Benzino: No Neck And No Shell! 🐢

Eminem is getting Raymond "Benzino" Scott a little change.

Raymond Scott, a former rapper known as Benzino came out of the YMCA to record a response to Lyrical Lemonade and Eminem's Doomsday Pt. 2.

Scott holds the record of longest beef with a rapper. The single Vulturius is a response to Em's rapid fire aimed at the disgraced entertainer. Scott has been recklessly talking about Em for years despite the feud entirely being one sided. The agitator finally got Em to respond to him and he's been trying to bag that coin.

This feud is over 20 years old and it never ended. Scott in one breathe said that the feud is over but in the next breathe it's "fuck Eminem."

Scott is the estranged father of well known rapper Coi Leray.

Here's the lyrics.

[Intro]
Yo, Eminem should be called Skittles
Sweet ass muh'fucka

[Verse]
Candy-ass Eminem, bitch-ass Feminine
Mad he lack melanin, all Valium'd up again
Aw, shit, here we go, Benzino vs Jim Crow 
Know a custy when I see one, how many times you overdose?
Cracker on crack who rap, but hate black in this show
Invade our culture then insult us, time you get exposed
Lil' ho, diss Mariah, Christina, Michael, or Britney?
What kinda fuck go to war with people dancin' and singin'?
Don't fuck with 50, and keep it a buck, you ain't tough
Your baby mom could get a bag like how Cassie did Puff
If they read your lyrics in the court like they did Young Thug
From the drugs, choppin' her up, corpse in the trunk
You a punk, plan my funeral, please, you shoot who?
Square ain't even go circle the block for Proof
And the truth, my daughter had a life that I never had
I'm prob'ly more Boston George than America's Dad
But I provide it, food, clothes, gifts kept you excited
Now you let the industry really lynch, keep us divided
But back when I got indicted in and out of court fightin'
You was in a pretty home with something foreign to ride in
Of course I tell you hate your father he could never find his
Trailer park swine bitch, shit, you're miserable and you're 'lone
And we think that they cloned you
You look weird, don't care how much Just For Men they put on you
Never seen with a girl, never seen with a bitch
But got a song "What If I Was Gay" with Joyner Lucas

Some see this as a step up for Scott. Given that he has never achieved anything memorable in his years of being a hip-hop act, Scott finally gave Em a real reason to respond. 

That Proof line will certainly get the attention of hip-hop fans. Proof was a member of D12 and Em's best friend. The rapper was killed in 2005 after a dispute inside a Detroit bar.

Scott rehashed his old gripes at Em. He also took aim at his daughter claiming he done so much for her and she's disrespecting him.

Eminem is going to eventually respond to Scott again.

Scott, known for his reality TV appearances on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and Marriage Boot Camp, has yet to address feedback or announce the release date of The Antidote. He hinted at more diss tracks targeting Eminem affiliates like 50 Cent, Royce da 5'9", and Joyner Lucas.

Scott had claimed in March 2022 that their beef was over but has continued to take digs at Eminem in public.

  48. He is caught on social media talking to a transgender model/activist. He begged for forgiveness towards Shauna Brooks because he had a relationship with her.
  49. He admitted he used a dildo on himself. The allegations go back about 10 years ago.
  50. He has already sabotaged his son Yung Chavo's career by dragging on the Eminem feud.
  51. He was relentless trolled on social for his D'Angelo-themed "The Bigger Picture" video.
  52. He has many videos on YouTube and none of them cracked over 500,000 views.

  54. He used to own a nightclub, a sports bar, a clothing line and a music label. All of those projects have failed or he's lost them to health violations.
  55. He does a celebrity boxing match to make a little change cause his rap career is pretty much over.

  61. He has no Twitter account.
  62. He is considered the worst rapper in modern history.
  63. He has no neck.
  64. He has no fame.

