Manchin Goes Independent!

Joe Schmo goes independent.

White politicians, please keep Martin Luther King, Jr.'s name out of your mouth.

Do not share anymore honors to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor or any Black victim of police violence. 

Stay in your lane and avoid trying to do good by adopting Black children, encouraging us to vote for your candidates or your political parties. 

I am not sure on whether I will vote for either candidate come 2024.

The aftermath of the Donald J. Trump verdict. The Republicans and the far right junk food media agitators are calling for all hands on deck. They vow to support the former president regardless. Trump was convicted of falsify documents and trying to shield embarrassing information about his encounter with Stormy Daniels from making it a liability in the 2016 election. The Republicans still are backing a man who said he will be a dictator on day one. A man who will lie and deceive voters into committing violent acts towards other Americans. 

The Democrats at least hold their candidates accountable. Hell many of the progressives want American lawmakers indicted by the International Criminal Court for backing Israel in its genocide. 

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Now I hear the insufferable retiring West Virginia senator Joe Manchin who is friendly with Republicans is using his final months as an independent. The Senate is likely 50-50 now that Manchin, a conservative leaning senator left the Democratic Party. 

The 118th Congress is the laziest by far. Manchin is an example of it too.

Manchin, a thorn in President Joe Biden's agenda is using his last months in defiance.

He and Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema, another independent who left the Democratic Party complain that the Democratic Party is no longer willing to be bipartisan. Mind you, these idiots voted to give Israel billions to commit genocide. They can't fix roads and bridges, feed the hungry here, give shelter to the homeless here, continue to protect the status quo and embrace monuments to white supremacy (i.e. border walls, Confederate statues and refusing to give reparations to Black and Indigenous people).

Manchin has served in the Senate since 2010. He serves as chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. He said in a statement that over the last 15 years he has seen both major political parties leave their constituents “behind for partisan extremism while jeopardizing our democracy.”

Funny, protesting against Israel is extremist. 

The Jan. 6 insurrection was an act of political extremism. 

Holding Trump accountable is not extremism.

Protecting lobbyists and not voting with the party you aligned yourself with is political extremism.

“Today, our national politics are broken and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground,” Manchin said. “To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority.”

But his announcement left many questions unanswered. Manchin did not disclose if he will continue caucusing with Democrats in the Senate, where they hold a slim majority. And he did not indicate if he will be running for higher office in the near future.

A request for further comment from his office was not immediately returned.

Manchin announced in February that he would not be running for president, saying he didn’t want to be a “spoiler.”

“I will not be seeking a third-party run,” he said in a speech at West Virginia University. “I will not be involved in a presidential run. I will be involved in making sure that we secure a president that has the knowledge and has the passion and has the ability to bring this country together.”

The speech was billed as part of a national listening tour Manchin announced when he decided not to seek another Senate term. He told the Morgantown audience that he had no interest in being “a deal-breaker, if you will, a spoiler, whatever you want to call it.”

“I just don’t think it’s the right time,” he said then.

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV), Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) caucus with the Democrats. 

Four independent senators, a historic first.

It's A Sh*tshow!

Two term Republican House lawmaker Jake LaTurner of Kansas is out. He is fed up with Republicans acting like idiots. He is one of the youngest members to retire.

Rep. Jake LaTurner (R-KS), 36 entered politics in 2021 to do something for the constituents of 2nd Congressional District. A staunch supporter of the former president, LaTurner wanted to be a voice for Kansans who felt that his policies mattered not the Democratic incumbent. 

After watching the shitshow of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy being ousted and the threats of ousting current House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), I guess it has taken a "toll" on him.

He and many more other lawmakers are departing from the House of Representatives.

The "little guy" Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is no longer seeking reelection. The former House Pro Tempore who was a loyal ally of McCarthy saw frustration when House Republicans pressured Johnson on the sham impeachment inquiries into President Joe Biden. Also being bitten by a rabid Fox, not just the animal has drove him to retire.

He like LaTurner are quietly fuming at Reps. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Nancy Mace (R-SC), Jim Jordan (R-OH), James Comer (R-KY), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and numerous others causing chaos.

The 118th Congress is the laziest in history. They only came together when it comes to funding the Israeli regime in its genocide of Gaza and the West Bank. Both Republican and Democratic members surpassed the definition of insufferable. 

The very fact they are willing to give billions to Israel while it violating international law and is widely condemned for its actions is very definition of cruelty and culpability.

They have passed over 60 bills so far this year. Biden laments that a Republican majority and Donald J. Trump returning to the presidency could spell disaster for Democrats.

Even if Biden does win and Democrats retake the House or hold the Senate, they will have Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) slowing down legislation. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) have slowed down legislation and caused frustration among several members. They both are retiring. It is a waste of time to have either party in charge.

Trump has set America in decline with his rhetoric and constant disgraceful actions while in office or on the campaign trail. Biden is continuing it by holding on to the status quo.

To date, the 118th Congress that began its work on Jan. 3, 2023, has enacted a total of 64 bills, less than one-fifth of the legislation that was passed by any of the previous four Congresses. Even that sluggish pace constituted a grind.

