Harris: Nacho Cheese Doritos My Favorite!

Nacho cheese Doritos are the best.

As Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz prepare for the Democratic National Convention, protesters are expected to flood Chicago with calls to end the aid to Israel.

Also gun violence, prostitution and property theft are expected. Mayor Brandon Johnson, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas vow to make the DNC a safe, fun and less controversial event.

Last month former president Donald J. Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) accepted their nomination and the ear magically healed after the assassination attempt. They held their convention in Milwaukee. While there, Trump spoke for over 1 hour and 34 minutes, Vance introduced his wife Usha, Hulk Hogan ripped his shirt, Amber Rose spoke and Melania did not kiss Trump on the lips. Also the Columbus, Ohio Police who were tasked to watch the event killed a homeless man. 

Trump is hosting a few rallies this week while the DNC is happening.

Looks like Harris, Walz, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz and the staff are gonna be Sheetz Freakz. 

President Joe Biden, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Rep. John Joyce (R-PA), Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) are Sheetz Freakz.

On Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing shitshow, he had on Fox contributor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The contributor was once a longtime fixture on The View as the far right opinionist.

Harris wrote that she ate a whole bag of nacho cheese Doritos after finding out Trump won the 2016 election.

Harris ate a family-sized bag of Doritos and “did not share one chip with anybody,” not even her husband.

Hasselbeck took issue with it.

“That’s the commander-in-chief potentially,” Hasselbeck said, referring to Harris. “That’s the emotional response of the leader of the free world? To binge eat a bag of Doritos? Are you kidding me? Can you imagine [Vladimir] Putin, how he deals with things, chugging down a bag of Sour Patch Kids because he’s depressed about something not going his way?”

Grabbed you a big bag.

Hasselbeck continued: “The relatability cloud that’s being dusted over Americans right now is only to hide the fact that there’s a lack of ability. Kamala Harris failed at the border. So what do we want to do? Give her the globe? Are you kidding me?”

Hasselbeck, who was often the only conservative woman on “The View” during her tenure, also criticized the show for not currently sharing a conservative point of view.

“What I think the viewer is missing there right now is the ability to hear another perspective,” Hasselbeck said, adding that the hosts aren’t “representing American women.”

“They’re not representing the voters in America. They’re not. I doubt there’s one person on that panel that would say they are voting for Donald Trump.”

Walz got wind of it and decided to make sure he keeps to his word about Republicans being weird. 

Inside a Moon Township, Pennsylvania location outside of Pittsburgh, Harris made a stop.

Shoppers and workers along with the junk food media got the opportunity to watch Harris troll the fuck out of Hasselbeck and Softball Hannity.

Walz handed her the family size while Doug Emhoff's held on to the regular size. 

Walz had declared that all the name calling, all the allegations, all the conspiracy theories, all the Trump propaganda and the rhetoric is just sad and practically weird.

Jack Posobiec, Donald Trump, Jr. and some far right agitators called them weird.

Mind you, Posobiec was involved in the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle have terrible plastic surgery and the English woman who tattooed Trump on her forehead.

Now you tell me, who is the weird ones?

U.S. Says Israel Must Investigate Themselves For War Crimes!

We are the most moral country in the world. All of you are antisemitics if you want Israel to be destroyed. We don't care what you say, we will finish the job.

Whenever Isrsel commits crimes against humanity, President Joe Biden and White House officials either want Israel to investigate themselves for criminal acts. 

When Israel commits acts of aggression on other countries, the U.S. wants the sovereignties not engage in retaliation. 

The U.S. uses the both sides at fault excuse and want restraint. In other words, the U.S. proudly defends Israel despite the possibility of a global war.

So do we actually want Israel to investigate itself when it comes to war crimes?

No.

How about we allow the UN special envoys enter Gaza and make a determination.

If UN workers investigate, Israel will target them. The regime already killed humanitarian aid workers, journalists, doctors, civil investigators, public officials and servants.

How about we start allowing the International Criminal Court arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, Issac Herzog and Yoav Gallant. Israel has threatened the ICC prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan with a target assassination through airplanes or vehicle travel. 

The U.S. lawmakers threatened sanctions on Khan.

Israel killed three day old twin newborns.

