Toby Keith Passed Away!

Toby Keith passed away from cancer.

Country music singer passed away from stomach cancer. 

Toby Keith, the Oklahoma based country singer who is famous for Republican themed music has passed away.

A staunch supporter of far right politics, Keith's music was played at many Republican venues. Keith endorsed George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Donald J. Trump's presidential campaigns.

The “Beer For My Horses” singer-songwriter, who was battling stomach cancer, died peacefully Monday surrounded by his family, according to a statement posted on the country singer’s website. “He fought his fight with grace and courage,” the statement said. He was diagnosed in 2022.

The 6-foot-4 singer broke out in the country boom years of the 1990s, writing songs that fans loved to hear. Over his career he publicly clashed with other celebrities and journalists and often pushed back against record executives who wanted to smooth his rough edges.

He was known for his overt patriotism on post 9/11 songs like “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” and boisterous barroom tunes like “I Love This Bar” and “Red Solo Cup.” He had a powerful booming voice, a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and range that carried love songs as well as drinking songs.

Among his 20 No. 1 Billboard hits were “How Do You Like Me Now?!,” “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” “As Good As I Once Was,” “My List” and “Beer for My Horses,” a duet with Willie Nelson.

Keith worked as a roughneck in the oil fields of Oklahoma as a young man, then played semi-pro football before launching his career as a singer.

“I write about life, and I sing about life, and I don’t overanalyze things,” Keith told The Associated Press in 2001, following the success of his song “I’m Just Talking About Tonight.”

Keith worked as a roughneck in the oil fields of Oklahoma as a young man, then played semi-pro football before launching his career as a singer.

“I write about life, and I sing about life, and I don’t overanalyze things,” Keith told The Associated Press in 2001, following the success of his song “I’m Just Talking About Tonight.”

Keith learned good lessons in the booming oil fields, which toughened him up, but also showed him the value of money.

“The money to be made was unbelievable,” Keith told the AP in 1996. “I came out of high school in 1980 and they gave me this job December of 1979, $50,000 a year. I was 18-years-old.”

But the domestic oil field industry collapsed and Keith had not saved. “It about broke us,” he said. “So I just learned. I’ve taken care of my money this time.”

He spent a couple seasons as a defensive end for the Oklahoma City Drillers, a farm team for the now-defunct United States Football League. But he found consistent money playing music with his band throughout the red dirt roadhouse circuit in Oklahoma and Texas.

“All through this whole thing the only constant thing we had was music,” he said. “But it’s hard to sit back and say, ‘I’m going to go make my fortune singing music, or writing music.’ I had no contacts.”

Eventually his path took him to Nashville, where he attracted the interest of Mercury Records head Harold Shedd, who was best known as a producer for the hit group Alabama. Shedd brought him to Mercury, where he released his platinum debut record “Toby Keith,” in 1993.

“Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” his breakout hit, was played 3 million times on radio stations, making it the most played country song of the 1990s.

Toby Keith was a staunch supporter of Trump.

But the label’s focus on global star Shania Twain overshadowed the rest of the roster and Keith felt that the executives were trying to push him in a pop direction.

“They were trying to get me to compromise, and I was living a miserable existence,” Keith told the AP. “Everybody was trying to mold me into something I was not.”

After a series of albums that produced hits like “Who’s That Man,” and cover of Sting’s “I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying,” Keith moved to DreamWorks Records in 1999.

That’s when his multi-week “How Do You Like Me Now?!” took off and became his first song to crossover to Top 40 charts. In 2001, he won the male vocalist of the year and album of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, exclaiming from the stage: “I’ve waited a long time for this. Nine years!”

Keith often wore his politics on his sleeve, especially after the terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in 2001, and early on he said was a conservative Democrat, but later claimed he was an independent. He’s played at events for Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, the latter giving him a National Medal of the Arts in 2021. His songs and his blunt opinions sometimes caused him controversy, which he seemed to court.

His 2002 song, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” included a threat — “We’ll put a boot in your ass — It’s the American way” — to anyone who dared to mess with America.

That song got pulled from a patriotic ABC Fourth of July special after producers deemed it too angry for the show. Singer-songwriter Steve Earle called Keith’s song “pandering to people’s worst instincts at a time they are hurt and scared.”

Then there was the feud between Keith and The Chicks (formerly called the Dixie Chicks), who became a target of Keith’s ire when singer Natalie Maines told a crowd that they were ashamed of then-President George W. Bush. Maines had also previously called Keith’s song “ignorant.”

Keith, who had previously claimed that he supported any artist’s freedom to voice their opinion about politics, used a doctored photo of Maines with an image of Saddam Hussein at his concerts, further ramping up angry fans.

Maines responded by wearing a shirt with the letters “FUTK” onstage at the 2003 ACM Awards, which many people believed was a vulgar message to Keith.

Keith, who has acknowledged that he holds onto grudges, walked out of the ACM Awards in 2003 early because he had gotten snubbed in earlier categories, causing him to miss out when he was announced as entertainer of the year. Vince Gill accepted on his behalf. He came back the next year and won the top prize for a second year in a row, along with top male vocalist and album of the year for “Shock ’n Y’all.”

His pro-military stance wasn’t just fodder for songs, however. He went on 11 USO tours to visit and play for troops serving overseas. He also helped to raise millions for charity over his career, including building a home in Oklahoma City for kids with cancer and their families.

After Universal Music Group acquired DreamWorks, Keith started anew again, starting his own record label, Show Dog, in 2005 with record executive Scott Borchetta, who launched his own label Big Machine at the same time.