Members described once-routine House matters that are now fraught with melodrama, from passing bipartisan appropriations bills to electing a House speaker. “The things that I’m most proud of that were the hardest to do were negotiating the debt ceiling, passing the National Defense Authorization Act and reauthorizing and reforming FISA,” Mr. LaTurner said, referring to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. With an arid chuckle, he added, “Those things would have been just normal business in the past.”

Many of the 2024 retirees echoed LaTurner’s sentiments. Few of them came to Washington expecting that performing rote tasks like keeping the government operating and maintaining America’s credit rating would amount to career highlights. Referring to this year’s bipartisan Senate immigration bill, which Speaker Mike Johnson has avoided bringing to the House floor for fear of angering the far right, former member Ken Buck lamented, “We won’t deal with the tough issues. The border is a tough issue. The Senate passed a great starting point, and we just walked away.”

Accompanying the increasingly joyless slog of governance are other mounting hardships. Since 2009, the salaries of both House and Senate members have been frozen at $174,000 — high pay for the average American but challenging for members maintaining residences in both Washington and their home districts. Aware of the low estimation in which the public holds Congress, they have repeatedly voted to deny themselves cost-of-living increases. “Sometimes you wonder if members should just wear sackcloth,”  Sarbanes said.

Though none of the 20 people interviewed for this article would acknowledge that financial considerations played into their decision to retire, one of them, Rep. Larry Bucshon, a seven-term Indiana Republican, said, “I think recruiting qualified people is getting more difficult and I do think you’re seeing some people leaving because of the pay situation.”

Another exiting member, Rep.Tony Cárdenas (D-CA) admitted, “It weighs on us, it does. And you know, Congress shouldn’t be a place where only the wealthy can serve.”

Even as Congress has become less rewarding, it has become a more dangerous undertaking. Nearly everyone interviewed had received at least one death threat in recent years, some of which had resulted in arrests.

“It’s something you have to take into consideration nowadays, that if you’re going to run you’re going to face threats,’’ said Rep. Grace F. Napolitano, 87, a California Democrat. “ If it had been that way when I first ran in 1998, my family would have been against it.”

For House Democrats, the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol represents a life-threatening nadir that has been difficult to move past. “I still experience trauma from Jan. 6,” said Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH), who said she was leaving Congress because of the cavalier attitudes of some in the GOP about the day. “I feel as though it’s impacting my ability to work with my Republican colleagues,” she said.

In contrast, Chris Stewart, the former Republican member from Utah, said Jan. 6 was not at all a factor in his decision to leave Congress. “Democrats are from Mars and Republicans are from Venus,” he said. “We fundamentally view the day differently. Honestly, it didn’t have an impact on my feelings about Congress or how I approach my job.”

Notwithstanding her decision, Kuster remains a member of the centrist New Democrat Coalition and had staked her six-term career in a purple district on being a politician who was willing to work across the aisle. Her views are common among the 20 interviewed, including many who named each other as legislators they were proud to have partnered with, like practitioners of an ancient ritual now facing extinction.

Most of them insisted that the calling remained a noble one that they would recommend to an ambitious niece or nephew, though not without caveats.

“If I’d grown up 30 years later, I don’t know that I would have made the decision I did,” said Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI), who in 2012 won the seat that had been held by his uncle, Dale Kildee, for the previous 35 years. “Because it’s different now. You have to brace yourself for a level of anger and personal disdain that was always a part of the political world, but never at this level.”

Kildee added that he hoped for a new generation of willing legislators.

Buck concurred. “It’s important not to turn the government over to the crazies,” he said.

Guilty As F**king Sin!

July 11 is sentencing for Trump.

Damn, a former U.S. president is a convicted felon.

Donald J. Trump has a 45% chance of winning. It is a real fucked up situation for Republicans. Should they support a man who is convicted of 34 felonies?

Is this the "law and order" party?

They will defend this. Disgraceful Republicans want people of color to be held accountable for crimes. They loose their shit when the king of white privilege. Trump is very definition

Nikki Haley, you want to reenter the race?

Anyway, the presumptive Republican nominee is the first major candidate to ever be convicted of crimes against the state.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Republican lawmakers, Democratic lawmakers, world leaders, far right agitators, progressive agitators, historians and you the reader are informed about the former president's conviction.

Vindication.

At 5pm, the jury in Manhattan County Superior Court had convicted Trump with falsifying documents to keep an embarrassing story from reaching the election.

Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and David Pecker are vindicated. The Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg proved his case that Trump lead a conspiracy of election interference.

Judge Juan Merchan set a sentencing hearing for July 11. Trump's sentence is up to the judge, and it could include prison time or probation.

Prosecutors accused Trump of taking part in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 presidential election and an unlawful plan to suppress negative information, which included concealing a hush money payment to an adult film star.

A felony conviction of a former president or party frontrunner is unprecedented, but Trump, who is the 2024 presumptive GOP nominee, can still run for office.

Trump called the jury's decision a "disgrace" and said the "real verdict" will come during the presidential election on November 5. Biden said on social media that his 2024 rival can only be defeated at the ballot box.