How about the United States stop sending our taxpayer money to them. Israel will claim that the alliance is beneficial and Americans should aid Israel in "defeating evil."

How about the world finally reign in on the evil apartheid ethnostate of Israel. In order to have a full fledge democracy, Israel must abandon Jewish supremacy. Israel must dissolve its current government and have citizens vote on a non secular government. The UN must campaign for a one state solution where it allows the right of return to the descendants of historical Palestine. Any illegal settlements in the West Bank must be taxed to pay for all reparations to the Palestinians who had their homes destroyed. Israel must pay for all the lives, property and chaos without any American influence or tax money.

How about we allow journalists to cover Gaza and make an independent decision without having Israeli regime officials overseeing the coverage or censoring it.

Israel still hasn't taken accountability for the World Central Kitchen attack or even the killing of UNRWA officials.

Israel claims to investigate these crimes but in reality, they do not. They practically endorse them and advocate for more carnage. 

The U.S. is controlled by the lobby. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Anti-Defamation League are two operatives that have spies and handlers committed to forcing our lawmakers, business leaders and media follow the narrative of Israel.

They keep on peddling this notion that the hostages must be returned. With the Israeli regime stopping resources, shooting everything in site and brutally torturing civilians, it is likely these "hostages" are dead.

Aser and Aysel did not even get a week of life. Israel took their lives along with their mother and grandmother. Now their father is left grieving and angry over the regime killing his family.

Mohammed Abu al-Qumsan never imagined he would return with their death certificates instead.

In a matter of minutes, an Israeli strike on the Qastal Tower building, in Deir Al-Balah, where the Abu al-Qumsan family was living after having been displaced from the north of Gaza, killed his 3-day-old twins, Aser and Aysel, together with their mother, Dr. Jumann Arfa, and grandmother, according to family members.

Abu al-Qumsan lost his sons, his wife and mother in law. Israel intentionally killed them.

The twins were born on Saturday, Aug. 10, as written on their birth certificate. On that day, Dr. Arfa shared the news in a Facebook post, with friends welcoming her babies in war-torn Gaza and praying for their health and safety.

Now the few comments to congratulate the birth below the announcement are overshadowed by hundreds of condolences to the family.

"I helped her raise funds for her to deliver the twins safely. I only spoke with her yesterday, my heart is truly broken," a friend wrote.

He went to get their birth certificates and those assholes uses a precision missile to strike an apartment complex.

An Associated Press investigation identified at least 60 Palestinian families where at least 25 people were killed — sometimes four generations from the same bloodline — in bombings between October and December, the deadliest and most destructive period of the war.

Nearly a quarter of those families lost more than 50 family members in those weeks. Several families have almost no one left to document the toll, especially as documenting and sharing information became harder. Israel has violently obtained footage from reporters if coverage makes the IDF look bad.

The IDF are the real terrorists.

Thousands of "children have been killed in this brutal conflict over the course of just 10 months. When the authorities closed the [border] crossings and deprived these infants and newborns of baby formula, the situation became even more dire. Tragically, a significant number of newborns have lost their lives due to malnutrition too," he said.

Two days after the Abu al-Qumsan family lived their tragedy, the number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, when Hamas militants carried on a surprise attack that left over 1,200 killed and hundreds kidnapped, reached the grim milestone of 40,000, on top of the over 90,000 injured, the health ministry said.

According to the ministry, about 11,000 children are among the dead.

"These appalling atrocities have become tragically commonplace, as relentless, indiscriminate assaults continue to claim the lives of so, so many children and leave countless families devastated. Surely, surely, it must be stopped," a spokesperson for the United Nation Children's Fund (UNICEF), said in a statement to ABC News.

George Helmy Steps In! Bob Menendez Steps Out!

Today Bob Menendez becomes a private citizen and a convicted felon.

Bob Menendez, the independent senator from New Jersey finally steps down after he was found guilty in campaign finance fraud as well as failing to register as a foreign agent.

Menendez who was defiant and vowed to run for reelection. Menendez l11eft the Democratic Party and abandoned his bid once the trial resulted in a guilty verdict.

They wanted him to resign.

Menendez said: "It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. I am not going anywhere." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that Menendez "has a right to due process and a fair trial".