I am certain that Scott will be talking about this for months. To this day, Scott blames Em, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, Angie Martinez, Funkmaster Flex, Julia Beverly, Kim Osorio, Mr. Gzuz, Coi Leray,  Real World Police, Althea Hart, Stevie J, Joseline Hernández, Mona Scott, NoLifeShaq, The Evolve, Crypt, DJ Vlad, Busta Rhymes, Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones III, DJ Mister Cee, Star, Angela Yee, Wendy Williams and even his old friend Dave Mays for his fucked up situations.

Scott said that no one in the hood plays Eminem's music. He said Em's music is trailer trash and his fans voted for Donald J. Trump. He said thinks Em rhymes "masturbater in the elevator" whenever he's on the mic.

Tell me: 

Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Benzino song? 

Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?

In closing, Benzino: No Neck and No Shell!

Y'all Upset Over Comparisons To The Holocaust! Get Upset Over The 30,000 Dead In Gaza!

Israel continues war crimes. They disguise themselves as hospital staff and raided a West Bank hospital. Hamas doesn't control the West Bank.

Many of these folks are so tone deaf and blind to the facts. They are so mouthy over words and not actions. 

See no evil.
Hear no evil.
Speak no evil.

Did you know that American, Canadian, Australian, British and French companies are trying to fire people from their jobs of they support the Palestinians or compare the Israeli assaults on Gaza, the West Bank, Syria and Lebanon as a Holocaust?

Sky News has issued an apology after a presenter compared Israel’s war against Hamas with the Holocaust.

In a heated interview with Danny Danon, former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, presenter Belle Donati drew comparisons between calls for the voluntary migration of Palestinians from Gaza and the plight of Jewish people during the Holocaust.

Danon described the comments as a “shameful, anti-Semitic equation”.

He added: “This is pure anti-Semitism what you just said, comparing the Holocaust to what’s happening today in Gaza. Shame on you for this behavior.”

In a statement broadcast on air later this afternoon, Sky News said: “Sky News recognizes the complete inappropriateness of this comparison and the offensive nature of those comments.

“Sky News would like to apologize unreservedly for the comparison and to Danon personally for making the comparison.”

A spokesman for Sky News declined to comment on whether any disciplinary action would be taken against Donati.

The comments came during a heated exchange with Danon, who is a member of Israel’s Knesset and previously served as deputy defense minister.

They already upset over the phrase genocide.

Israel carried out a strike inside a hospital in the West Bank. They claimed they killed three top commanders for Hamas (note it is unconfirmed). The wore disguises and infiltrated a hospital. Another war crime and the Israeli had the audacity to claim Hamas does this too.

Also, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had the audacity to call for a FBI investigation into pro Palestinian protests. What is so sad, many of those folks were sympathetic to her when Paul Pelosi was attacked by an extremist. While the far right and Elon Musk were making claims of a gay affair with hammers, those very same folks who supported her debunked it and pushed for X to lose ad revenue because of it.

Pelosi is one of the many lawmakers who take donations from AIPAC, the largest lobbyist group in the country. It has been notorious in pushing for propaganda for Israel. It also assist in funding proxy groups like the Anti-Defamation League and J Street.

The pro Israeli lobby is trying to stifle free speech by comparing criticism of Israel to anti-Jewish or anti-semitism. It is has been effective in getting people terminated (fired out the cannon).

Now, folks are rising up against the phony outrage and pushing back.

Israel is slowly losing grip on American politics. President Joe Biden is a testament of it.

He is declining in polls thanks to his hardline stance and relentless support for Israel.

Israel has so far ignored the International Court of Justice ruling to restrain from killing civilians. They decided to strike revenge by making a bogus allegation that members of the UNRWA have worked with Hamas and planned the Oct. 7 resistance. The U.S., Great Britain, Canada and the European Union halted funding to the UNRWA as many world leaders are demanding Israel stop the humanitarian aid blockade.

The U.S. can't confirm whether an Iran-backed drone strike killed three Black soliders who were at the Syrian-Jordan Station 22. The U.S. normally had tracking devices and systems to detect the drones. Why it did not prevent it from striking? 

Israel has often dragged the U.S. and Great Britain into these conflicts. 

Israel has often used tactics like false flags and faulty intelligence to instigate conflicts.