“Probably 75% of the people in this town think I’ll fail, and the other 25% hope I fail,” he said that year.

Later the label became Show Dog-Universal Music and had Keith, Trace Adkins, Joe Nichols, Josh Thompson, Clay Walker and Phil Vassar on its roster.

His later hits included “Love Me If You Can,” “She Never Cried In Front of Me,” and “Red Solo Cup.” He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015.

He was honored by the performance rights organization BMI in November 2022 with the BMI Icon award, a few months after announcing his stomach cancer diagnosis.

“I always felt like that the songwriting was the most important part of this whole industry,” Keith told the crowd of fellow singers and writers.

They're A No On A Republican-Led Border Bill!

What are we gonna do? They ain't supporting our bipartisan bill.

There is no "open border."

There is no border crisis.

There is frustration with Congress doing far less legislation and having more time off than the average worker. Most average workers exceed 40 hours of work to survive.

Congress does a little over 24 hours a week in work time. They get at least 15 days of time off and never have to worry about losing a paycheck during their two year or six year term as a House member or Senator.

This is a disgraceful attempt of protecting white supremacy through a xenophobic ploy to scapegoat migrants.

Fentanyl is killing white Americans faster and the U.S. government which is 75% white is more concerned about trying to blame immigrants for the crisis. It can be solved with sanctions on manufacturers of chemicals and drug makers.

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) all support giving our taxpayer money to Israel. They rather keep pouring billions of our money to a country that continues commit a genocide and stir up tensions in the Middle East. The U.S. will be driven into a conflict with Iran because of Israel's bullshit.

These three senators support white nationalism. 

Damn shame that Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) all take money from AIPAC. It is a shame all of them are beholden to a foreign agent of the Israeli government.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, these three senators want to curb migrants seeking refuge in the United States. Of course, those coming from the global South where America's influence is waning.

The bill will offer Israel $14.5 billion in military aid, $10 billion in Ukraine military aid, $10 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza, West Bank and Ukraine, a temporary pause on asylum seekers, give the president powers to close the U.S.-Mexican border if migrant entry exceeds the daily limit, unspecified Taiwan military assistance, upgrades to military bases in the Middle East to prevent drone attacks, strengthen military presence in the Red Sea, acknowledge a possibility of establishing a Palestinian state and establishing citizenship to Afghans who aided the U.S. during the previous war.

The deal includes provisions to raise standards for asylum screening and to process claims faster, ends the practice known as “catch and release,” and provides a new authority to close the border to most migrants when crossings reach a set threshold. It also seeks to make it easier for migrants to get work authorization and eliminate the immigration court backlog.

Republicans are opposing a solution to the problem they've complaining about.

The full supplemental — which includes funds for the border, Israel and Ukraine aid, and other foreign policy priorities — totals $118 billion, with about $20 billion going to the border component.

Lankford called it “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border and give future administrations the effective tools they need to stop the border chaos and protect our nation.”

Not like we have real issues at home.

1. Homelessness

2. Gun violence

3. Abandon homes and businesses

4. Political extremism

5. Crumbling roads and bridges

6. Extreme weather 

The Republicans can't run on the economy. After the January jobs report came out, it shocked the junk food media. Over 350,000 jobs and the feds are no longer raising the alarm about a recession and inflation. Republicans hyped up recession talk for the last three years.

Now that another federal election is underway, Republicans dust off their old playbook and start driving up the migrant caravans. The immigration crisis as Fox relentlessly promotes.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) already declared the bipartisan bill dead on arrival.

Conservative senators have been mobilizing against the deal, egged on by former President Donald Trump, who has told Republicans to reject it if it isn’t “perfect.” He has also falsely suggested that the bill would allow 5,000 illegal border crossings per day as he seeks to wield border chaos as a political weapon in a likely 2024 rematch against President Joe Biden, who quickly endorsed the bill.

The deal was met with near-immediate rejection by House Republican leadership as well as several members of the House Freedom Caucus and other conservatives in Congress. 

So in other words, we reject a solution to the problem. We will just continue to scream, yell and bemoan about the issue. We will continue to go push more misinformation and distractions to scare up votes.

Did you know washed up politician Sarah Palin and pedophile rocker Ted Nugent went to Texas on behalf of Steve Bannon and Donald J. Trump?

Did you know that Tucker Carlson went to Russia to meet with Edward Snowden, Tara Reade and federation president (dictator) Vladimir Putin?

Anyway, House Republicans are vowing to oppose it. Aiding them in this mission is Donald J. Trump. He demands Republicans sink the bill. Now Republicans House members in the junk food media are screaming that the 370 page, five month long bill was "rushed through."

Lankford has repeatedly expressed exasperation at some Republicans in recent weeks, indicating he is frustrated at them for repeatedly saying that action is needed at the border but refusing to jump on board with his push out of political expediency for Trump.

“It is interesting ― Republicans four months ago would not give funding for Ukraine, for Israel and for our southern border because we demanded changes in policy. So we actually locked arms together and said, ‘We’re not going to give you money for this. We want a change in law,’” Lankford said during a recent Sunday show appearance. “And now it’s interesting, a few months later, when we’re finally getting to the end, they’re like, ‘Oh, just kidding. I actually don’t want a change in law because it’s a presidential election year.’”

The deal released Sunday also includes a provision that would provide a pathway to permanent legal status for Afghan nationals who assisted U.S. troops, the FEND Off Fentanyl Act to require the president to sanction transnational criminal organizations engaged in fentanyl trafficking, and new hiring authority for the Department of Homeland Security.

Teen Shoots A Bus Rider Dead Over A Leg Blocking The Path!