Jury selection for Menendez's trial began on May 13, 2024. On June 4, an FBI agent testified about surveillance she had conducted against Menendez in May 2019 at Morton's The Steakhouse in Washington, D.C., where Menendez and his wife, Nadine, were dining with three others, including an Egyptian official. Agents also testified about a search they performed of a safe deposit box in New Jersey Nadine Menendez used, in which they found $80,000 in cash. The defense noted that Menendez himself had never accessed the safety deposit box.

On June 6, the prosecution called former New Jersey attorney general Gurbir Grewal to the stand. Grewal told the court that in September 2019 Menendez invited him to a meeting at Menendez's office in Newark, at which Menendez complained about Grewal's office's treatment of Hispanic defendants in a trucking insurance fraud investigation; when Menendez made clear he was referring to an ongoing case, Grewal ended the meeting and left.

Closing arguments took place on July 9 and 10. Jury deliberations began on July 12. On July 16, the jury convicted Menendez of accepting bribes. Sentencing will take place on October 29, one week before election day.

Gov. Phil MuMurphy with Senate-designate George Helmy.

Beginning in late 2022, questions were raised about whether Menendez or his wife accepted allowable gifts from an Edgewater, New Jersey, halal meat provider and whether an Egyptian firm received unwarranted favorable treatment. Subpoenas unrelated to the latter firm were issued in May 2023 to Nicholas Sacco, the mayor of North Bergen, New Jersey, and others. Investigators found $480,000 in cash and more than $100,000 worth of gold bars at Menendez's home. On September 22, 2023, federal prosecutors in Manhattan charged five people, including Menendez and his wife Nadine, with corruption in a new indictment. Among the allegations in the indictment was that Menendez "provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt".

The indictment alleges that Menendez used his position to pressure prosecutors in New Jersey who were involved in the cases of his friends Fred Daibes and Jose Uribe in exchange for financial gifts from the two men. According to the Senate Historical Office, Menendez is the first sitting senator to be indicted on two unrelated criminal matters. After the indictment, he gave up his position as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Now tasked with a pick, Gov. Phil Murphy announced he will pick his former chief of staff George Helmy to fulfill the term until the 2024 senate election results. It also ends the noise concerns he would pick his wife to fill the term. 

Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ) and Curtis Bashaw will face off in November. If Kim wins, he will be New Jersey's first Asian American elected to the Senate.

Menendez, who had represented New Jersey in the Senate since 2006, began to face an uncertain political future after he was indicted for federal corruption charges in 2023, his second federal corruption indictment. Amid questions over whether Menendez would seek a fourth term, a contentious Democratic primary followed between Kim and First Lady of New Jersey Tammy Murphy that was marked by allegations of nepotism and party favoritism towards Murphy. 

Tammy Murphy, the first lady of New Jersey abandoned her senate bid and endorsed Andy Kim. The race would be interesting had Menendez stayed in and a MAGA Republican won.

In March, Menendez announced he would not seek the Democratic nomination and Murphy withdrew from the race, leaving Kim as the only major Democratic candidate. 

Menendez filed to run as an independent ahead of the June primaries, but after being convicted of federal corruption the following month, he announced he would resign and end his candidacy.

In the June 4 primary, Kim won the Democratic nomination with 75% of the vote. Bashaw won the Republican nomination with 45% of the vote, defeating Mendham Borough Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner, who was endorsed by former president Donald J. Trump and his allies. 

Republicans will likely abandon New Jersey with Menendez out. Had he stayed in the race and Glassner was in the race, it would still favor Menendez but it would be a nail biter. 

Kim is likely to win his race.

Kim is a staunch supporter of Israel. AIPAC is backing him and his opponent Bashaw.

Had it been Murphy, it would have still favored Democrats despite the noise claiming she would be a nepotism nominee. Murphy may consider running for the House of Representatives in the near future.

Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and MSNBC host Alicia Menendez are the children of Menendez.

Santos Pleas Guilty!

George Santos is a weird dude.

Former New York lawmaker George Santos will plead guilty in federal court for his campaign finance fraud. He is facing at least five years in federal time out.

Santos was the first openly gay Republican elected to the House of Representatives.

