That Wasn't Hamas! [NSFW]

This evil man must be stopped.

Be warned, there are graphic images.

Note: This is an opinion piece that may be flagged due to allegations of violations.

Please report any community guidelines. However, make sure you have evidence that I committed such violations. 

Israel denies striking a Gaza Hospital. Outrage grows and President Joe Biden is going over to kiss the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu's ass.

The attack on the hospital kills over hundreds. This amount to a war crime and it should prompt a UN investigation. Israel is solely responsible. 

Those "I Stand with Israel 🇮🇱 " folks better have some goddamn sympathy for those victims.

Hamas ain't using human shields. Stop the propaganda. 

The president was to meet with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, Jordan King Abdullah II and Egyptian president de facto Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. This is canceled.

They finger the Israeli Defence Force as the culprit.

Biden will keep the "Israel has the right to defend itself" charade going.

In a statement, President Biden said: "I am outraged and deeply saddened by the explosion at the Al Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, and the terrible loss of life that resulted. Immediately upon hearing this news, I spoke with King Abdullah II of Jordan, and Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and have directed my national security team to continue gathering information about what exactly happened.

"The United States stands unequivocally for the protection of civilian life during conflict and we mourn the patients, medical staff and other innocents killed or wounded in this tragedy."

Biden will now visit only Israel, a White House official said.

The explosion at the al-Ahli Hospital left gruesome scenes. Video that The Associated Press confirmed was from the hospital showed fire engulfing the building and the hospital grounds strewn with torn bodies, many of them young children. The grass around them was strewn with blankets, school backpacks and other belongings.

The bloodshed unfolded as the U.S. tried to convince Israel to allow the delivery of supplies to desperate civilians, aid groups and hospitals in the tiny Gaza Strip, which has been under a complete siege since Hamas’ deadly rampage in southern Israel last week. Hundreds of thousands of increasingly desperate people were searching for bread and water.

Where is the outrage from pro Israeli propagandanists like Ritchie Torres?

Hamas called Tuesday’s hospital blast “a horrific massacre,” saying it was caused by an Israeli strike.

The Israeli military blamed Islamic Jihad, a smaller, more radical Palestinian militant group that often works with Hamas. The military said Islamic Jihad militants had fired a barrage of rockets near the hospital and that “intelligence from multiple sources” indicated the group was responsible.

Reminder: Intelligence did not see the Saturday attack from Hamas. The Israeli government also pushed the beheaded Israeli babies, the "top secret" Hamas plans, the Hamas manual to kill Jews, the rape of women and children. They had time to criticize Bella and Gigi Hadid. They had time to share pictures of hot women working with the IDF. They shared pictures of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), a [proud] Zionist and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), the Flipper. 

But let's use the "We had all the 'intelligence' and know it was ________.  It wasn't us!"

In a briefing with reporters, the chief army spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said the army determined there were no air force, ground or naval attacks in the area at the time of the blast. He said radar detected outgoing rocket fire at the same moment, and intercepted communications between militant groups indicated that Islamic Jihad fired the rockets.

This is not Hamas or whatever Israeli propaganda claim it was. The IDF struck a hospital in Gaza City in a deliberate act of terrorism and it is a war crime.

Hagari also shared aerial footage collected by a military drone that showed a blast that he said was inconsistent with Israeli weaponry. He said the explosion occurred in the building’s parking lot, and he noted that the death toll could not be confirmed.

Again, Israel is best known for propaganda and they peddle misinformation regularly.

Since the war began, the military said in a statement that roughly 450 rockets fired at Israel by militant groups had landed in Gaza, “endangering and harming the lives of Gazan residents.”

Islamic Jihad dismissed those claims, accusing Israel of “trying hard to evade responsibility for the brutal massacre it committed.”

The group pointed to Israel’s order that Al-Ahli be evacuated and its previous bombing of the hospital complex as proof that the hospital was an Israeli target. It also said the scale of the explosion, the angle of the bomb’s fall and the extent of the destruction all pointed to Israel.

Hundreds of Palestinians had taken refuge in al-Ahli and other hospitals in Gaza City in past days, hoping they would be spared bombardment after Israel ordered all residents of the city and surrounding areas to evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip.

Ambulances and private cars rushed some 350 casualties from the al-Ahli blast to Gaza City’s main hospital, al-Shifa, which was already overwhelmed with wounded from other strikes, said its director, Mohammed Abu Selmia. The wounded were laid onto bloody floors, screaming in pain.

“We need equipment, we need medicine, we need beds, we need anesthesia, we need everything,” Abu Selmia said. He warned that fuel for the hospital’s generators would run out within hours.

Before the al-Alhi Hospital deaths, Israeli strikes on Gaza killed at least 2,778 people and wounded 9,700, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and nearly two-thirds of those killed were children. Another 1,200 people across Gaza are believed to be buried under the rubble, alive or dead, health authorities said.

More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians who were slain in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The assault also resulted in some 200 being taken captive into Gaza. Hamas militants in Gaza have launched rockets every day since, aiming at cities across Israel.

Biden will not condemn Israel.

Hundreds of Palestinians flooded the streets of major West Bank cities including Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority, where protesters hurled stones at Palestinian security forces who fired back with stun grenades. Others threw stones at Israeli checkpoints, where soldiers killed one Palestinian, West Bank authorities said.

Elsewhere, hundreds of people joined protests that erupted in Beirut, Iraq and Amman, where an angry crowd gathered outside the Israeli Embassy.

In Amman, a palace statement said Jordan’s king condemned “the ugly massacre perpetrated by Israel against innocent civilians.”