The indictment, the first of a former U.S. president, was approved by a Manhattan grand jury on March 30, 2023. Trump traveled from his residence in Florida to New York City on April 3, 2023, where he surrendered to the Manhattan DA's office and was arraigned the next day. Trump pleaded not guilty and stated that he would continue to campaign for the 2024 presidential election if convicted. The trial began on April 15, 2024. On April 30, 2024, Trump also became the first U.S. president to be held in criminal contempt of court, due to comments he made earlier in the month about individuals involved with the trial.

Before, during, and after the trial, the defense made requests for the case to be delayed or dismissed, for the judge to recuse himself, and for a mistrial; these motions were unsuccessful. The prosecution argued that Trump's 2016 campaign sought to benefit from the payment of hush money to Daniels through Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who was allegedly reimbursed via a false retainer agreement. The prosecution rested on May 20, 2024, after calling 20 witnesses. The defense argued that Trump was unaware of any allegedly unlawful scheme, that Cohen was unreliable as a witness, and that the retainer agreement between them was valid. The defense rested on May 21, 2024, after calling two witnesses.

What Happened To Samuel Sterling And Riley Doggett?

Riley Doggett and Samuel Sterling were killed by police officers using their vehicles as weapons.

Be warned, there will be graphic videos.

What is going on in Kent County, Michigan?

The need for police reform in the case of high speed chases, apprehension and community relations with people of color. 

Yeah, I know the Kia Boyz are annoying criminals who ruin the lives of motorists. I am a testament. The igorant Kia Boyz broke into my vehicle. They could not steal it because it was a push button but they seriously damaged my window siding. Someone also dented my passenger side as well. I am still frustrated that the police can't do anything about it.

It is vandalism and property theft. It is a crime that is replaceable by insurance. 

If it was a injury or death, the police would react to this more. Mind you, we can't kill a thief if the person is not posing a threat. Police will not buy the excuse that property theft is worthy of death by a civilian.

Michigan State Police sergeant used his unmarked vehicle as a weapon.

But oh well, I found my only solace in watching videos on social media of Kia Boyz getting a classic style of Black punishment. Back in the day, Black boys who caused problems would get their asses whooped with a belt. Those belts straightened out children.

Now if you put a belt to a child, you could be arrested for child abuse and children services could put your child in protective custody.

Kent Co. Prosecutor Chris Becker is about to announce whether or not criminal charges will be issued by his office in the death of 17-year-old Riley Doggett.

LATEST INFO ON THE CASE: https://t.co/fgEXwkXjWT pic.twitter.com/SfcuzeJgKU

— Michael E Martin (@MichaelMartinGR) May 28, 2024

Anyway to the subject of Kent County. It is in the lower peninsula of Michigan. It is called West Michigan. The city of Grand Rapids is the seat of the county. It has a population of 654,000 residents. 

Interstate 96, Interstate 196, U.S. Highway 131 and Michigan 6 (Paul Henry Freeway) are the major roads in the county. The Grand River is a major river in the state. 

Republican prosecutor Chris Becker decline prosecuting dirty cops.

Kent County is a fairly Republican area. Out of the 40 years, Barack Obama and Joe Biden managed to flip the county once. Obama in 2008 and Biden in 2020. It will make a difference for Biden of he retains the county. It is going to be challenging knowing that he had uncommitted in the primary take over 15% of the vote which equals over 148,000 voters. Biden won Michigan by 1.2% of the vote.

Gerald Ford once represented the area as a congressman before he became vice president and later president for one term. Ford could have been a great president had he not pardoned his former boss Richard Nixon after he resigned from office after facing a possible impeachment for abuse of power.

No mugshot of Brian Neeley.

The current lawmaker Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) faces a tough challenge. The freshman lawmaker supports Israel, supported the TikTok ban, condemned Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for her stances on Israel and voted with Biden policies 96% of the time. While Republicans are 100% supportive of Israel and its genocide because they relish in dehumanizing people. The Democrats are 95% supportive of Israel and the party's core base is disappointed in Biden and the party's support of apartheid ethnostate.

The type of training American police officers are given came through Israel. The Israelis use vehicles to run over Palestinians without any consequences. They used tractors, police SUVs and tanks on civilians. They trained U.S. law enforcement in Israel tactics on how to apprehend civilians.

Two incidents where police officers used their vehicles as weapons in apprehension. Both of the suspects died.

One man was ran over after fleeing an arrest. The Michigan State Police task force tried to apprehend him when a sergeant in his vehicle pinned the suspect into a wall of a Burger King.

Detective Sgt. Brian Keely, 50, of Grand Rapids, was part of a fugitive task force trying to take Samuel Sterling into custody on April 17, 2024. Keely is charged with one count of second-degree murder, which carries a potential life prison sentence, and one count of involuntary manslaughter, a felony carrying a 15-year sentence.

Sterling fled on foot shortly before noon, sparking a chase involving state troopers and other law enforcement agencies.

Sterling was in the parking lot of a Kentwood fast food restaurant when Keely struck him with the unmarked vehicle he was driving, according to authorities.

Smirking deputy Josiah McMains.

Officials said Sterling died later that day at the University of Michigan Metro Health Hospital.

On Tuesday, May 28, 2024, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged Keely with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.

Second-degree murder is a life felony, and involuntary manslaughter is a 15-year felony.