A teen shoots a man dead on a Denver bus.

This is a perfect example of why Congress failed America!

The Republicans seriously believe the Second Amendment is more important than the lives of the Americans who value safety, tranquility and shelter.

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

A 13-year-old boy allegedly shot and killed a 60-year-old man on a bus because the man’s leg was blocking the aisle, Denver police said.

The boy was arrested Thursday afternoon on suspicion of first-degree murder, the Denver Police Department said in a news release Friday.

Officers responded to a shooting on a Transdev bus near the intersection of South Federal Boulevard and West Mississippi Avenue at 6:41 p.m. Saturday and found a man, later identified as Richard Sanchez, with a gunshot wound.

Transdev is a contractor for the Regional Transportation District.

Sanchez was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner determined Sanchez’s death was a homicide as a result of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators believe the boy had a “verbal exchange” with Sanchez about Sanchez’s leg blocking the aisle of the bus, after which the boy shot him, according to Denver police.

A second man injured in the shooting was treated at the scene and did not need to be taken to a hospital, the department said in a news release.

A man loses his life to an unrepentant teen.

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

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.

According to the far rightWhite 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.

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

White Extremist Thomas Friedman Compares Arabs To Insects!

Zionists continue to use dehumanizing words against protesters and Palestinians.

We are not living in the animal kingdom.

Arabs are not wasps. They are sick and tired of the double standards when it comes to Israel.

They are not animals.

Thomas Friedman writes for The New York Times and spends his time writing bullshit pieces to make a profit. Friedman wrote that Middle East resistance is like a wasp and they need to be exterminated.

“Is there a better description of Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq today? They are the caterpillars. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is the wasp. The Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas and Kataib Hezbollah are the eggs that hatch inside the host—Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq—and eat it from the inside out.

“We have no counterstrategy that safely and efficiently kills the wasp without setting fire to the whole jungle.”

Friedman is the left's Zionist. He is totally clueless and beyond common sense. He wants Muslims to denounce violence and terrorism. 

Hamas is regarded as a terrorist group by the U.S., Great Britain, France, Canada, Japan and Israel. The rest of the world and myself regard them as resistance fighters against the occupation.
Thomas Friedman is a warmongering white extremist.

Friedman continues this farce by claiming the U.S. will retaliate against pro-Iranian forces and Iranian agents in the Middle East that Washington believes are responsible for the attack on a U.S. base in Jordan that killed three soldiers on Jan. 28. At the same time, we could get a Gaza cease-fire deal, with an exchange of Israeli hostages held by Hamas for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. And Secretary of State Antony Blinken is going to try to bring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel an option: normalization with Saudi Arabia in return for a commitment to engage with the Palestinian Authority on a long-term plan for a Palestinian state.

Friedman doesn't want Israel to have a two state solution. He just want to keep the status quo.

Yet, no pieces on gun violence in the United States.

No pieces of Israeli settler violence.

No pieces on how the American government is using our taxpayer money to fund a foreign country committing a genocide.

Friedman claimed he contemplate the Middle East by watching CNN. Friedman claims he  prefer watching Animal Planet instead of the war.

Hopefully the New York gives him plenty of time to do so once they send him packing.

White Extremist Steven Stalinsky Calls Dearborn, Michigan Jihad USA!

Dearborn is beautiful city.

Opinion columnist Steven Stalinsky can go fuck himself. 

Why don't he use his so-called terrorist analysis on mass shootings in the United States?

The Wall Street Journal should be ashamed of itself for allowing this bigot to write this garbage. He is a Zionist and white extremist who runs the Israeli propaganda outlet Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Dearborn, Michigan has a population of 107,000 residents. It is one of the state's largest cities with a large Muslim and Arab American population. 

This title "Welcome to Dearborn, America's Jihad Capital" in describing the city's mayor and Democratic U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib rejecting President Joe Biden's request for a sitdown. Also the city adopted a resolution calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. 

Many Arab American and Black voters as well as Muslims are boycotting the president and Vice President Kamala Harris. They strongly believe that the Biden-Harris Campaign are not willing to listen to their concerns and are too cozy with the genocidal Israeli government.

This white extremist wrote that Dearborn residents and pro Palestinian protesters are terrorists.

This fool writes Dearborn residents support for terrorism has long been a concern for U.S. counterterrorism officials. 

The real threat is white nationalism and this guy is a prime example of it.

He claims that protesters calling for a ceasefire are marching in support of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Protesters, many with kaffiyehs covering their faces, shout “Intifada, intifada,” “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and “America is a terrorist state.” 

That is free speech and many on the far right often call for secession. Does he have any comments on that?

Or what about Jan. 6?

No Muslims tried to overthrow the U.S. government. Maybe some Trump supporting Arab Americans were there but a majority of the terrorists were white.

He claims local imams give fiery antisemitic sermons. Did this asshole happened to travel to Michigan, went to a local Islamic center or a mosque to hear a imam say "kill Jews" and "bomb America" and "destroy Israel." For one thing, imams don't encourage worshipers to kill Jews. Imams don't tell Americans to travel to Texas to stop migrants from entering the United States. Imams don't say build explosives or call for armed resistance against the U.S. government. Imams don't say destroy Israel. They call it Palestine and say it is the rightful land of the indigenous people.

Oh, Muslims are semitic, you dummy.

Trump, Republicans and far right agitators call for violence against LGBTQ, Jews and Muslims everyday. They call for armed resistance against the government. They call for Israel to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran without repercussions. The Republicans and Democrats would rather play this game of fearmongering if we don't vote for Biden or Trump.

