop, to just stop.”

As he heard the gunshots and then sirens, neighbor John Willard, 69, stepped onto the balcony of his 18th-floor apartment. Below, he saw students fleeing in their graduation outfits and parents hugging children.

“There was one poor woman in front of the apartment block next to ours who was wailing and crying,” Willard said, adding that the scene left him deeply saddened.

Shawn Jackson, 18, and Renzo Smith, 36 were killed.

Edythe Payne was helping her daughter sell flowers outside the theater to students as they left the ceremony. She told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the shooting caused a panic on nearby Main Street, which was packed with people at the time.

“I felt bad because some elderly people were at the graduation and they got knocked down to the ground,” Payne said.

The school district said a different graduation scheduled for later Tuesday had been canceled “out of an abundance of caution” and schools would be closed Wednesday.

The mass shooting, the latest in a nation increasingly accustomed to them, prompted calls for reform.

“The gun violence epidemic is a public health crisis that we must address,” U.S. Rep. Jennifer McClellan, a Democrat whose district includes Richmond, said in a statement. “We cannot continue to live in fear. We must address the root causes of gun violence and pass common sense gun safety policies that protect our communities.”

Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, an ardent gun-rights advocate, said in remarks to news outlets near the scene that the problem lies not with guns but with criminals. She is a far right Black extremist.

“We have to figure out what’s going on in our communities,” she said.

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

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

Richmond city officials are calling for Congress to pass gun reform.

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).

Chris Licht Out!

Chris Licht tried to turn CNN into Fox. It drove people away. Now he is gone.

Chris Licht made mistakes. Big mistakes.

Firing Brian Stelter, Don Lemon, Robin Meade and Chris Cuomo were to name a few. 

Having Washed Up 45 be in a town hall in which he called host Kaitlin Collins "nasty" and basically lied through his teeth was a big mistake.

Now he has lost the trust of David Zaslav. Amid a staff revolt and concerns that his changes ruined the brand, CNN reports that its CEO is gone.

The embattled chief executive and chairman of CNN, whose brief one-year tenure at the network was stained by a series of severe missteps, will depart the company.

“I met with Chris and he will be leaving CNN,” David Zaslav, the chief executive of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, told CNN employees at the start of the network’s daily editorial call Wednesday.

Licht’s departure, which came days after a devastating 15,000-word profile in The Atlantic, capped a tumultuous year for CNN, marked by layoffs, historically low ratings, and rock-bottom employee morale.

In the wake of The Atlantic article, Licht apologized to staffers Monday, telling the global news organization in a somber tone that he did not recognize himself when reading portions of the story and that he was sorry for having distracted from the newsroom’s work.

Licht, who described the experience as “tremendously humbling,” vowed to “fight like hell” to win over the trust of employees.

But it became increasingly clear that Licht’s tenure as the chief executive was quickly coming to an end. Licht has not commented on his departure and he did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Zaslav said Licht’s job was “never going to be easy” and praised the “amazing career” he has had, wishing him well on his future endeavors.

“For a number of reasons things didn’t work out and that’s unfortunate,” Zaslav said. “It’s really unfortunate. And ultimately that’s on me. And I take full responsibility for that.”

Zaslav told CNN employees that the company is “in the process of conducting a wide search,” both internally and externally, for a new network chief. He cautioned that it will “take a while.”

In the interim, Zaslav said the leadership team will be comprised of Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent and content development; Virginia Moseley, executive vice president of editorial; and Eric Sherling, executive vice president of U.S. programming. David Leavy, who was recently installed as chief operating officer, will continue overseeing the company’s commercial activities.

“We have great confidence in this group and will fully support them until a new CEO is named,” Zaslav said in an emailed statement to CNN staff. “We are in good hands, allowing us to take the time we need to run a thoughtful and thorough search for a new leader.”

A tumultuous tenure

Licht’s brief and rocky tenure as the head of the network came after he found tremendous success in morning news, producing MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” before he revamped “CBS Sunday Morning.” Prior to joining CNN, Licht was the executive producer of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” leading the program as it became the highest-rated late-night show on television.

But at CNN, Licht stumbled and quickly faced criticism. Replacing Jeff Zucker, the former CNN leader who was beloved by staff, Licht’s first action at the network was to dismantle CNN+, which had been hailed by previous network leadership as the streaming future of CNN. Zucker was ousted in February 2022 for failing to disclose a relationship with a subordinate.

Unlike Zucker who held an office on a newsroom floor in CNN’s Hudson Yards office in New York, Licht separated himself from the network’s journalists, a move that isolated the chief from his staff.