The king “warned that this war, which has entered a dangerous phase, will plunge the region into an unspeakable disaster,” the statement said.

With tens of thousands of troops massed along the border, Israel has been expected to launch a ground invasion into Gaza, but its plans remained uncertain.

“We are preparing for the next stages of war,” military spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said. “We haven’t said what they will be. Everybody’s talking about a ground offensive. It might be something different.”

Throughout the day Tuesday, airstrikes killed dozens of civilians and at least one senior Hamas figure in the southern half of the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military told fleeing Palestinians to go. An Associated Press reporter saw around 50 bodies brought to Nasser Hospital after strikes in the southern city of Khan Younis.

The Israeli military said it was targeting Hamas hideouts, infrastructure and command centers.

An airstrike in Deir al Balah reduced a house to rubble, killing a man and 11 women and children inside and in a neighboring house, some of whom had evacuated from Gaza City. Witnesses said there was no warning before the strike.

The Western Media cannot hide from this.

Shelling from Israeli tanks hit a U.N. school in central Gaza where 4,000 Palestinians had taken refuge, killing six people and wounding dozens, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency said. At least 24 U.N. installations have been hit the past week, killing at least 14 members of the agency’s staff.

A barrage of strikes crashed into the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, leveling an entire block of homes and causing dozens of casualties, residents said. Among those killed was one of Hamas’ top military commanders, Ayman Nofal, the group’s military wing said. He is the highest-profile militant to have been killed in the war.

In Gaza City, Israeli airstrikes also hit the house of Hamas’ top political official, Ismail Haniyeh, killing at least 14 people. Haniyeh is based in Doha, Qatar, but his family lives in Gaza City. The Hamas media office did not immediately identify those killed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to put the blame on Hamas for Israel’s retaliatory attacks and the rising civilian casualties in Gaza. “Not only is it targeting and murdering civilians with unprecedented savagery, it’s hiding behind civilians,” he said.

With Israel barring entry of most water, fuel and food into Gaza since Hamas’ brutal attack, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken secured an agreement with Netanyahu to discuss creation of a mechanism for delivering aid to the territory’s 2.3 million people. U.S. officials said the gain might appear modest, but stressed that it was a significant step forward.

Still, as of late Tuesday, there was no deal in place. A top Israeli official said his country was demanding guarantees that Hamas militants would not seize any aid deliveries. Tzahi Hanegbi, head of Israel’s National Security Council, suggested entry of aid also depended on the return of hostages held by Hamas.

More than 1 million Palestinians have fled their homes — roughly half of Gaza’s population — and 60% are now in the approximately 14-kilometer (8-mile) long area south of the evacuation zone, the U.N. said.

At the Rafah crossing, Gaza’s only connection to Egypt, truckloads of aid have been waiting to enter for more than a day. The World Food Program said it had more than 300 tons of food ready to cross into Gaza.

Washed Up 45 Won Over Flockaveli!

Another rapper backs Washed Up 45.

Washed Up 45 got the backing of a trap rapper who has not released an album in over 10 years. As stated before in previous postings, Black men are no longer reliable to the Democratic Party. As many of them are abandoning the party to join the cult of MAGA.

Black men are typically more homophobic and driven by the noise of social media platforms telling them that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris ain't doing a damn thing for Black America.

Black voters 55 and older often support the Democrats in higher numbers,

Blacks between 25 and 54 are dropping off. Thanks to Candace Owens, Ye and a handful of agitators, the Republicans managed to wrangle four House members and one Senator.

They have a nominee in Kentucky's gubernatorial race. They have a Lieutenant Governor in Virginia, a mayor who switched parties in Dallas, 13 active members running for the House, several in local races and several running for president.

Waka Flocka Flame is the latest rapper on the MAGA. In 2016, he backed Hillary Clinton but since 2020 and now 2024, the Atlanta based rapper is endorsing Washed Up 45.

Sexy Redd, Chief Keef, Lil Pump, Teddy Riley, Ice Cube, Ye and other entertainers in hip hop are known or confirmed supporters of the former president.

This may have to do with Black nationalism. With Republicans capitalizing off the immigration debate and the need to push for authoritarianism, Blacks believes the best path to freedom is separation.

They seriously think Washed Up 45 came the closest to giving reparations.

During the pandemic, Washed Up 45 gave free money and raise the debt up. 

Republicans are working a ground game to recruit Blacks voters. Democrats have to reclaim the votes they've lost or risk failure in 2024.

Washed Up 45 touts out washed up rapper.

I am definitely not voting Republican in the presidential election. But due to this crisis in the West Bank and the Democrats refusal to hold Israel accountable for war crimes, I may not vote Democrat in the 2024 presidential election.

Republicans support genocide. The Democrats support genocide but tell us that we have to give it time. No more time is needed. Boot Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli officials out. 

End the occupation and apartheid. 

Form a coalition government and give the Palestinians their land back.

End border walls and the xenophobia. End the anti-semitism and Islamophobia.

End the racism towards Black people.

I don't vote because of a hasbeen rapper told me to. I vote on issues.

Who's Ass Is Biden Kissing?

Biden is on the wrong side of history. The Israeli occupation must end.

Free Palestine 

End the occupation and apartheid.

President Joe Biden and Congress are on the wrong side of history. Our interest should be supporting democracies but alas, we are allied with fundamental theocracies.

The "I Stand With Israel" President will appear alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday to show solidarity with the war crimes and apartheid regime.

So now I am calling it "IsreHELL" because they are evil.