Pelosi blaming Russia for the Gaza conflict is ridiculous. Israel is solely responsible for this and its regime has been leading a genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid on behalf of the West. The East and Global South are tried of the U.S., Great Britain and European Union always meddling and using the "Us versus Them" crap.

AIPAC is pouring millions into ousting members of The Squad. It is clear that these coordinated stories fr

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is insufferable. But I strongly support her stance when it comes to Israel. Apparently the U.S. Justice Department is looking into her campaign funds being spent on her private security which is ran by her bodyguard now husband.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) made a blog criticizing the 9/11 attacks and criticizing Israel before he became a lawmaker. I guess I may be exposed too if I decided to run for Congress too.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) spoke at a conference for Somali Americans and it appears the "America First and then Israel" folks are calling for her to be deported and stripped of her congressional duties.

Biden could end this by cutting funding to Israel. He won't do it because he fears the Republicans and AIPAC using it as a weapon to call him weak.

Biden is losing young, Black and Arab Americans. He has to end up winning 270 electoral votes. Losing Michigan, Arizona, Georgia will put him at risk of barely winning. 

Members of the Israeli government are calling for TV networks to fire critics.

Sky News, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, CBC, PBS, ITV, France 24, DTV and Newsnation have hosts and commentators who criticize Israel. They have faced backlash from Israel, Republicans, Democrats and the White House.

So the Holocaust is only regarded as sacred when it comes to the 6 million people killed by the Axis of Germany, Italy and Japan.

The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland.

Israel is creating it's own Holocaust by killing civilians in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and other places. They are driving the U.S. into this conflict and it will drain us of resources.

No Easy Road!

Lauren Boebert's mom fixes her dress. Boebert faces a difficult road ahead when it comes to winning her reelection. 

The year of losers in 2024.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) announced in November her intention to run for the seat being vacated by Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO). Many were shocked and angered by her decision.

She represented the 3rd Congressional District and barely won against conservative Democrat Adam Frisch. Now that she took the challenge to the 4th Congressional District, the constituents ain't buying the hype.

The 4th District, meanwhile, is a solidly Republican district that has elected a Democratic House member only once in the past 50 years. 

But the results of the straw poll Thursday, which followed the first debate among GOP candidates running for that district, indicates Boebert may have an uphill battle. 

Colorado Politics reported that Boebert’s finish in the middle of the nine-candidate pack drew some gasps and some shrugs. She received 12 votes from debate attendees, about 10 percent of the total.

Ahead of her were Logan County Commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg with 22 votes, former Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch with 20 votes, Douglas County filmmaker Deborah Flora with 18 votes and state House Minority Whip Richard Holtorf with 17 votes, the outlet reported.

The straw poll included only candidates who attended the debate and is not considered a scientific poll of the district, such as one a polling firm would perform. 

Boebert defended her decision to switch districts during the debate, against accusations of carpetbagging, saying she and her family needed a “fresh start.” 

“There are many folks that cannot vote for me, and I vote for them each and every day. The crops may be different in Colorado’s 4th District, but the values are not, and I’m a proven fighter for the values that you all believe in — that you want to secure your rights, your children’s future,” she said.

Tammy Klein, the organizer of the debate, told Colorado Politics that only two-thirds of those who attended the debate participated in the straw poll, which she said was disappointing. 

“In all honesty, I don’t think the candidates had time to rally all their supporters to buy tickets, especially with as many candidates as there were,” she said.

The outlet reported that some candidates’ campaigns bought a bloc of tickets, but Klein said no one campaign packed the event with supporters.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) trolled the insufferable lawmaker on X.

“Before I go to bed, I thought it would only be fitting to send “thoughts & prayers” to my colleague, Lauren Boebert,” Crockett wrote on the former Twitter. “It’s my understanding that she placed 5th in her first straw poll of the election cycle. Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t matter… of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump!”

Boebert need to fix her life instead of running for Congress.

Jayson Boebert, has been charged with assault and other counts in connection with two domestic altercations, including an argument with the congresswoman in a restaurant that spiraled out of control, and a fight with the former couple’s son, authorities said.