Licht announced mass layoffs at CNN in December. But the town hall with Washed Up 45 last month that Licht orchestrated was widely criticized as a mistake. Licht faced a fury of internal and external criticism for the town hall, including from iconic anchor Christiane Amanpour during a Columbia Journalism School commencement speech.

Florida Mom Dies After A Woman Shot Through A Door! Were The Actions Racist?

Florida woman killed after a neighbor dispute turned fatal.

A white Florida woman is under arrest after she shot and killed a Black mother of four in Ocala. The shooting has attracted national attention. Civil rights attorney and activist Benjamin Crump is also representing the victim's family. Protests were held and there were demands for the shooter to be arrested. The suspect is identified as Susan Louise Lorincz, a 58 year old white woman who claimed the victim tried to break down the door and she shot through the door hitting the victim in the chest.

The suspect is going to claim the "stand your ground" law as an excuse for shooting an unarmed woman through the door after a confrontation. A 9-year old child was verbally and physically assaulted by the shooter. The victim confronts her which was a violent culmination of what police said was a 2½-year feud.

Ajike Owens, 35, was fatally shot after going to the Ocala apartment of her neighbor, who earlier had yelled at Owens’ children as they played nearby and threw a pair of skates that hit one of them, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods said at a news conference Monday.

Deputies responding to a trespassing call at the apartment Friday night found Owens suffering from gunshot wounds. The mother of four was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died. Ocala is about 70 miles (110 kilometers) northwest of Orlando.

I wish our shooter would have called us instead of taking actions into her own hands,” Woods said. “I wish Ms. Owens would have called us in the hopes we could have never gotten to the point at which we are here today.”

Since January 2021, Woods said, deputies responded at least a half-dozen times in connection with the feuding between Owens and the woman who shot her. The sheriff’s office hasn’t arrested or identified the shooter.

Woods said detectives are working with the State Attorney’s Office and must investigate possible self-defense claims before they can move forward with any possible criminal charges.

The sheriff pointed out that because of Florida’s “stand your ground” law, he can’t legally make an arrest unless he can prove the shooter did not act in self-defense.

Ajike's children witnessed their mother getting shot.

Before the shooting, Owens’ children had been playing in a field near the shooter’s apartment. When Owens later confronted the woman at her apartment, an argument ensued, and the woman shot Owens through the front door, according to police.

Crump said in a statement that the shooter had been yelling racial slurs at the children before the confrontation with their mother. Owens and her children are Black.

The sheriff’s office hasn’t confirmed there were slurs uttered or said whether race was a factor in the shooting.

Woods also said they haven’t interviewed Owens’ children, who witnessed the shooting, because investigators first want child therapists to work with them. Most of the information the deputies have is coming from the shooter, Woods said.

“There was a lot of aggressiveness from both of them, back and forth,” Wood said the shooter told investigators. “Whether it be banging on the doors, banging on the walls and threats being made. And then at that moment is when Ms. Owens was shot through the door.”

Woods was joined at his news conference by community leaders and a local attorney retained by the family, Anthony Thomas. Their singular message was a call for patience while the sheriff’s office conducted its investigation.

During a vigil with the family later Monday, Thomas said the sheriff had promised him the most professional service that he and his deputies could provide, and Thomas plans to hold the agency to that.

During the same gathering, Owens’ mother, Pamela Dias, said that she was seeking justice for her daughter and her grandchildren.

“My daughter, my grandchildren’s mother, was shot and killed with her 9-year-old son standing next to her,” Dias said. “She had no weapon. She posed no imminent threat to anyone.”

The suspect has no remorse.

The suspect is 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.

Cornel West Runs A Nina Turner 2.0 Campaign!

Will Shaun King be Cornel West's campaign advisor?

Former college professor now jumps into the presidential race. Some believe he is a spoiler and an op by Republicans to take Black votes away from President Joe Biden. This fool appears on Fox, Breitbart and numerous other right wing outlets as the "left." 

In reality, he's a leftist with an agenda to help Republicans so he can push the Democrats to the left.

Just like with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Cornel West is a controversial figure who turns activism into chaos. Far left extremists who align with far right folks like Tomi Lahren, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Steve Bannon.

West has held professorships and fellowships at Harvard University, Yale University, Union Theological Seminary, Princeton University, Dartmouth College, Pepperdine University, and the University of Paris. He was forced out because of his antics.

Now unemployed, West decided run for president on a third party ticket. 

“I have decided to run for truth and justice, which takes the form of running for President of the United States as a candidate for the People’s Party,” West said in a video announcement on Twitter launching the third-party presidential bid. 

