| Houston rapper, deejay and producer BeatKing passed away. He is pictured with Drake. |
The entertainer was also a father to two daughters.
No further details have been given about how he died or where, but manager Tasha Felder said BeatKing died on Thursday.
"Today, August 15, 2024 we have lost @Clubgodzilla. BeatKing has been the best part of the club for over a decade. He has produced and worked with so many artists, that his sound will forever live," Felder wrote. "He loved his daughters @clubgodparenting, his music and his fans. We will love him forever."
BeatKing's 2020 song "Then Leave" was a viral hit on TikTok and Houston airwaves.
But as the Houston Chronicle's music critic Joey Guerra points out, he rose to fame in 2010 with his album "Kings of the Club."
His latest album "Never Leave Houston On A Sunday" was just released last month.
According to BeatKing's Facebook page, he went to Booker T. Washington High School.
BeatKing is being remembered by fans and prominent members of the music world, including Three 6 Mafia and Houston rapper and entrepreneur, Bun B, who is among the artists that have worked with him.
He had a heart attack.

| Lauren Boebert is an embarrassment to Colorado. |
The 3rd and 4th Congressional District made a huge mistake in electing Lauren Opal Boebert. The 38 year old mother of four and grandmother of one is very insufferable.
Even after she won her primary, Boebert once again leaves the district to do what her voters complained about. They were saying she is too polarizing and not focus on the needs of her current 3rd District and possible 4th District. It too much noise and no substance.
She is spending your hard earned taxpayer money on vacations to Florida, cigarettes, tattoos, speaking engagements and Trump rallies.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX), Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) are the most insufferable lawmakers in history.
There are more and several Democratic lawmakers on the list of insufferable but I just don't have the time to name them all.
Ginger Gaetz, the wife of Matt Gaetz posed a picture of Boebert in a bikini flaunting her new tattoo on the stomach to waist. Also Anna Paulina Luna was sporting off a MAGA bikini.
In the photo of Boebert posted Thursday, the congresswoman had her ink on full display as she smiled on the sand in Palm Beach. Between her black bikini top and leopard-print bottoms, a smattering of wavy black lines could be seen stretched across the entire right side of her torso.

Users quickly began sounding off in the comments with mixed reactions to her newly exposed tattoo. One person called it "trashy" and another said it was "atrocious", while a third wrote: "LOVE her tattoo!! MAGA BEAUTIES!!"
Boebert commented: "We all love Anna Paulina Luna!"

Luna also took to social media to clap back at critics blasting her for posing in a one-piece bathing suit touting Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan.
As the 2016 clip went viral, the politician told off her critics, writing on X Wednesday: "There are better (things) to do with your time than digging up modeling photos of me from almost a decade ago. The left is attempting to make this a thing yet can’t define a woman. Very low IQ behavior. Get over it."
She wrote in another post: "I'm confirming that I have indeed worn swimsuits and you can tell I am biologically a woman."
Yet another social media update read: "I have a confession to make since the TikTok Democrats are onto me – I wear bikinis to the beach and mineral sunscreen."
Boebert, who filed for divorce from her husband Jayson last year, has been the subject of her own series of controversies.

Tyler – who had his own child at 17 years old – has also made headlines for his arrest earlier this year on 22 charges. He was accused of breaking into vehicles to steal wallets and make unauthorized purchases.
Boebert also faced the fallout from being caught vaping and engaging in inappropriate behavior with a new partner during a Denver performance of Beetlejuice in September of last year.
Anyway, the 118th Congress is the least productive in modern history. It is worse than the Republicans holding the House and Senate during former president Barack Obama's second term.
President Joe Biden could easily have beaten former president Donald J. Trump. But due to the noise, he had to step down and pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Now tasked with trying to unite the Democrats, Harris and her running mate Minnesota governor Tim Walz must defeat not only Trump but the ney sayers. The protests against her are growing. The Democrats are definitely split over Israel. The ethnostate is committing a genocide and Harris is caught between a rock in a hard place.
Biden is still committed to aiding Israel despite it nudging us closer to global war.
Harris must figure out how to unite the party and bring back the voters who vow to never support Biden (which means her and Walz).
The issues with Republicans should be crystal clear. Trump should drop out as well.
He is clearly losing his memory and physical appappearance is not looking good.