“Public integrity is a top priority for my department, and we remain committed to providing a thorough and just review and resolution in each case brought before us,” Nessel said.

Nessel argues Keely was grossly negligent and created a high risk of death or great bodily harm that could have been prevented.

Keely will be arraigned at 62-B District Court in Kentwood, but that court date has not yet been scheduled. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

 

One teen was ran over after a police chase where he jumped out of the passenger seat and the Kent County sheriff's department deputy who was a K-9 handler ran him over.

The Kent County prosecutor declined to charge the deputy for his actions. It will be up to Nessel to indict the deputy.

No charges will be filed against a Kent County deputy accused of hitting and killing a teenager with a sheriff's cruiser, according to Kent County Republican Prosecutor Chris Becker.

"Based on the facts of the circumstances, I did not find a basis to charge the officer," Becker said at a news conference Tuesday.

Riley Doggett, 17, died of his injuries in the hospital on May 9.

Rep. John James (R-MI) and Kent County sheriff, Republican Michelle Lajoye-Young.

The 17-year-old and another teenager were found driving a stolen Land Rover near the Allegan-Ottawa County line on April 8 when they crashed and tried to run away.

Doggett would be sideswiped by a sheriff's cruiser driven by deputy Josiah McMains minutes later, catching his leg under the car and landing hard on his head, according to the Kent County Sheriff's Office.

Two weeks after Doggett's death Tuesday, Becker announced that McMains wouldn't be charged in the case due to insufficient evidence.

Evaluations of multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter, reckless driving causing death and moving violation causing death, also did not fit the description of the incident, Becker said.

The driver of the stolen car, on the other hand, faces charges of fleeing and eluding causing death and continuing criminal enterprises, or CCE.

The juvenile could also be charged as an adult because the four minute, 45 second chase ended in Doggett's death, according to Becker.

The police using their vehicles as weapons now.

Tuesday's announcement comes just four days after attorney Ven Johnson, who is representing the Doggett family, claimed that the family has yet to receive a police report surrounding the 17-year-old's death.

Because of this, a civil action lawsuit has not yet been filed.

Johnson spoke with the junk food media after Becker's announcement of the charges against the juvenile driver.

"We obviously disagree with prosecutor Becker's conclusion that he can't bring charges, but that's his call," Johnson said.

Becky Wilbert, Doggett's mother, said they brought charges against the wrong person.

"The juvenile driver is not the one who hit my son," she said. "The officer hit my son."

Johnson and the Doggetts had demanded that police release footage of the teenager's death, saying that deputies should not be allowed to "hide it."

"They should not be allowed to hide this from the families, hide this from the public," Johnson said. "To be able to hide this video from the family and from the public for 46 days is shameful and disrespectful." At Tuesday's news conference Becker said the family had been allowed to see the video.

Dana Nessel must hold the Kent County Sheriff's Department accountable.

Moving forward, Doggett's family plans to conduct an independent autopsy, saying they believe the teenager's death was due to excessive and deadly force.

"That's not a side swipe, especially when you have the front passenger's side wheel running up the back of your left leg, taking your shoe off, and leaving a tire print on your left calf," Johnson said.

Wilbert is worried about the possible precedent this situation may set.

"These officers are getting out of control, and without charges being pressed, that more officers will think that they can do the same thing and get away with it, and that's not okay," she said.

Johnson said he plans to write a letter to Nessel, asking her to review the evidence and bring criminal charges against McMains.

Age Ain't But A Number But It Still Will Be A Biden Thing.....

Many of Biden's critics may never reach the age of 81.

Yes, his age is an issue.

Yes, his support of Israel is an issue.

Yes, his handling of the economy is an issue.

Yes, a lot of voters show concern about President Joe Biden as well as former president Donald J. Trump's age and health.

To be honest, I don't care about Biden's age. 

I care only about his stubbornness and willingliness to back an apartheid ethnostate. He said he wants to save the "soul of the nation." Nearly four years in and we are more divided than before.

To be honest, many of his detractors didn't survive. Rush Limbaugh is a perfect example of slimeballs who attacked Biden on his age and numerous other issues. He is dead and gone. 

Diamond, of the Diamond and Silk fame is gone. The Hollaway sister died and she was serving a dose of anti-Biden rhetoric.

I am waiting on Bill O'Reilly, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Roseanne Barr, Michelle Malkin, Tara Reade and Wayne Allyn Root to find a coffin to fit in.

Who's to say?

Biden is the oldest president to serve in current office. He said he can complete a full term and remain in office for a second term.

Biden roasted a reporter who asked if he would finish out another term as he met with supporters on a runway during a campaign stop on Wednesday.

“President Biden, will you be serving your full four-year term or handing over power to Vice President Harris?” a reporter shouted at Biden.

“Are you okay? Are you alright?” Biden replied in a clip aired on C-SPAN.

“You’re not hurt are you? I said are you okay? Did you fall on your head or something?” Biden jested and moved on.

Biden spoke at private preparatory school Girard College in Philadelphia as he and Harris launched their Black voter mobilization effort. Biden told Black Americans, “I’m still optimistic, but I need you.” He asked the crowd of supporters, “Are you with me?” The audience stood and shouted back, “Yes.”