The altercations have drawn further attention to Lauren Boebert, a far-right politician with a combative political style.

After the argument at the restaurant on Jan. 6, Jayson Boebert was uncooperative with police and had to be forcibly removed from the business, according to an arrest affidavit. That led to the charges of disorderly conduct, third-degree criminal trespass and obstructing a peace officer, according to court documents.

The second incident, on Jan. 9, involved a physical fight with the couple’s 18-year-old son during which Jayson Boebert grabbed a rifle after the teen called authorities, according to a separate arrest affidavit. That led to charges of harassment, prohibited use of a weapon and third-degree assault, court documents show. Lauren Boebert was not present during the fight.

Jayson Boebert did not respond to calls and texts seeking comment Friday. He is scheduled for a court hearing next Monday.

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

What Is Wrong With Her?

Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion feud.

Preparing the losers of 2024.

Nicki Minaj teases the Hip-Hop world with her diss at Megan Thee Stallion. After the single Hiss went viral, Nicki teased the bars and called Megan, Bigfoot.

Reasons to why I believe Nicki Minaj is a loser.

1. Jealous. Megan got a Grammy before her.

2. Hints of being a Trump supporter.

3. Picks fights with Lil Kim, Mariah Carey, Cardi B, Joy Reid, Remy Ma, Latto and Megan Thee Stallion.

4. Anti-Vaxxer and conspiracy theorist.

5. Married to a sexual offender.

6. Without Drake, Lil Wayne and Birdman writing her lyrics, she would not survive a rap battle.

When the diss was released, it didn't live up to the expectations.

Listen and here's the lyrics.

[Intro]

Your flow is such a bore

Drinkin' a bottle of Henny through a straw

Bitch, you better stop that dialogue (28 shit)

'Fore I hit Carl and buy your catalogue

(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Sigh

How you fuck your mother man when she die?

How you go on Gayle King and can't cry?

Chile, b-b-b-b-bye

Big foot, but you still a small fry

Swearin' on your dead mother when you lie (Ay, yo)

[Verse]

This lil' beggin' whore talkin' 'bout Megan's law

For a free beat, you could hit Megan raw (Ooh)

If you a ghost writer, Pardi in Megan jaw (Ooh-ooh)

Shots thrown, but I still ain't let Megan score (Tell 'em)

Bad bitch, she like six foot (Ooh), I call her Big Foot (Brr-brr)

The bitch fell off, I said, "Get up on your good foot" (Ah, ah)

Uh, still ain't topped "Red Ruby" (No, no-no; mm-mm)

Tryna steal the sauce, I said, "Get up out my cook book" (Brr)

But really, I'm a sweetie pie

P-R-T-T-Y, but I'm P-E-T-T-Y (Brr)

Um, why did you lie about your lypo?

Fuckin' your best friend man is crazy, you the type, though

You was lyin' to the Queen, then you went lyin' to the King, Gayle

That thirty-year-old tea, so stale

Kylie kicked you out and made you stumble to the car

Barbz, I need a good alcohol bar

Roman, wait, that was the bar

Like a body builder, I keep raisin' the bar

Fuck you get shot with no scar? (Brr)

This little piggy toxic, someone adopt it (Ah-ha)

Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Shit'll get dark like chocolate

I'm 'bout to get up in your ass, bitch, clench (Woo)

Mm, yeah, sorta like French

They got you all them Grammy's, but your flow's still a no

What a Fiasco, Lupe

Future made you pay (Haha)

She wanna Pardi with DaBaby while rubbin' on Tory toupe

I guess she needed Moneybaggs for them Trey Songz

She G-Eazy, Carl made her crawl for it

Yo, why the fuck they poke the Monsta?

Fuckin' with Nicki, this year, ho, I'm comin' like a porn star

She just mad that no nigga ever loved her

No nigga gon' stand ten toes behind her

Is it my fault I got good vagin-er?

Why the fuck is you humpin' on a minor?

