Deadly EF4 tornado rips through Logan County, Ohio.
Tornado outbreak in the Midwest and Kentucky.
Deadly.
We give $4 billion to Israel.
In the United States, you have to be actively working or looking for work in order to get food assistance, unemployment benefits and disaster relief.
We have probably hundreds of Americans out of jobs, out homes and out of resources.
These folks likely voted for Donald J. Trump. Yet, our government will not discriminate against those who need federal assistance.
I am assured that the president will visit Ohio to tour the damaged and be greeted by MAGA. Those folks are the ones who didn't lose their homes, businesses or life's work.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Mike DeWine (Ohio), Gov. Eric Holcomb (Indiana), Gov. J.B. Pritzker (Illinois) and Gov. Andy Beshear (Kentucky) were informed of a devastating wave of tornadoes.
Catastrophic damages.
One in particular destroyed the communities of Indian Lake, Ohio.
DeGraff, Russells Point, Lakeview, Midway, Orchard Island and Chippewa Park were hit.
Climate change is real.
But of course, many lawmakers in Washington will vote against any bill that curbs greenhouse gas and improve on emissions standards. Ask the insufferable lawmakers Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).
This is the far right House member's district. Jordan will beg for Biden to grant federal assistance.
Remember, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) had a tornado hit Mayfield, Kentucky in December 2021. The lawmaker begged too.
Jordan and Comer are driven by conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden.
Jordan and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) have not remarked on the situation. Vance did but wasn't in Ohio at the time. He was in Washington, DC doing an interview with Fox's Jesse Watters.
We have time to ban TikTok but can't pass legislation to fix roads, improve on weather emergencies and avoid shutting down hospitals.
A suspected tornado in western Ohio proved deadly Thursday night, authorities said, part of a storm system that also unleashed apparent twisters in parts of Indiana and Kentucky and left tens of thousands of homes and businesses without power.
One in Ohio hit near the southern end of Indian Lake, authorities said. It left at least three people dead, according to Logan County Sheriff Randall Dodds.
Logan County spokesperson Sheri Timmers told CBS News there were multiple injuries, adding that an RV park was among the areas impacted. It wasn't immediately known whether anyone was missing.
Multiple buildings in the Indian Lake area were damaged, Timmers said, but the full extent of the destruction was unclear.
The sheriff's office's chief deputy, Joe Kopus, said the suspected tornado caused heavy damage in Lakeview, Midway, Orchard Island and Russells Point.
The insufferable Kentucky senator will be a no on the TikTok ban. He is doing what his father Ron Paul done, be a libertarian.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID), Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) maybe the only senators who could kill a proposed House bill that could force ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a permanent ban in the United States.
The legislation was passed by most of the House members. Only 65 members refused to back this utter waste of time. How convenient the American Israel Public Affairs Committee was there when this bill was passed?
AIPAC was there pushing for this.
The U.S. members claim that the app is a front for Chinese government surveillance.
But in reality, it is a public relations problem for the state of Israel. More young voters are turned off to the United States providing aid to Israel and its unilateral support for that evil regime.
Also it opens up a potential free speech issue.
If signed by President Joe Biden it will cost him big time.
Rand Paul explains that the TikTok ban is Unconstitutional:
"What if they say Fox is giving misinformation on the election. You have foreign ownership, you have misinformation according to the government and they say, 'We're gonna shut down Fox.'" pic.twitter.com/z22t4PO5CO
Senator Rand Paul: "In China, they've banned TikTok. So we're going to somehow defeat the Chinese model by becoming like the Chinese and banning TikTok here?" pic.twitter.com/P6JptS8PpZ
Paul has been totally against any bills that ban free speech. The senator has made it clear that it will be blocked if it makes it to the floor.
He said it is unconstitutional.
TikTok also vows to fight it in U.S. Courts if this law is passed.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
Keep pressure on them with Israel.
TikTok ain't giving up yet.
Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.
They are feeling it. Democrats know the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies. They know that Biden is under extreme pressure to do something. Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters have vowed to never back Biden putting his reelection chances in danger.
The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. Let them know that bans on TikTok are bans on free speech. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
The so called "free speech absolutist" couldn't handle a Black opinion host. On top of that, he violates his pledge for his platform X to be a townhall of ideas.
All bullshit.
It will be a public relations nightmare.