| Monkeypox is deadly. |
It is already here.
The World Health Organization has confirm that the spread is great and folks need to prepare for the potential airborne spread.
Here comes the Republicans and the far right dismissing it. I bet Former president Donald J. Trump already fomating about how Harris and Tim Walz are stealing the election and making up another pandemic.
I can see Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Nicole Shanahan complain about how the Democrats are scaring up votes with this potential outbreak.
The WHO declared the mpox outbreaks in Congo and elsewhere in Africa a global emergency on Wednesday, with cases confirmed among children and adults in more than a dozen countries and a new form of the virus spreading. Few vaccine doses are available on the continent.
Earlier this week, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the mpox outbreaks were a public health emergency, with more than 500 deaths, and called for international help to stop the virus’ spread.
“This is something that should concern us all ... The potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The Africa CDC previously said mpox, also known as monkeypox, has been detected in 13 countries this year, and more than 96% of all cases and deaths are in Congo. Cases are up 160% and deaths are up 19% compared with the same period last year. So far, there have been more than 14,000 cases and 524 people have died.
“We are now in a situation where (mpox) poses a risk to many more neighbors in and around central Africa,” said Salim Abdool Karim, a South African infectious diseases expert who chairs the Africa CDC emergency group. He said the new version of mpox spreading from Congo appears to have a death rate of about 3-4%.
In 2022, WHO declared mpox to be a global emergency after it spread to more than 70 countries that had not previously reported mpox, mostly affecting gay and bisexual men. In that outbreak, fewer than 1% of people died.
Michael Marks, a professor of medicine at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said declaring these latest mpox outbreaks in Africa an emergency is warranted if that might lead to more support to contain them.
“It’s a failure of the global community that things had to get this bad to release the resources needed,” he said.
Officials at the Africa CDC said nearly 70% of cases in Congo are in children younger than 15, who also accounted for 85% of deaths.
Jacques Alonda, an epidemiologist working in Congo with international charities, said he and other experts were particularly worried about the spread of mpox in camps for refugees in the country’s conflict-ridden east.
“The worst case I’ve seen is that of a six-week-old baby who was just two weeks old when he contracted mpox,” Alonda said, adding the baby has been in their care for a month. “He got infected because hospital overcrowding meant he and his mother were forced to share a room with someone else who had the virus, which was undiagnosed.”

| The virus was controlled. Now a spread in the Republic of the Congo is happening. |
The U.N. health agency said mpox was recently identified for the first time in four East African countries: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. All of those outbreaks are linked to the one in Congo. In Ivory Coast and South Africa, health authorities have reported outbreaks of a different and less dangerous version of mpox that spread worldwide in 2022.
Earlier this year, scientists reported the emergence of a new form of the deadlier form of mpox, which can kill up to 10% of people, in a Congolese mining town that they feared might spread more easily. Mpox mostly spreads via close contact with infected people, including through sex.
Unlike in previous mpox outbreaks, where lesions were mostly seen on the chest, hands and feet, the new form causes milder symptoms and lesions on the genitals. That makes it harder to spot, meaning people might also sicken others without knowing they’re infected.
Before the 2022 outbreak, the disease had mostly been seen in sporadic outbreaks in central and West Africa when people came into close contact with infected wild animals.
Western countries during the 2022 outbreak mostly shut down the spread of mpox with the help of vaccines and treatments, but very few of those have been available in Africa.
Marks of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said that in the absence of mpox vaccines licensed in the West, officials could consider inoculating people against smallpox, a related disease. “We need a large supply of vaccine so that we can vaccinate populations most at risk,” he said, adding that would mean sex workers, children and adults living in outbreak regions.
Congo hasn’t received any of the mpox vaccines it has requested.
Congolese authorities said they have asked for 4 million doses, Cris Kacita Osako, coordinator of Congo’s Monkeypox Response Committee, told The Associated Press. Kacita Osako said those would mostly be used for children under 18.
“The United States and Japan are the two countries that positioned themselves to give vaccines to our country,” Kacita Osako said.
Dr. Dimie Ogoina, a Nigerian mpox expert who chaired WHO’s emergency committee, said there were still significant gaps in understanding how mpox is spreading in Africa. He called for stronger surveillance to track the outbreaks.
“We’re working blindly when we’re not able to test all suspected cases,” Ogoina said.
Although WHO’s emergency declaration is meant to spur donor agencies and countries into action, the global response to previous declarations has been mixed.
Dr. Boghuma Titanji, an infectious diseases expert at Emory University, said the last WHO emergency declaration for mpox “did very little to move the needle” on getting things like diagnostic tests, medicines and vaccines to Africa.
“The world has a real opportunity here to act in a decisive manner and not repeat past mistakes, (but) that will take more than an (emergency) declaration,” Titanji said.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz, you two got my support (for now).
AIPAC backed Don Samuels lost his second attempt to oust progressive lawmaker Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Omar will join Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in the 119th Congress if they win their general.
Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) lost their primaries to challengers who were staunchly supportive of Israel. Goode also took even more of a hit because of his support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Former president Donald J. Trump, Kevin McCarthy and AIPAC backed John McGuire. Bowman and Bush were defeated by two AIPAC backed candidates George Latimer and Wesley Bell.

