Shelley Duvall Passed Away!

Shelley Duvall, life was troubled. She passed away from diabetes.

The former actress and reclusive has passed away. Best known for her role as Wendy Torrance, the protagonist and scream queen from The Shining, Shelley Duvall has passed away from complications from diabetes. She was 75 years old.

She was driven from Hollywood because of Stanley Kubrick. The director called her ugly, useless and not a good actress while filming the movie. Jack Nicholson defended her and thought of the movie role she had didn't given enough screen time. 

She was diagnosed as schizophrenic and bipolar, a lifelong smoker and a recluse. She was living in Texas with her partner. 

Iconic.

Dr. Phil McGraw, a controversial phony psychologist and media personality tried to exploit her mental illness and hoarding life. More on that later.

She returned to acting briefly after being out of it for nearly 20 years.

Duvall died Thursday in her sleep at home in Blanco, Texas, her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy, announced. The cause was complications from diabetes, said her friend, the publicist Gary Springer.

“My dear, sweet, wonderful life, partner, and friend left us last night,” Gilroy said in a statement. “Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away beautiful Shelley.”

Duvall was attending junior college in Texas when Altman’s crew members, preparing to film “Brewster McCloud,” encountered her at a Houston party in 1970. They introduced the 20-year-old to the director, who cast her in “Brewster McCloud” and made her his protege.

Duvall would go on to appear in Altman films including “Thieves Like Us,” “Nashville,” “Popeye,” “Three Women” and “McCabe & Mrs. Miller.”

Shelley played the protagonist Wendy Torrance. She had to protect Danny and herself from her drunken possessed husband Jack. 

He offers me damn good roles,” Duvall told The New York Times in 1977. “None of them have been alike. He has a great confidence in me, and a trust and respect for me, and he doesn’t put any restrictions on me or intimidate me, and I love him. I remember the first advice he ever gave me: ‘Don’t take yourself seriously.’”

Duvall, gaunt and gawky, was no conventional Hollywood starlet. But she had a beguilingly frank manner and exuded a singular naturalism. The film critic Pauline Kael called her the “female Buster Keaton.”

At her peak, Duvall was a regular star in some of the defining movies of the 1970s. In “The Shining” (1980), she played Wendy Torrance, who watches in horror as her husband, Jack (Jack Nicholson), goes crazy while their family is isolated in the Overlook Hotel. It was Duvall’s screaming face that made up half of the film’s most iconic image, along with Jack’s axe coming through the door.

Kubrick, a famous perfectionist, was notoriously hard on Duvall in making “The Shining.” His methods of pushing her through countless takes in the most anguished scenes took a toll on the actor. One scene was reportedly performed in 127 takes. The entire shoot took 13 months. Duvall, in a 1981 interview with People magazine, said she was crying “12 hours a day for weeks on end” during the film’s production.

“I will never give that much again,” said Duvall. “If you want to get into pain and call it art, go ahead, but not with me.”

The scream queen.

Duvall disappeared from movies almost as quickly as she arrived in them. By the 1990s, she began retiring from acting and retreated from public life.

“How would you feel if people were really nice, and then, suddenly, on a dime, they turn on you?” Duvall told the Times earlier this year. “You would never believe it unless it happens to you. That’s why you get hurt, because you can’t really believe it’s true.”

Duvall, the oldest of four, was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 7, 1949. Her father, Robert, was a cattle auctioneer before working in law and her mother, Bobbie, was a real estate agent.

Duvall married the artist Bernard Sampson in 1970. They divorced four years later.

Duvall was in a long-term relationship with the musician Paul Simon in the late ’70s after meeting during the making of Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall.” (Duvall played the rock critic who keeps declaring things “transplendent.”) She also dated Ringo Starr. During the making of the 1990 Disney Channel movie “Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Duvall met the musician Dan Gilroy, of the group Breakfast Club, with whom she remained until her death.

Shelley Duvall plays Olive Oyl and Robin Williams played Popeye.