A local Long Island newspaper told The Washington Post that Santos lied about his past and left a trail of aggrieved allies from New York all the way to Brazil. Some embarrassing pictures of Santos appearing in drag came forward. The former lawmaker stole from a veteran and his service dog. Lastly, Santos and his partner were improperly using campaign funds to build a lavish lifestyle.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy forced him to step down from his committee assignments once the news came forth.

Santos was defiant and vowed to stay in Congress. He later changed his mind and decided to retire. The House of Representatives didn't give him the opportunity to fulfill his term.

Santos was expelled from Congress in October 2023. Former lawmaker Tom Suozzi ended up winning back the seat. Suozzi as well as Santos were funded by AIPAC and have staunchly supported Israel. 

Suozzi is expected to win the seat for a full term.

According to The New York Times, the former lawmaker will take a plea deal to avoid facing trial on 23 felony charges. If convicted at trial Santos could face significant time behind bars, which he may be able to reduce with a deal.

However, two attorneys representing witnesses in the trial were informed earlier this week that Santos intends to plead guilty on Monday. Santos is expected to give a statement to a New York court admitting guilt to the charges, but the exact nature of his guilty plea and sentence is not known.

Santos is hoping for former president Donald J. Trump pardons him if he wins.

The deal will need to be accepted by U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert. Already the judge has scheduled an in-person hearing for this Monday and delayed a few deadlines in the case.

The disgraced Republican is accused of being involved in a variety of criminal schemes, including using campaign credit cards without authorization, falsely inflation campaign finance reports, fraudulently cashing in on unemployment benefits, lying on his financial disclosures, and deceiving campaign donors.

Last May, Santos was indicted on 13 charges before 10 other counts were added in October. Jury selection for the trial was set to begin on September 9th.

The reported plea deal comes two of Santos’ aides admitted guilt last year.

Today is also the day Sen. Bob Menendez (I-NJ) resigns from the U.S. Senate.

Victoria Jackson May Not Live To See A MAGA Victory!

Washed up actress Victoria Jackson has terminal cancer.

The uchelate playing former actress Victoria Jackson was a fixture during the Obama years. She was the far right entertainer who called former president Barack Obama a "dirty Muslim Communist."

Jackson voiced animated characters on Garfield and Friends and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Jackson is a conspiracy theorist, Zionist, white nationalist and blonde ditz as she described herself.

Jackson announced she has terminal cancer and is not certain that she may be able to assist former president Donald J. Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) to victory.

Jackson admits she is no longer acting because she believes Hollywood silences conservative entertainers.

Roseanne Barr, Rob Schneider, Lil Pump, Kanye West, Scott Baio, Herschel Walker and James Woods are blacklisted. 

Their support for Trump isn't the reasons for the blacklisting. It is the rhetoric they spread online or in public. 

Jackson isn't sweating about Hollywood dodging her calls.

She can always rely on a David Zucker phone call.

Jackson had a brief stint on SNL in the late 1980s to early 1990s.

Jackson took to social media this week to share that she has an inoperable tumor.

“I have 34.8 months to live if I don’t get hit by a meteor, shot by a MAGA hater, get Covid again or WWIII breaks out,” the comedian and actor — who appeared on the NBC sketch show in the 1980s and early 1990s— wrote Wednesday on Instagram.

Jackson said in a video that doctors can’t operate to remove what she described as a “marble” on her windpipe, saying it would eventually “suffocate me to death.”

She added that doctors are giving her a “magic pill” containing ribociclib, a kind of cancer growth blocker, that she hopes will “shrink the marble.”

Jackson said in a video that doctors can’t operate to remove what she described as a “marble” on her windpipe, saying it would eventually “suffocate me to death.”
She added that doctors are giving her a “magic pill” containing ribociclib, a kind of cancer growth blocker, that she hopes will “shrink the marble.”

She said she looked up the pill, which she did not name, on Google before finding out that those who use it typically have under three years to live.

“I’ve had a fantastic life,” said the 65-year-old.

Jackson’s health update comes after she previously revealed a breast cancer diagnosis nearly a decade ago.

Outside of “SNL,” Jackson’s credits include films such as “Casual Sex?” and “UHF.” She’s also acted in a number of TV shows, such as Comedy Central’s “Strip Mall” and Nickelodeon’s “Romeo!”

