Debate Night!

CNN host two grumpy old men.

Tonight, the first presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump. It will also be the possibility of Trump revealing his running mate.

I doubt the two will shake hands. If that happens, wow.

Trump will be on the left, Biden on the right. 

Biden will have the opportunity to address issues without interruption, Trump will get the last word.

This also comes on the cusp of the U.S. Supreme Court releasing it's most controversial decisions. It will be one of the most watched debates in U.S. history.

It will be only on CNN and it will be streamed on its platform MAX, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery. Other networks can carry it.

At 9pm, Biden and Trump will shutdown Downtown Atlanta. Both are prominent U.S. figures and the U.S. Secret Service will be monitoring the area surrounding CNN Headquarters (Warner Media).

Both presidents have controversies and they are a drag on both the Democratic and Republican Party, respectively.

According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper, two of CNN'S prominent afternoon hosts will moderate the debate. Both Bash and Tapper have faced criticism for pushing pro Israel talking points.

Tapper and Bash had protesters at their homes in the Washington, DC area.

Biden and Trump are still emboldened to support Israel. That will be definitely an issue.

Here's the rundown of what I expect this debate will be about.

CNN picks status quo hosts to moderate debate between Biden and Trump.

The election, abortion, Trump's conviction, Israel, inflation, Supreme Court, members of Congress who cause controversy, favorite sport team, both politicians age, TikTok, Ukraine, Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump's running mate, economy, preparedness for a pandemic, protesters, accepting the election results, China, Russia, North Korea, immigration, gaffes, being truthful, Hunter Biden's conviction, lacking support from some conservative and progressive voters, along with many more.

It is going to be a repeat of their first debate.

Well not so fast.

Biden and Trump agreed to the rules.

The moderators will not allow showboating. The mics will be muted if there is constant interruptions, the questions will not be deflected, no audience and it will be straight to the point. Trump who normally interrupts will be forced to be muted. Biden who normally rambles on and on will be forced to be muted.

The insults on character will be clear tonight. 

Biden will immediately call Trump a convicted felon. Trump will claim that Biden is old and say he can't complete a sentence or he's juiced up.

The world will watch. I know I will.

Bill Cobbs Passed Away!

Bill Cobbs died nine days after his birthday.

Legendary actor Bill Cobbs passed away at the age of 90 in Riverside, California. He was best known for his memorable role in Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller.

Born William Francisco Cobb in 1934. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of construction worker and domestic worker, he served as a U.S. Air Force Radar Technician, sold cars and sold products for IBM. 

In 1970, at the age of 36, he left for New York to seek work as an actor. He supported himself by driving a cab, repairing office equipment, selling toys, and performing odd jobs.

Cobb credited Reuben Silver with his start in acting at the African American Performing Arts Center and Karamu House Theatre in Cleveland. His first professional acting role was in Ride a Black Horse at the Negro Ensemble Company. From there, he appeared in small theater productions, street theater, regional theater, and at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.

As an amateur actor in the city's Karamu House Theater, Cobbs starred in the Ossie Davis play Purlie Victorious. Cobbs was in Vegetable Soup (1976), a New York public television educational series, and he made his feature film debut in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three in 1974. Cobbs has an extensive film career and has appeared and been a regular on many television programs, including The Michael Richards Show; The Outer Limits; I'll Fly Away; Yes, Dear; The Sopranos; Six Feet Under; The Others; JAG; The Drew Carey Show; October Road; One Tree Hill; Star Trek: Enterprise (as Dr. Emory Erickson, inventor of the Transporter); and many more. He had a recurring role as George, a blind grief-support-group member, in the TV series, Go On, which premiered in 2012.

A U.S. Air Force veteran, Bill Cobbs sought acting after doing stints of labor living in Cleveland.

In 2006, Cobbs played a supporting role in Night at the Museum as Reginald, a security guard on the verge of retirement. The character also served as an antagonist to the story. He played basketball coach and retired basketball player Arthur Chaney in Disney's Air Bud and Medgar Evers's older brother Charles Evers in Rob Reiner's Ghosts of Mississippi. He had a role in the Coen Brothers' The Hudsucker Proxy and played fictional jazz pianist Del Paxton in Tom Hanks's That Thing You Do. He has a brief appearance in the 2010 film The Search for Santa Paws.