As those very same leftists complain about Biden and Washed Up 45's age are cheering on West, a 70 year old leftist who has a following and a history of burnt bridges. The very same folks who have no concern about former 2020 candidate Bernie Sanders' age. The independent Vermont senator has endorsed Biden and he has no consideration of running in 2024.

"I enter in the quest for truth, I enter in the quest for justice, and the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that truth and justice — what I’ve been trying to do all of my life.”

Grifters alike.

West backed Sanders in 2016 and 2020. He backed Barack Obama in 2008 but ended up turning on him in 2012. Since then, West has been critical of Democrats and said it's okay if leftists sat it out or backed Washed Up 45.

West is similar to a notorious perennial candidate, former Ohio state senator and Bernie Sanders campaign official Nina Turner. 

Turner tried to run for a seat being vacated by Marcia Fudge who went on to join the Biden Administration. Turner, a bombastic figure took a lead and dwindled it down to an eventual defeat. Turner took all her energy to focus on a little known figure. She ended up making this little known special election a national race. Shontel Brown who focused on real issues instead of hot button topics won and is currently serving as a U.S. Representative for Ohio. Her win should have silenced Turner. 

Nope. Turner and West complain that race and big money played a role in the loss. Brown is Black and had little money at the time.

West decided to take aim at Biden.

In the campaign video, West included a clip in which he referred to President Biden as a “milquetoast neoliberal” and referred to Washed Up 45 as a “neofascist.” He explained his decision to run as a third-party candidate, saying, “neither political party wants to tell the truth about Wall Street, about Ukraine, about the Pentagon, about big tech.”

“Do we have what it takes? We shall see. But some of us are going to go down fighting, go down swinging, with style and a smile,” he said.

Robert Hanssen Passed Away!

The country's most notorious turncoat passed away.

The former FBI agent who worked as a foreign agent for the Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation passed away at the age of 79.

Robert Hanssen, a former top level FBI agent was perhaps the country's most notorious spies. He spent over 20 years giving secrets to the Russians. His information set back U.S. intelligence for 15 years.

He died while serving 15 consecutive LIFES in Florence Federal Time Out, the United States Supermax. He took a plea deal to avoid the DEATH card. 

Eventually, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange will be there. Foreign operative and Biden accuser Tara Reade will be eventually in Carswell, the high level federal time out for women.

In 1979, three years after joining the FBI, Hanssen approached the Soviet Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) to offer his services, beginning his first espionage cycle, lasting until 1981. He restarted his espionage activities in 1985 and continued until 1991, when he ended communications during the collapse of the Soviet Union, fearing he would be exposed. Hanssen restarted communications the next year and continued until his arrest. Throughout his spying, he remained anonymous to the Russians.

Hanssen sold thousands of classified documents to the KGB that detailed U.S. strategies in the event of nuclear war, developments in military weapons technologies, and aspects of the U.S. counterintelligence program. He was spying at the same time as Aldrich Ames in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Both Ames and Hanssen compromised the names of KGB agents working secretly for the U.S., some of whom were executed for their betrayal. Hanssen also revealed a multimillion-dollar eavesdropping tunnel built by the FBI under the Soviet Embassy. After Ames' arrest in 1994, some of these intelligence breaches remained unsolved. The FBI paid $7 million to a KGB agent to obtain a file on an anonymous mole, whom the FBI later identified as Hanssen through fingerprint and voice analysis.

Hanssen was arrested on February 18, 2001, at Foxstone Park, near his home in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Vienna, Virginia, after leaving a package of classified materials at a dead drop site. He was charged with selling U.S. intelligence documents to the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia for more than $1.4 million in cash and diamonds over twenty-two years. After his arrest, he was initially detained at the Alexandria Adult Detention Center. To avoid the death penalty, Hanssen pleaded guilty to fourteen counts of espionage and one of conspiracy to commit espionage. He was sentenced to fifteen life terms without the possibility of parole, and was promptly transferred to ADX Florence, where he remained incarcerated until his death in 2023.

Pence Pings In!

Buzz, buzz.

It's official, Michael Richard Pence is jumping into the 2024 Republican presidential primary race. He will face off against his old boss Washed Up 45. By the way, the former president confirms that Pence will not be his running mate if he gets the nomination.

Pence who was the 48th President of the United States, former Indiana governor, former House majority whip and talk radio host has filed his paperwork with the FEC on Monday.

Pence was in Iowa with former second lady Karen Pence. He took aim at the former president for his praise of North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un.