Biden's visit will mark a significant show of U.S. support for its top Middle East ally after Hamas gunmen killed 1,300 people during a rampage through southern Israeli towns on Oct. 7, the deadliest single day in Israel's 75-year history.

Israel has responded by tightening its blockade on Hamas-ruled Gaza, including by restricting the entry of fuel, and bombarding the area with air strikes that have killed thousands of Palestinians and displaced hundreds of thousands more.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken concluded hours of talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv early on Tuesday by saying that Biden would visit Israel.

"The president will hear from Israel what it needs to defend its people as we continue to work with Congress to meet those needs," Blinken told reporters.

Biden would meet with Netanyahu, reaffirm Washington's commitment to Israel's security, and receive a comprehensive brief on its war aims and strategy, Blinken said.

"(The) president will hear from Israel how it will conduct its operations in a way that minimizes civilian casualties and enables humanitarian assistance to flow to civilians in Gaza in a way that does not benefit Hamas," Blinken added.

Blinken also said he and Netanyahu had agreed to develop a plan to get humanitarian aid to Gaza civilians. He did not provide details.

After visiting Israel, Biden would travel to Jordan to meet with King Abdullah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, U.S. national security spokesperson John Kirby said.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus meet with Netanyahu.

Gaza authorities say more than 2,800 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since Oct. 7, around a quarter of them children, and more than 10,000 wounded are in hospitals desperately short of supplies.

Israeli officials say that as well as the casualties Hamas inflicted, the Iran-backed group also took some 199 captives back into Gaza.

A top Hamas leader said on Monday the group "has what it needs" to free all Palestinians in Israel's jails, indicating it may try to use the Israelis it kidnapped on Oct. 7 as bargaining chips to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners.

Soon after Hamas official Khaled Meshaal made the remarks on the captives, who include Israelis and non-Israelis, the group's armed wing separately said the non-Israelis were "guests" who would be released "when circumstances allow."

Hamas released a video on Monday in which a French-Israeli woman captive was shown having her injured arm treated by an unidentified medical worker. She identified herself as 21-year-old Mia Schem and asked to be returned to her family as quickly as possible.

IRAN WARNS OF 'LONG-TERM WAR'

Biden's trip is a rare and risky choice, showing American backing for Netanyahu as the U.S. tries to avert a broader regional war involving Iran, its Lebanese ally Hezbollah and Syria. It comes as Israel is preparing a ground offensive in Gaza expected to intensify the enclave's humanitarian crisis.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told state TV that Israel would not be allowed to act in Gaza without consequences, warning of "preemptive action" by the "resistance front" in the coming hours.

Iran refers to regional countries and forces opposed to Israel and the United States as a resistance front.

Progressives believe the U.S. should end military funding to Israel. Biden ignores them.

"All options are open and we cannot be indifferent to the war crimes committed against the people of Gaza," Amirabdollahian said. "The resistance front is capable of waging a long-term war with the enemy."

Last week, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tehran was not involved in the Hamas attack on Israel, but hailed what he called Israel's "irreparable" military and intelligence defeat.

In the biggest sign yet that the war could spread to a new front, Israel ordered the evacuation on Monday of 28 villages in a 2-km-deep (1.2-mile) zone near the Lebanese border.

'VICTORY WILL TAKE TIME'

Diplomatic efforts have concentrated on getting aid into Gaza through the Rafah crossing with Egypt, the sole route that is not controlled by Israel. Cairo said the Rafah crossing was not officially closed but was inoperable due to Israeli strikes on the Gaza side.

On the military front, the U.S. has deployed two aircraft carriers and their supporting ships to the eastern Mediterranean since the attacks on Israel. The ships were meant as a deterrent to ensure the conflict did not spread, U.S. officials said.

The top U.S. general overseeing American forces in the Middle East, Central Command chief Army General Michael "Erik" Kurilla, made an unannounced trip to Israel on Tuesday, saying he hoped to ensure its military has what it needs.

Iran's foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian warns Israel that any strike on their land will result in swift retaliation. Amir-Abdollahian demands the UN to investigate Israel for war crimes.

As Israel masses troops on Gaza's border, it has told more than a million people in the northern half of the enclave to flee to the southern half for their safety, even though Hamas has told them to stay put.

While tens of thousands have fled south, the United Nations says there is no way to move so many people without causing a humanitarian catastrophe.

The United Nations says a million Gazans have already been driven from their homes. Power is out, sanitary water is scarce and fuel for hospital emergency generators is running low.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told Netanyahu on Monday that Moscow wanted to help prevent a humanitarian disaster. A Russian-drafted U.N. Security Council resolution that would have called for a humanitarian ceasefire failed to get the minimum nine votes needed in the 15-member body on Monday.

Netanyahu said Israelis should prepare for a long battle.

"Now we are focused on one target: to unite forces and charge forward to victory. This requires determination because victory will take time," he told the Israeli parliament on Monday.

"And I have a message for Iran and Hezbollah, don't test us in the north. Don't make the same mistake you once made. Because today the price you will pay will be much heavier."

White Extremist Murders Boy Because He Hates Muslims!

Wadea Al-Fayoume was stabbed by a white terrorist who pushed by propaganda from Israel and the junk food media.

The Western junk food media is pushing Israeli propaganda. I am calling it out. I cannot watch or listen to ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, BBC or NewsNation. They are literally taking the words of the Israeli government and parading this like its factual.

The 40 beheaded babies story was bogus.

The top secret plans that Hamas was going to strike a school was bogus.

The manual to target Jews is bogus.

The reason why Hamas struck Israel were simple: The longstanding occupation, the defacing of the al-Aqsa Mosque, the settlements built on stolen land, Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption, settlers killing Palestinians, the world leaders constantly taking Israel's side and the treatment of Palestinian women and children.