In 2013, Cobbs co-starred in Oz the Great and Powerful as the Master Tinker, and in late 2014 reprised his role of Reginald in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. He recorded a public service announcement for Deejay Ra's Hip-Hop Literacy2 campaign, encouraging reading of Ice-T's autobiography.

In 2020, he guest starred in the two-part series finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., portraying an unnamed elderly S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

He also appeared on the small screen with shows like Walker, Texas Ranger, The Michael Richards Show, The Wayans Bros., The Carmichael Show and Superior Donuts.

Adam Kinzinger Backs Biden!

Adam Kinzinger vows to reject MAGA. He will back Biden.

Israel controls our elected officials and the junk food media. This former lawmaker supports Israel and has denounced Palestinian protesters as sympathizers of terrorism.

His endorsement of the incumbent is personal. He felt betrayed by the party he was once a part of. He endorsed the former president in 2016 and 2020. He did not impeach him the first time when he used his authority to manipulate a foreign leader to investigate a political rival. He took issue with the former president whe. It came to the pandemic, denying the election results and sicing his supporters on the very definition of democracy.

Yet, he embraces a foreign apartheid ethnostate. Hmmm.

The former Illinois Republican lawmaker who supported the second impeachment of Donald J. Trump and was a member of the Jan. 6 House Committee has backed President Joe Biden. His own family [parents, uncle, aunt and cousin] disowned him because of his criticism of Trump.

CNN contributor and former lawmaker Adam Kinzinger has endorsed Biden.

He said as a conservative, he cannot in good sense support former president Trump, a twice impeached, multiple indicted, convicted felon who was found liable of sexual assault and fraud.

Kinzinger retired after Republicans and Trump vowed to destroy the 10 members who voted to impeach him after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump vows to go after any Republican who voted for impeachment or failure to endorse his 2024 presidential bid.

Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Anthony Gonzales, Tom Rice, Jaime Herrera Beutler, Dan Newhouse, Fred Upton, Peter Meijer, David Valadao and John Katko voted to impeach Trump.

Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) and Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) won in 2022 but still face the ire of Trump and MAGA. They are targets of Trump.

As a proud conservative, I’ve always put America’s Democracy and our Constitution above all else.

And today, as a proud conservative, I am endorsing @JoeBiden for reelection! pic.twitter.com/57GYrWsX5w

— Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 (@AdamKinzinger) June 26, 2024

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) who supported Trump in 2020, voted against impeachment but endorsed Ron DeSantis over him in 2024 faced the ire of Trump as well.

Kinzinger was leaning towards Nikki Haley. He said he will never back Trump.

Kinzinger posted online said, "As a proud conservative, I’ve always put democracy and our Constitution above all else."

"And it’s because of my unwavering support for democracy, that today, as a proud conservative, I am endorsing Joe Biden for reelection," he said.

The endorsement gives the Biden campaign a boost as the president tries to flip anti-Trump Republicans to Biden's side. The Trump campaign mocked Kinzinger's backing.

“Who’s Adam Kinzinger? Isn’t he the crybaby?” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said in a text message.

Kinzinger said that Trump is a convicted felon and a perennial flop. Idiot. A sure fired loser who will drag Republicans down with him. I am just putting it in layman's terms.

Trump will react to Kinzinger endorsing Biden.

"While I certainly don't agree with President Biden on everything, and I never thought I'd be endorsing a Democrat for president, I know that he will always protect the very thing that makes America the best country in the world: our democracy," Kinzinger said.

Trump and Biden are set to square off Thursday in Atlanta in the first presidential debate hosted by CNN. Another Republican critic of Trump who sat on the Jan. 6 committee, Liz Cheney, has not revealed an endorsement in the 2024 election.

"He doesn’t care about our country. He doesn’t care about you. He only cares about himself, and he will hurt anyone or anything in pursuit of power," Kinzinger said of Trump.

"We saw that when he tried to overturn an election he knew he lost in 2020. He attacked the foundation of this nation, encouraging a violent mob of his supporters to march on the Capitol to prevent the peaceful transition of power," he added.

Kinzinger said Trump has now become "even more dangerous" as he seeks a second presidency, citing past remarks by Trump calling for the "termination" of the Constitution and that he wants to be a dictator on day one. "And he’s continuing to stoke the flames of political violence."

He urged others to united behind Biden to "show Donald Trump off the stage once and for all."