What angers me is the fact this fool thinks these people are sympathizers of terrorism.

This fool claims that Dearborn’s "radical politics" are complicating Biden’s path to re-election. Michigan is a must-win state for Democrats, and the president’s campaign strategists are clearly worried that virulent anti-Israel and anti-American sentiment could hurt him in November. 

No Biden is worried he will lose young voters and Arab Americans.

The AP reported Jan. 26 that local leaders gave Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez was boycotted by Muslims and Arab Americans during a recent visit to the Detroit area. 

“Little bit of advice—if you’re planning on sending campaign officials to convince the Arab-American community on why they should vote for your candidate, don’t do it on the same day you announce selling fighter jets to the tyrants murdering our family members,” tweeted Abdullah H. Hammoud, Dearborn’s Democratic mayor.

Muslim Americans are tired of being treated like criminals or scapegoated as terrorists.

Jihad is an Arabic word which literally means "striving" or "struggling", especially with a praiseworthy aim. In an Islamic context, it can refer to almost any effort to make personal and social life conform with God's guidance, such as struggle against one's evil inclinations, proselytizing, or efforts toward the moral betterment of the Muslim community (Ummah), though it is most frequently associated with armed conflict. In classical Islamic law (sharia), the term refers to armed struggle against unbelievers, while modernist Islamic scholars generally equate military jihad with defensive warfare. In Sufi circles, spiritual and moral jihad has been traditionally emphasized under the name of greater jihad. The term became a Western media boogeyman term in recent decades through its use by various insurgent Islamic extremist, militant Islamist, and terrorist individuals and organizations whose ideology is based on the Islamic notion of jihad.

He falsely claimed that pro-Palestinian support is open support for Hamas. No one should be supporting genocide, period. 

Protests are spreading and the tide is slowly turning.

Why are we allowing our taxpayer money go to a foreign country without question?

We are doing it for Ukraine, why not Israel?

The Israel lobbyists are trying to outlaw protesting against their country. They are trying to equate every freaking criticism of Israel to antisemitism. They are pressuring our lawmakers to pass draconian laws to punish individuals with jail time because they dare speak out against Israel.

This asshole is a perfect example of how the Zionists are the real terrorists.

Biden Cooking Southern Fried Chicken!

Going south.

The Democrats hold their official presidential primary and it already seems like it was a no brainer for the incumbent, President Joe Biden. He easily won South Carolina defeating Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN).

The Democrats held their first primary in South Carolina blowing off the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary. Biden credited his 2020 presidential turnaround to South Carolina.

He would end up winning Super Tuesday and eventually the Democratic nomination.

His reelection campaign invested heavily in driving up turnout in what it saw as a test drive of its efforts to mobilize Black voters, a key Democratic bloc central to Biden’s chances in a likely November rematch against former President Donald Trump.

“In 2020, it was the voters of South Carolina who proved the pundits wrong, breathed new life into our campaign, and set us on the path to winning the presidency,” Biden said in a statement. “Now in 2024, the people of South Carolina have spoken again and I have no doubt that you have set us on the path to winning the Presidency again — and making Donald Trump a loser — again.”

The Associated Press declared Biden the winner at 7:23 p.m. based on an analysis of initial vote results showing him with a decisive lead in key locations throughout the state. He won all 55 of the state’s Democratic delegates.

The victory comes following the president leading a Democratic National Committee effort to have South Carolina go first in the party’s primary, citing the state’s more racially diverse population compared to the traditional first-in-the-nation states of Iowa and New Hampshire, which are overwhelmingly white.

South Carolina is reliably Republican, but 26% of its residents are Black. In the 2020 general election, Black voters made up 11% of the national electorate, and 9 in 10 of them supported Biden, according to AP VoteCast, an expansive survey of that election’s voters.

Biden pushed for a revamped primary calendar that will see Nevada go second, holding its primary on Tuesday. The new order also moves the Democratic primary in Michigan, a large and diverse swing state, to Feb. 27, before the expansive field of states voting on March 5, known as Super Tuesday.

Dean Phillips rejecting calls to drop out despite path ending.

New Hampshire rejected the DNC’s plan and held a leadoff primary last month anyway. Biden didn’t campaign and his name wasn’t on the ballot, but still won by a sizable margin after supporters mounted a write-in campaign on his behalf.

South Carolina, where Biden has long held deep relationships with supporters and donors, also played a pivotal role in his 2020 campaign, where a big win revived a flagging effort in other early-voting states and propelled him to the nomination.

Biden was aided by longtime South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn whose 2020 endorsement served as a long-awaited signal to the state’s Black voters that Biden would be the right candidate to advocate for their interests. Clyburn remains a close Biden ally and said Saturday night that he believed New Hampshire’s delegates should be seated at the party’s convention this summer and that Democrats should avoid any further infighting.

Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve in the role, have consistently thanked South Carolina’s Democrats for their support. Biden was traveling this weekend in California and Nevada but called into a series of Black radio stations across South Carolina and told WWDM in Sumter, “The only reason I’m talking to you today as president of the United States of America is because of South Carolina. That is not hyperbole. That’s a fact.”

Campaigning in the state last week, the president said South Carolina was “the reason Donald Trump is a loser. And you’re the reason we’re going to win and beat him again,” framing the likely general election matchup with the GOP’s current front-runner.

Earlier in the day, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison said, “We all know that we, because of the color of this, we, our great grandparents, our grandparents, could not always vote here.” Harrison is a South Carolina native who is Black.