I am guessing his brother, Rep. Greg Pence (R-IN) will endorse his brother.

Pence was a far right talk radio host who operated out of Indianapolis, Dayton, Ohio and Columbus, Indiana. 

Pence, the nation’s 48th vice president, will formally launch his bid for the Republican nomination with a video and kickoff event in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday, which is his 64th birthday, according to people familiar with his plans. He made his candidacy official Monday with the Federal Election Commission.

While Washed Up 45 is currently leading the early fight for the nomination, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis polling consistently in second, Pence supporters see a lane for a reliable conservative who espouses many of the previous administration’s policies but without the constant tumult.

While he frequently lauds the accomplishments of the “Trump-Pence administration,” a Pence nomination in many ways would be a return to positions long associated with the Republican establishment but abandoned as the former president reshaped the party in his image. Pence has warned against the growing populist tide in the party, and advisers see him as the only traditional, Reagan-style conservative in the race.

A staunch opponent of abortion rights, Pence supports a national ban on the procedure and has campaigned against transgender-affirming policies in schools. He has argued that changes to Social Security and Medicare, like raising the age for qualification, should be on the table to keep the programs solvent — which both Washed Up 45 and DeSantis have opposed — and criticized DeSantis for his escalating feud with Disney. He also has said the U.S. should offer more support to Ukraine against Russian aggression, while admonishing “Putin apologists” in the party unwilling to stand up to the Russian leader.

Pence, who describes himself as “a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order,” has spent months laying the groundwork for an expected run, holding events in early voting states like Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire, visiting churches, delivering policy speeches and courting donors.

Washed Up 45 and Pence won in 2016. The two served one term in office.

Pence’s team sees Iowa and its evangelical Christian voters as critical to his potential path to victory. Advisers say he plans to campaign aggressively in the state, hitting every one of its 99 counties before its first-in-the-nation caucuses next year.

The campaign is expected to lean heavily on town halls and retail stops aimed at reintroducing Pence to voters who only know him from his time as the former president’s second-in-command. Pence served for more than a decade in Congress and as Indiana’s governor before he was tapped as Washed Up 45’s running mate in 2016.

As vice president, Pence had been an exceeding loyal defender of the former president until the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, when the former president falsely tried to convince Pence and his supporters that Pence had the power to unilaterally overturn the results of the 2020 election.

That day, a mob of Washed Up 45’s supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol building after being spurred on by the president’s lies that the 2020 election had been stolen. Many in the crowd chanted “Hang Mike Pence!” as Pence, his staff and his family ran for safety, hiding in a Senate loading dock.

Pence has called Washed Up 45’s actions dangerous and said the country is looking for a new brand of leadership in the 2024 election.

“I think we’ll have better choices,” he recently told The Associated Press. “The American people want us to return to the policies of the Trump-Pence administration, but I think they want to see leadership that reflects more of the character of the American people.”

Pence has spent the 2 1/2 years since then strategically distancing himself from the former president. But he faces skepticism from both anti-Washed Up 45 voters who see him as too close to the former president, as well as the former president's loyalists, many of whom still blame him for failing to heed Washed Up 45’s demands to overturn the pair’s election defeat, even though Pence’s role overseeing the counting of the Electoral College vote was purely ceremonial and he never had the power to impact the results.

Pence joins a crowded Republican field that includes the former president, DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, U.S. Sen Tim Scott of South Carolina, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie plans to launch his own campaign Tuesday evening in New Hampshire, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum will announce his bid Wednesday in Fargo.

With Washed Up 45, a thrice-married reality star, facing skepticism among some Republicans during his 2016 run, his pick of Pence as a running mate assuaged concerns from evangelical Christians and others that he wasn’t sufficiently conservative. As vice president, Pence refused to ever criticize the former president publicly and often played the role of emissary, trying to translate the former president's unorthodox rhetoric and policy proclamations, particularly on the world stage.

Another vice president wants to be president. Six vice presidents were elected as president. Joe Biden is currently a president and former vice president.

After Washed Up 45’s legal efforts to stave off defeat of the 2020 election were quashed by courts and state officials, he and his team zeroed in on Jan. 6, the date that a joint session of Congress would meet to formally certify President Joe Biden’s victory. In the weeks leading up to the session, the former president engaged in an unprecedented pressure campaign to convince Pence he had the power to throw out the electoral votes from battleground states won by Biden, even though he did not.

As the riot was underway and after Pence and his family were rushed off the Senate floor and into hiding, the former  president tweeted, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.” Video footage of the attack shows rioters reading Washed Up 45’s words aloud and crowds breaking into chants that Pence should be hanged. A makeshift gallows was photographed outside the Capitol.