Duvall’s run in the 1970s was remarkably versatile. In the rugged Western “ McCabe & Mrs. Miller” (1971), she played the mail-order bride Ida. She was a groupie in “Nashville” (1975) and Olive Oyl, opposite Robin Williams, in “Popeye” (1980). In “3 Women,” co-starring Sissy Spacek and Janice Rule, Duvall played Millie Lammoreaux, a Palm Springs health spa worker, and won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival.

In the 1980s, Duvall produced and hosted a number of children’s TV series, among them “Faerie Tale Theatre,” “Tall Tales & Legends” and “Shelley Duvall’s Bedtime Stories.”

Duvall moved back to Texas in the mid-1990s. Around 2002, after making the comedy “Manna from Heaven,” she retreated from Hollywood completely. Her whereabouts became a favorite topic of internet sleuths. A favorite but incorrect theory was that it was residual trauma from the grueling shoot for “The Shining.” Another was that the damage to her home after the 1994 Northridge earthquake was the last straw.

I've lived a good life.

To those living in Texas Hill Country, where Duvall lived for some 30 years, she was neither in “hiding” nor a recluse. But her circumstances were a mystery to both the media and many of her old Hollywood friends. That changed in 2016, when producers for the “Dr. Phil” show tracked her down and aired a controversial hourlong interview with her in which she spoke about her mental health issues. “I’m very sick. I need help,” Duvall said on the program, which was widely criticized for being exploitative.

I found out the kind of person he is the hard way,” Duvall told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021.

THR journalist Seth Abramovitch wrote at the time that he went on a pilgrimage to find her because “it didn’t feel right for McGraw’s insensitive sideshow to be the final word on her legacy.”

Duvall attempted to restart her career, dipping her toe in with the indie horror “The Forest Hills” that filmed in 2022 and premiered quietly in early 2023.

“Acting again — it’s so much fun,” Duvall told People at the time. “It enriches your life.”

Karim A.A. Khan Didn't Trust The Flight!

Israel is plotting an assassination of a world court prosecutor.

The U.S. and Great Britian were asking International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan to travel to Israel and the Gaza Strip to get a hands on look as it was conducting an investigation into actions being committed by both parties.

Khan was about to travel to the Middle East but ended up cancelling it.

The prosecutor decided to fast track the warrants against Israeli and Hamas officials.

Something tells me that Khan had a credible threat on his life and given how many of these "accidents" involve flights, he made the right call. The Guardian had reported that Israeli spies had tried to blackmail ICC prosecutors and some have threaten the lives of their families.

Israel is notorious for carrying out assassination attacks which are illegal.

Khan is being threatened with sanctions by the U.S. government. They said if the prosecutors carry out arrest of Israeli regime official, they will ban Khan and his family.

They will end remaining UNRWA aid and end aid to Palestinians.

The U.S. shows no credibility as they are outraged over Russia conducting strikes on hospitals, schools, shopping centers and refugee camps. But as Israel is conducting strikes on the same, the U.S. is either silent or defending the actions.

The Guardian reported that the Israelis threatened the previous prosecutor and convinced the U.S. to ban her from entry into the country.

The former head of the Mossad, Israel’s incompemptant foreign intelligence agency, allegedly threatened a chief prosecutor of the ICC in a series of secret meetings in which he tried to pressure her into abandoning a war crimes investigation, the Guardian can reveal.

Yossi Cohen’s covert contacts with the ICC’s then prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, took place in the years leading up to her decision to open a formal investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in occupied Palestinian territories.

That investigation, launched in 2021, culminated last week when Bensouda’s successor, Karim Khan, announced that he was seeking an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over the country’s conduct in its war in Gaza.

The prosecutor’s decision to apply to the ICC’s pre-trial chamber for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, alongside three Hamas leaders, is an outcome Israel’s military and political establishment has long feared.

You Don't Hear Black Lawmakers Calling For Biden To Step Aside!

When Black lawmakers call for Biden to drop out, then you know you got a problem.

When former president Barack Obama and Black U.S. lawmakers (besides the five Black Republicans) call for President Joe Biden to step aside, then you'll have a problem. The Black Caucus is standing by Biden.

Vice President Kamala Harris is sticking with Biden. Most Black lawmakers are sticking with Biden.