Biden also sharpened his attacks on former President Donald Trump, saying that Trump “snapped” after losing the 2020 election and that’s why he encouraged the Jan 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol to retain power.

World Leaders Demand U.S. Cut Israel Loose!

Israel is the real terrorist.

We have lost our influence on the world. President Joe Biden, former president Donald J. Trump and Congress are viewed very unfavorably with world leaders. They see that American arrogance is the cause of the world's problems.

We are backing the wrong horse.

Let me be clear:

IT IS NOT ANTI-SEMITIC TO CRITICIZE THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

Israel will be a 2024 issue. Once this pass, I get the feeling that Biden will be the last U.S. president to support Israel. 

Presidents after Biden (hopefully Trump never wins a second presidency) will come to realize that Israel was the bad guy all along. Just so we are clear: Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. support Israel also. 

Over 150 countries have condemned the airstrike done by the Israeli regime on the Rafah refugee camp where that regime told civilians it was a "safe zone."

Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are threatening to expel the Israeli ambassadors and they want force an embargo on the nation. The U.S. continue to block efforts to punish Israel and it has the United Nations furious. 

The IDF and Eygptian military forces clash at the Rafah crossing resulting in death.

Images showed the area engulfed in flames as screaming Palestinians fled for safety, with some video shared on social media showing disturbing images, including severely burned corpses and a man holding what appeared to be the headless body of a small child.

The strike drew condemnation from world leaders just days after the United Nations' top court ordered Israel to halt its offensive on the southern Gaza city, where more than a million people had sought refuge.

In an address to the Knesset on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the strike “a tragic incident," his office said, clarifying comments made in Hebrew that could be translated in English as either “a tragic mishap” or “a tragic mistake.”

“We are investigating the case and will draw conclusions, because this is our policy," he said.

Nikki Haley doing her due diligence by writing her name on artillery shells.

As global outcry mounted, the Israel Defense Forces initially said that it had targeted two senior Hamas leaders, that it did not strike a designated humanitarian area and that it took steps to reduce the risk of harming civilians. It said a full investigation would be conducted into "the deaths of civilians in the area of the strike."

Qatar warned the airstrike could hinder efforts to reach a cease-fire deal, which had been renewed in Europe over the weekend. Adding to tensions, Egypt's military said one of its soldiers was killed after a firefight with Israeli forces was reported at the Rafah border area.

The IDF confirmed that “a shooting incident occurred on the Egyptian border,” adding that the incident was under review and that discussions were being held with the Egyptians.

Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to end this. 

Former UN Ambassador and failed Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley went to Israel to sign her name on the ammunition that Israel uses on civilians. 

The IDF said its strike targeted two Hamas leaders who it said were responsible for organizing terrorist attacks in the occupied West Bank area. It said that it was aware of reports that civilian tents were ignited in the strike and that the incident was "under review."

In a subsequent statement, the IDF said the airstrike was based on "prior intelligence information regarding the presence of the senior Hamas terrorists at the site." It said that before the strike "a number of steps were taken to reduce the risk of harming uninvolved civilians" and that "it was assessed that there would be no expected harm to uninvolved civilians."

Israel went to Rafah despite Biden's tepid warnings.

It said an investigation was underway into "the circumstances of the deaths of civilians in the area of the strike. The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians during combat."

In a statement, Hamas described the strike as a horrific “massacre." It did not confirm the death of the commander or the senior leader.

Earlier Sunday, Hamas' military wing announced a missile barrage into Israel targeting Tel Aviv, the first in many weeks. The IDF said that eight projectiles were identified crossing from the area of Rafah into Israeli territory and that a number had been intercepted.

From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! 🇵🇸 🍉

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 evil Israeli regime has fanned outrage over regime change, boycotting entertainers who support Israel, 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. 

Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.

Could you name one damn thing Israel's done for the United States?

The Israeli government through its proxies are trying to sway American lawmakers into criminalizing criticism of its actions to antisemitism.

Israel's latest excuses to justify the genocide:

• They claimed that Hamas wants to kill as many Jews as possible.
• They claim that Hamas has underground tunnels under schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
• They claim that Hamas was planning on building a dirty bomb.
• They claim that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.
• They claim that Hamas is ISIS.
• They claim that Hamas had a copy of Mein Kampf inside a base in a children's bedroom.
• They claim that Hamas was beheading 40 babies.
• They claim that Hamas misfired a rocket at a hospital.
• They claim that Hamas wants a regional war.
• They claim that Hamas had top secret plans to attack the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas has a calendar that showed the shifts of who was watching the hostages.
• They claim that Hamas shot female soliders in the buttocks and breasts.
• They claim that Hamas shot dead a civilian and raped the victim's corpse,
• They claim that Hamas has placed explosive devices on corpses.
• They claim that Hamas has infiltrated college campuses in the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas support from individuals amounts to being a terrorist sympathizer.

Hamas is not raping women and there is no proof they done such a horrible act. It is part of the dehumanizing campaign Israel is promoting to influencers in the West. You see it when they are constantly deflecting from the images of Gaza being destroyed by American and European sponsored Israeli weapons. In their minds, they are justifying the brutal slaughter of children, men, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage. 

Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or Iran. 

The IDF has the weapons to destroy everything. All on the American taxpayer, Israel has killed civilians, their own citizens and the status quo.

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 Democrats and Republicans to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Israel will be defeated.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

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. They beg Americans for political donations while using our taxpayer money to fund Israel and these stupid lobbyists.

Not one penny will go to Biden, Democrats, Kennedy, Trump and Republicans. 

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 this law on TikTok is a ban 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.

If anyone trolls you about condemning Hamas for Oct. 7, 2023, kindly ignore them or respectfully tell them that Israel has committed an illegal occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the West Bank. They shoot innocent civilians and indiscriminately bomb heavily populated areas in Gaza and the West Bank. 

Will you condemn the actions of Israel if I have to condemn Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas?

If you're upset over protests, why are you not upset over the treatment of innocent people being killed by Israel?

If you're upset over TikTok being a danger, why are you not upset over X, Instagram, Facebook, Rumble, Threads, YouTube and Truth Social?

Ohio Has A Poison Plant Invasion!

A dangerous plant makes it mark in Ohio.

Ohio has an invasive plant called the poison hemlock. It is a highly poisonous plant and it could be deadly to human and pet if injested.

Conium maculatum is a highly poisonous flowering plant in the carrot family Apiaceae, native to Europe and North Africa. It is herbaceous without woody parts and has a biennial lifecycle. A hardy plant capable of living in a variety of environments, hemlock is widely naturalised in locations outside its native range, such as parts of Australia, West Asia, and North and South America, to which it has been introduced. It is capable of spreading and thereby becoming an invasive weed.

Hemlock will usually begin to bloom between June and August.

All parts of the plant are toxic, especially the seeds and roots, and especially when ingested. Under the right conditions the plant grows quite rapidly during the growing season and can reach heights of 2.4 metres (8 feet), with a long penetrating root. The plant has a distinctive odour usually considered unpleasant that carries with the wind. The hollow stems are usually spotted with a dark maroon colour and become dry and brown after completing its biennial lifecycle. The hollow stems of this toxic plant are deadly for up to three years after the plant has died.

Mike Tyson Had A KO On The Plane!

Iron Mike had a mild scare on a flight.

As the veteran boxer prepares for his comeback with an exhibition match with content creator and boxer Jake Paul, Mike Tyson had an medical emergency on a plane.

On Monday, In Touch Weekly first reported that Tyson, 57, suffered a medical issue during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday.

“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” his representatives said in a statement to ESPN on Monday. “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

Tyson’s representatives also shut down reports that suggested that the boxer’s medical issue caused the American Airlines flight to be delayed.

“It’s false reporting that his medical attention caused the flight delay,” his rep added. “This two-hour delay was due to an air conditioning issue on the aircraft.”

On July 20th, Tyson and Paul will square off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The clash clout.

The match will be streamed globally on Netflix. The company is gearing up for live sporting events which include MLS, WWE, WNBA, NBA and NFL events.

Tyson is the father of seven. One of his children died in an accident with a treadmill.

Tyson has been married three times. His marriage to Robin Givens and the rape of Desiree Washington gave him a reputation of a sexual predator. The rape of Washington put Tyson in the iron college. He has to register as a TIER II in Offender U.

Tyson resides in Henderson, Nevada, a boom town outside of Las Vegas.

Tyson and Paul endorsed Donald J. Trump for his 2024 presidential bid. 

The Dayton Tornado Outbreak: Five Years Later!

The former Dayton shopping center on North Dixie Drive after a powerful tornado destroyed it in May 2019.

Deadly tornadoes hit Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Texas. Again, we give billions to Israel while our own country is dealing with crumbling infrastructure due to natural disasters like tornadoes.

Many of these Republicans who vote against funding the government and assistance for some of America's less fortunate are willing to give billions to a foreign nation engaged in an illegal act of genocide. Same with Democrats. They claim they want to protect democracy but endorse a fascist government sworn to being an ethnostate on our taxpayer dime.

When will American lawmakers come to their senses and start focusing on the needs of Americans and not Israelis?

Over the weekend, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex was hit with a series of destructive Ef2 and Ef3 tornadoes. The May 25–26 severe weather outbreak killed at least 18 people in total, including seven in Texas, two in Oklahoma, eight in Arkansas, and one in Kentucky. At least 14 of these deaths were due to tornadoes.

Today we mark the five year anniversary of the Dayton tornado outbreak. 

I remember working at my previous employer on third shift when the word got out that a tornado emergency was issued. The powerful Ef3 tornado formed around Brookville.

It quickly picked up speed and became an Ef4. The tornado ravaged through Clayton, Trotwood, Harrison Township, Dayton and Riverside. It restructures around the Wright Patterson Air Force Base and quickly became an Ef3. It continued to ravage through Riverside, Bath Township and Beavercreek. 

The outbreak also affected St. Mary's, Troy, Vandalia, Jamestown, Huber Heights, West Milton, Celina and Kessler. 

Widespread major damage to numerous homes, businesses, apartments, industrial buildings, and other structures occurred throughout the Dayton metro. Remarkably, no direct fatalities occurred in the Dayton area, though at least 166 people were injured. May 27 was the most active day for tornadoes during the outbreak sequence, with a total of 59 confirmed tornadoes.