"There is too much at stake to sit on the sidelines," he said. "To every American of every political party and those of none, I say: Now is not the time to watch quietly as Donald Trump threatens the future of America."

Bowman Falls!

Jamaal Bowman taken down by a foreign lobbyist group and its minions.

The Israeli lobby is a threat to democracy and trust me, there will be a reckoning.

A Black Democratic lawmaker falls to an old wealthy out of touch white lawmaker.

President Joe Biden needs us but I am certain he doesn't want the input. He said he wants to be a fundamental change president. Yet, he is the truest example of status quo politics.

I will no longer contribute to any campaign of a candidate that takes money from AIPAC.

Biden got donors, AIPAC and his own pockets. I work two jobs, why should I donate to him or his Republican challenger?

They don't fucking listen.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is defeated by AIPAC. The lobby put its affiliates in an obscure race and turned it into a referendum on how Democrats must assure their loyalty to the apartheid ethnostate of Israel for them to survive. Bowman became a member of the “Squad,” a group of the most progressive Democrats in the House, after winning his House seat in 2020.

Besides, he also had his infamous moments like the pulling of the fire alarm of a House building and his constant presence in the junk food media. 

Bowman opposing the bipartisan infrastructure package was also a mistake.

Bowman and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) always in the limelight.

Even if it is Israeli propaganda, AIPAC used Bowman denouncing the Israeli allegations of Hamas raping women against him.

Hillary Clinton, who lives in the district endorsed the challenger George Latimer.

The irony of Bowman's lost. Bowman defeat Eliot Engel a few elections back only to face his own rejection. 

Democrats elect this old fart who could be Joe Manchin on steroids.

Latimer wins.

A moderate who may pose a risk to the Biden agenda. 

Winners and losers of 2024.

On top of this, racism, Israel and misinformation from both Bowman and Latimer made it the most expensive primary race in history.

Biden and Democrats will not stand up to Israel or AIPAC and that is very infuriating.

We literally have two choices: Israel or Israel. Former president Donald J. Trump, Biden and the struggling Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. all support Israel and they will not hold that country accountable.

A leading pro-Israel group spent more than $14 million on TV ads to unseat him. And as the results rolled in, it became clear that AIPAC and its super PAC United Democracy Project had succeeded in making an example of the two-term member of Congress for routinely criticizing the Israeli offensive in Gaza. Still, many of the TV ads attacking Bowman or praising Latimer made scant mention of Israel and instead focused on infrastructure spending and other issues of local concern.

The House district, which includes affluent suburban communities and diverse urban neighborhoods, is not expected to be in play for Republicans in November, making Bowman’s defeat a triumph for centrist Democrats. Since the recent rise of progressives, Latimer and his fellow moderates have sought to drag the party back to the middle, especially when it comes to Israel policy.

AIPAC and its super PAC have spent heavily across the country in a bid to unseat other critics of Israel, but nowhere did they anticipate such an advantage as Bowman’s district, with a large Jewish population.

The AIPAC-aligned United Democracy Project in a statement vowed to replicate its backing of Latimer against Israel critics across the country.

“Latimer’s victory is another example of how support for the U.S.-Israel alliance is both good policy and good politics,” the group said. “UDP will continue to support leaders who promote our partnership with Israel and oppose detractors, regardless of political party.”

This time, instead of pressuring Democrats. The two options.

1. Withhold your vote and risk TRUMP winning. With TRUMP, he and Republicans will push for Project 2025 and Greater Israel.

2. Voting for BIDEN and when his second term begins, push harder and then withhold your vote.

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should 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 we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 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.

Boebert Survives!

This idiot won.

Israel is meddling in U.S. elections. Colorado lawmaker who faced scandals managed to survive a primary in a district she carpetbagged to. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will take residence in Highlands Ranch after she settles her divorce and restraining order issues with her ex husband Jayson.

Boebert is really insufferable and considered one of the laziest members to boot. This victory will hopefully make her take this job seriously.

But I doubt it.

Winners and losers of 2024.

Boebert’s resounding win over four other candidates in the new district across the state from where she lived before showcased her political cachet among Republicans and positions her for a likely easy win in the November general election. It was also a victory for her far-right flank of the House GOP that takes no prisoners, makes no concessions and has caused a rift in the party.

Taking the stage at her election night victory party, Boebert wore a pair of reflective gold sneakers sold by Former President Donald J. Trump and a white “Make America Great Again” hat with his signature across the bill.