'Cause she was lyin' on your dead mama (Ooh), on-on your dead mama (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Lyin' on your dead mama (Ooh-ooh), on-on your dead mama

Lyin' on your dead mama (Ooh-ooh), on-on your dead mama

Lyin' on your, lyin', lyin', lyin' on your dead mama (Brr, ooh)

[Outro]

Now listen up, Big Foot

You know I got a lotta tea

I went easy on you

Umm (Glass fragment foot ass, bitch)

You know, whenever I meet a woman that would fuck her friend's man

(And let your friend talk about your ex-friend baby on the internet)

I know that (No, no) they have a very evil spirit

Um (Where my prayer warriors at?)

I don't think you want the next installment of this song

I know it's the most attention you've ever gotten

One-flow hoe, but, uh, trust

If you don't apologize to your mama in twenty-four hours

Shit gon' get uglier than KenBarbie, okay? Don't play

Um, and also, I'd like to say

To my supporters, I love you, may God bless you, you're amazing

Um, all the good-pussy gyal dem too, yes

But, I'm very serious

Ho, the things that you've lied about

Even pertaining to your mom

You don't want them out, okay?

Now, since you think it's funny to speak about people's families

We'll all join in

We'll all play the reindeer games

Soon as your new nose heals

And soon as your—

Well, let's leave that for the second installment, rrr

I am going to give a brief summary of this feud. 

The feud will not end.

Megan Thee Stallion releases Hiss, a brutal diss going at several rappers.

Publications reported that the lyrics address different disses towards Drake, Tory Lanez and Nicki Minaj, as well as Thee Stallion's ex Pardison Fontaine.

In the song, Megan Thee Stallion raps the line that people "don't be mad at Megan", but that they're "mad at Megan's Law". Megan's Law is the name of a federal law that requires registered sex offenders to provide their personal information to local law enforcement agencies and appear on a registry available to the public. The bars were taken as a diss towards fellow rapper Nicki Minaj by critics, fans, and Minaj herself, due to the fact that she is married to Kenneth Petty, who is a registered sex offender.

Nicki teased a diss track against fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion called "Big Foot" on Instagram live in response to the latter’s "Hiss" single, which was followed by a series of tweets concerning the feud by Minaj within the course of hours. A few hours prior to her release of "Big Foot," Minaj disclosed that her team was waiting for producer Lil Juju "to clear that beat that I’ve had for 6 years." Minaj then suggested that Megan tried to prevent the diss track from coming out despite the fact she hasn't "even heard the song." Minaj tweeted, "It's been [ready] for 2 days. Just was tryna be cool & let her get lil streams. Wasn't gon say anything. But remember how everyone kept my name in their mouth and how I said the next person mention my family gon regret it. Btw, they haven't even heard the song. Who said it's even a 'diss?'"

"Big Foot" was officially released on January 28, 2024, at 12am after having had a push back to six hours later than initially planned. The track received mixed reviews and was accompanied by an acapella version, so that, in Minaj’s words: "other producers all around the world can make their own beat." In the song, she has given Megan Thee Stallion 24 hours to issue an apology to her or else a second installment of "Big Foot" will be released.

Biden Warns Netanyahu That American Aid Is Coming To An End If He Doesn't Stop!

Boxed in a corner.

All talk.

For those who said Donald J. Trump never starts wars, you might want to revisit his role in the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and his call to derail the border bill Congress is working on. He is calling for white nationalists to go to Eagle Pass, Texas to confront U.S. Border Patrol agents. He also called for armed resistance if he is convicted of crimes.

Since Oct. 18, 2023, President Joe Biden sealed his fate with young voters, Muslims and Arab Americans. Since he said that the Israeli airstrike on Gaza's al Shifa's hospital was "the other team", Arab Americans vow they'll never support him again. The resistance to Israeli occupation was not the attack on Oct. 7, 2023. The conflict in Jenin was in July 2023. In Feb. 2023, Benjamin Netanyahu pushed Israeli plan to completely wipe Palestinians out of the Middle East. At the United Nations, Netanyahu showed a map of Israel without Gaza or the West Bank. Israel continues to build settlements. AIPAC has financed millions in an attempt to oust Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). The lobbying group has invested in backing the Republicans who refused to certify Biden as the president.