Gov. Mike DeWine in his first term as governor of Ohio had declared a state of emergency for about 40% of Ohio's counties. He asked then president Donald J. Trump for federal assistance for cleanup and rebuilding of the communities affected.

Today the community is still the same. Dayton lost a grocer, numerous apartments, homes, businesses and scenery. 

Despite striking at night and producing major damage in a densely-populated urban area, remarkably, this tornado did not result in any direct fatalities. This was likely because most Dayton area residents heeded the warning issued as the tornado approached the city, and took shelter well before the tornado struck. In addition, only a small segment of EF4 damage was observed along the path, and was largely confined to a wooded area that was impacted. 166 people were injured by the tornado, however. In September 2019, the Montgomery County coroner ruled that an elderly Trotwood woman's death was caused in part by trauma from the tornado. She had been in poor health, and was trapped in her destroyed home following the tornado. However, her death was not officially listed as a direct tornado fatality in the National Climatic Data Center database. The tornado was the strongest to strike Ohio in nine years, and the first violent tornado to strike Ohio since an EF4 tornado hit Millbury, Ohio on the night of June 5, 2010. It was also the first violent tornado to occur in the month of May in three years.

Grayson Murray Passed Away!

Grayson Murray passed away from suicide.

Grayson Murray, a top ranked PGA golfer withdrew from Charles Schwab Cup Challenge on Saturday. That night, he found dead after an apparent suicide.

Murray's parents issued a statement to the PGA Tour.

“We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone. It’s surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves, but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world. It’s a nightmare,” Murray’s parents said in a statement. “We have so many questions that have no answers. But one. Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes. By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and – it seems – by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and he will be missed.”

Murray was 30 years old. He was a resident of Raleigh, North Carolina.

In his youth career, Murray won three straight Callaway Junior Championships and was the top-ranked golfer nationally in his age group. Murray attended Leesville Road High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he competed in golf and won both a team and individual state title.

Murray attended Wake Forest University, East Carolina University, and Arizona State University. He played in the 2013 U.S. Open as an amateur.

Murray earned conditional status on the 2016 Web.com Tour by tying for 74th at Q School. A tie for tenth at the Rex Hospital Open in his native North Carolina, in which he competed on a sponsor exemption, gave him entry into the following tournament, where he tied for eighth and guaranteed himself full playing time for the rest of the season. He had four further top 10s, including a playoff loss at the Digital Ally Open, and finished 18th on the regular-season money list, earning a PGA Tour card for 2017. On July 23, 2017, he earned his first PGA Tour victory by winning the Barbasol Championship.

Murray won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour during the 2023 season, winning the AdventHealth Championship and the Simmons Bank Open, the latter being a Korn Ferry Finals event. These results earned Murray a tour card for the 2024 PGA Tour season.

On January 14, 2024, he earned his second PGA Tour victory by winning the Sony Open in Hawaii in a playoff.

Murray was a Christian. After winning the Sony Open in Hawaii, Murray said, "Jesus Christ is first and foremost. Without Him, none of this would be possible. And He's just given me a platform to write a new story. To write my own story. And I hope that everyone at home watching can get a little inspiration from me."

In October 2022, Murray was severely injured in a scooter crash in Bermuda before the Butterfield Bermuda Championship leading him to withdraw from the event.

Murray died on May 25, 2024, at the age of 30. He had withdrawn from the Charles Schwab Challenge the day before, citing an illness. The next day, his parents confirmed that he had died by suicide.

Afroman Puffing Trump Smoke!

Afroman wears a flag suit as he greets Trump.

A bunch of washed up rappers, B-list celebrities and extremists are flocking to the former president. 

As President Joe Biden works to decriminalize marijuana, a one hit wonder rapper who briefly ran for president endorsed Donald J. Trump at the Libertarian Party Convention.

Biden did not attend.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Trump did and of course the two threw out conspiracy theories and simpleton bullshit. Since the Libertarian Party has no serious contender, Kennedy is likely the de facto nominee. He is running as an independent candidate.

Trump wanted to build a coalition to defeat Biden. Libertarians aren't buying it. 

“Within minutes of beginning speaking — and after enduring sustained jeering and boos — the former president turned on the third party, mocking its poor electoral record in presidential elections even as he appealed to them for their endorsement,” write Brittany Gibson and Peder Schaefer.

“‘What’s the purpose of the Libertarian Party … getting 3 percent?’ Trump asked the crowd, which proceeded to pelt him with jeers. ‘You should nominate Trump for president only if you want to win.’

“The libertarians in attendance didn’t want to hear it, as hecklers chucked insults at Trump all night. ‘Liar,’ they called him. ‘Panderer,’ they shouted. ‘You crushed our rights,’ they belted.”

Trump and his minions try to spin his booing.

Kennedy called for a debate against Trump. Kennedy said that Trump was responsible for the pandemic shutdowns. Kennedy claimed that Trump pushed for vaccine mandates and wearing face masks. Trump continues to blame Biden for the pandemic and business shutdowns.

Afroman got into the act. He decided to write a song to attack Biden's son Hunter. 