Jackson has faced backlash for making controversial remarks over the years. She called Barack Obama an “Islamic jihadist” toward the end of his presidency, and she knocked the show “Glee” in 2011 for a scene in which two gay characters kiss.

She told Minnesota’s Star Tribune in 2022 that it became difficult to find roles in Hollywood around the time of those remarks.

“I was blacklisted,” Jackson said.

Jackson, who has two daughters and is married to former law enforcement officer Paul Wessel, said in this week’s video that she’d like to see a grandson, named Jimmy, be born in October and “would like to see my daughter Aubrey have a baby.”

South Carolina, Please Vote Nancy Mace Out! She Is Not Serious About The Job!

"The Give Zero Fucks" nonsense will backfire and Nancy Mace will be vulnerable for defeat.

Nancy Ruth Mace is a victim of sexual abuse. In what world could the two term lawmaker support a man who was found liable for sexual assault?

How the hell can a woman who ran as a practical conservative turn out to be one of the insufferable members?

Remember, former South Carolina U.S. lawmaker Joe Cunningham called her an opportunist who is willing to sell her soul for Donald J. Trump. She denied it and stated that she wants to be a voice for the constituents of the 1st Congressional District.

Now riding on this gaslighting and "I'm a victim" bullshit, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) shows herself out once again. 

The three things that should cost her reelection.

1. The spray paint on the sidewalk and her blaming antifa for it. It happened in front of her Ring Doorbell Camera and no property was stolen. Mace had taken pictures of herself with spray paint and the writing of her vowels almost matched what was sprayed on the sidewalk.

2. Her staff has complained about her behavior. Staff complain about her talking too much about her sex life, revenge against her ex-fiance, her appearing to be drunk, drinking while on the job, the endless showboating and berating former staffers. 

3. Mace pretending to be dumb. She graduated from the University of Georgia and The Citadel. On Fox, she speaks like a MAGA Republican. On CNN, Newsnation and MSNBC, she tries to speak like a normal politician. It is all an act. She does it to fend off primary challenges or a strong Democratic opponent. Mace and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) were once influential members of the Republican Party. They are considered to be almost equal to the far right members Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) (by whom they've feuded with). Totally insufferable.

Months ago, she stated she will no longer appear on ABC'S This Week with George Stephanopoulos and Martha Raddatz. Stephanopoulos called Mace out for backing Trump even after he was found liable for sexual abuse and convicted of lying in financial records to hide an affair with Stormy Daniels. Mace even went as far to attack her former ally Nikki Haley when the former UN Ambassador and Republican presidential candidate told the junk food media that Trump's actions will turn off Republicans and in the end you will get Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Mace constantly showboating. She was berating the former U.S. Secret Service director after the Trump assassination attempt. She called for jailing university presidents and professors who faced pressure to expel protesters who boycott Israel. She attack Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for silently protesting Benjamin Netanyahu at the Joint Session of Congress. She was one of eight members to vote Kevin McCarthy out of his speakership. The ex-lawmaker McCarthy vowed to oust her by any means necessary. She wore a Scarlet Letter shirt with the A on it. She was clueless wearing it because it represents protecting women's reproductive rights.

Mace is feuding with Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC). Wilson, the "You Lie" guy has backed every primary challenger against Mace. The insufferable Katie Arrington and former GOP candidate for governor Catherine Timpleton were backed by Wilson. Mace is backed by AIPAC also so it was more money poured in backing her because she backs Israel more than the other two. Arrington was backed by Trump in her two failed bid. Mace was endorsed by Trump this year. 

Now she is intentionally mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris' name.

On CNN with Abby Phillips, the host, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson and Keith Boykin were thinking the folding chair. 

Mace repeatedly mispronounced Harris’ name and declared that she would say her name “any way that I want to.”

Dyson, a professor in African American studies at Vanderbilt University, described her remarks as “disgusting.”

Michael Eric Dyson calls out Mace for deliberately mispronouncing Kamala Harris' name.

“You know what, you know what’s disgusting to women is her disrespect of women,” Mace said. “She doesn’t know what a woman is. And 25 years ago—”

“White women don’t have the ability to tell Black women who paid the price of blood to make this country what it is to tell them they’re not real women,” Dyson said.

Mace’s ridiculous claim arrived after Dyson said the congresswoman’s “any way that I want to” remarks stemmed from “the history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity of Black people.”