Don Lemon, the former CNN host who was let go in 2023 after Vivek Ramaswamy cried about his interview style. Chris Licht, then president of CNN was ordered by David Zaslav and top Republican donors to put Lemon in his place.
They demoted him to their failed CNN This Morning. Placed him with conservative agitator Kaitlin Collins and fiancial agitator Poppy Harlow. Lemon and Collins clashed a lot and it cost him big time.
Lemon was involved in an onscreen argument with co-anchors Collins and Harlow over the pay inequity in women's sports. Lemon argued that "people are more interested in the men". In defending his stance, he stated that he could not be sexist because he had grown up as the only male in a family of all women.
In February after former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley called for "mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old"; Lemon said "this whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable, I think it is the wrong road to go down", before continuing "She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn't in her prime, sorry. A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s". His remarks were criticized online as sexist; Lemon later apologized, and did not appear on CNN This Morning on February 20; he returned on February 22.
In April 2023, Variety published a report alleging that Lemon had a history of misogynistic behavior towards his colleagues, including Soledad O'Brien, Kyra Phillips and Nancy Grace, dating back to 2008. This reportedly included questioning whether O'Brien was black, threatening Phillips, and mocking Grace. A spokesperson for Lemon denied the allegations, saying, "The story, which is riddled with patently false anecdotes and no concrete evidence, is entirely based on unsourced, unsubstantiated, 15-year-old anonymous gossip."
I bet you money, you respond to Musk with his bald head, he will block you and ban you from X.
He was fired in April on the same day Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox.
Since his firing, CNN fulfilled his remaining contract and was paid out.
He bragged about his return to television and social media. Musk asked for him to join X.
Musk owns X, formerly known as Twitter, and frequently proclaims himself a “free speech absolutist.” In a post on X, the San Francisco-based company said only that after careful consideration, it “decided not to enter into a commercial partnership with the show.” It added that Lemon’s show “is welcome to publish its content on X, without censorship, as we believe in providing a platform for creators to scale their work and connect with new communities.”
In a video posted to X, Lemon declared that “ Elon Musk is mad at me ″ and said he will be airing his interview with the Tesla CEO on YouTube and via podcast on Monday.
X cancelling Don Lemon's contract seems like a case of Elon Musk proving his critics right – revealing Musk to be thin-skinned and erratic – here's my analysis: https://t.co/rbl74vKQb0pic.twitter.com/0ADCdXDzHZ
Lemon didn’t go into specifics about the source of Musk’s alleged unhappiness, but wrote, “Throughout our conversation, I kept reiterating to him that although it was tense at times, I thought it was good for people to see and hear our exchange and that they would learn from our conversation.”
“But apparently free speech absolutism doesn’t apply when it comes to questions about him from people like me,” he added.
In a later CNN discussion with Lemon on Monday, anchor Erin Burnett played clips of his Musk interview in which the Tesla and SpaceX CEO grew testy when asked about content moderation and the spread of hate speech on the X platform.
March 18, the debut of The Don Lemon Show.
In the clip, Lemon asked Musk if he believed that he and his social platform held any responsibility to moderate hate speech on X. He singled out the spread of the “ great replacement theory,” a racist belief that, in its most extreme form, falsely contends that Jews are behind a plot to diminish the influence of white people in the U.S.
Musk replied sharply that he doesn’t have to answer questions from reporters. “The only reason I’m in this interview is because you’re on the X platform and you asked for it,” he said. “Otherwise I would not be doing this interview.” When Lemon followed up with a question about the criticism Musk has faced over the issue of hate speech, the CEO replied, “I’m criticized constantly. I could care less.”
X announced in January a “new content partnership” with Lemon for the show, saying it would post 30 minute episodes three times a week on subjects including politics, culture, sports and entertainment. That deal was part of the struggling platform’s efforts to bolster its content offerings and attract advertisers. X also announced shows hosted by former member of Congress Tulsi Gabbard and sports radio host Jim Rome.
American lawmakers spent more time passing bills banning things. They should consider passing bills that benefit Americans.
Not China. Not Russia. Not Venezuela. Not Cuba. Not Iran. It is Israel that is meddling in the U.S. elections. President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump are bootlickers to a foreign country that influences their idiotic policies.
Israel for way too long has manipulated me with this endless victimhood. All the while pushing for an ethno-nationalist state, Israeli government leaders [both left and right] have called for the eradication of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
The operatives have operated with shell agencies like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Anti-Defamation League. These organizations operated at the behest of Israel.