Pence has said that Washed Up 45 “ endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day” and that history will hold him accountable.

Despite his harrowing experience, Pence opposed efforts to testify in investigations into Washed Up 45’s actions on and in the lead-up to Jan. 6. He refused to appear before the House committee investigating the attack and fought a subpoena issued by the special counsel overseeing numerous former president investigations, though he did eventually testify before a grand jury.

Only six former U.S. vice presidents have been elected to the White House, including Biden, who is running for a second term.

Republicans Pounce On Washed Up 45 Shout Out!

The former president praised North Korea's leader.

Think about it. If President Joe Biden did it.... the Republicans would go ape shit.

But anything Biden does the far right is going bonkers over it.

We expect this week that former vice president Mike Pence, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie and North Dakota governor Doug Burgum to enter the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race.

All the candidates are competing against the frontrunner Washed Up 45 who has already a large lead despite the amount of candidates, the controversies and the relentless media coverage, he is in a comfortable position to avoid Iowa.

The Republican candidates pounced on his praise of Kim Jong Un, the dictator of North Korea.

“Congratulations to Kim Jung [sic] Un!” Washed Up 45 wrote Friday on his social media platform, Truth Social.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Washed Up 45 administration, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized the former president’s post at Iowa GOP Sen. Joni Ernst's “Roast and Ride” event Saturday in Iowa.

Washed Up 45 believex Kim Jong Un would listen to him.

“Kim Jong Un is a thug and a tyrant, and he has tested ballistic missiles against our allies,” Haley told NBC News. “He’s threatened us. There’s nothing to congratulate him about. I mean, he’s been terrible to his people. He’s been terrible to America, and we need to stop being nice to countries that hate America.”

DeSantis said he was “surprised” Washed Up 45 praised Kim, whom he called a “murderous dictator.”

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is expected to announce a presidential bid this week, criticized his former running mate for congratulating Kim.

“Whether it's my former running mate or anyone else, nobody should be praising the dictator in North Korea or praising the leader in Russia, who has launched an unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine,” Pence said Saturday in an interview with Fox News. “This is a time when we ought to make it clear to the world that we stand for freedom and we stand with those who stand for freedom.”

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson also piled on the former president in a tweet Saturday: “Kim Jong-Un, the tyrant dictator in North Korea should not be praised by Donald Trump for a leadership role in the World Health Organization. We sanction leaders who oppress their people. We do not elevate them on the world stage.”

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who has ruled out running for president but recently hosted a private donor retreat to raise money for GOP candidates, joined the fray as well. “Taking our country back from Joe Biden does not start with congratulating North Korea’s murderous dictator,” he tweeted.

Kemp drew the former president’s ire after he refused to push baseless claims of election fraud in Georgia.

Washed Up 45 campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung attacked DeSantis in a statement, arguing that the Iowa event, which the former president did not attend, would not affect his status as the front-runner.

He filed paperwork.

"President Trump achieved peace through strength and, as a result, no new wars were started under his presidency. On the other hand, Ron DeSantis is a puppet of the establishment war mongers and doesn’t have the strength, fortitude, or will to stand up against America’s adversaries," Cheung said. "In Iowa there were far better candidates than DeSantis who didn’t come across as an awkward and wooden swamp-like knock off of Jeb Bush."

He also touted the former president's record on the economy, energy, the southern border and foreign policy.

In 2019, the former president became the first sitting U.S. president to step onto North Korean soil since the 1953 armistice divided the peninsula, after having met with Kim twice before.

During his presidency, Washed Up 45 claimed that he had “developed a very, very good relationship” with Kim.

“We’ll see what that means,” the former president said in remarks to governors in February 2019. “But he’s never had a relationship with anybody from this country and hasn’t had lots of relationships anywhere.”

Kim also heaped praise on Washed Up 45 in a letter to the White House before a summit between them in Vietnam in 2019 while making it clear he wished to negotiate only with the former president and not his envoys, current and former U.S. officials said at the time.

Chuck Todd Out!

Chuck Todd is stepping down from Meet the Press.

After nine years of moderating Meet The Press, Chuck Todd announced he will step down and NBC News will appoint Kristen Welker as his replacement.

Todd has been hammered by media critics for not fact checking guests and putting more Republicans on than Democrats. He will remain on until transition.

“It’s been an amazing nearly decadelong run. I am really proud of what this team and I have built over the last decade,” Todd said during the broadcast Sunday. “I’ve loved so much of this job, helping to explain America to Washington and explain Washington to America.” 