Of all the Democrats that are calling for Biden to step aside, its white lawmakers, white media agitators, Black critics like Van Jones and Charlamagne tha God and of course social media.

All white noise.

To be honest, if we have to replace Biden, it would be Harris. To replace him with someone who is not Harris robs the millions of Democratic voters who backed Biden when he ran against Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson.

The Democratic National Convention will certainly have controversies. There will be protests because of Biden's support of Israel and there are calls for delegates to revolt.

This is all expected but not likely a big issue where it may down turnout.

Republicans are standing by former president Donald J. Trump.

Seriously, they are sticking with a man who is senile, an habitual liar, an adulterer, a sexual predator an instigator of political extremism, a fraudster, a convict felon and a terrible father.

Melania Trump is not on the campaign trail with Trump. She rather be in Florida enjoying retirement. Trump is doing it for political revenge.

Biden warned Democrats who call for him to step aside that he will not back their bids nor push the coffers of donations to the defend them from off primary challenges.

House Democrats had a meeting where the phones were put away, electronics were turned off and the room was swept for listening equipment. The conversation took place Sunday afternoon during a call convened by House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York. During the call, which lasted over an hour, Biden’s future as the leader of the party was heavily called into question, according to the sources.

Each lawmaker was given a chance to speak in order of seniority. Even those who did not explicitly call on Biden to bow out expressed concerns that he is not the strongest candidate to beat former President Donald Trump in November, additional sources said.

There was an overwhelming sense among lawmakers that Vice President Kamala Harris would be a better nominee than Biden and that she would be the obvious choice to replace Biden should he exit the race, the additional sources said.

Jeffries’ office declined to comment on the call.

Polling has indicated that concerns over Biden’s age, 81, have long been a top issue for voters, but his widely panned debate performance on June 27 prompted conversations among lawmakers and donors about whether he was the best candidate to face Trump, 78, in the fall. Democrats in Congress have expressed their concerns both publicly and privately.

Some House Democrats in battleground districts are weighing whether to distance themselves from Biden.

Manipulating Ex-Con Gets The Hollywood Treatment!

Who says murder doesn't pay?

Winners and losers of 2024.

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard spent eight of ten years in the iron college for murdering her mother.

Rather she manipulated a man to do it for her. Now this man spends his life in the iron college while Blanchard is enjoying freedom and getting bank off her murder conviction and the story of being a victim of an abusive mother.

By the way, she is separated from her pedophile milquetoast husband and is dating a man who looks like a convicted felon/sexual predator. He look like he's going to manipulating her. Well she is manipulating as well so it comes as no surprise that shortly after her release, she would take advantage of her husband by cheating on him. She is making millions off her grift and shows little remorse for the actions that led her to the iron college.

Now she is on social media and telling stories about how she wants to start a family and put an end to the drama of her past. Of course, write a book, do cosmetic tips, share vacation photos and get interviews in the junk food media.

All the signs in my honest opinion of a unrepentant murderer.

Oh, she is pregnant as well.

White privilege is real. 

Pregnant by new boyfriend. I guess she once called this creep an ex-fiance.

She is treated like Mary Kay Fualaau (nee Letourneau). The junk food media followed this woman like a rock star at one time. Falaau married with four children, had an affair with a 12 year old and got pregnant by him. She went to the iron college for seven years and gave birth to her second child. Once she got out she married him. He ended up struggling to stay afloat while she was cashing in on her infamy. She and her victim divorced. She died in 2020 of cancer.

Yeah, OJ Simpson was vilified after he was found not guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. He was trying to build his life back. The junk food media and the victim's families did not want that. Simpson, a once charised Golden Boy was labeled a murderer. It followed him to his grave. He died in April 2024 of cancer.

Blanchard should get the OJ Simpson treatment. Or at least fade like Charlie Sheen.

Sheen lost his mind in 2011 after he found out he had HIV. 

Blanchard with estranged husband and her bodyguard.

He ended up losing his television and movie gigs when he revealed in 2015 he was diagnosed with it. The lawsuits from women who said that he had reckless behavior also led to a blacklisting. 

Blanchard should be blacklisted. Not celebrated.