The unproductive 118th Congress keeps on chugging along. Change in party leadership will never happen if we continue to allow the status quo to reign. I mean it just a matter of the president signing it and it becomes law. Then we will hear the court challenges.
The House of Representatives passed a bill that gives social media platform TiKTok to divest in its owner ByteDance and sell it to a U.S. company or face a permanent ban.
A majority of Republicans and Democrats supported this. They seriously believe that the Chinese government poses a threat to personal privacy. Yet, they allow Meta, Google, X Group, Netflix and other entities collect your personal data. On top of that, I thought the Republicans were against cancel culture and the Democrats want to save democracy.
Biden said he will sign it into law if the Senate passes it.
Israel has been pushing for more support in its genocide of the Palestinians. So far, they have fanned outrage over octopuses, buttons, protests at synagogues, protests at Holocaust museums, blocking roads, blocking bridges, boycotting companies and calling for international sanctions.
Israel keeps calling it an attack on Jewish people and it amounts to antisemitic propaganda.
One of America's largest Jewish pro-Israel groups has thrown its weight behind a proposed ban on popular video-sharing and social media app TikTok citing 'anti-Semitism' and growing criticism of Israel among its mostly young users.
American Jewish organization, Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), expressed support for the United States banning TikTok in an open letter to the US Congress concerns such a ban would undermine Americans' freedom of speech.
Let me be very clear: AIPAC told Fetterman they had a TikTok problem and he jumped up to serve his constituents (AIPAC) by voting to fix their problem.
china and the ccp my ass. leaked audio from the jonathan greenblatt of the @ADL explains “we reeaaaally have a tiktok problem” when it comes to the issue of united states’ support for israel pic.twitter.com/bgAvOh6I0c
Today, @nyulaw Professor David Hashmall harassed and pushed a student who was protesting a “judicial ethics” event with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. Sen.

The smart thing for Republicans to do is not wade into this and just let Biden take all the heat but Republicans aren’t smart so when Netanyahu says he’ll defy Biden’s wishes to limit the carnage they’re going to jump up and down like some bloodthirsty hyenas. https://t.co/m3HWqbJGgx
"Our community understands that social media is a major driver of the rise in antisemitism and that TikTok is the worst offender by far," JFNA claimed, citing a rise in "anti-Israel" views and "overt bias and sympathy to terror with regard to the events of October 7th" shared on TikTok as evidence of antisemitism.
JFNA is an umbrella group for a large number of American Jewish organisations, all of which are also strong supporters of Israel. In the wake of the war in Gaza, it launched a $700 million fundraising drive to bring funds to Israeli groups including controversial first responder organisation Zaka.
The Congressional Black Caucus meets with the evil Benjamin Netanyahu.
The JFNA noted that TikTok's governmental affairs advisor in Israel resigned from the company in protest of the app's "overt bias".
Critics say supporters of Israel are weaponizing antisemitism to defend Israel's war on Gaza and the criminalisation of pro-Palestinian voices, including on social media.TikTok has been an important tool for activists and users to expose the genocide in Gaza and condemn Israel's atrocities.
Israeli soldiers have been sharing videos of their actions through the app, often mocking Palestinians or boasting about what are potential war crimes.
While TikTok has a reputation for censoring topics deemed sensitive by the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party, there have been fewer complaints than about Meta and X.
Lawmakers in the United States have been moving towards banning TikTok, accusing the app of mishandling user data, holding too much influence over Americans and claiming the app could be used to surveil Americans by gathering and exploiting their data.
According to Reuters, it is widely expected to pass, according to proponents and opponents. The bill would then have to make its way to the US Senate before becoming law.
TikTok was first unsuccessfully targeted by the Trump administration in 2020. However, the former President has since opposed the ban, claiming it would make Facebook, which censored him in the past, "bigger".
The Democrats are going to blow it. I am very concerned that their blind allegiance to Israel will doom them.
The choice is yours. You want to stand in silence to this foreign country committing war crimes and an outright genocide! Okay, good luck in 2024.
The fascists within the Republican Party will vote. They are motivated by revenge and are willing to destroy democracy to do it. The possibility of a Democratic Party collapse is looking seismic. We are repeating the mistakes of the past.