Israel is pushing a nonstop campaign of misinformation. They are trying their best to push influencers to denounce the Free Palestine movement and the BDS movement.

They are trying to stifle protests by equating support of Palestinians to terrorism.

They are saying that support for Palestinians is supporting Hamas.

They are falsely claiming that Hamas is the Islamic State. 

Israel has shutdown water, electricity, fuel, medicine and food supplies. The U.S. is silent on this. It is a war crime and President Joe Biden refuses to acknowledge it.

He now has to deal with the extremism in the U.S.

Biden reacted to the murder but still atone to Netanyahu's corruption and his ongoing war crimes.

In Plainfield, Illinois, a 71-year old white extremist who is Jewish is facing murder charges. The U.S. Justice Department may slap federal hate crime charges on this terrorist. That could make him eligible for the DEATH card.

The terrorist was a landlord to a housing unit. He broke into a home and stabbed a 6-year-old boy to death and seriously injured his 32-year-old mother after targeting them because they were Muslim and the man was upset about the ongoing conflict involving Hamas and Israel, the Will County Sheriff’s Office and the family’s relatives said Sunday.

Joseph Czuba, 71, of Plainfield, was charged with first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, two counts of hate crimes and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.

At a news conference held Sunday by the Chicago office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations relatives identified the victims as Hanaan Shahin and her son Wadea Al-Fayoume. For the past two years, mother and son had lived on the ground floor of the house the terrorist owned without incident, relatives said.

The stabbing occurred shortly before noon Saturday at a residence in the 16200 block of South Lincoln Highway in Unincorporated Plainfield Township.

A woman had reportedly called 911 saying she was in the bathroom defending herself from her landlord as he attacked her with a knife, police said.

Terrorist was arrested. Victims managed to put some shiners on him.

Law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene found the terrorist sitting outside on the ground near the driveway, with a laceration to his forehead, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies then located the victims in a bedroom inside the residence. Both had multiple stab wounds to their chest, torso and upper body. Police initially reported the boy was 8 years old but were later able to determine he was 6 years old. The boy was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition, where he was later pronounced dead.
After a Sunday autopsy, a forensic pathologist determined the boy had been stabbed 26 times, police said.

Ahmed Rehab, executive director of CAIR-Chicago, said Hanaan Shahin related the attack to her ex-husband, Oday Al-Fayoume, via text from her hospital bed.

On Saturday, the landlord knocked on her door as he’d done many times before, so she had no reason to be suspicious, Rehab said. But Shahin said when she answered, the terrorist reportedly choked and stabbed her.

Shahin also told Al-Fayoume the landlord had yelled “you Muslims must die” as he attacked her.

She was able to escape to the bathroom and call for help. When she came out, just seconds later, she discovered her son had been stabbed dozens of times.

The Will County Coroner’s Office Laurie H. Summers said in a statement Sunday that the boy was pronounced dead at 12:19 p.m. at Ascension St. Josephs Medical Center in Joliet. An autopsy was performed on Sunday, the coroner’s office said in the statement. On Saturday, the 32-year-old woman was transported in serious condition with over a dozen stab wounds to a local hospital where she was recovering from her injuries and is expected to survive, the sheriff’s office said Sunday.

After being treated and released from a hospital, the terrorist was transported to the Will County Sheriff’s Office Public Safety Complex for questioning. The sheriff’s office said that, even though he did not make any statements regarding the attack, detectives were able to gather enough information through interviews to charge the terrorist.

The terrorist has been transported to the Will County Adult Detention Facility and is awaiting his initial court appearance, the sheriff’s office said.

According to Rehab, when Al-Fayoume talked about his son he said “he was a 6-year-old — he loved everything. He loved everybody. He loved his toys. He loved basketball, soccer. He loved to color. He loved to swing around. He loved his parents. He loved his family and his friends. He loved life.”

”He paid the price for the atmosphere of hate, otherization and dehumanization that, frankly, I think we’re seeing here in the United States as a result of irresponsible leadership and lopsided, one-side statements and coverage we’re seeing in the media, elected officials, all across,” Rehab said.

The family left the city of Beitunia in Palestine’s West Bank a decade ago to escape violence, but after the Saturday attack, Al-Fayoume told Rehab that violence had “chased them all the way to the United States.”

”I ask you: what level of blind hatred can cause such an act? And for us to reflect under which conditions such an act can occur,” Rehab said. “We need to take collective responsibility for how we, as a civilized democratic nation, can engage in a complex conversation about a complex issue and not erase Palestinian lives, not erase Palestinian victimhood, not erase the suffering of the Palestinian people.”

Suzanne Somers Passed Away!

Suzanne Somers died before her birthday.
Actress and writer Suzanne Somers passed away from cancer at the age of 76, one day before her birthday. The actress is best known for her role as Chrissy on the 1970s sitcom Three's Company. She also is known for her role on Step by Step.

Somers was known for her abrupt departure from the series after a feud with directors and John Ritter. She asked for more money and of course they denied her that and fired her during filming of the fifth season. They only obligated a few episodes which included her in another set with no contact with Ritter, Don Knotts and Joyce DeWitt. 

It was true, men saw sex appeal with Somers. She felt that her putting on mini skirts, booty shorts, mid calf or knee high boots and tied blonde hair brought focus on the show and it should come with a price. 

She and DeWitt patched up in 2012 after 30 years of not speaking to one another.

Somers patched up her feud with Ritter shortly before his death.

She also had written books and done exercise videos for the ThighMaster.