He plans to remain at NBC in a new role as chief political analyst, where he will serve as a key voice both in the field and during coverage of major events. He will also focus on long-form journalism.

“When I took over ‘Meet the Press,’ it was a Sunday show that had a lot of people questioning whether it still could have a place in the modern media space,” Todd added. “Well, I think we’ve answered that question and then some.”

In a memo to staff members, NBC News’ president of editorial, Rebecca Blumenstein, and NBC News’ senior vice president of politics, Carrie Budoff Brown, hailed “Chuck’s thoughtful and passionate leadership.”

“‘Meet the Press’ has sustained its historic role as the indispensable news program on Sunday mornings,” Blumenstein and Budoff Brown said. “Through his penetrating interviews with many of the most important newsmakers, the show has played an essential role in politics and policy, routinely made front-page news, and framed the thinking in Washington and beyond.”

Welker joins the ranks of hosts that included Tim Russert, who presided over the show from 1991 until his death in 2008. She is the second woman — following its inaugural host, Martha Rountree — and the first Black journalist to moderate “Meet the Press.”

“Meet the Press” is the longest-running show on American television, celebrating its 75th anniversary last year. It has led its rival shows in total viewers for more than eight years and won its first Emmy during Todd’s tenure for a special report titled “Schools, America, and Race.”

Todd was at the helm of the show during some of the most seminal political events of the last decade — including the final years of President Barack Obama’s administration, the 2016 presidential campaign and the election of  Donald Trump, and the aftermath of the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

In one of the most memorable interviews of the early Trump era, Todd asked Kellyanne Conway, one of Trump’s top aides, why then-White House press secretary Sean Spicer used his first appearance in the briefing room to dispute reports about the crowd size at the inauguration. Conway replied that Spicer was providing “alternative facts” — a turn of phrase that quickly became synonymous with the Trump administration’s attitude toward facts and the news media.

In response, Todd said: “Look, alternative facts are not facts. They’re falsehoods.”

Todd — the 12th moderator of “Meet the Press” and a five-time Emmy-winning journalist — saw himself as a custodian of the show. “I don’t own this, I’m just house sitting,” he said during a 75th anniversary celebration in Washington last year. “I want to leave it in better shape for the next person, and every person has done that.”

Kristen Welker will be new host in Fall.

Welker has regularly filled in for Todd on “Meet the Press.” In his remarks during Sunday’s broadcast, Todd said he was ready to step back in part because Welker has been “ready for this for a long time.”  

“I’ve had the privilege of working with her from essentially her first day, and let me just say she’s the right person in the right moment,” he said.

Welker joined NBC News in 2010 and became a mainstay in the White House briefing room. She’s covered the last three presidential elections, traveled around the world with top political leaders, and moderated the final 2020 debate between Trump and President Joe Biden. In 2020 she was named the co-host of “Weekend Today.”

“She has masterfully moderated primary and general election presidential debates and her sharp questioning of lawmakers is a masterclass in political interviews,” Blumenstein and Budoff Brown said in their memo to staff members. “She is a dogged reporter who relishes getting big scoops and is widely admired throughout the bureau and the network for her deeply collaborative nature.”

Welker will take over the show as the 2024 presidential campaign heats up and prepares to enter the primary season. The first GOP debate is scheduled for Aug. 23, the Republican National Committee announced last week.

Todd took over “Meet the Press” in September 2014, succeeding David Gregory, expanding the program’s broadcast and digital footprint to include a weekly podcast, a blog and an annual film festival. In addition to the Sunday program, he helped launch and hosted “MTP Daily,” a weekday version of the show that aired on MSNBC before moving to the streaming service NBC News Now last year.

He previously served as NBC News’ chief White House correspondent and host of the MSNBC series “The Daily Rundown.” Before arriving at NBC, Chuck was editor-in-chief of The Hotline, a political news and commentary website, where he developed a reputation as an incisive elections analyst with a quick command of data.

Puerto Ricans Are U.S. Citizens! 🇵🇷 🇺🇸

Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since but some still treat them as foreigners.

Two incidents involving Puerto Ricans being called foreigners. 

Kroger has issued an apology after a man visiting Savannah, Georgia from Puerto Rico had his driver's license denied as a valid form of ID by a cashier.

Ricardo Florit went to the Kroger on Ogeechee Road back on May 21 to pick up some groceries.

"I bought basically $160 worth of groceries, just regular stuff. Between the items, though, there was one bottle of wine and one beer," Florit said.