Afroman claims that Hunter got privileges while others got prison.

Afroman said: "Some people are above the law while regular people have to obey it. When you lay the facts out about Hunter, it's just a little funny, so we wrote a parody song to have fun with life and politics."

At the time of publishing, the video of the song, released by Baste Records, had racked up over 800,000 views on YouTube and had reached number three on the iTunes video chart.

Trump has 23% of the Black male vote. Trump only has 6% of the Black woman vote.

Overall Trump has 14% of the Black vote.

Other rappers and hip-hop figures who endorsed Trump.

1. Sexxy Red
2. Lil Pump
3. Waka Flocka Flame
4. Teddy Riley
5. Kanye West
6. Benny the Butcher
7. Forgiato Blow 
8. Vanilla Ice

Take this as a warning. The Democrats must change course on Israel. The president and Vice President Kamala Harris can't drop the ball on this. These entertainers want Trump back regardless of Project 2025 and Greater Israel. Republicans are hell bent on authoritarianism and if we get Trump it is because of Biden not listening.

Biden is walking the tightrope and it is snapping everyday we see a Black celebrity endorse Trump.

Afroman was spotted at the event taking pictures with Trump and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT). The Utah senator is insufferable and has no accomplishments. Also attending was failed presidential candidate, Cincinnati businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.

The Republicans have exploited Hunter Biden's mental issues and drug abuse as a wedge issue to hurt Biden. Since Beau (Joe Biden III) passed away, Hunter (Robert) had went through a series of depression and drug abuse. He admits he made mistakes. Hunter is facing federal charges for possession of a weapon while being on drugs and tax evasion.

Trump continues to exploit this as a way to get at Biden. Trump used X, Truth Social, The Daily Mail, The New York Post, Real America's Voice and Fox to push these claims of Hunter being corrupt and the president taking bribes from Ukraine. John Solomon, Sara Carter, Miranda Devine, Rudy Giuliani and Sean "Softball" Hannity are known conspiracy theorists pushing these claims about the president's son.

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

Biden, Trump and Kennedy support Israel. The apartheid ethnostate is continuing to ignore international law and is driving the U.S. closer into another armed conflict in the Middle East.

Big Perry We Gonna Keep Fighting For You And Palestine!

George Floyd change the world.

BE WARNED GRAPHIC IMAGES!

A FEW QUESTIONS:

If the Republican Party is the party that freed the slaves, why is it the party continuing to protect the remnants of the Confederacy?

If George Floyd was a criminal and deserved to die for an alleged phony bill, why is Ashli Babbitt not a criminal for breaking into the U.S. Capitol, shoving police and ignoring lawful warnings of force not a criminal?

If Joe Biden hates Black people, why did he get picked as his vice president by his former boss Barack Obama?

Why do the conservatives always compare their ungrateful actions in history to things that progressive done in the past?

If Martin Luther King, Jr. was alive today, would the Republican Party vilify him and cast him as a "DEI agitator" as they labeled Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Brandon Johnson, Brandon Scott, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris?

Today marks the four year anniversary of George Floyd's tragic death by the knee of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. On May 25, 2020, Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for over nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down on the street, calling out "I can't breathe", during an arrest made with three other officers. Chauvin was dismissed by the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) on May 26 and arrested on May 29. The murder set off a series of protests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul and across the rest of the United States, later spreading around the world.

Following his death, the City of Minneapolis settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Floyd's family for $27 million. Chauvin was convicted on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter on April 20, 2021, and on June 25, 2021, was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison. The other three officers at the scene were also later convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights.

As we mark today for the death that sparked a movement, we will now push for a Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and an end to funding aid and cover for Israel 🇮🇱.

The Israeli flag will be in the dustbin of history. The world will finally put Israel in its place and we will see a free sovereign Palestine.

Biden promised to get the George Floyd Policing Act into law. The president is stalled by House Republicans who control the majority, Senate Republicans who filibuster constantly, as well as Kyrsten Sinema, Joe Manchin and John Fetterman who oppose stripping the filibuster rule. Gridlock and insufferable actions by both parties.

Daunte Wright, Philando Castile, Justine Damond, Winston Boogie Smith, Jamar Clark, Amal Locke, Dolal Idd and Leneal Frazier were robbed of their lives by police violence.

We still fight a battle for the soul of our nation. Biden is on a tightrope.

Everyday I despise Biden's actions with Israel and the economy. It makes me very cautious about supporting his reelection. But every time I see Donald J. Trump, I remind myself of how he degraded Floyd, failed to take care of a deadly pandemic, constantly lie about issues, refuse to take accountability for his actions and led his supporters into almost uprooting the democracy he swore to uphold as president. 

Both of them are so fucking stupid. But given that Trump and Republicans will criminalize speech, punish Americans for having abortions, punish Americans for being transgender, remove the filibuster to ram through inappropriate laws and inexperienced federal workers.

Democrats are not good at messaging. They need to remind themselves that George Floyd matters. Palestinians matter. Ukrainians matter. International law matter. 

Today, we honor the movement that sparked at least small steps in how America views Blacks. 

Floyd's death changed television, radio, social media and some of our toxic politics.