When President Joe Biden's 2024 campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez went to Michigan to meet with several Arab American leaders, they declined the invite.

They said to her that they're done with him. They will not support his bid for 2024.

Now Biden is warning Netanyahu that his patience is wearing thin and the president is mulling suspension of military aid and financial aid to Israel. Netanyahu brushed him off and has secretly talked to Trump.

Israel struck a UNRWA building killing hundreds. The International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must ensure civilians are not killed mercilessly. Israel ignores it. Israel puts out a propaganda piece claiming that UN workers praised the Oct. 7th attack and now the U.S., Australia, Great Britain, Japan, the European Union and Canada pulled funding to the UNRWA.

Biden's old school policy is not winning over voters. So now he is getting desperate.

The Biden administration is discussing using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to convince the government of Netanyahu to heed long-standing U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip, according to three current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.

At the direction of the White House, the Pentagon has been reviewing what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage, said the sources. They said no decisions have been made.

The sources said Israeli officials continue to ask the administration for more weapons, including large aerial bombs, ammunition and air defenses.

Netanyahu refuses to end the war.

After weeks of private administration requests produced fewer results than the White House wants, the sources said, the U.S. is considering slowing or pausing the deliveries in the hope that doing so will prod the Israelis to take action, such as opening humanitarian corridors to provide more aid to Palestinian civilians.

Among the weaponry the U.S. has discussed using as leverage are 155 mm artillery rounds and joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs), which are guidance kits that convert dumb bombs into precision-guided munitions, the officials said. The officials said the administration is likely to continue to provide other conversion kits that make Israeli munitions more precise.

Officials said they are not likely to slow the delivery of air defenses, though the idea was considered, as well as other systems that can defend Israeli civilians and infrastructure from attack. The administration is focused on offensive military equipment in its review of what it could possibly withhold or delay.

Administration officials have also discussed offering the Israeli government more of the weaponry it has requested as an incentive to take some steps that the U.S. has requested, officials said.

The effort comes after weeks of Biden and his national security team failing to convince Netanyahu and other Israeli officials to dramatically change tactics in Gaza and to take more steps to minimize civilian casualties, officials said. It marks a potential shift in Biden’s approach by going beyond rhetorical pressure, largely behind the scenes, and to making tangible policy changes aimed at getting Israel to act.

Houthis vow revenge after American airstrikes killed several.

Some Democrats in Congress have been urging the administration to do more to pressure Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

A spokesperson for the National Security Council defended the administration’s stance toward the conflict so far. “As the president has made clear, he believes that the approach he has pursued has been more effective,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Israel has a right and obligation to defend themselves against the threat of Hamas, while abiding by international humanitarian law and protecting civilian lives, and we remain committed to support Israel in its fight against Hamas.”

After the publication of this story, the spokesperson added, “We have done so since Oct 7, and will continue to. There has not been a change in our policy.”

The sources said senior Biden administration officials continue to be frustrated that Israel has often disregarded their calls for taking more care to minimize harm to Palestinian civilians, citing the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Khan Younis as the most recent example. That frustration recently escalated inside the Pentagon as well, while Biden and other White House officials have long been privately exasperated with Netanyahu’s handling of the war.

Biden has said for weeks that he’s been doing all he can to get Israel to change its military tactics.

“I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza,” Biden said on Jan. 8 when confronted by protesters calling for a cease-fire. “I’ve been using all that I can to do that.”

White House officials argue that Biden has had some success, though they concede that Israeli government officials still have not gone as far as the president has wanted.

American Muslims and Arab Americans sour on Democrats.

A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly, expressed frustration with Israeli officials. “There’s a lot more that needs to be done and they need to be more careful about,” the official said.

Three U.S. troops were killed and 25 were injured following a drone attack on a base in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border, according to United States Central Command.

These are the first U.S. fatalities in months of strikes by Iranian-backed militant groups since the Israel-Hamas war started on Oct. 7. The troops have not been identified pending notification of next of kin.

In a statement, Biden said the troops were killed by “radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq,” adding that “we are still gathering the facts of this attack.”