Somers had breast cancer for over 23 years and died Sunday morning, her family said in a statement provided by her longtime publicist, R. Couri Hay. Her husband Alan Hamel, her son Bruce and other immediate family were with her in Palm Springs, California.

“Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16th,” the statement read. “Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly.”

In July, Somers shared on Instagram that her breast cancer had returned.

“Like any cancer patient, when you get that dreaded, ‘It’s back’ you get a pit in your stomach. Then I put on my battle gear and go to war,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “This is familiar battleground for me and I’m very tough.”

She was first diagnosed in 2000, and had previously battled skin cancer. Sommers faced some backlash for her reliance on what she’s described as a chemical-free and organic lifestyle to combat the cancers. She argued against the use of chemotherapy, in books and on platforms like “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which drew criticism from the American Cancer Society.

Somers was born in 1946 in San Bruno, California, to a gardener father and a medical secretary mother. Her childhood, she’d later say, was tumultuous. Her father was an alcoholic, and abusive. She married young, at 19, to Bruce Somers, after becoming pregnant with her son Bruce. The couple divorced three years later and she began modeling for “The Anniversary Game” to support herself. It was during this time that she met Hamel, who she married in 1977.

She began acting in the late 1960s, earning her first credit in the Steve McQueen film “Bullitt.” But the spotlight really hit when she was cast as the blonde driving the white Thunderbird in George Lucas’s 1973 film “American Graffiti.” Her only line was mouthing the words “I love you” to Richard Dreyfuss’s character.

Three's Company became a smash with John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers.

At her audition, Lucas just asked her if she could drive. She later said that moment “changed her life forever.”

Somers would later stage a one-woman Broadway show entitled “The Blonde in the Thunderbird,” about her life, which drew largely scathing reviews.

She appeared in many television shows in the 1970s, including “The Rockford Files,” “Magnum Force” and “The Six Million Dollar Man,” but her most famous part came with “Three’s Company,” which aired on ABC from 1977 to 1984 — though her participation ended in 1981.

On “Three’s Company,” she was the ditzy blonde opposite John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt in the roommate comedy. In 1980, after four seasons, she asked for a raise from $30,000 an episode to $150,000 an episode, which would have been comparable to what Ritter was getting paid. Hamel, a former television producer, had encouraged the ask.

“The show’s response was, ‘Who do you think you are?’” Somers told People in 2020. “They said, ‘John Ritter is the star.’”
She was promptly phased out and soon fired; Her character was replaced by two different roommates for the remaining years the show aired. It also led to a rift with her co-stars; They didn’t speak for many years. Somers did reconcile with Ritter before his death, and then with DeWitt on her online talk show.

But Somers took the break as an opportunity to pursue new avenues, including a Las Vegas act, hosting a talk show and becoming an entrepreneur. In the 1990s, she also became the spokesperson for the “ThighMaster.”

Step by Step cast included Suzanne Somers, Patrick Duffy, Staci Keenan and Christine Lakin.

The decade also saw her return to network television in the 1990s, most famously on “Step by Step,” which aired on ABC’s youth-targeted TGIF lineup. The network also aired a biopic of her life, starring her, called “Keeping Secrets.”

Somers was also a prolific author, writing books on aging, menopause, beauty, wellness, sex and cancer.

She was a staunch supporter of Washed Up 45 and said that it could kill her career.

Somers was an avid boot lover. She designed footwear and clothes for women and girls.

Piper Laurie Passed Away!

Piper Laurie passed away from natural causes.

Since this is October, Halloween is closing in. The season for horror movies and sweets is approaching fast. I am reminded of the Stephen King novel Carrie which was adapted into a Brian De Palma motion picture.

The movie released in 1976 features Sissy Speck, John Travolta and Piper Laurie.

Piper Laurie was best known as the religious fanatic Margaret White who was an antogonist to Carrie White, a shy teen who gained telakentic powers. Carrie used the powers to extract revenge on high school bullies and her mother.

A great horror film.

Piper has passed away at the age of 91.

Piper Laurie died of old age (natural causes) on Saturday, her manager Marion Rosenberg confirmed to the Associated Press. In an email to the outlet, Rosenberg described the star as a ""a superb talent and a wonderful human being."

In 1961, Laurie earned her first Oscar nomination for her turn as Paul Newman's alcoholic girlfriend Sarah Packard in the poolhall drama "The Hustler." Laurie and Newman had previously appeared in 1957’s "Until They Sail" but the actress told Fox News Digital in 2022 that they never really interacted until they starred together in "The Hustler."

"That’s when I was really confronted with that beauty, those spectacular eyes," she remembered. 

Laurie shared that "it was a great gift to be part of a wonderful film" and she "enjoyed every moment of it."

Piper at age 18.

In her interview with Fox News Digital, Laurie said that she didn't attend the Academy Awards that year since she didn't expect to win. She recalled that she watched the ceremony over dinner with her husband and mother-in-law in New York City. 

"I was thrilled I didn’t go," she said. "And of course, I didn’t win. Not with Sophia Loren’s performance. I mean, my goodness, was it even a debate?"

Laurie's next Oscar nomination came in 1976 when she starred as Sissy Spacek's fanatically religious, abusive mother Margaret in the film adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel "Carrie."

"I think it was a terrific movie," she told Fox News Digital in 2022. "At first, I didn’t know if it was a comedy or what. I remembered I tried some things during rehearsal, and I was told, ‘Piper, I don’t think you could do that. You’re gonna get a laugh!’"

She continued, "We were all supposed to take this seriously. But I played my role very big and flashy. And I guess in some ways, it still turned out to be funny."