“For this president to say, ‘Jaime, for the entirety of your life, we have started this process in Iowa and New Hampshire, and now, we’re going to start it in South Carolina’ — no other president before ever decided to touch that issue,” he added. “But Joe Biden did, and I will always be grateful to the president for giving us a chance, for seeing us, and understanding how much we matter.”

Marianne Williamson will drop out soon. 

Black voters interviewed during the recent early voting period listed a range of reasons for supporting Biden, from his administration’s defense of abortion rights to appointing Black jurists and other minorities to the federal courts. Some echoed Biden’s warnings that Trump would threaten democracy as he continues to push lies that the 2020 vote was stolen.

“We can’t live with a leader that will make this into a dictatorship. We can’t live in a place that is not a democracy. That will be a fall for America,” said LaJoia Broughton, a 42-year-old small business owner in Columbia. “So my vote is with Biden. It has been with Biden and will continue to be with Biden.”

Some voters said they were concerned about the 81-year-old Biden’s age, as many Americans have said they are in public polling. Trump is 77. Both men have had a series of public flubs that have fueled skepticism about their readiness.

“They’re as old as I am and to have these two guys be the only choices, that’s kind of difficult,” said Charles Trower, a 77-year-old from Blythewood, South Carolina. “But I would much rather have President Biden than even consider the other guy.”

Biden faces a tough road ahead. 

Black voters are concerned that Biden isn't doing enough to convince them to vote for him. Hopefully this primary blowout activates the base. 

I am very concerned about his stance on Israel and him pressing for conflict with Iran.

Israel is driving the United States into its quagmire. After the International Court of Justice found Israel accountable for actively engaging in genocide, the country stepped up its offense, made bogus claims about the UNRWA, had a role in the bombing in Tehran, struck in Beirut and probably did a false flag with the drone strike on Post 22 which America blamed Iran for the deaths of three soldiers.

Biden ordered airstrikes on multiple targets in Iraq and Syria. 

Leaders in Iraq, Syria and Iran condemned the actions.

Biden faces a defiant Texas governor Greg Abbott who continues to ignore the Supreme Court's order to remove razor wire and allow federal agents maintain border control.

Biden faces a possible government shutdown because House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) refuses the Senate's bipartisan bills on funding the government and border issues.

Trump continues to pressure Republicans to not do their jobs.

Biden is likely to face Trump. Nikki Haley is having trouble even in South Carolina.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) endorsed Trump which is backstabbing towards Haley who endorsed them. Scott dropped out of the presidential race to endorse Trump over Haley.

Israeli Diplomat's Son Runs Over Florida Cop! Israel Claims Immunity!

Asshole runs over a cop. He claims he is a diplomat's son.

What irates me more is the fact that Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), a former U.S. soldier who lost both his legs to an improvised explosive device met with President Barack Obama in the past. The former president offered Mast words of encouragement and told him directly that anything he needed, Obama will offer.

The 43-year old lawmaker is Hispanic White and is married with four children. 

When Donald J. Trump declared his run for president, Mast became more extreme in his views on the country. He is probably one of the many far-right members who continue to put Congress at risk of falling apart.

He was elected in 2016 shortly after Trump won. He's served in Congress for four terms.

He is a former Staff Sergeant with the U.S. Army. 

So it's crazy to see him walking into Congress with the uniform of a foreign army. 

Mast took a hardline stance when it comes to the Israeli-Hamas conflict. The conflict has been a one sided assault where Israel has relentlessly bombed Gaza.

Hamas only has the skills of guerilla warfare and urban combat due to the faction having no military.

But since the Israel Defence Force is made up of mostly men and women who are under 25, the immaturity of the soldiers have made them easy targets for Hamas to fight.

Mast harboring hatred for Arabs and Muslims wasted no time trolling protesters. Mast, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) have been the most vocal supporters of Israel.

President Joe Biden has taken a hit because of his support for Israel. 

The world is getting tired of the excuses of Israel having the "right to defend itself."

Not one missile struck Tel Aviv.

Not one missile struck Jerusalem.

The Israeli government openly mocks the U.S. and Great Britain. The mock the notion of a two state solution. That's pretty much gone. They continue to defy the calls for restraint. They keep bombarding Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and parts of the West Bank.

They baited the U.S. into striking Iraq and Syria. The Israelis had baited the U.S. and Great Britain into fighting with the Yemen Houthis. What irks me is the fact that our tax dollars are going to Israel.

Insufferable Marjorie Taylor Greene won't censure her own members for dual loyalty. Brian Mast wore an IDF uniform while in Congress.

Even in the domestic issues, the Republicans and Democrats are using Israeli tactics.

The border issue is similar to Israel. The Republican governors are siding with Texas governor Greg Abbott despite the U.S. Supreme Court putting the brakes on his meddling in federal affairs. Abbott like Benjamin Netanyahu are thumbing their nose at the system. They followed Trump's playbook of doing whatever the fuck you want without consequences. This is why so many of these idiots are willing to vote that fool back in 2024.

Yes, Black men are voting for Trump. Sad.

Trump would be the first person to put Black men in the prisons (aka the Iron College). He would call them "really nasty dudes." Quote that.

Anyway in Ron DeSantis' Florida, the former Republican presidential candidate and term limited governor is now curtailing to his Florida Man act again. He will find some form of constant agitation towards Biden when the next controversy arises in Florida.

Well in the Miami area, an Israeli man is facing criminal charges for intentionally running over a police officer while on his motorcycle. Now the man is crying to his father. His father is telling him, that his son has diplomatic immunity and he should be released to the Israeli government at once.