She needs to carry on with her life without the junk food media thrusting her reckless decisions as successes.

I mean if this was a Black woman, you wouldn't expect the celebrity?

Botham Jean's Killer Is Up For Parole!

Amber Guyger could be out if Greg Abbott's racist ass grants her parole.

Amber Guyger, the former Dallas Police officer who murdered Botham Jean was sent to the iron college for 10 years. The involuntary manslaughter conviction was not what the Jean family wanted. Her mandatory five years is required. Now as she is approaching the five year tragedy of his passing, Botham Jean will still never get the justice he deserves.

Guyger, who had a five year stint with Dallas Police was on the phone and not paying attention when she jarred a door belonging to Jean. She entered the home and immediately shot Jean eating ice cream in his underwear. 

Guyger did not render aid. At the time of emergency crews, a witness saw Guyger was sobbing and concocting a story to why the hell she shot a man in his own home. The investigators had come to the conclusion that Guyger was reckless despite her excuse of working a 13.5 hour shift.

Guyger's disregard of the safety of a civilian even if she thought he was a suspect, the Texas Rangers saw that she exercised poor choices and it required an arrest. She was terminated and arrested soon after.

The incident made national headlines. She was convicted and sentenced. Jean's distraught brother and the Dallas judge even embraced her and hugged her.

The sentence was light. It would become a boiling pot for more police shootings and killings. The George Floyd murder became the catalyst of rally cries to do something about police violence. 

Botham Jean was an innocent man. The junk food media tried to make him a villain.

Guyger and many other former police officers got trained through an Israeli-American law enforcement pact. Israel is the primary source of training for American law enforcement. That also came into question.

However, they will have an opportunity to decide whether Guyger deserves parole.

She is in the fifth year of her term. This makes her eligible for parole. In September, Guyger and her attorneys will make a plea for parole seeing that she has not committed any violations while in Gatesville Womens Lockup.

She will put on the sob story about how she missed out her family issues, wanting to start a new life and claims of writing to her pastor or the victim's family pleading for forgiveness. 

I am just using hypothetical words but this is what I expect of her.

September 2024 will be the deciding time for Guyger.

I hope they deny it.

The Supreme Court rejected her appeals after she tried to get the conviction overturned in state courts.

Jay Johnston Is A Washed Up Actor Turned Felon!

Former actor faces a five year bid if the feds throw the book at him

Winners and losers of 2024.

The former Bob's Burgers actor and comedian plead guilty for his part in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He will get a sentence and some federal time out.

Jay Johnston, 55, who played protagonist Jimmy Pesto in Bob's Burgers faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison after pleading guilty to civil disorder, a felony. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols is scheduled to sentence Johnston on Oct. 7.

The estimated sentencing guidelines for Johnston recommend a prison term ranging from eight to 14 months, but the judge isn’t bound by that term of his plea agreement with prosecutors.

Johnston’s attorney, Stanley Woodward, told his client not to comment to reporters as they left the courtroom.

Johnston, who was arrested last June, is one of more than 1,400 people charged with federal crimes stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Your honor, I was just visiting.

Video footage captured Johnston pushing against police and helping rioters who attacked officers guarding an entrance to the Capitol in a tunnel on the Lower West Terrace, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. Johnston held a stolen police shield over his head and passed it to other rioters during the attack on Jan. 6, 2021, the affidavit says.

Johnston “was close to the entrance to the tunnel, turned back and signaled for other rioters to come towards the entrance,” the agent wrote.

Johnston appeared on “Mr. Show with Bob and David,” an HBO sketch comedy series that starred Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. His credits also include small parts on the television show “Arrested Development” and in the movie “Anchorman,” starring Will Ferrell.

A court filing accompanying Johnston’s plea agreement says he used his cellphone to record rioters as they broke through barricades and sent police officers retreating. Facing the crowd on the Lower West Terrace, Johnston pounded his fist together and pointed. Another rioter handed him a bottle of water, which he used to help others flush out chemicals from their eyes.

After passing the stolen shield, Johnson joined other rioters in collectively pushing against police officers guarding the tunnel entrance. He left the tunnel minutes later, according to the agreement signed by Johnston.