"I will say, my daughter’s friends were very young and easily frightened. When they would come to visit, they would not look at me in the face! They would just go straight to her room," Laurie recalled with a laugh.

Piper Laurie's iconic role as movie villain Margret White.

Laurie scored her third Academy Award nomination for her performance as a young deaf woman in the 1986 romantic drama "Children of a Lesser God."

In addition to her film work, Laurie earned accolades for her roles in television series and TV movies. She received nine Emmy Award nominations, including two for her performance as the villainous lumber mill manager Catherine Martell in David Lynch’s series "Twin Peaks." In 1991, she won a Golden Globe Award for her role as Martell.  

Laurie won her only Emmy Award after starring alongside James Woods and James Garner in the 1986 TV movie "Promise." She was last nominated for an Emmy Award in 1999, when she appeared as a guest star in the sitcom "Frasier."

Born Rosetta Jacobs, Laurie arrived in Hollywood in 1949 and was quickly given a contract with Universal-International, a new name that she hated and a string of starring roles with Ronald Reagan, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis, among others.

Laurie made her debut at 17 in "Louisa," playing Reagan’s daughter, then appeared opposite Francis the talking mule in "Francis Goes to the Races." She made several films with Curtis, whom she once dated, including "The Prince Who Was a Thief," "No Room for the Groom," "Son of Ali Baba" and "Johnny Dark."

Dissatisfied with the roles that she was being offered, Laurie walked out on her $2,000-a-week contract in 1955.

She moved to New York, where she found the roles she was seeking in theater and live television drama.

After earning Emmy nominations for her roles in "Days of Wine and Roses," "The Deaf Heart" and "The Road That Led After," Laurie made her return to film when director Robert Rossen cast her in "The Hustler."

However, Laurie stepped away from acting for several years after "The Hustler." She married film critic Joseph Morgenstern, welcomed a daughter, Ann Grace, and moved to a farmhouse in Woodstock, New York. She said later that the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War had influenced her decision to make the change.

Carrie is considered a classic horror movie. It was added to the U.S. Film Registry at the Library of Congress.

"I was disenchanted and looking for an existence more meaningful for me," she recalled, adding that she never regretted the move.

"My life was full," she said in 1990. "I always liked using my hands, and I always painted."

Laurie also became noted as a baker, with her recipes appearing in The New York Times.

In 1964, Laurie made guest appearances in the TV series "The Eleventh Hour" and "Breaking Point." She went on to star in the 1965 Broadway revival of "The Glass Menagerie."

Laurie returned to the big screen after director Brian de Palma approached her to star in "Carrie." After earning an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the movie, which became a box office smash, Laurie's desire to act was rekindled, and she resumed her career for the next several decades.

Her other television credits included roles on "Matlock," "Diagnosis Murder," "Murder, She Wrote" "Touched by an Angel," "Law and Order: SVU" and "Will and Grace." She played George Clooney’s mother Sarah Ross on "ER" in 1995.

Laurie also starred in a number of films including "Appointment With Death," "Other People’s Money," "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway," "Storyville," "Rich in Love," "Trauma," "The Crossing Guard." "The Grass Harp," "The Faculty," "Eulogy," "The Dead Girl" "Houndog" and "Hesher."

She played Grandma Verna Wershe in the 2018 crime drama "White Boy Rick," which would become her final film role.

Laurie and Morgenstern divorced in 1982. The actress is survived by her daughter Ann Grace.

Fundamental Change Starts When Biden Calls Out Israel For Its War Crimes!

Fundamental change is standing up to bullies. Israel is a bully and Biden hides behind it.

Benjamin Netanyahu needs a talk with my adopted son, the folding chair. He gonna to find out why the actions he does will forever tarnish his slimy name.

To tell Gazans to leave their homes within 24 hours before ground forces invade and air strike continue is a war crime. 

Stopping food, water, fuel, medicine, electricity and sewage is a war crime. 

Killing journalists (especially wearing vests marked "press") is a war crime. 

Intentionally bombing homes, hospitals, ambulances and shelters for refugees is a war crime.

To strike in Syria and Lebanon without warning and inflicting harm on their sovereignty is a war crime.

President Joe Biden, you promise to be a fundamental change president. I stood with you throughout the countless allegations of senile behavior. The allegation of sexual assault from Russian operative Tara Reade. The claims of corruption by you and son Hunter Biden. The conspiracy theories about inappropriate behavior between you and daughter Ashley Biden. The conspiracy theories about how you being in the back pockets of foreign leaders.

I fought the noise of Republicans, far right media agitators, far left media agitators and online troll farms. I may not fight the battle much longer.

Vice President Kamala Harris, you said you were for the people. I backed you and Michael Bloomberg for president. I supported Joe Biden because of you were the pick for vice president. I worked the grounds during the pandemic to ensure my family and some of my friends backed Biden for president. I defended you when some questioned your Blackness. I supported you for being a candidate for change.

Not anymore.

Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris let me down. I may not support their reelection bid. It is a harsh reality to see a good president take a hard line stance to a geopolitical issue like Israel.

Your honest opinion on Israel. What is your opinion of the country? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)

I believe that Israel deserves the right to defend itself from foreign threats. The United States, the European Union and Canada should stand with Israel. Israel has a right to exist. Anyone who attacks Israel is anti-semitic and gives support the terrorists.
Israel takes our taxpayer money and then slaps us in the face with accusations of not supporting them. I am getting to the point where I am sick and tired of hearing about Israel. They are brutalizing the people of Palestine. They need to be held accountable. 
The United States is not a friend to Israel. I believe Benjamin Netanyahu will find comfort getting what he wants with President Joe Biden.
President Joe Biden will bend over backwards for Israel. I believe Benjamin Netanyahu will push Biden into another war on fear and bigotry.
I believe that Palestinians deserve the right to their land. Israel continues to commit war crimes. The Israeli government continues to build settlements despite the world warning them that it could cause tension with the Arab world.
I don't care what goes on in Israel, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip.