When the cashier asked to see Florit's ID, he presented his Puerto Rico driver's license.

Florit said, "Here's the thing, as soon as I whip it out, he seems to recognize it. He says, 'I can't accept that, I need to see your passport.'"

Florit said he immediately tried to correct the situation by assuring the cashier he is a U.S. citizen who has actually served in the U.S. Military.

"I said, 'Listen. It's a valid driver's license legal in 50 states.' And he says, 'Oh, I know. We used to accept them, but we changed our policy. We no longer do.'"

Florit said he ended up calling over the manager.

"I made it a point to tell her I served this military for 18 years, I have been up and down the states left and right, north and bottom and I know it's just as valid an ID," he said.

After some back and forth, he said the manager did allow him to purchase the items, but Florit still left the store feeling frustrated.

He sent an email to Kroger representatives, as a result, to inform them of the incident. He said the response he got was very basic, but he could understand why.

"I know that, unfortunately, in the world we live in, people do try to do things to gain an edge for lawsuit or gain money and whatnot, so I am not offended it did not straight out give an apology," Florit said.


There was another incident in May at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Kenner, Louisiana. A Puerto Rican man who attempted to rent a car at the New Orleans airport last week was denied because he did not have a passport. 

Humberto Marchand told CBS News that he'd already paid for a rental car when he landed at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on May 9. But when he presented his Puerto Rican driver's license to an employee at the Hertz rental car counter, he said he was asked for a valid passport. The employee insinuated that Marchand is foreign and said he couldn't rent a vehicle without showing his passport, Marchand told CBS News. 

Hertz said in a statement emailed to The Times-Picayune|New Orleans Advocate that Puerto Ricans are not required to show their passports when renting cars in the U.S. 

"We sincerely regret that our policy was not followed and have apologized to Mr. Marchand and refunded his rental," Hertz said in the statement. "We are reinforcing our policies with employees to ensure that they are understood and followed consistently across our locations.”

Video recorded by Marchand shows a Hertz employee asking him to leave. When he refuses, she asks him if he wants her to call the police.

A Kenner Police Department officer responded to the reported disturbance at 11:37 p.m. and also asked Marchand to leave, according to Cpt. Michael Cunningham, a spokesperson for the department. 

Marchand told CBS that as he was leaving, the officer said he would call "the border authorities" if necessary.

Cunningham denied that claim.

"We viewed body cam footage of the officer's encounter and nowhere in video does officer mention Border Patrol, ICE, Immigration or anything of that nature during his encounter," Cunningham said in an emailed statement. 

Rep. Jenniffer Gonzales-Colon (R-PR) is the resident commissioner for Puerto Rico.

President Joe Biden is the current leader of the United States. He is also the head of state of the five occupied U.S. territories. Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) have advocated for U.S. voting rights expansion and those living in the territories to vote for president.

If you rent a vehicle, you must have a valid U.S. or Canadian identification.

If you win a jackpot at a casino in the United States, a valid U.S. identification is needed.

That includes passports, military IDs and state/territorial identification. 

The five occupied U.S. territories, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa have a total population of 4.3 million.

The territories have a governor and a U.S. Representative who is a non voting delegate.

In Puerto Rico, their representative is a resident commissioner who serves a four year term.

Puerto Rican statehood has been a controversial topic. Republicans are racist. They do not want Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia statehood due to minority majority and the possible Democratic swing.

Those living in these places (except American Samoa) are U.S. Citizens. Those living in American Samoa are not U.S. citizens. They are U.S. nationals and are required to have a U.S. passport to enter the mainland. That is controversial due to traditionalist culture and the Organic Act of 1898.

Those living in the U.S. territories cannot vote in the U.S. presidential elections.

You do not need a passport to visit Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands. You need a passport to enter Guam (case by case basis) and American Samoa (since U.S. Customs and Border Protection is not available and America Samoa has their own customs).

Although a U.S. territory, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is self autonomous. The territory is debating over it should be a state or an independent country. 

It has it's own Olympic organization and is recognized as a country in the Winter and Summer games. The Olympics also has athletes representing American Samoa and Guam.

Republicans oppose voting rights in the U.S. territories as well as statehood for Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

Puerto Rico has a population of 3.4 million people. The territory's main languages are Spanish and English. Spanish is spoken by 89% of the territory.

Chris Licht's Days Numbered At CNN!

Chris Licht losing his edge.

Cable news CEO Chris Licht has lost trust among CNN staff and Warner Bros. Discovery's controversial CEO David Zaslav. Licht best known for helping build The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Morning Joe. 

Licht had led CNN further down the pit. 