Three current or former associates of Johnston identified him as a riot suspect from photos that the FBI published online, according to the agent. The FBI said one of those associates provided investigators with a text message in which Johnston acknowledged being at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

A career thrown away because of Trump.

“The news has presented it as an attack. It actually wasn’t. Thought it kind of turned into that. It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic,” Johnston wrote, according to the FBI.

Also on Monday, a Texas woman pleaded guilty to assaulting a Metropolitan Police Department officer during the Jan. 6 riot. Video captured Dana Jean Bell cursing at officers inside the Capitol and grabbing an officer’s baton, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit.

Bell, 65, of Princeton, Texas, also was captured on video assaulting a local television journalist outside the Capitol that day. The FBI affidavit says Bell appeared to reach out and try to push or grab the journalist, who worked for the Fox affiliate in Washington, D.C.

Bell faces a maximum sentence of eight years in prison. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly is scheduled to sentence her on Oct. 17. Her estimated sentencing guidelines recommend a term of imprisonment ranging from two years to two years and six months.

Bell and her attorney, Joe Shearin, declined to comment as they left the courtroom.

Amber Rose To Speak At GOP Convention!

Not a cult, right?

Amber Levonchuck, known professionally as Amber Rose, will speak at the Republican National Convention in the coming week. The media personality famously for the Slut Walks endorsed former president Donald J. Trump shocking women's rights groups.

The media personality announced she will speak at the convention in Milwaukee.

Amber Rose has ties to Ye [Kanye West], Machine Gun Kelly, 21 Savage, Alexander Edwards and Wiz Khalifa. 

Amber has two children. Wiz has a son named Sebastian and Edwards has a son namer Slash.

The media personality was once a harsh critic of Trump. She said that she had a "wake up call" and totally denounced her past support for issues that align with progressives.

“It’s True! I’m speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee,” the “How to Be a Bad Bitch” author, who was born Amber Rose Levonchuck, wrote to her 3.5 million followers on the social platform X on Monday.

Forgiato Blow filmed a video in Florida featuring Trump supporting allies Vanilla Ice and Amber Rose. The Proud Boy rapper is the "Mayor of MAGAville". He is under federal watch for his participation in Jan. 6.

A representative for the convention, which kicks off next Monday in Wisconsin, and one for Rose didn’t reply to ITK’s request for comment. 

Earlier Monday, former President Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) released its convention program, saying while it would “highlight Republican leaders, supporters, industry leaders, and pop culture icons,” the “real stars of the convention are everyday Americans.”

The 40-year-old performer — who founded her eponymous “SlutWalk,” which aims to “combat women’s equality issues” — has been a vocal Trump supporter in recent months. 

In a June video, Rose sported a red hat emblazoned with the pro-Trump “Make America Great Again” slogan, “MAGA,” along with a gold necklace featuring an oversized pendant of the ex-president’s head. 

“I’m engaged to the game … MAGA baby,” she said, as she flashed a “MAGA” ring to the camera. 

More Bloodshed: Mass Shooting In Detroit!

A block party on Sunday turns fatal.

The last mass shooting happened in the Cincinnati, Ohio suburb of Florence, Kentucky.

Mass shootings so far:

• Milwaukee, Wisconsin
• Akron, Ohio 
• Florence, Kentucky 
• Poughkeepsie, New York 
• Albany, New York (2)
• Pontiac, Michigan
• Tampa, Florida
• Chicago, Illinois (3)
• Nashville, Tennessee 
• St. Louis, Missouri (2)
• Ocean Springs, Mississippi
• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2)
• Taneytown, Maryland 
• Fort Worth, Texas (2)
• Indianapolis, Indiana 
• Charleston, Missouri
• Cincinnati, Ohio
• Sylvania, Georgia
• Sharpsburg, Georgia
• Niagara Falls, New York 
• Crete, Nebraska 

Now the latest mass shooting at a block party/pool patry was in Detroit. By the way, we are still talking about the presidential debate and replacing the Democratic Party presumptive nominee. Instead of focusing on gun violence, Israel, the Supreme Court and the upcoming NATO summit.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and the U.S. Representatives of Michigan were notified about this.