The 19-year-old son of an Israeli diplomat will not escape charges after authorities accused him of “intentionally” running over a Sunny Isles Beach police lieutenant over the weekend — at least not based on a diplomatic immunity claim, officials say.

The U.S. Department of State confirmed Thursday in a statement to Local 10 News that Avraham Gil, despite an initial assertion by his attorneys, is not entitled to claim immunity based on his father’s position at the consulate.

“The Department is aware of this incident,” a State Department spokesperson said. “We can confirm that, as the dependent of an Israeli consular officer, the concerned individual is not entitled to civil or criminal immunity.”

Gil, of Aventura, is the son of Eli Gil, who works out of Israel’s consulate in Miami.

Police said the incident happened at around 3:30 p.m. Saturday along Collins Avenue.

An arrest report states that as the officer approached the vehicle he pulled over, Gil came up on his motorcycle, weaving in between vehicles. The officer motioned at Gil and yelled at him to stop, police said, but instead, he kept riding towards the lieutenant and “intentionally ran him over.”

The officer, who suffered an “incapacitating” injury to his left leg, grabbed Gil and brought him to the ground to stop him, the report states. Police arrested Gil on a first-degree felony charge of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence.

The officer remains out of work.

A Dec. 31 video shows Gil also being pulled over by Miami Shores police.

Gil faces a first-degree felony charge of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence.

“Defense counsel’s representation was relied upon and the defendant was released on his own recognizance,” a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office said in a statement Thursday. “After receiving confirmation from the State Department, Office of Foreign Missions, that neither the defendant nor his father have diplomatic immunity, we are proceeding as usual with our investigation. Mr. Gil remains charged and the case is still open.”

Staff at the Israeli consulate had no comment on the charges. His attorneys have maintained his innocence.

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

Misguided Missiles!

Biden on behalf of Israel strikes Syria and Iraq to provoke Iran.

If you harm an American, we will respond.

Remember this when you decide to call out the president for refusing to acknowledge Americans being killed by Israel.

Young voters, Arab Americans, Black men, Muslims are not happy with the Biden presidency. Being too friendly to a country active in committing a genocide is going to put Michigan and Minnesota in play.

President Joe Biden declared that if anyone kills Americans, the reactions will be swift.

So let me get this straight, militias that allegedly had the backing of Iran will be targets of fierce bombardment, but Israelis who kill Americans will be utter silence.

Biden is an idiot.

Biden never reacted to the Israelis when they killed ten Americans through intentional force.

Tawfiq Ajaq was a 17 year old American teen, born in Gretna, Louisiana. He was shot and killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Of course, Israel will claim that the teen was part of Hamas or some resistance group. They will "investigate" the incident. About 95% of the suspects who kill West Bank Palestinians are never convicted in Israeli courts.

Thus, Biden never reacted militarily to Israelis killing an American journalist.

Shireen Abu Aqleh was killed by Israeli Occupation Forces while covering a demolition of a Palestinian home. She clearly wore press and a sniper struck her in the head. Biden did not even respond with military force let alone condemn the killing.

Do you know that Israeli intelligence drives the United States with bogus conclusions about the Middle East?

And y'all upset over Joy Reid saying "start a fucking war."

The dozens of airstrikes launched by the United States late Friday are by far its biggest attacks against Iran-backed militants in the Middle East during this current round of conflict.

Israel wants the U.S. to go to war with Iran.

However the strikes in Iraq and Syria, an initial retaliation for the killing of three American soldiers, did not go as far as some more hawkish figures had hoped, as the White House tries to avoid an all-out war with Iran. Some regional watchers have warned that this apparent restraint — including telegraphing the attacks well in advance — may mean the militias feel emboldened to continue their violence against American forces in the region.

The bombings drew an angry reaction from Iraq itself, which summoned the U.S. envoy in protest and said the strikes on its soil had killed civilians and risked destabilizing the region. Syria said the U.S. was fueling regional conflict in “a very dangerous way.” Iranian officials have been similarly hostile, and Tehran, though also reluctant to see a wider war, has warned American strikes would not go unanswered.

“What you saw last night and what you are going to see again was not insignificant,” a senior Biden administration official told NBC News. “When you hit 85 targets over 30 minutes, that sends a strong signal about the capability that we have,” the official said, adding that “there are other things we’re going to do. Some you will see and some you won’t see.”

The U.S. said it had warned Iraq in advance of the airstrikes, something Iraq denied while accusing Washington of killing 16 people in the country, including civilians, and having “deliberately deceived and falsified the facts.”

The senior U.S. administration official told NBC News this was not true. “It wasn’t a huge heads up,” the official said, which they said was to be expected given Iraq’s relationship with Iranian-backed militias in the country. “But it is not accurate to say they weren’t informed. Iraq is a sovereign nation and we respect their right to express their concerns, but then they shouldn’t harbor these Iranian groups on Iraqi soil.”

Biden needs to end the aid to Israel.

In Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based watchdog, said 23 people had been killed.

The current relationship between Iraq and Iran is a complex one, with Iraq politically dependent on the powerful, Iran-backed militias based there, but at the same time hosting the American troops.

One of the most powerful of these militias, Kataib Hezbollah, has its “footprints” on the deadly attack against U.S. forces in Jordan, the Pentagon said. Kataib Hezbollah said last week it would pause attacks against Americans in the region because it did not want to cause embarrassment for the Iraqi government, which had called on all sides for calm.

But on Saturday, the militants hinted that this may yet change, posting a video to the Telegram messaging service quoting its military spokesman Jaafar al-Husseini, interviewed last month.

Carl Weathers Passed Away!

Carl Weathers passed away in Los Angeles.