While hyperpartisan networks like Fox and MSNBC have generated ratings with endless banter about Washed Up 45, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, CNN struggled to generate a fair share of the banter.

CNN has allowed Washed Up 45 a platform to spread endless bullshit. The moderator Kaitlin Collins gets promoted after being called a "nasty woman." It riled up all the CNN staff. They thought it was totally incompetent to allow the former president go on lying without being fact-checked.

Licht fired Robin Meade, Jeffrey Toobin, John Harwood, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon and Brian Stelter. Demoted many of its notable contributors and told hosts to keep partisan coverage limited.

Tim Alberta of the The Atlantic wrote that Licht took a gamble a lost.

The story is called, "INSIDE THE MELTDOWN AT CNN: CEO Chris Licht felt he was on a mission to restore the network's reputation for serious journalism. How did it all go wrong?"

Oliver Darcy, CNN Media Correspondent and Stelter's former protege was scolded by Licht when he discussed the frustration among CNN staff. They are angry that Zaslav wanting to make CNN as bombastic as Fox.

Fox managed to lose $787.5 million after reporting lies. CNN is losing ratings because they want to be stale and non partisan. They eliminated HLN, gave more airtime to misleading figures and hired Charles Barkley to be paired with Gayle King.

CNN is a trainwreck.

The Anti-Vaxxers Says Jamie Foxx Is Blind From The Vaccine!

Get well, Jamie.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the far right once again prove to the world that they are idiots.

They ain't doctors or scientists. They are far right morons.

Jamie Foxx has yet disclosed the reasons why he spent weeks in the hospital. Even I thought he was in dire straits.

The entertainer has remained out of the spotlight since his incident but it has not stopped speculation and concerns that he may have a permanent issue.

Again, there is no proof that any of the coronavirus vaccines caused any dangerous side effects. It does cause mild pain and you may experience drowsiness.

During an appearance on Dr. Drew Pinsky's online show 'Ask Dr. Drew,' former New York Daily News gossip columnist A.J. Benza made allegations that Jamie Foxx experienced a stroke, leading to partial blindness and paralysis as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine.

While Benza lacks medical credentials, Benza asserted that Foxx suffered from a blood clot in his brain due to the vaccine and implied that he was compelled to get vaccinated for his role in the Netflix film, Back in Action. 

"Jamie had a blood clot in his brain after he got the shot. He did not want the shot, but in the movie he was in, he was pressured to get it. The blood clot in the brain caused him at that point to be partially paralyzed and blind," he was quoted as saying to the podcaster.

He stated that his information came from an anonymous source.

Foxx was hospitalized on April 11th following a medical complication, and in early May, he released a statement expressing appreciation for the support he had received. 

Subsequently, his daughter confirmed that he was in the process of recovery and was engaging in activities like playing pickleball.

Further investigations and medical expertise are required to establish a conclusive link.

There is no evidence that the coronavirus vaccines has caused any dangerous side effects.

The most known is a mild pain and possible drowsiness.

Mom Of The Year!

No loot. No whip. No kids. No freedom.

Florida.

Enough said.

An Orlando area mother faces a handful of charges after her children were injured in a car fire outside the shopping mall in the suburb of Oviedo. The Seminole County Sheriff's Department has announced that they arrested the mother for negligence and of course shoplifting.

While her car was on fire, the woman went into the Oviedo Mall to shoplift with an unknown male accomplice. The suspect would soon realize her escape vehicle was on fire.

The woman would drop her pilfered goods and try to rescue the children.

Alicia Moore, 24, had parked her car on May 26 near a Dillard’s store at the Oviedo Mall. When she parked the car, Moore left her two children inside and went into the store.

Security at the store saw Moore and an unidentified man shoplifting for about an hour before leaving, the news outlet reported.

When Moore and the man got outside, she saw her car in flames, dropped the stolen merchandise, and ran to her car, according to WFTV.

Florida mom loses her car, her children and possibly her freedom.

Shoppers at the mall saw the fire and ran to try to help the two children get out of the car, according to the arrest report obtained by CNN. Both children had multiple first-degree burns to their faces and ears. They were taken to the hospital for treatment.

Moore was arrested by police for outstanding warrants in other counties. She was also charged with neglect of a child with great bodily harm and first-degree arson, WFTV reported.

Being that the fire happened during a commission of a felony, which is why Moore is facing an arson charge, according to the news outlet.

Investigators have not been able to figure out the cause of the car fire but found that if Moore was not neglectful then the children would not have been injured, police said according to CNN.

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

Suspect faces up to five years if convicted.