Not listening and dehumanizing protest against injustice is what Republicans and conservatives do. They always call anti-status quo protests, anti-American and the such.
The Democrats must disassociate itself from Israel before it's too late.
The Democrats can support Israel but also call for accountability and warn of sanctions.
The world wants to sanction Israel and put these criminals on trial. The U.S. which has a permanent seat at the United Nations keeps vetoing the decisions. It must end the veto and issue a decree to punish Israel. Or at least force the UN to reform veto powers given to the U.S., Russia, France, Great Britain and China.
The Israeli government is known for manipulating the narrative. Right now, the Israeli military has release an unrelenting attacks on the Gaza Strip. They claim they are trying to destroy Hamas and limit civilian casualties.
It is a lie.
They are launching attacks in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and pressuring U.S. lawmakers to punish protesters who are calling for a ceasefire.
The Zionists are really desperate in quelling the global movement. The movement to end the occupation and Israeli apartheid of Palestine will see fundamental change in American politics.
From theRiver to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! ๐ต๐ธ ๐
The Republican and Democratic primaries and caucuses continue. But one thing is clear, President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump are the presumptive nominees.
While Biden and Trump were the last remaining major candidates for their parties’ 2024 presidential nominations, The Associated Press only uses the designation “presumptive nominee” once a candidate has captured the number of delegates needed to win a majority vote at the national party conventions this summer.
This is fourth time both Trump and Biden ran for president.
Trump ran in 2000 as a Reform Party candidate. He got out after Ralph Nader won the nomination.
Trump ran in 2016 as a Republican candidate, became the nominee and was elected as the 45th President of the United States. He ran as an incumbent and lost to Joe Biden. Now he is running as the Republican candidate and will be the nominee. If he wins, he will be the 47th President of the United States. He will be the second president since Grover Cleveland who won two terms as the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. He is the only president to be impeached twice, indicted for federal crimes, indicted for state crimes and found liable for sexual assault.
Biden ran in 1988 as a Democratic candidate.
Biden ran in 2008 as a Democratic candidate. He was picked as the vice presidential candidate for Barack Obama, the first African American to be a nominee on a national party ticket. Obama was elected to be the 44th President of the United States. Biden became the 47th Vice President of the United States. He served two terms as Obama's vice president. Obama is the only African American to become President of the United States.
Biden ran in 2020 as a Democratic candidate. He became the nominee and was elected as the 46th President of the United States. Biden, is the oldest president elected. He also picked the first woman as the vice presidential candidate. Kamala Harris is currently the first woman and first African American to be the 49th Vice President of the United States.
Biden and Trump are both running in 2024. Biden is an incumbent who will be the Democratic nominee. This both Biden and Trump's fourth run for president.
The recent results of Tuesday's primaries
Biden carried Northern Mariana Islands, Georgia, Mississippi and Washington. He also won the Democrats Abroad coalition.
Trump carried American Samoa, Georgia, Hawai'i, Mississippi and Washington.
Both have enough delegates to secure their nomination.
Biden will continue with Harris as his running mate.
Trump will not pick Mike Pence as his running mate. The 48th Vice President of the United States and former Indiana governor withdrew from the Republican presidential race early after he was polling below 2%. He is likely to endorse Trump despite his feud with his former boss.
A presidential candidate doesn’t officially become the Republican or Democratic nominee until winning the vote on the convention floor.
Ken Buck's exit made Lauren Boebert's reelection chances slim to none.
He did not endorse the insufferable Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). Former president Donald J. Trump did and it will either help or hurt her in the race to replace outgoing member, the far right Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO).
Boebert has a 45% chance of winning the Republican primary.
Buck announced by the end of next week, he is gone. That makes the House Republican majority only 2 seats. If another Republican quits, dies in office or expelled, Democrats retake Congress.
“Today, I am announcing I will depart Congress at the end of next week,” Buck said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado and with my family.”
Buck said the House has become “dysfunctional” in an interview on CNN following his announcement and that Congress has “just devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people.”
“It is the worst year of the nine years and three months that I’ve been in Congress and having talked to former members, it is the worst year in 40-50 years to be in Congress,” he added.
Buck has often broke from the House GOP conference on multiple issues. He was one of eight GOP lawmakers who voted to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and has criticized his party's embrace of Trump and his false claims the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
As the party makeup currently stands, at 219 Republicans and 213 Democrats, House Republicans can only afford to lose two votes on party-line votes. With Buck leaving, that will trim the GOP majority to 218 seats, meaning two votes is still the cutoff for House Republicans.