Black History Month is off to an interesting start. We have lost another major player in the culture. A man who became a legendary actor after retiring from the gridiron.

It was reported that Carl Weathers had passed away.

Weathers, a former NFL linebacker who became a Hollywood action movie and comedy star, playing nemesis-turned-ally Apollo Creed in the “Rocky” movies, facing off against Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Predator” and teaching golf in “Happy Gilmore,” has died. He was 76.

Matt Luber, his manager, said Weathers died Thursday. His family issued a statement saying he died “peacefully in his sleep.”

“Carl Weathers will always be a legend,” Schwarzenegger wrote on Instagram. “An extraordinary athlete, a fantastic actor and a great person. We couldn’t have made ‘Predator’ without him. And we certainly wouldn’t have had such a wonderful time making it.”

Comfortable flexing his muscles on the big screen in “Action Jackson” as he was joking around on the small screen in such shows as “Arrested Development,” Weathers was perhaps most closely associated with Creed, who made his first appearance as the cocky, undisputed heavyweight world champion in 1976’s “Rocky,” starring Sylvester Stallone.


“It puts you on the map and makes your career, so to speak. But that’s a one-off, so you’ve got to follow it up with something. Fortunately those movies kept coming, and Apollo Creed became more and more in people’s consciousness and welcome in their lives, and it was just the right guy at the right time,” he told The Daily Beast in 2017.

Most recently, Weathers has starred in the Disney+ hit “The Mandalorian,” appearing in all three seasons.

“We lost a legend yesterday,” Stallone wrote in an Instagram message that included a video tribute. The actor stood before a painting of him and Weathers boxing and said, “Carl Weathers was such an integral part of my life, my success ... I give him incredible credit and kudos.
“When he walked into that room and I saw him for the first time, I saw greatness. ... I never could have accomplished what we did with ‘Rocky’ without him.’”

Stallone ended his video tribute by saying: “Apollo, keep punching.”

Creed, who appeared in the first four “Rocky” movies, memorably died in the ring of 1984’s “Rocky IV,” going toe-to-toe with the hulking, steroid-using Soviet Ivan Drago, played by Dolph Lundgren. Before he entered the ring, James Brown sang “Living in America” with showgirls and Creed popped up on a balcony in a Star-Spangled Banner shorts and waistcoat combo and an Uncle Sam hat, dancing and taunting Drago.

A bloodied Creed collapses in the ring after taking a vicious beating, twitches and is cradled by Rocky as he dies, inevitably setting up a fight between Drago and Rocky. But while Creed is gone, his character’s son, Michael B. Jordan’s Adonis Creed, would lead his own boxing trilogy starting in 2015.

Weathers went on to 1987’s “Predator,” where he flexed his pecs alongside Ventura, Schwarzenegger and a host of others, and 1988’s nouveau blaxploitation flick “Action Jackson,” where he trains his flamethrower on a bad guy and asks, “How do you like your ribs?” before broiling him.

“We lost an icon,” former “Predator” co-star Jesse Ventura wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Carl Weathers was a phenomenal talent, a true professional and a dear friend.”

He later added a false wooden hand to play a golf pro for the 1996 comedy classic “Happy Gilmore” opposite Adam Sandler and starred in Dick Wolf’s short-lived spin-off series “Chicago Justice” in 2017 and in Disney’s “The Mandalorian,” earning an Emmy Award nomination in 2021. He also voiced Combat Carl in the “Toy Story” franchise.

Sandler hailed his friend on social media, calling him a “great man” and “a true legend” — “So much fun to be around always. Smart as hell. Loyal as hell. Funny as hell.”

Weathers grew up admiring actors such as Woody Strode, whose combination of physique and acting prowess in “Spartacus” made an early impression. Others he idolized included actors Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte and athletes Jim Brown and Muhammad Ali, stars who broke the mold and the color barrier.

Carl Weathers, Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan.

“There are so many people that came before me who I admired and whose success I wanted to emulate, and just kind of hit the benchmarks they hit in terms of success, who created a pathway that I’ve been able to walk and find success as a result. And hopefully I can inspire someone else to do good work as well,” he told the Detroit News 2023. “I guess I’m just a lucky guy.”

Growing up in New Orleans, Weathers started performing in plays as early as grade school. In high school, athletics took him down another path but he would reunite with his first love later in life.

Weathers played college football at San Diego State University — he majored in theater — and went on to play for one season in the NFL, for the Oakland Raiders, in 1970.

“When I found football, it was a completely different outlet,” says Weathers told the Detroit News. “It was more about the physicality, although one does feed the other. You needed some smarts because there were playbooks to study and film to study, to learn about the opposition on any given week.”

After the Raiders, he joined the Canadian Football League, playing for two years while finishing up his studies during the offseason at San Francisco State University. He graduated with a B.A. in drama in 1974.

After appearing in several films and TV shows, including “Good Times,” “The Six Million Dollar Man,” “In the Heat of the Night” and “Starsky & Hutch,” as well as fighting Nazis alongside Harrison Ford in “Force 10 From Navarone,” Weathers landed his knockout role — Creed. He told The Hollywood Reporter that his start in the iconic franchise was not auspicious.

He was asked to read with the writer, Stallone, then unknown. Weathers read the scene but felt it didn’t land and so he blurted out: “I could do a lot better if you got me a real actor to work with,” he recalled. “So I just insulted the star of the movie without really knowing it and not intending to.” He also lied that he had any boxing experience.

Later in life, Weathers developed a passion for directing, helming episodes of “Silk Stalkings” and and the Lorenzo Lamas vehicle “Renegade.” He directed a season three episode of “The Mandalorian.”