Now expect the far right to use this as a wedge issue. Since Detroit has a 70% Black population, the outlets like The Daily Mail, The New York Post and Fox will not give glowing profiles of the victims or the shooter. 

The Daily Mail labeled the Florence, Kentucky mass shooter, a "baby face shooter." 

That gives the impression that the shooter was a victim as well.

Anyway, Detroit Metro Police confirm that two people were killed and 19 injured in this deadly shooting. Mayor Mike Duggin and Chief James White are angry about this. They call upon lawmakers to do something about gun violence.

Police said a Monday news conference with White and Duggan would detail a “comprehensive new strategy regarding block parties.”

Detroit Police deal with a deadly mass shooting.

Michigan State Police said no one was in custody and they were assisting Detroit police with the investigation, according to a post on the social media platform X. The agency said their preliminary information showed two people died and 19 others had “various injuries.”

Detroit police released few details, confirming the shooting on a residential block on Detroit’s east side left two people dead. But a police statement Sunday afternoon did not specify the number of people injured or the circumstances of the shooting.

“At this time, investigators and forensic personnel are analyzing all available evidence and will be continuing their work through the weekend,” police said in a Sunday statement.

Detroit Police Cpl. Dan Donakowski, a department spokesman, declined further comment. Duggan’s spokesman John Roach said the mayor would be at Monday’s news conference about “block club party safety strategy” but declined to comment on the shooting.

The shooting comes amid a violent holiday weekend nationwide. Violence and mass shootings often surge in the summer months, especially around the Fourth of July. Researchers say the reason is a combination of factors, including more social events and more alcohol consumption.

State Rep. Mai Xiong, who represents the district where the shooting took place, said she was “heartbroken.”

“During what should have been a joyous celebration during Independence Day weekend, we are instead faced with a devastating reminder that gun violence is hitting too close to home, right in our own backyards,” she said in a statement.

Michigan is an open carry state.

The U.S. Congress is by far the most laziest in modern history. They are willing to take away freedoms when it comes to using phones, protesting, driving, women's rights, voting rights and social media. When it comes to an actual threat to safety, say firearms, they refuse to pass even meaningful legislation to curb it.

Far right lawmakers like Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will hop on social media talking about it but not doing a damn thing to stop it.

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.

Detroit Metro Police chief James White and city mayor Mike Duggin are calling for an end to gun violence and illegal block parties.

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.

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. 

The Daily Mail is a far right trash tabloid. They gave a white mass shooter a glowing profile. The Detroit mass shooting will be certainly labeling the shooters as thugs and somehow Biden's fault.

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.

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 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.

Khyree Jackson Passed Away!

Khyree Jackson was tragically killed in a car crash.

The 4th of July weekend is the most dangerous time for motorists.

Khyree Jackson was selected to play for the Minnesota Vikings. His dream were to play for the NFL and build a career for himself and his family.

While in his hometown of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Jackson and two of his high school friends were killed in a traffic accident. The incident is under investigation and the Maryland State Police will determine whether speed, alcohol or not wearing a seatbelts play a role in their deaths.

Jackson, along with two of his former high school teammates, was killed in a car crash in Prince George's County, Maryland in the early morning hours of July 6, 2024 when another driver attempted to change lanes at a high speed and struck the vehicle in which Jackson was a passenger.

The other two occupants — Isaiah Hazel, 23, and Anthony Lytton, Jr., 24 — also died.

Hazel, who played college football at Maryland and Charlotte, was driving. Lytton, who played for Florida State and Penn State, was riding in the back seat.

Per the release, the preliminary investigation shows that the driver of another car “attempted to change lanes while driving at a high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck [a] Chevrolet Impala.”

The impact forced the Charger off the road, where it “struck multiple tree stumps.

Someone sold the Fox outlet TMZ the graphic photos of the vehicle being destroyed.

It's pathetic that the tabloid is trying to exploit tragedy for profit.

Three men lose their lives to a drunk driver.