Flashback 2022: “Clowns to the left of me / Jokers to the right”
Politico reported Freedom Caucus member Rep. Ken Buck tweeted this video and “knew full well that the lyrics slammed” Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene as “clowns” and “jokers.” pic.twitter.com/u86Vul6mhFpic.twitter.com/RGRx91qqcv
But it’s not often the House sees full attendance for votes which means Buck’s departure will force House Republican leadership to be even more calculating when putting partisan legislation on the floor.
So thus, a special primary and election could come forth. If Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado issues a special election, that person could end up winning the general election as well.
Could be the end of Lauren Boebert.
If Boebert was to win the nomination, she will be the candidate to fulfill a full two year term. If the person in the special election wins but also announces a bid to be the nominee for the general election, that could cost Boebert her chances.
Late last year, however, Boebert announced she was running for Buck’s seat after she barely won reelection against Democrat Adam Frisch in her district. Frisch is running for the 3rd District again, which would have created another expensive and competitive House race for Boebert.
Both parties will nominate candidates for the June 25 special election for the 4th District being vacated by Buck. Whoever wins that contest to fill out the remaining months of Buck’s term could have an easier path to winning the election in November to serve a full two-year term representing the 4th District in Congress.
That’s left Boebert in a bit of pickle and with a tough decision to make.
She could resign from her House seat early and seek the GOP nomination in the special election for Buck’s seat, hoping it would better position her for winning the two-year term in November.
The problem with doing that is it would further eat into the House GOP’s narrow majority. Republicans can only afford to lose two votes from their side of the aisle to prevail if Democrats are unified. Buck’s exit does not change that calculus, but it does give the party even less leeway for unexpected sicknesses and absences.
A Boebert resignation would also trigger a special election for her seat, which could flip for Democrats.
From the Waffle House to the Nut House. Nancy Mace becomes the newest member of the insufferable club.
The 1st Congressional District of South Carolina is a likely Republican hold. But the lawmaker who represent the district is now betraying the constituents who elected her to office.
This lawmaker talks out of both sides of her neck.
One day, she talks like a normal lawmaker when she is on the local news, CNN or MSNBC.
The next day, she turns into a nutjob whenever she appears on GOP Sundays, Fox or Newsmax. It is a downward spiral for the once influential Nancy Mace.
Please note, she was a survivor of sexual assault. But nonetheless, she shows no remorse, sympathy or concern for the thousands of other victims. Mind you, she doesn't believe any of the victims if they're women of color, anti-Trump or even children.
Also she is best known for a vandalism at her North Charleston home where she claimed, antifa defaced her sidewalk and her stairs. They didn't destroy her property and somehow they were not seen on her Ring door camera. By the way, folks noticed how she writes and the spray paint can inside the kitchen.
The 46 year old mother of two was married twice. Her previous husbands must despise her because of her behavior.
In the early morning hours of Memorial Day, my home, where I’m raising my two children, was vandalized with Antifa symbols and profanity.
Although my kids and I are thankfully fine, these criminal acts are unacceptable no matter your politics. pic.twitter.com/OIN5byPp0I
Thank you, @GOPLeader. The overwhelming and bipartisan support my family and I have received over the last several days gives me so much hope.
If we work together & hold ourselves accountable for our words and actions, we can restore civility to our nation's political discourse. https://t.co/oZz9rZ3t2c
We thought she had common sense. Nope, she is a Karen just like all of those idiots in Washington, DC. The idiots refuse to investigate the insurrection and hold Washed Up 45 accountable for inciting a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) once thought as one of the few rational Republicans in the post Trump legacy now embraces the MAGA disease. Now she becomes the newest insufferable lawmaker.
I bet her ex-fiance is hoping she fails. Late last year, Mace broke off her engagement with Patrick Bryant. He is a software designer and businessman from Washington, DC.
Many of her staffers left after there were allegations of her talking about her sex life, cursing out staff and being totally drunk. By the way, Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) has similar allegations.
Eight employees turned in their resignations after Mace fired her former chief of staff Dan Hanlon, reported The Daily Beast. Hanlon is now running against her in the 2024 primary race for South Carolina’s 1st congressional district.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why are you supporting someone who has been find liable for rape?