“America will rise again, and I am so excited that you all are here to be a part of it with me,” Boebert said to applause.

Boebert responded to questions about her switch to the 4th District by saying, “While the crops may be slightly different here in CD4, the values are not.”

She promised to fight for policies including shutting down the southern border and also signaled that she intends to continue her combative style.

“A lot of folks criticize my approach on things,” Boebert said, “but I learned very early on in Washington, D.C., that nothing happens without force.”

In two other closely watched Republican contests, Attorney Jeff Hurd won the primary for the 3rd Congressional District seat currently held by Boebert, and political consultant and talk radio host Jeff Crank defeated Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams in the 5th District.

Boebert built national hard-line conservative stardom that likely made it easier for her to weather the scandals of the last year, which included the video of her vaping and causing a disturbance at a musical production of “Beetlejuice.”

While the theater incident and district jump rattled some Republicans, Gilbert Kendzior, 68, shrugged them off, saying, “Who’s perfect?”

Kendzior said he voted for Boebert because she shakes things up. “It’s gotten too staid. Same promises, nothing happens,” he said. “We need to get rid of the old farts.”

On Tuesday she beat a group of more traditional, homegrown primary candidates who had far less name recognition and generally less combative political styles: former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg; current state Reps. Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf; and parental rights advocate Deborah Flora.

Highlands Ranch, are you ready for a loud shrew to be your representative?

Sonnenberg congratulated Boebert and pledged to support her, saying, “I look forward to helping her win this seat in November and then being a resource to her on rural issues in this district.”

The 4th District, which sweeps across a wide expanse of ranches, ghost towns and conservative parts of the Denver metro area that make up much of the plains of eastern Colorado, overwhelmingly went for Trump in the 2020 election.

The seat opened up after former Republican Rep. Ken Buck resigned, citing the divisiveness of today’s politics and his party’s devotion to Trump. In a special election Tuesday to fill the remaining months of Buck’s term, Republican Greg Lopez, a former mayor of the city of Parker, beat a Democrat and third-party candidates.

In the 5th District, which is home to the city of Colorado Springs, Crank bested Williams after the latter faced condemnation from fellow Republicans over his leadership including the use of party resources to boost his own campaign.

Williams, a former state representative, has tried to realign the state GOP with the far-right flank of the national party. In recent GOP communications, he called people celebrating Gay Pride Month “godless groomers” and urged people to burn pride flags.

Crank is a more traditional Republican, less inclined toward fiery invective and the party’s hard-right wing.

Williams was already in hot water before the emails. A complaint against him with the Federal Elections Commission alleges that he used the state party email list to announce his campaign for Congress and spent party money on mailers that included an attack on Crank.

The race is to fill the seat of Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who did not seek reelection. As in the 4th District, the winner of the Republican-friendly 5th District will be favored in the general election.

We reward stupidity.

Another GOP House race watched closely on the national level was the 8th District, newly minted after redistricting in 2021 and hotly contested with voters roughly split between the two major parties.

Republican state Rep. Gabe Evans, a former police officer, defeated former state Rep. Janak Joshi, a retired physician, in the race to challenge Democratic incumbent Yadira Caraveo. Caraveo won the 8th District, which stretches north of Denver, by fewer than 2,000 votes in 2022.

Evans will likely benefit from a windfall of support from the National Republican Campaign Committee, which is intent on defending the party’s thin House majority.

And farther to the west, among the Rocky Mountains and high desert mesas, Hurd won the GOP primary for the 3rd District, home to Boebert’s current seat.

Hurd, a softer-spoken and less hard-line conservative, will face Democrat Adam Frisch, who lost to Boebert by only 546 votes in 2022. That narrow margin was largely attributed to Boebert’s divisiveness among voters, and Hurd is considered to have the advantage in the general election in the Republican-leaning district.

Still, Frisch’s near victory in 2022, which caught national attention and showed donors he had a path to flip the seat, has helped him raise over $13 million. It’s one of the biggest House campaign chests in the nation and far overshadows Hurd’s $1 million.

In the primary, Hurd defeated former Republican state Rep. Ron Hanks; Stephen Varela, a former Democrat who switched parties; businessman Lew Webb; and financial adviser Russ Andrews.

Shifty Shellshock Passed Away!

Shifty Shellshock died of possible overdose.