Born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Jackson attended Wise High School. In Jackson's senior season, he made 39 catches for 612 yards and 12 touchdowns. After graduating in 2017, Jackson attended Arizona Western College to play college football but returned to Maryland after becoming homesick. He later worked at a local Harris Teeter grocery store, where he earned employee of the month honors. Before his return to football, Jackson contemplated pursuing a professional career as a NBA 2K League player. After two years outside of football, Jackson decided to attend Fort Scott Community College in 2019.

All three victims were occupants of a maroon Dodge Charger involved in the crash. Hazel was the driver.  Jackson was the front seat passenger and Lytton was seated in the rear of the vehicle.

Shortly after 3:14 a.m. this morning, troopers from the Forestville Barrack responded to a crash on northbound Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue and Presidential Parkway north of Dower House Road in Upper Marlboro. The three vehicles involved in the crash were a silver Infinity Q50, a silver Chevrolet Impala and a maroon Dodge Charger.

The preliminary investigation indicates the driver of the silver Infiniti, later identified as Cori Clingman, 23, of Upper Marlboro, was traveling northbound on Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue in Prince George’s County.  Investigators believe Clingman attempted to change lanes while driving at a high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck the Chevrolet Impala. The Charger subsequently traveled off of the right side of the roadway and struck multiple tree stumps where the vehicle came to rest.

Clingman had two other passengers in her Infinity at the time of the crash. No one was injured in her vehicle.

The Chevrolet Impala was occupied solely by the driver. He was also uninjured in the crash and refused medical treatment at the scene.

Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration personnel assisted with road closures. The northbound lanes of Route 4/Pennsylvania Road were reopened at 10:20 a.m. today.

Investigators believe alcohol may have been a contributing circumstance in the crash.

Charges are pending the investigation and consultation with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office. The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the investigation.

North Carolina GOP Guv Candidate Believes It's God's Will To Kill Dems!

Foghorn Leghorn.

Black Republican and far right extremist Mark Robinson is the current lieutenant governor of North Carolina. He serves as a loyal obstructionist to Democratic governor Roy Cooper.

Robinson is the nominee for the Republican as he makes a bid for governor. He is facing against Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, the Democratic nominee for governor.

Robinson is down by three points and it is a hotly contested race. With President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump on the ballot as well, the state is very important for both parties.

Robinson is a pastor similar to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). 

As a Baptist, Robinson speaks the language of chaos if you don't repent sins.

Robinson made national news for his controversial comments in a church speech again this week.

Robinson gave a speech about freedom on June 30 at Lake Church in Bladen County, where the pastor is also a county commissioner. Robinson was talking in the context of World War II at first, but then references police, too, and not just war when he talks about fighting “wicked people.”

In speech about freedom ‘slipping away,’ Mark Robinson talks about ‘wicked people,’ killing

I watched the church’s two-hour long livestream of the service that includes Robinson’s full speech and a sitdown conversation with the pastor who said the devil is behind President Joe Biden. My story also includes reaction from Robinson’s campaign, Stein’s campaign and the White House.

In referring to progressives, Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats, Robinson said some people needed "killing."

“There’s a time when we used to meet evil on the battlefield,” Robinson says in the speech, which was delivered at The Lake Church in North Carolina. “And guess what we did to it? We killed it. We didn’t quibble about it. We didn’t argue about it. We didn’t fight about it. We killed it.”

Robinson then referred to the U.S. response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He also referred to the U.S. response to Nazis in World War II in which evil “was killed.”

Robinson then referenced liberals who would insist his comments sounded insensitive, to which he replied, “Too bad.”

Trump called Mark Robinson "Martin Luther King on steroids."

“Get mad at me if you want to. Some folks need killing. It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity,” he said.

Robinson refers himself as a MAGA Republican. Robinson and his wife are not apologetic about their past and present problems. Robinson paid for his wife abortion when they were young.

One of 10 children, Robinson became radicalized by far right propaganda from Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan. He called for the assassination of Barack Obama. He said that Vice President Kamala Harris is not Black. He called Martin Luther Luther, Jr. a disgraced adulterer and a phony. He also pushed for Black separatism.

Yet he has a clear shot to win.