NANCY MACE: He was not found guilty in a criminal court of law.
Nancy Mace is just incredibly bad at this. Being completely shameless and contradicting yourself repeatedly because you're willing to say anything for Trump has consequences. pic.twitter.com/eKFRzUJ8Hy
I’m not going to be shamed for being raped by a guy who worked for a President who wagged his finger and lied to the American people about having oral sex with an intern in the Oval Office…
Now Mace is bragging about her sparing with GOP Sundays George Stephanopoulos.
During an appearance on the March 10 edition of "This Week," Stephanopoulos repeatedly pressed Mace about how she squared her support for Trump with her history as a rape victim, given that former president Donald J. Trump has been found liable for sexual abuse.
Stephanopoulos asked why Mace endorsed Trump after being found liable for sexual assault. Mace deflects and plays the victim.
In the wake Trump's financial woes, E. Jean Carroll came up.
"I'm not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim. I'm not going to do that," Mace told Stephanopoulos during the interview, prompting the host to say he wasn't trying to shame her.
Mace is trying to milk this in a tough primary. This woman was almost uprooted by Katie Arrington, a pro-Trump former state lawmaker who survived a nearly fatal crash. Trump gave Arrington his blessing. Now Trump backs Mace despite her reputation for backstabbing.
Who knew Nancy Mace liked to get down like that? ๐
Trust me, Kevin McCarthy is working on trying to oust her. Same with Patrick Bryant.
He probably got dirt on her.
As for any appearances on ABC where she can't get softball questions and not be pressed on her stupidity, it is a...
"I won't be going back on ABC anytime soon. I told him as I was walking out, 'Good effing luck getting me back on,'" she added.
"I was all ready to talk about Donald Trump versus Joe Biden and the 2024 race for the general election. ... But the guy literally led with me being raped. And you can see the pain on my face," she said.
These evil men call Palestinians "zombie murderers."
Quit blaming Palestinians for the crimes of the Nazis. They gave the European Jews refugee. The Zionist Agenda violently expelled Palestinians from their lands.
Israel has continued to violate UN resolutions and the world is demanding the country be punished severely. The U.S. is also under fire for abusing its permanent member status by constantly vetoing resolutions for an immediate ceasefire and sanctions. Talk about veto reform is happening thanks to the U.S. and Great Britain meddling.
The Israelis and American Zionists are calling critics of Israel, well.. dehumanizing terms and constant finger flexing. Some of these folks are actively calling for people to lose their jobs, their freedoms and their lives all because they oppose Israel and the genocide its committing in Gaza and the West Bank.
The former prime minister of Israel served from 2020 until 2021. He was a far right loyalist to the current autocrat Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli government is ignoring the American president, the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the African Union, the Arab League and European Union.
The Israelis are moving into Rafah.
President Joe Biden is so frustrated with Netanyahu, he has considered ending aid.
Yet, he still calls himself a proud Zionist.
Former prime minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett warned on Monday that “zombie murderers” would invade the United States if it decided to stop aiding Israel in Gaza.
Also he was upset over Hollywood actors protesting Israel. He claimed that Jonathan Glazer was shameful for calling for a ceasefire. He also warned the president that if Israel fails at finishing the job, then the terrorist will attack America.
“Politico is reporting that Biden is so upset by the issue in Rafah that he may condition military aid to Israel,” said CNN host Erin Burnett during an interview with Bennett in New York, before asking the former Israeli prime minister whether he believed the report to be a “real threat.”
Bennett responded to Biden's threats with a hypothetical and a dehumanizing of the Palestinians.

"I hope not because we’re fighting your war, Erin. We’re fighting the war against radical Islam. Hamas is not about peace, it’s not about the Palestinians, it’s about radical Islam, the forefront of radical Islam, and mark my words, if we are prevented from defeating radical Islam in Gaza, you’re going to meet radical Islam again here in New York, you’re going to meet it in London on the streets, you’re going to meet it across the world. Every Islamic radical terrorist is looking at what’s going on in Gaza and that’s their litmus test – do we have the resolve? And we knew it’s gonna be tough. We knew that. But you can’t stop in the middle just because it’s tough."
Radical Islam..... uh, Radical Judaism.
Then he compared reistance of Hamas and the Palestinians to "zombie murderers."