“Oh, so now you’re calling me racist?” Mace said.

“I didn’t say—” Dyson replied before the two sparred on the CNN panel.

Mace doubled down on her mispronunciation of Harris’ name. Sociolinguistics professor Nicole Holliday told HuffPost last month that right-wingers are botching the vice president’s name “on purpose,” noting that it could be taken as a way to show that “you’re not really for her” politically.

Mace, who was later asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip whether Trump should stop suggesting that Harris is “not actually Black” when he questioned her racial identity last month, squirmed as she dodged the “yes or no” question.

“Well, I mean, I, I, I didn’t hear him say it, I didn’t hear what he said about her race, I’m not gonna weigh in on her race,” said Mace, who weighed in on other aspects of Harris’ identity earlier on the panel.

She later added, “Well, she’s of mixed race. She’s of mixed race.”

Phillip later said that it doesn’t “take that much courage” to say Trump’s comments were “out of bounds.”

Democratic strategist Keith Boykin then pressed Mace to “just say yes” before saying that she was in a “cult” with her leader being the former president.

“The fact that you talk to women this way is ridiculous,” Mace said.

“You just talked about a Black woman that way,” replied Boykin as Phillip attempted to wrap up the program.

“In what way? She doesn’t know what a woman is,” said Mace as she doubled down on her insult.

Michael B. Moore is the Democratic nominee for the district. He is African American and he is not getting much attention due to the Democrats not pouring money into the race.

Maybe it's time to change that. Mace is not safe. If McCarthy is vowing to get rid of her, I am certain that we can make this race more interesting if we start boasting Moore.

Lowcountry South Carolina should have fair congressional representation. Mace once again proved that racial gerrymandering keeps her in power. 

From working at a local Waffle House to now being an insufferable lawmaker who uses racial attacks against a Black woman shows how ineffective she is. 

I mean Mace represents a district where a dirty cop killed Walter Scott and a white terrorist killed nine people inside Mother Emanuel AME Church.

BeatKing Passed Away!

Houston rapper, deejay and producer BeatKing passed away. He is pictured with Drake.

Justin Riley, known nationally as BeatKing was a rapper and producer who was known for his club music and also went by the name Club Godzilla, has died at the age of 39, his manager confirmed Thursday on Instagram.

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. 

Colorado, Please Vote Lauren Boebert Out! She Ain't Serious About The Job!

Lauren Boebert is an embarrassment to Colorado.

Colorado, does this woman take the job of being a U.S. Representative seriously?

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.

Ginger wrote in the post: "We love confident, healthy, patriotic women like Lauren."

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.

Anna Paulina Luna is an embarrassment to Florida.

In January, Jayson claimed she punched him during a confrontation, but later retracted his statement. Around the same time, Jayson was arrested for allegedly assaulting their 18-year-old son, Tyler, during a dispute over laundry. He was accused of drawing a gun as the situation escalated.

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.

It Is Getting Really Bad!

I wonder if he noticed that frozen food will go bad if its out too long.

The Trump Campaign is about to bring back that moron Corey Lewandowski and may fire Chris Lacivita and Susan Wiles. The campaign has been sinking after the assassination attempt.

Former president Donald J. Trump was fuming over President Joe Biden stepping down from the 2024 election. Trump was confident he would be able to beat him. Now he is stuck with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump can't figure out how to go after Harris so he is resorting to attacking Biden, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee and the junk food media. He is mispronouncing her name, saying she is unintelligent and still running on this border czar nonsense.

On Thursday, Trump held another press conference at his Bedminster Golf Course in New Jersey. The former president offered grievances and more ridiculous name calling. He did not take questions nor offered an agenda or defense of his policies under his one term.

Trump was asked during a news conference whether his campaign needs more discipline as he faces a Democratic ticket newly energized since Harris replaced Biden as the party’s presidential candidate.

“As far as the personal attacks, I’m very angry at her because of what she’s done to the country. I’m very angry at her that she would weaponize the justice system against me and other people, very angry at her. I think I’m entitled to personal attacks,” Trump said at his New Jersey golf club, where he invited reporters in his quest to saddle Harris with Biden’s unpopular economic record.

“I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence and I think she’ll be a terrible president,” he added.