The frontman of the rap-rock group of the early 2000s has passed away.

Shifty Shellshock, lead singer of the 1990s-early 2000s rock group CRAZY TOWN has passed away. The group was known for their smash hit (one hit wonder), "Butterfly", and less for his solo career. He abused substances throughout much of his life and appeared on the reality television series Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.

Seth Binzer was born in Los Angeles in 1974; his father, Rollin Binzer worked as an artist and director, and his mother, Leslie Brooks, worked as a model and script proofreader.

He grew up primarily in Los Angeles with the exception of a brief period in Marblehead, Massachusetts.

In a 2001 interview with Rolling Stone, Binzer admitted to spending three months in the California Institution for Men following an attempted burglary, to selling and using recreational drugs over a period of several years, as well as to struggling with drug addiction.

Binzer married Melissa Clark in 2002. They had a son named Halo. In 2011, Clark filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Binzer dated a woman named Tracy in 2008. They had a son named Gage.

Binzer began a relationship with Jasmine Lennard in 2010. On March 27, 2011, police responded to a report of a domestic disturbance between the pair. Binzer was arrested for outstanding warrants and released later that day. In a video interview with TMZ.com, Binzer stated the disturbance was simply a noise complaint, and that the outstanding warrant was for counter-assaulting a security guard who was using unnecessary force when trying to throw him out of a club. Lennard and Binzer announced their engagement in 2012. Binzer was arrested in February 2012 for battery and cocaine possession, and sentenced to three years' probation; his relationship with Lennard ended shortly thereafter. Binzer and Lennard had a son named Phoenix. In 2013, Lennard asked a California court for exclusive custody of their son, claiming Binzer smoked crack in front of him and once left a crack pipe in his room.

In 2022, Binzer was dating childhood friend and Punky Brewster/Sabrina The Teenage Witch actress Soleil Moon Frye when he was arrested for DUI in Los Angeles.

Binzer was found dead in his home in Los Angeles on June 24, 2024, aged 49. No cause of death was given.

Julio Foolio Passed Away!

Drill rapper Foolio was gunned down in Tampa.

Only days after his birthday, Charles Jones, known as Julio Foolio was shot and killed outside a Tampa hotel.

From Jacksonville, this once promising rapper was cut in his prime.

Foolio had been out celebrating his 26th birthday at locations he had publicly announced on social media before he and three others were shot in a parking lot.

Tampa police say they received a 911 call for a shooting at a Hilton hotel address around 4:40 a.m. local time, and found two vehicles that had been shot at. Four people were injured in the shooting, and three are in stable condition and being treated in hospital, according to police. 

Police say the man who was fatally shot is believed to be Jones, but that positive identification is pending confirmation from the medical examiner.

The rapper's lawyer, Lewis Fusco, confirmed to local news station WTSP that Jones was shot and killed. Fusco said Jones was celebrating his birthday at an Airbnb rental but was asked to leave because there were too many people at the residence, and that he then went to the Holiday Inn where he was ambushed.

Jones, who has 1.1 million Instagram followers, posted on his Instagram account on June 14 that he was planning a June 21 "air bnb pool party," and invited followers to message him for the address. In the same post, he wrote that his birthday weekend would continue the next day at a strip club called Teasers.

In a post made several months earlier, Jones had claimed there had already been "multiple attempts" on his life. He had also talked about being shot in the foot, and posted images of himself in a foot cast.

Police say they are investigating what led up to the shooting and working to identify suspects. 

To all the Black firearm owners who support the Second Amendment or former president Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race, I just want to say...

"YOU'RE GONNA BE SHOT BY POLICE TOO!"

The National Rifle Association never reacts to lawful exercise of firearm use when a Black, Hispanic, Arab, Muslim, Indigenous, LGBTQ or underage teen of color is carrying them.

It is automatic dehumanizing from the far right, police unions and the junk food media.

When white men, women or even some Asians are carrying firearms, the NRA is often parading them around like they're heroes and protectors of freedom.

In about 45 states, I believe it is lawful for you to walk down a street with a firearm.

If you're a Black man walking down the street with a firearm, the random 911 call or the visual spotting from a police officer merits an automatic drawl of a service weapon.

Police officers within seconds are either shooting or premeditated an excuse to use force.

Foolio warned of the ops.