"I hope not because we’re fighting your war, Erin. We’re fighting the war against radical Islam.

They are not zombies. They are protesters and they want Palestinians to be free from the fascist apartheid of Israel.
The choice is yours. You want to stand in silence to this foreign country committing a war crimes and an outright genocide! Okay, good luck in 2024.
The fascists within the Republican Party will vote. They are motivated by revenge and are willing to destroy democracy to do it. The possibility of a Democratic Party collapse is looking seismic. We are repeating the mistakes of the past.
Not listening and dehumanizing protest against injustice is what Republicans and conservatives do. They always call anti-status quo protests, anti-American and the such.
The party must disassociate itself from Israel before it's too late.
The party can support Israel but also call for accountability and warn of sanctions.
The world wants to sanction Israel and put these criminals on trial. The U.S. which has a permanent seat at the United Nations keeps vetoing the decisions. It must end the veto and issue a decree to punish Israel. Or at least force the UN to reform veto powers given to the U.S., Russia, France, Great Britain and China.
The Israeli government is known for manipulating the narrative. Right now, the Israeli military has release an unrelenting attacks on the Gaza Strip. They claim they are trying to destroy Hamas and limit civilian casualties.
It is a lie.
They are launching attacks in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and pressuring U.S. lawmakers to punish protesters who are calling for a ceasefire.
The Zionists are really desperate in quelling the global movement. The movement to end the occupation and Israeli apartheid of Palestine will see fundamental change in American politics.

Word of got out from AllHipHop.com about the passing of a 1990s rapper.
The first female rapper signed to Def Jam Recordings has passed away at the age of 54.
Lichelle Marie Laws better known by her stage name Boss, was an American rapper from Detroit. Her debut album, Born Gangstaz, reached number three on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in 1993. Her name is sometimes stylized as Bo$$.
Laws was born in Detroit to Joe Laws, an autoworker, and Lillie, who took her master's degree in education, Detroit, and was a teacher at junior high and middle schools, formerly a teacher of business education at Lewis College of Business, Detroit. Her parents were both church deacons. She had two elder sisters. Laws relocated to Los Angeles after graduating high school, accompanied by her DJ Irene 'Dee' Moore. She was spotted by DJ Quik who stuck her on a track with AMG. Russell Simmons liked the track and promptly signed her to Def Jam West. Her debut album Born Gangstaz was released in 1993, and the singles, "Deeper" and "Recipe for a Hoe", hit number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart.
In 1994, Laws was interviewed by a reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who revealed that she grew up in a middle-class neighborhood (on the West Side, Detroit), studied ballet and piano, and attended Catholic private school (where she was a cheerleader), before majoring in business for two years at Oakland University. Laws had never attempted to disguise the truth of her upbringing; the intro of her 1993 album Born Gangstaz, "Intro: A Call from Mom", has her mother Lillie describe her as "a young lady who was brought up through Catholic school for 12 years; and dance schools, tap dance, jazz, piano lessons and all of that; plus, you went to college for three years..." "The album is, in fact, bracketed with a mockery of her rearing; phone messages from mama and papa particularizing a privileged suburban upbringing (Catholic-school, piano-playing, tap-dancing)" belying the record's "unyielding vulgarity and embroidered aggression" with a "brilliant... self-mocking disclaimer". Def Jef, who produced the album and suggested the inclusion of Laws's parents, observed, "I can't believe none of the reviews saw the irony of that. No one did!" Having left Detroit for south-side Los Angeles in 1990, Laws and Moore encountered its "squalid side... derelict hotels, feudal gangs, dealing and hustling". Prior to securing a record deal, they lived in poor circumstances, selling drugs, sleeping on benches, and living in low-rent hotels. Her parents were unaware of the lifestyle she was leading. In the wake of her first album, Laws and Moore stopped working together, Laws noting, "We couldn't work together anymore, but we were still cool"; Moore's Def Jam deal never came to anything.