Weathers introduced himself to another generation when he portrayed himself as an opportunistic and extremely thrifty actor who becomes involved with the dysfunctional clan at the heart of “Arrested Development.”

The Weathers character likes to save money by making broth from discarded food — “There’s still plenty of meat on that bone” and “Baby, you got a stew going!” — and, for the right price, agrees to become an acting coach for delusional and talent-free thespian Tobias Funke, played by David Cross.

Weathers is survived by two sons.

You're In F**king Russia! You Can't Sue The United States, You Dummy!

The Russian operative returns to sue the U.S. government.

The Biden accuser appears again. The losers of 2024 continue to grow. Many fear that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will eventually enjoy retirement from government. The polls show that President Joe Biden is tanking with core groups thanks to his stance on Israel.

However, there is a silver lining of hope. Donald J. Trump could be the nominee again. 

Most Americans are tired of the sideshow politics of Trump and MAGA. You see it in his events.

They aren't large scale events like he once bragged about in 2016. 

The coronavirus pandemic should be the prime example of why America should reject Trump. 

But he's gave us more money. Sure, he did.

Biden's lost and confused.

Really, have you listen to Trump at his rallies lately?

Biden's old.

So is Trump.

Biden's creepy.

I guess having empathy for his son, addressing his stuttering, being a caring person, regularly attending his Catholic mass, hugging Americans and telling corny dad jokes is creepy. But a man who literally said that he could grab 'em by the...., makes awkward kisses on women, says inappropriate things about Americans and he literally slept with an adult film actress is not creepy. A man who hardly even attends church and doesn't take any time to exercise or do physical activities. A man who literally eats a pizza with a fork and knife.

Yeah, this is not creepy.

If y'all believing E. Jean Carroll, why ain't y'all believing Tara Reade?

For one thing, Tara Reade did not sue Biden or provide evidence that verified her claims.

Yes, the accusations fall under federal watch because you are accusing a presidential candidate of a claim of sexual assault with ominous timing. Reade invited an investigation because of the company she keeps.

Maria Butina sung like a canary. The Russian honey trap who was convicted of being an unregistered agent of Russia probably snitched in 2019 when Reade made her first claims about Biden. Butina would have gotten 20 years for being a spy. 

So don't assume that Biden had anything to do with Trump's attorney general William Barr greenlighting an investigation into Russian propaganda peddling.

Maria Butina had a role in the propaganda from Tara Reade.

So once again, here's this woman back in the news.

Reade who accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault back in the 1990s has defected to Russia.

Although, I don't believe her, the accuser stated on Russian state television that she has left the U.S. and has asked Vladimir Putin for Russian citizenship.

Reade is a supporter of Vladimir Putin is an online troll desperately seeking attention. 

Reade had called upon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to investigate her allegations. Before they were to call her to testify, she left the United States and moved to Russia. 

Now she is living in Russia and trying to sue the U.S. government for allegations that the FBI was probing her claims. 

It's easily debunked. I mean when Barack Obama picked Biden as his vice president, they ran though a long list of issues and nothing like sexual abuse popped up. On top of that, he has a file in the U.S. Senate, the White House and National Archives. Somehow, the far right and leftist refuse to see this.

No. 1 - Reade is suing the U.S. Department of Justice because of an allegation she was investigated in 2019 and 2020. You stupid fat ugly sea cow. Donald J. Trump was the president at the time. Biden has no control of government functions when Trump was president.

No. 2 - Reade did not file a police report with the U.S. Capitol Police or made a complaint to the Senate ethics office or any government official where it is on record. Making a complaint requires paperwork. Reade said she lost hers. How in the hell can you lose paperwork when you are the one making the allegations?

No. 3 - Reade is living in Russia. Russia has no extradition with the U.S. and it is under sanctions. She can make a federal lawsuit from another country. If it happens, it will not be in her favor. Reade does not have any evidence of the federal government harassing her or threatening her with death. If she was honest about the allegations, she should come to the U.S. to make the case in public. 

Reade might get arrested for acting as a foreign agent.

Reade was a staff assistant at an undisclosed time. She worked in the mail room at Biden's then senate office. She claimed he inappropriately touched her. She claimed that staff wanted her to serve drinks because she had legs. She then changed her story to claim that she delivered a gym bag to Biden and then he pushed her aside and digitally penetrated her. She said he tried to kiss her and said she is nothing to her. 

Putin wants Trump in because the former president is an idiot and the U.S. has lost influence thanks to him.

She claimed she filed a complaint but can't find it. She made a baseless claim that her complaint is at the University of Delaware and Biden is intimidating her.

Biden denies the allegations.

During his 2020 presidential campaign, she filed a criminal complaint with the Washington Metropolitan Police Department, accusing him of pushing her against the wall in a Senate corridor and penetrating her with his fingers. 

In December, a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general was filed on her behalf, requesting an investigation into FBI practices that resulted in her First and Fourth Amendment rights being violated. The complaint never received a response, prompting this new tort lawsuit seeking damages for invasion of privacy, emotional distress and violation of state and federal constitutional rights.

"The FBI and DOJ has been weaponized by the Biden administration," Reade told Newsweek via phone on Wednesday. "Instead of trying to get to the truth, and instead of helping me when I went to the FBI, I had death threats.

It also claims that FBI Director Christopher Wray "unlawfully and unconstitutionally ordered" the secret operation that violated privacy and surveillance statutes, as well as engaged in unconstitutional searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, ultimately "forcing" Reade to seek asylum in Russia "in fear of her life."