Both faced well-funded challengers and millions of dollars in spending by the United Democracy Project, a super political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which appeared to sit out the Minnesota race.
Omar, a vocal critic of Israel is the first African American woman and one of three Muslim Americans to serve in Congress. Tlaib and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are Muslim.
Omar is often vilified with the rhetoric of colonialism. She and Tlaib being outspoken have often led to members of their own party as well as Republicans to criticize them.
They claim they support terrorists and are anti-American.
It's because they aren't following the status quo of bowing to a foreign apartheid ethnostate like Israel.
Samuels had criticized Omar’s condemnation of the Israeli government’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war. While Omar has also criticized Hamas for attacking Israel and taking hostages, Samuels said she’s one-sided and divisive. He also stressed public safety issues in Minneapolis, where a former police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020.
Samuels said he was “very disappointed” with his loss.
“What I was hoping is that a strong ground game and an attention to the details of folks who felt left out would trump an overwhelming superiority in dollars,” he said in an interview. “Clearly money matters a little more in politics than I had hoped.”
Omar will face Republican Dalia Al-Aqidi, an Iraqi American journalist and self-described secular Muslim who calls Omar pro-Hamas.
Meanwhile, conservative populist and former NBA player Royce White defeated Navy veteran Joe Fraser in Minnesota’s primary election for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar in November.

His opponent, defense attorney Tayler Rahm, won the endorsement at the district convention with support from grassroots conservatives.
While Rahm announced in July that he was suspending his campaign and would instead serve as a senior adviser for Trump’s Minnesota campaign, he remained on the ballot.
Teirab will face Craig in what’s expected to be Minnesota’s most competitive House race in November.
Craig issued a statement following Teirab’s win calling him “a guy who recently moved to the district because he saw a political opportunity.”
“He’s a guy who has spent months doing anything to win the support of Washington Republicans,” Craig said. “And he’s a guy who has made it his life’s mission to take away reproductive freedoms from families and give those decisions to politicians.”
In the U.S. Senate race, White — an ally of imprisoned former Trump aide Steve Bannon and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones — shocked many political observers when he defeated Fraser at the party convention for the GOP endorsement.

| Ilhan had the city of Minneapolis backing her. |
Following his win, White said in a post on the social platform X: “Bring it on commies… The People Are Coming.”
Fraser has said White’s confrontational style and message won’t attract the moderates and independents needed for a competitive challenge against Klobuchar, who’s seeking a fourth term. He said he offers a more mainstream approach, stressing fiscal conservativism, a strong defense, world leadership and small government. Fraser has also highlighted his 26 years in the Navy, where he was an intelligence officer and served a combat tour in Iraq.
Neither had anywhere near the resources that Klobuchar has. White last reported raising $133,000, while Fraser took in $68,000. Klobuchar, meanwhile, has collected about $19 million this cycle and has more than $6 million available to spend on the general election campaign. She faced only nominal primary opposition.
Another clash between establishment and grassroots Republicans played out in western Minnesota’s 7th District. Trump-backed GOP Rep. Michelle Fischbach, considered one of the most conservative members of Congress, defeated small businessman Steve Boyd. Boyd ran to her right on a religious platform and blocked her from getting endorsement at the district convention. Boyd reported spending $170,000, while Fischbach spent over $1 million.