The unions back up their claims of "fearing for their lives" despite the perpetrator not even firing a round. Given that the junk food media loves to paint the aggressor as the victim, the police officer is given the benefit of doubt. The person police shot usually do not get any ounce of doubt. A mugshot of a suspect or a picture of a person posing with money or firearms automatically draws far right conclusions to justification of force.

Even fleeing from police with a firearm and not even pointing at them results in police shootings. 

If a person does survive, the state still charges the person for a crime despite the state allowing open carry and lawful possession.

So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."

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

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Life hits you fast.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence as well.

Assange Will Take A Deal!

Time served. Controversial figure Julian Assange will be released from British and U.S. custody. His white privilege led him to leaking U.S. secrets and meddling in the 2016 election. He will be sent to Australia with restrictions.

Deal or no deal.

Winners and losers of 2024.

Julian Assange will lose his ability to travel outside of Australia. He will banned travel to over 140 countries. He will be no longer able to run Wikileaks and obtain classified state secrets from countries. 

He will be free once he sets foot on Australian soil.

He will face a federal judge in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands this week to accept a plea deal that the U.S. Justice Department granted him.

Assange who fought to not be sitting in a federal time out awaiting trial on the continental U.S. soil will accept guilt for stealing and distribution of classified documents from Chelsea Manning.

The whole ordeal was 15 years of turmoil for the founder of Wikileaks. He spent about 5.4 years in a British Federal Lock. 

After he was unceremoniously booted from the Ecuadorian embassy in London after numerous violations of trust, Assange went to lock up and literally went total mental case.

But now he is expected to be extradited from Great Britian to the U.S. commonwealth within hours. He will make his first appearance in court on Tuesday night (Wednesday at 9am in the Northern Mariana Islands).

Assange was charged by criminal information — which typically signifies a plea deal — with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the court documents say. A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the Northern Mariana Islands District said that Assange would appear in court to plead guilty and that the Justice Department expects he will return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.

Manglona is the Chief Justice of the District Court of the Northern Mariana Islands and was appointed by then president Barack Obama.

U.S. charges against Assange stem from one of the largest publications of classified information in American history, which took place during President Barack Obama's first term. Starting in late 2009, according to the government, Assange conspired with Chelsea Manning, a military intelligence analyst, to use his WikiLeaks website to disclose tens of thousands of activity reports about the war in Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of reports about the war in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of State Department cables and assessment briefs of detainees at the U.S. detention camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Looks like Assange was eating good.

Court documents revealing Assange's plea deal were filed Monday evening in U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean. Assange was expected to appear in that court and to be sentenced to 62 months, with credit for time served in British prison, meaning he would be free to return to Australia, where he was born.

Assange has been held in the high-security Belmarsh Prison on the outskirts of London for five years, and he previously spent seven years in self-exile at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London — where he reportedly fathered two children — until his asylum was withdrawn and he was forcibly carried out of the embassy and arrested in April 2019. A superseding indictment was returned more than five years ago, in May 2019, and a second superseding indictment was returned in June 2020.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a…

Assange has been fighting extradition for more than a decade: first in connection with a sex crimes case in Sweden, then in connection with the case against him in the United States. In March, the High Court in London gave him permission for a full hearing on his appeal as he sought assurances that he could rely upon the First Amendment at a trial in the U.S. In May, two judges on the High Court said he could have a full hearing on whether he would be discriminated against in the U.S. because he is a foreign national. A hearing on the issue of Assange's free speech rights had been scheduled for July 9-10.

WikiLeaks also published hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee that upended the 2016 presidential race. Russian intelligence officers were subsequently indicted in connection with the hacking in 2018 in a case brought by then-special counsel Robert Mueller. At a joint news conference with then-President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin days later, Trump contradicted the indictment and the intelligence community, saying Putin was "extremely strong and powerful in his denial" that Russians interfered in the 2016 election to help him win.

Manning was sentenced to 35 years in a military prison, but Obama commuted her sentence in the final days of his presidency in 2017. Manning was subsequently held in contempt of court for nearly a year after she refused to answer questions for a grand jury; she was then released after an attempted suicide.

Texas Woman Tries To Drown Children Because They Were Palestinians!

The face of evil. Texas woman tries to drown children. She was a Jewish woman angered by a Palestinian Muslim woman speaking in Arabic.

Avoid Jeffrey Shaun King as a source or a person soliciting for donations to help the victims of hate crimes.