In the mid-1990s, Laws relocated to Texas to record songs with Ricardo Royal, a.k.a. "Coco Budda", a rapper whose work she had admired. Laws settled in Houston, entered a relationship with Royal, and had a son, Lamar. Although living a more relaxed life, Laws recorded demos for a second album, funded by Def Jam, but the label rejected them, and she was dropped from the label. Laws took this development in stride, noting, "I was used to that kind of shit... I thought I was good enough to get another deal. But I just chilled in Texas. Then I got sick." Still performing shows despite waning popularity in light of her lack of new releases, Laws moved to Dallas with Royal, where she took a job as co-host of a nightly hip-hop radio show on KKDA-FM, where she stayed for five years, recalling in 2004 "that was a bomb job". By 1999, she was suffering kidney failure; she and Royal amicably split up, and she went to live with her parents, undergoing dialysis for three and a half years, experiencing "every complication that you have with... bad kidneys", and given a poor prognosis. At times of comparatively better health, Laws recorded with Def Jef, who praised her dedication, lack of self-pity, and resolve in the face of her health problems. In 2001, she collaborated with Krayzie Bone on his album Thug On Da Line. In 2004, she released a mixtape titled The Six Million Dollar Mixtape produced by Def Jef. In 2004, Laws observed of her more recent work, "It's still hardcore... it's me. I've been through so much. I try to put a message in there, but it's not preachy shit." Def Jef claimed to have "shopped (Laws) to almost every major and indie label and met with resistance... People are always asking about how she looks, what her age is... it's never about the music. I'll work with Boss when she's 45 years old. She gave me a new perspective on women."

It was revealed in May 2011 that Laws was in need of a kidney due to her suffering from renal disease, a disease that rendered her kidneys useless for processing toxins in her body. Laws reached out to the Facebook community for a potential donor. A donor was never found. In 2017, Laws suffered from "a major stroke and seizure", and on 31 January 2021 a GoFundMe was set up to raise $15,000 for a recommended medical procedure. By February 17, the NME reported it had reached $2,215; by March 3, it had surpassed the $15,000 goal, reaching $16,314.
The House and Urban Development Secretary announced her departure. Marcia Fudge, the former Ohio congresswoman who left to join President Joe Biden's Administration as the HUD Secretary said on Monday she resign at the end of the month.
Knowing how the Senate operates, Republicans will stall the next nominee to replace her.
“As a dedicated public servant for nearly five decades, I have been devoted to improving the quality of life for the people of this nation, focusing on those with the greatest need,” Fudge said in a statement. “Having worked at every level of government ... I have worked tirelessly to ensure that America lives up to its promise of liberty and justice for all.”
Fudge’s statement did not indicate a reason she was resigning now, saying only that she planned to “transition to life as a private citizen.”
The White House, in a statement, hailed Fudge’s dedication to increasing the supply of affordable housing and protect the housing needs of some of the country’s most vulnerable residents.
“From her time as a mayor, to her years as a fierce advocate in the U.S. House of Representatives, Marcia’s vision, passion, and focus on increasing economic opportunity have been assets to our country,” said Biden, a Democrat. “I’m grateful for all of her contributions toward a housing system that works for all Americans, and I wish her well in her next chapter.”
Since taking over at HUD, Fudge has focused much of her efforts on addressing homelessness and making housing more affordable – problems that worsened during and after the coronavirus pandemic. Last year, HUD announced a series of measures aimed at reducing barriers to affordable housing, such as zoning restrictions that in some places have become a hurdle to increasing the supply of affordable housing.
Biden thanked Fudge for her service.
Fudge has touted the fact that her agency extended rental assistance to 100,000 additional families. HUD also has built and repaired more than a half million units of affordable housing, issued more new rental assistance vouchers in the last three years than have been issued in same period over the past two decades and housed more than 1.2 million people experiencing homelessness.
White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton said Biden “certainly will nominate a replacement” for Fudge, but she offered no timeline for the process. For now, Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman will serve as acting HUD secretary when Fudge departs, the White House said.
Under Fudge, HUD “worked closely with partners at the federal, state and local levels to increase the housing supply, particularly the supply of affordable homes, while allocating historic resources to address homelessness,” Dalton said. ”And with Secretary Fudge at the helm, HUD strictly enforced fair housing laws and took a stance against racial bias and discrimination in the appraisal market.”
David M. Dworkin, president of the National Housing Conference, said in a statement that Fudge’s tenure at HUD had “surpassed all expectations,” and he praised her for helping Americans navigate the economic ravages of the coronavirus pandemic while prioritizing affordable housing policies.
Dworkin called Fudge a steadfast advocate for equitable housing policies, saying she championed initiatives aimed at “alleviating homelessness, expanding access to affordable housing, and fostering sustainable communities.”