So this latest round of issues has not changed the minds. The Arab Americans who voted for Biden see the hardline stance to Israel as betrayal. He refuses to acknowledge the 30,000 lives lost. He continues to waffle statements. He refuses to acknowledges Israeli forces killed 20 Americans. Even Democrats like former House Speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claim the Russians are behind the pro Palestinian protests.

Michigan was crucial to helping Biden win the presidency. He can only lose two states.

The electoral college declares if the nominee earns 270 electoral votes, the nominee will be the president-elect. The popular vote only determines how many Americans voted.

Even if a candidate had more votes than the other, the nominee must have 270 to be elected the President of the United States. If Biden does win, his second term begins. Biden will technically finish his first term through the lame duck session, but since he won, by default his second term begins. Biden will be barred from serving a third term.

If former president Donald J. Trump or Nikki Haley win the nomination and earn the 270 electoral votes, one will start as the 47th President of the United States. Trump will be barred from serving another term. Haley will be eligible for a second term.

On Dec. 14, the electoral votes are declared. On Jan. 6, 2025, Congress holds a special session to certify the President-elect and Vice President-elect. Mind you, this time, security will be heighten once this begins since the 2021 incident. Trump was impeached for it but never was convicted. He is facing federal indictments because of it.

Technically on Jan. 20, 2025, Congress gathers at 12pm to begin a new presidential term.

Charles Osgood Passed Away!


On Wednesday, CBS News announced the passing of former CBS Sunday Morning host Charles Osgood.

Osgood, who anchored "CBS Sunday Morning" for 22 years and was host of the long-running radio program "The Osgood File," died Tuesday at home in New Jersey.  He was 91. 

The cause of death was dementia, his family said.

Osgood, a gifted news writer, poet and author, spent 45 years at CBS News before retiring in September 2016. Osgood began anchoring "CBS Sunday Morning" in 1994. During his run on the show it reached its highest ratings levels in three decades, and three times earned the Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Morning Program.

"For years now people — even friends and family — have been asking me why I keep doing this considering my age," Osgood said when he retired in 2016 at 84. "It's just that it's been such a joy doing it! Who wouldn't want to be the one who gets to introduce these terrific storytellers and the producers and writers and others who put this wonderful show together."

Osgood said then it has "been a great run."

He interviewed such luminaries as chef Julia Child, graffiti artist-turned-gallery star Keith Haring, painter Andrew Wyeth, sculptor Louise Nevelson, and singer-songwriter Sting.

Osgood's love of poetry and music were also on display in "Sunday Morning," whether it was his playful prose, or playing Christmas carols on the piano during the show's holiday broadcasts.  

Often referred to as CBS News' poet-in-residence, Osgood was called "one of the last great broadcast writers" by Charles Kuralt, whom Osgood succeeded as host of the Sunday morning magazine program in 1994. But he did more than carry on a great American oral tradition; he could also play piano, organ, banjo, violin, and was an accomplished composer and lyricist who could also sing along. He employed his many talents inside and outside CBS, sometimes performing with professional orchestras such as The New York Pops, The Boston Pops and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. 

"To say there's no one like Charles Osgood is an understatement," said "Sunday Morning" executive producer Rand Morrison. "He embodied the heart and soul of 'Sunday Morning.' His signature bow tie, his poetry … just his presence was special for the audience, and for those of us who worked with him. At the piano, Charlie put our lives to music. Truly, he was one of a kind – in every sense." 

Veteran broadcaster Jane Pauley, who succeeded Osgood as host of "Sunday Morning" in 2016, said, "Watching him at work was a masterclass in communicating. I'll still think to myself, 'How would Charlie say it?', trying to capture the elusive warmth and intelligence of his voice and delivery. I expect I'll go on trying. He was one of the best broadcast stylists and one of the last. His style was so natural and unaffected it communicated his authenticity. He connected with people. Watching him  on TV, or listening on the radio, as I did for years, was to feel like you knew him, and he knew you. He brought a unique sensibility, curiosity and his trademark whimsy to 'Sunday Morning,' and it endures."