| Trump just keeps failing. |
When Hillary Clinton was the 2016 Democratic nominee, Trump and Republicans obsessed over her emails, Benghazi, Seth Rich, Pizzagate, Jeffrey Epstein, former president Bill Clinton's affairs, her coughing, her laughing and her voice and her health.
Clinton lost to Trump and it was an earthquake.
How the hell did she lose?
Russia.
Wikileaks obtained information from a Russian account called Gucifer 2.O. The leaks were coming from Clinton, John Podesta, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Donna Brazile's emails. It gave the impression that the Democratic National Committee intentionally denied Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his campaign for Clinton.
They amped up leftists to abandon her for Sanders and later Jill Stein in crucial swing states Pennsylvania and Michigan. Clinton avoided Wisconsin and Ohio.
Sean "Softball" Hannity, Dick Morris, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin constantly talk about her. They sat with Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Natalya Veselnitskaya and Roger Stone planning and plotting on how they can drive Clinton's favorability down.
Kevin McCarthy even admitted that.
Clinton to this day believe that Trump is still willing to ask for foreign help to win.
The junk food media did not release stolen information.
The Republican presumptive nominee boldly and confidently asked for a foreign country to interfere in the U.S. elections.
Mind you, it's not only Russia, but Israel and Iran meddling.
Donald Trump: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."https://t.co/XHc9hh4gBt

Trump, as a former president and 2024 Republican presidential nominee now wants the junk food media to not reveal the emails that were allegedly hacked by Iran.
Iran is warning President Joe Biden and Western leaders to not interfere in the pending retaliation. Israel had once again violated international law and invaded Iran. It committed a war crime by doing an airstrike on the Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Now Iran and Hamas are vowing to return the favor by going after Benjamin Netanyahu, Issac Herzog and Yoav Gallant. They are plotting cyber attacks and possible assassination attempts on the Israeli regime's leaders. They are also going to target Trump, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Roger Stone. The Iranian leaders also want to expose the Anti-Defamation League.

| Kamala Harris ain't calling for Iran to release Trump's emails. |
The FBI released a brief statement on the Trump matter reading, “We can confirm the FBI is investigating this matter.”
The Trump campaign provided no specific evidence of Iran’s involvement, but the claim came shortly after Microsoft issued a report detailing foreign agents’ attempts to interfere in the U.S. election in 2024. The report cited an instance of an Iranian military intelligence unit in June sending “a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign from a compromised email account of a former senior advisor.”
Two people familiar with the matter said the Biden-Harris campaign was also targeted in the suspected Iranian cyber intrusion that is under FBI investigation. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the details of the investigation.
Politico reported Saturday that it began receiving emails on July 22 from an anonymous account. The source — an AOL email account identified only as “Robert” — passed along what appeared to be a research dossier the campaign had apparently done on the Republican vice presidential nominee, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. The document was dated Feb. 23, almost five months before Trump selected Vance as his running mate.
“These documents were obtained illegally” and “intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said.

| Roger Stone is a doofus. |
The FBI began investigating that cyber incident in June and intelligence officials believe Iran was behind the attempts, that person said. Officials have also been in touch with tech companies in recent months about the possibility that people linked to the Trump and Biden-Harris campaigns were being targeted through email.
Harris’ campaign said in a statement, “Our campaign vigilantly monitors and protects against cyber threats, and we are not aware of any security breaches of our systems.” It declined to address whether it had identified any state-based intrusion attempts.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations, when asked about the claim of the Trump campaign, denied being involved.
However, Iran long has been suspected of running hacking campaigns targeting its enemies in the Middle East and beyond. Tehran also long has threatened to retaliate against Trump over the 2020 drone strike he ordered that killed prominent Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
In its report, Microsoft stated that “foreign malign influence concerning the 2024 US election started off slowly but has steadily picked up pace over the last six months due initially to Russian operations, but more recently from Iranian activity.”
The analysis continued: “Iranian cyber-enabled influence operations have been a consistent feature of at least the last three U.S. election cycles. Iran’s operations have been notable and distinguishable from Russian campaigns for appearing later in the election season and employing cyberattacks more geared toward election conduct than swaying voters.”
“Recent activity suggests the Iranian regime — along with the Kremlin — may be equally engaged in election 2024,” Microsoft concluded.