The Anti-Defamation League is no longer a reliable source on Wikipedia. The organization is a front group for the state of Israel. The ADL has fanned the flames and now here comes the damages. The ADL has declared war on Wikipedia and it is using its influence to make the social media company get in line.

Being labeled antisemitic is career damaging if the ADL, Simon Wiesenthal Center and AIPAC gets involved. Politicians, entertainers and athletes have face the ire of the ADL.

Student protesters and people of color have been targets of the ADL.

Its leader Jonathan Greenblatt gets access to the junk food media to spew hate while claiming he's on the side of civil rights and protecting those who are marginalized. Yet, the marginalized are only scapegoats when they are harmed.

Attempted murder, a hate crime, a light bail, no national coverage and Google misleading information. It doesn't even mention religion of the suspect. The incident happened over a month ago and it finally came to the junk food media's attention.

The Israeli government has interfered in U.S. politics and businesses. Google, X, Meta and soon TikTok must align themselves with Israel and Zionists. They censor stories, deplatform content creators, take every accusation of antisemitism as legitimate reasons to terminate accounts and refuse to platform Palestinian sovereignty. Everything is labeled complicated or the talk is a "two state" solution or "Hamas." 

Israel is literally tearing America apart. The leaders of the Israeli regime are rooting for Donald J. Trump to return to power. President Joe Biden is caught in a crossroads between either losing support from Blacks, Arab American, progressives, Muslims and Jews by taking a side in this ongoing conflict world leaders see a genocide.

Suspect is now in protective custody after the incident went viral. She is out and awaiting trial.

When 96% of the world wants to hold Israel accountable for its actions, it's the European Union, Great Britain, and the United States always resisting the actions as well as recognizing Palestinian sovereignty.

Hate is on the rise and its thanks to the junk food media picking and choosing what is deemed sensational.

It started over a woman speaking in Arabic language and wearing a hijab.

A Texas Zionist tried to drown a girl and baby boy who were at an apartment pool in Euless, Texas. She attacked the mother, ripped off her hijab and tried to sucker punch her.

Elizabeth Wolf is out on bail after she posted a $40,000 bail. She was charged with felonious assault and attempted murder. The charges alone could put her in the iron college for LIFE. Yet, they didn't put it as a hate crime.

Police responded to the apartment complex pool in Euless around 5:44 p.m. May 19 regarding “a disturbance between two women,” Euless police said in a news release.

“Upon arrival, officers were told by witnesses that a woman who was very intoxicated had tried to drown a child and argued with the child’s mother,” police said.

The child’s mother, 32, told police that the suspect, identified as Wolf, 42, questioned where she was from and made statements about her not being American, as well as “other racial statements.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, said in a news release that the mother visibly appeared to be Muslim, as she was wearing a hijab and modest swimwear.

Wolf also asked the woman whether two of the children in the pool were hers before she tried to grab one of them, a 6-year-old boy, who was able to get away, police alleged.

“The mother began helping her son when Wolf grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and forced her underwater,” police said. “The mother was able to pull her daughter from the water. Her daughter had been yelling for help and was coughing up water.”

CAIR alleged that Wolf also snatched the mother’s headscarf off while she tried to save her daughter and beat her with it.

Google screwed up.

Both children were “medically cleared” at the scene, police said.

Wolf was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication as she tried to leave the scene. She was charged with attempted capital murder and injury to a child. Police don’t believe that Wolf and the victim’s mother knew each other before the May 19 incident.

CAIR said the mother, whom it identified as “Mrs. H.,” said her daughter is traumatized by the incident and hides whenever she opens their apartment door out of fear that Wolf “will come and immerse her head in the water again.”

“We are American citizens, originally from Palestine, and I don’t know where to go to feel safe with my kids,” CAIR quoted her as saying. “My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here.”

CAIR’s Texas branch called on federal and state authorities to investigate the incident as a hate crime. Euless police have recommended that the incident be considered a hate crime, and the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office is investigating it, a police spokesperson told NBC News.

Shaimaa Zayan, CAIR’s Austin operations manager, said, “We are seeing a new level of bigotry here where a person deeply believes they get to decide, based on religion, spoken language and country of origin, whose kids deserve to stay alive and whose don’t.”

In April, CAIR reported receiving 8,061 complaints nationally last year from Muslims who reported experiencing discrimination or hate incidents. It’s the most the group has ever gotten at any point in its 30-year history, including after 9/11. The council also reported receiving 3,578 complaints during the last three months last year.