Biden hates Benjamin Netanyahu. I don't understand why he is willing to cut a blank check to a war criminal who is literally saying he is ethically cleansing indigenous people.

On top of that, their "intelligence" can't determine whether Hamas is even active. We don't know their leaders. They have no military operations like Israel.

Younger voters are not supportive of the American-Israeli alliance. They believe that the solution to create two states is bullshit. The progressive wing of the Democratic Party believe the United States government is giving too much money to Israel. The progressives believe they are being unfairly targeted by pro-Israeli lawmakers and influence peddlers. 

For every time the world condemns the actions of Israel, American lawmakers and allies of the Israeli lobby are trying to marginalize it. They are so quick to calling critics of Israel anti-Semitic.

Again, agitators continues to throw around these bogus claims anti-Semitism every time a person dares to criticize Israel.

Fuck that shit.

I can say I want Israel wiped off the map and not be anti-Semitic.

I don't have no problems with Judaism or the Jewish people. I don't have no problem with any religion. I do have a problem with governments imposing forced religion and forced allegiance on Americans.

I condemn white terrorism and all forms of terrorism in general. I condemn all forces of racism, bigtory and hate.

I despise conservatives, libertarians, concern trolls and "freedom" lovers.

To compare Israel to Judaism is the definition of anti-Semitism.

Do you believe criticism of Israel and it's policies amount to being anti-Semitic? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers and offer the most stupidest responses)

Yes. Any criticism of Israel is anti-Jewish. Israel has a right to exist in the Middle East. The attacks on Israel done by Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are very concerning to me. They need to understand that Israel is defending itself from terrorism and daily attacks. President Joe Biden supports the Jewish state. Benjamin Netanyahu did the right thing to ban them from entry.
No. This strategy of calling critics of Israel anti-Semitic is ridiculous. We are allowed to criticize the government without fear of losing our jobs, funding and support. The American government provides nearly $350 billion in taxpayer money for Israeli's defense. We should evaluate our support. Israel continues to ignore U.N. warnings about treatment of Palestinians. We need to hold them accountable.
Other
Please Specify: 

Israel isn't the Jewish state. It's a democratically elected independent nation that receives nearly $350 billion in American taxpayer funds. About 2/3 of that funds goes to Israeli's defensive grid.

Israel is a country that routinely violates the United Nations by building settlements on the West Bank and denying people in the Gaza Strip access to clean water, fuel, energy, medicine and food.

The Gaza Strip is considered an open air prison. The land 25 miles long and less than 8 miles wide. It has over 2.5 million people residing there. Most are children. They have an average income of $200 (US). 

They are placed under an Israeli and U.S.-led international economic and political boycott because of the free elections placing Hamas in power.

People are not allowed to enter or leave the Gaza Strip or freely import or export goods from the Gaza Strip. The Israel government can freely go into the Gaza Strip without any repercussions.

By the way, I thought the United States hated religious theocracies. They certainly hate the Islamic State from ever being formed. They complain about the Islamic Republic of Iran. They never criticize the 10 brutal governments in the African Union, the 20 brutal governments in Eurasia and five in South America. The U.S. is quick to sanction these governments.

Why can't Israel be sanctioned?

Louisiana Goes Republican!

Democrats slept on this race and the Republicans won.

The Deep South has Republican governors. 

Republicans managed to reclaim Louisiana after the state attorney general Jeff Landry surpassed the 51 percent threshold. The state has an open jungle primary where it does not matter who is on the ballot, the candidates who achieves the most advances.

Since Landry achieved the threshold he becomes governor-elect.

Landry competed alongside more than a dozen other people in the jungle primary, in which candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party. If no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, the race would have headed to a runoff between the top two vote-getters. But because Landry won more than half the vote as of late Saturday night, he is projected to win the race outright.

Democrats did not put money into this race. The state is too Republican and despite the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to redraw the state's congressional district map, Louisiana refuses to do it and now with a Republican governor, it will be a longtime of legal wrangling before they finally get a fair representation map.

Nonetheless, Black voters must of supported Landry. I said that Black men are not reliable to the Democrats. More Black men are voting Republican. 

Damn shame.

Landry, a hard-right Republican with the backing of Washed Up 45 was widely viewed as the favorite heading into Saturday, many political observers expected him to face off against Democrat Shawn Wilson for a second round of voting in November.

His strong showing on Saturday gives the GOP — and in particular the party’s conservative, populist wing — a sense of momentum heading into November, where the party is looking to win in two other red-state gubernatorial elections, in Kentucky and Mississippi.

Landry will succeed Gov. John Bel Edwards, the only sitting Democratic governor in the Deep South, who is term-limited. Bel Edwards was a conservative Democrat.

Wilson, Landry’s chief opponent and a former Transportation secretary, was running to become Louisiana’s first Black statewide elected official since Reconstruction. But observers acknowledged the challenges he faced, especially in regards to voter turnout.

“Democratic turnout has been weak,” Louisiana-based pollster John Couvillon told The Hill earlier this week.

“Normally, early voting tends to favor Democrats, and Republicans as of Saturday night cumulatively have a plus-5 lead,” said Couvillon, who usually works with Republicans.