It was taken by CNN and Fox. The other networks held it on streaming or YouTube.

MSNBC did not cover it because they knew he would waste time and they would give him another shameless plug.

Republicans are concerned that he is not connecting. He constantly rambling about polls, crowd sizes, the border, defending Israel, the Taliban, Russia and saying the country will go to hell if Harris is elected. These Sean "Softball" Hannity-like rants are turning voters off.

Trump was suppose to talk about issues and offer solutions. For over an hour, he suckered the junk food media into another waste of time. He also is reminded he was convicted in the state of New York. Trump is asking for Judge Juan Merchan to delay his sentencing.

There is no evidence that Biden or Harris weaponized the criminal justice system to target Trump, who has pledged to retaliate with criminal investigations of Biden and his relatives if he wins.

Trump also took issue with Democrats branding him and his running mate as “weird.” Harris is “weird in her policy,” he said.

There were more embarrassing incidents involving Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH). The Republican vice presidential nominee was pictured in a men's restroom with women acting like they were urinating in a stall. It comes after another audio leak of Vance talking about women having menstruation.

Trump stuck close to his scripted economic message for more than half an hour, reading from a binder in front of him. Later, he veered into familiar stories he enjoys telling at his rallies. A day earlier, he had struggled to make a sustained case for his economic policies during a meandering speech that his campaign had billed as a major policy address.

“Kamala Harris is a radical California liberal who broke the economy, broke the border and broke the world, frankly,” Trump told reporters.

Trump was flanked by popular grocery store items, including coffee, breakfast cereals and pastries, laid out on tables as he highlighted the cost of everything from food to car insurance to housing. Posters showed the increase of prices for grocery staples.

At one point, as Trump talked about the 2020 election he lost, he noticed a box of cereal.

“I haven’t seen Cheerios in a long time,” Trump said. “I’m going to take them back to my cottage.”

As he turned to walk back inside, Trump did not respond to shouted questions about when he last went grocery shopping.

The event came one day after the Labor Department announced year-over-year inflation had reached its lowest level in more than three years in July — the latest sign that the worst price spike in four decades is fading.

But consumers are still feeling the impact of higher prices — something Trump’s campaign is banking on to motivate voters this fall.

A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that Americans are more likely to trust Trump over Harris when it comes to handling the economy and immigration, issues he has put at the center of his case for returning to the White House.

Harris is planning her own economic policy speech Friday in North Carolina, promising to push for a federal ban on price gouging on groceries.

Trump predicted he would beat Harris by more that he would have beaten Biden by “once she’s exposed.”

“People don’t know who she is,” Trump said.

A small crowd of Trump supporters watched his news conference from the periphery, occasionally cheering him on. But without a crowd of thousands to please with red meat attacks on his enemies, Trump stuck closer to his prepared remarks.

Trump continued lobbing insults at Harris and Biden at an evening event dedicated to Jewish voters, where he was introduced by GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson to an audience that included a Holocaust survivor.

Hours before the news conference, Trump’s campaign leaders announced they were expanding his staff, bringing a number of former aides and outside advisers formally into the fold. Lewandowski, Taylor Budowich, Alex Pfeiffer, Alex Bruesewitz and Tim Murtaugh will advise the campaign’s senior leadership.

Lewandowski was Trump’s first campaign manager during his 2016 campaign. Budowich and Pfeiffer are moving over from MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC. Bruesewitz produces pro-Trump content for a large social media following. And Murtaugh was the communications director for Trump’s 2020 campaign.

Summer has been the time for shakeups in Trump’s two prior campaigns. This year’s change comes weeks after the campaign itself was transformed by Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign and endorse Harris.

Trump gave his top advisers a vote of confidence Thursday, writing on his social media platform that his management team headed by Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles is “THE BEST.”

Trump spoke to the press as he has stepped up his criticism of Harris for not holding a news conference or sitting down for interviews since Biden made way for her.

“I think I’m doing a very calm campaign,” Trump said after being asked about criticism from Republicans who want him to focus less on personal attacks.

“Some of you will say, ‘He ranted and raved,’” Trump said to journalists. “I’m a very calm person, believe it or not.”

Elon Musk And JK Rowling Getting Sued By Olympian Imane Khelif!