State Rep. Salman Bhojani, a Democrat who represents the area in the Texas House, said he was “shocked and appalled” by the alleged racist incident.

“Hate has no place in Euless, District 92, or anywhere in our great state,” Bhojani said.

It’s not clear whether Wolf has an attorney.

When you search for "Elizabeth Wolf," the Google heading reads: "Muslim woman accused of trying to drown children." She is not Muslim. She was a Jewish woman who started the incident.

Google finally corrected the search. But the misinformation was seen by millions.

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

Deadly Nightclub: Mass Shooting In Columbus!

Another mass shooting in Columbus, Ohio.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Mike DeWine, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and the U.S. Representatives of Ohio were notified of a mass shooting in the city of Columbus.

Columbus is the state capital and Ohio's largest city. It is the second largest Midwestern city in the country with a population of 1.04 million.

Victims were teens to adults and mostly males.

The city has a be on the lookout for a vehicle that is possibly involved in the shooting.

10 people are injured after a mass shooting early Sunday morning in the Short North Arts District near Downtown Columbus.

Columbus police said 10 people were shot on the 1100 block of North High Street just before 2:30 a.m. One of the victims, a man, was taken to a hospital in critical condition while the other nine were taken in stable condition.

Among the 10 shooting victims, which police said were all men, two are juveniles while the other eight are adults. CPD said the ages of the victims range from 16 to 27. Six of the victims were found with gunshot wounds at the scene while four others had been taken to a hospital before officers responded.

CPD said in a Sunday morning update that all 10 victims are expected to recover from their injuries. Police remain at the scene conducting its investigation.

Columbus police Sgt. Joe Albert said a male suspect was located by special duty officers right after the shooting. A chase ensued with the suspect vehicle going the wrong-way on North 4th Street. The car then got on I-670 Westbound before police lost the car near the Grandview Avenue exit.

CPD said they identified the suspect vehicle as a white Honda Civic and ask anyone with information contact them.

This is the second time in a little over one year a mass shooting occurred in the Short North. On May 6, 2023, two simultaneous shootings happened overnight that left at least 10 people shot, including one person being shot by an officer.

11 firearms were recovered from the May 2023 shootings and none of the officers that fired shots will face charges. Last year’s mass shooting prompted months of heightened security measures.

On May 18, three people were killed in mass shooting near the Short North between Weinland Park and Italian Village. At 2:32 a.m., police said a shooting occurred at the intersection of East 5th Avenue and Summit Street. Six people were shot with three men being pronounced dead.

A nightclub was the scene of this weekend's mass shooting.

This is the third time in just over a year that there’s been a major shooting in the arts district.

To all the Black firearm owners who support the Second Amendment or former president Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race, I just want to say...

"YOU'RE GONNA BE SHOT BY POLICE TOO!"

The National Rifle Association never reacts to lawful exercise of firearm use when a Black, Hispanic, Arab, Muslim, Indigenous, LGBTQ or underage teen of color is carrying them.

It is automatic dehumanizing from the far right, police unions and the junk food media.

When white men, women or even some Asians are carrying firearms, the NRA is often parading them around like they're heroes and protectors of freedom.

In about 45 states, I believe it is lawful for you to walk down a street with a firearm.

If you're a Black man walking down the street with a firearm, the random 911 call or the visual spotting from a police officer merits an automatic drawl of a service weapon.

Police officers within seconds are either shooting or premeditated an excuse to use force.

The unions back up their claims of "fearing for their lives" despite the perpetrator not even firing a round. Given that the junk food media loves to paint the aggressor as the victim, the police officer is given the benefit of doubt. The person police shot usually do not get any ounce of doubt. A mugshot of a suspect or a picture of a person posing with money or firearms automatically draws far right conclusions to justification of force.

Even fleeing from police with a firearm and not even pointing at them results in police shootings. 

If a person does survive, the state still charges the person for a crime despite the state allowing open carry and lawful possession.

So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

Short North is a very popular district in Columbus.

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."

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

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

America has a problem.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence as well.

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 we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. Let them know you are very tired of your lawmakers embarrassing themselves in the media. You are tired of your lawmakers always being outside their district or state. You elected them to serve their districts and state not travel across the country or to foreign countries on your taxpayer dollars. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 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.