Chief among the warning signs was low turnout among Black voters, a key constituency for Democrats in the Pelican State.

Cliff Albright, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, criticized members of the Democratic Party for not putting more resources into the race.

“There’s really no discussion, and more importantly, very little lack of investment in voter mobilization,” Albright told The Hill. “That includes the party itself not putting a lot into this election, which, unfortunately, is a pattern that we’re seeing in Southern states in general and particularly in states that have Black candidates.” 

In order to get an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, there has to be 34 states to ratify.

That means 2/3 of states. 

Republicans control 27 states and have the potential to flip Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and New Mexico. If the Republicans managed to win a majority in state legislature and governorships, they can fundamentally change the U.S. Constitution.

Arab League, United Nations And African Union Condemn Israel!

Pro Israeli propaganda on Drudge.
I will not support the Democratic Party in 2024. I will not support Republicans either.

Until, they acknowledge the atrocities in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, I will not push for the party's victory in 2024. I mean it is difficult to support the party incumbent when they are wrong and they are literally trying to surpress opposition to the status quo.

I am torn. I love President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Jamie Lee Curtis, Tara Strong, Fran Drescher, Mayim Bialik, Mark Hamill, Keith Olbermann and Ari Melber.

On this Israel-Gaza Strip issue, they are wrong..... and this is going to be a wake up call to how I see people I don't know personally or listening to the constant propaganda that suits immoral interests. 

They are on the wrong side of history. They support colonialism, apartheid and a one sided approach in global issues. The years of being oppressed and the defacing of the al-Aqsa Mosque were the reasons for this.

We are one week into the Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip. Last week, Hamas launched a strike on settlements in southern Israel and it led to violent deaths. 

Hamas, the sole governing body of the Gaza Strip is a militant group. The Western media claims of it being a terrorist organization has also come into question as well.

The Israeli government has launched an assualt on the Gaza Strip in an attempt to ethnically cleanse the region in a Nakba. The corrupt leader, Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to "eliminate" Hamas.

Netanyahu is under criminal investigation for corruption. He is trying to distract from his attempts to reform the Israeli Supreme Court. He is also trying to build settlements in the West Bank despite pleas from world leaders to cease the construction.

The Israeli propaganda has influenced American lawmakers, media personalities and entertainers. They see pictures of destruction in the Gaza Strip and mistaken it as Israel.

They see crying people and dead babies and post "I Stand with Israel! 🇮🇱" in their postings. It is the Palestinians who are crying and the pictures of dead babies. When called out, they delete it, double down and block critics.

President Joe Biden went on television to condemn Hamas for beheading babies. He claimed he never thought he seen the day he would see babies being beheaded. Turns out, he got his intelligence from the same folks who did not expect Hamas to launch its strike.
Carlos Latuff draws the truth.

After being embarrassed by the claim, Biden took a tone suggesting that Hams is the issue not the 2.5 million living in the Gaza Strip. Yet, Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinkin, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) meet with Netanyahu, Israeli president Issac Harzog and the right wing government.

Israeli officials tipped off Biden and lawmakers with this bogus allegation. No concrete evidence of beheaded babies. The UN is not allowed to see areas in Israel. 

Sean "Softball" Hannity, one of the reasons why the Republicans can't govern had his mistress Sara A. Carter to interview Pro Palestinian protesters. She confronted an American veteran and he literally told her that she is full of shit. Carter tried to pepper gotcha questions on him and he demanded that show proof or go away.

Israeli forces killed UN workers, struck exit points and civilians, struck in Lebanon, threatened Egypt if they allow resources, issued a blockade and cut off necessities to Palestianians. 

All war crimes.

Now, the African Union (AU) Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat expressed "utmost concern" at the outbreak of violence that has had "grave consequences" for the lives of Israeli and Palestinian people.

Mahamat emphasized the failure of long-term international efforts to solve the crisis, saying “The Chairperson wishes to recall the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, particularly that of an independent and sovereign State, is the main cause of the permanent Israeli-Palestinian tension.”

Morocco’s King Mohammed VI called for an emergency meeting of the Arab League Council at the headquarters in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the deteriorating situation, saying the Kingdom of Morocco “expresses deep concern” while condemning the “attacks against civilians wherever they may be.”

In the "extraordinary session" of Arab League Nations, Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, emphasized Morocco’s “full and unwavering support” for Palestine, describing the political deadlock over the Palestinian issue as a “persistence of systematic violations and oppressive unilateral measures in Al-Quds and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”

Algeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs too expressed support for Palestine, saying it is following “with deep concern the escalation of barbaric Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has cost the lives of dozens of innocent children of the Palestinian people, who have fallen as martyrs to the stubbornness of the Zionist occupation in its policy of oppression and persecution imposed on the valiant Palestinian people”.


South Africa has also called for the cessation of violence, adding the region is in urgent and “desperate need of a credible peace process.”

South Africa also urged resumption of talks on a two-state solution:

“[South Africa] seeks to ensure a lasting and durable peace that produces a viable, contiguous Palestinian State, existing side-by-side in peace with Israel, within the 1967 internationally recognised borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital," in a statement issued by the government.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that South Africa is ready to help mediate in the conflict, saying “South Africa stands ready to work with the international community and to share our experience in mediation and conflict resolution as we have done on the continent and around the world.”

Meanwhile, Nigeria called for a "de-escalation and ceasefire" through dialogue, adding it was “deeply concerned” by the outbreak of violence.

“The cycle of violence … only serves to perpetuate an unending cycle of pain and suffering for the civilian population that bear the brunt of every conflict,” Nigerian officials warned.