Keep my name out your mouth

The power of social media has led to misinformation being spread and accusations against an Algerian female boxer being transgender. That led to weeks of conspiracy theories being tossed around by Republicans and far right agitators. 

Even the former president of the United States and 2024 Republican presidential nominee got into the foray.

Imane Khelif is suing Elon Musk and JK Rowling in French Court.

LibsofTikTok, Fox, Newsmax, Candace Owens, Jesse Watters, Sean "Softball" Hannity and former president Donald J. Trump are the most notorious agitators spreading this.

According to Variety, Musk and Rowling were named in a French lawsuit which complained about “acts of aggravated cyber harassment” after Khelif received a wave of abuse on social media due to misinformation about her gender.

Musk and Rowling were among those who accused Khelif – who was born female – of being a man after her Paris Olympics boxing match against Italian boxer Angela Carini ended in Carini’s withdrawal after just 46 seconds.

Rich bigots face a lawsuit.

Following the match, Musk endorsed a post which said “men don’t belong in women’s sports,” while Rowling tweeted, “Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”

Variety reported that the lawsuit was filed “against X, which under French law means that it was filed against unknown persons.” This gives prosecutors the ability “to investigate against all people” who may have taken part in the “cyber harassment,” including posting “hateful messages under pseudonyms.”

Khelif’s attorney Nabil Boudi pointed to Musk and Rowling, as well as former President Donald Trump, whom he said would also “inevitably be looked into as part of the prosecution” for calling Khelif a man.

Monkeypox Is Becoming A Global Threat!

Monkeypox is deadly.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are notified that a potential pandemic is a coming. The monkeypox disease is global health emergency.

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.

Save the Children said Congo’s health system already had been “collapsing” under the strain of malnutrition, measles and cholera.

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.

Wally "Famous" Amos Passed Away!

Count on me.

I though he passed away five years ago in a Hawai'ian mansion where he was growing macadamian nuts. Well I guess I was sadly mistaken.

The definition of a self made Black man. 

Who says the cookie doesn't crumble?

Wally Amos, the man who is best known as Famous Amos passed away at the age of 88.

Amos was married four times, most recently to Carol Williams. He had four children: Michael Amos, Gregory Amos, Sarah Amos, and musician Shawn Amos. Amos lived in Hawaii from 1977 until 2018. He also lived in Columbia, South Carolina, where he was working on Aunt Della's Cookies as of 2018.

Amos died of complications of dementia at his home in Honolulu on August 13, 2024.

Born Wallace Amos in Tallahassee, Florida, he created a cookie so delicious, many of the greatest soul singers requested him to visit them backstage so they could get some of those Famous Amos cookies. 

Wallace enrolled at the Food Trades Vocational High School. He showed his interest in cooking at a young age. It was from his aunt Della Bryant, who would bake cookies for him, that Amos later developed his chocolate chip cookie recipe. Shortly before graduation, Amos dropped out of high school to join the United States Air Force.


He served at Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii from 1954 until 1957. He earned his high school equivalency diploma before being honorably discharged from the military.

Returning to New York City, Amos went to college to become a secretary, and after graduating, took a mailroom clerk job with the William Morris Agency. Eventually, he became the agency's first African American talent agent. He signed Simon & Garfunkel and headed the agency's rock 'n' roll department. Amos attracted clients by sending them chocolate chip cookies along with an invitation to visit him. He represented musicians such as The Temptations, Sam Cooke, and Marvin Gaye.

In 1975, a friend suggested to Amos that he set up a store to sell his cookies, and in March of that year, the first Famous Amos cookie store opened in Los Angeles, California. He started the business with the help of a $25,000 loan from Marvin Gaye and Helen Reddy. The company began to expand, and eventually, Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies could be found on supermarket shelves across the United States. He became such a known figure culturally that he appeared as himself in the Taxi episode "Latka's Cookies", in 1981. Thanks in part to the success of his cookie company, he was hired to deliver speeches. He wrote 10 books, many of which have a self-help theme, including The Cookie Never Crumbles and The Power in You.

In 1979, Amos' long-time friend and publicist John Rosica introduced him to Literacy Volunteers of America. Amos advocated literacy and helped thousands of adults learn to read. In 1987, he also hosted a television series designed to teach others how to read, entitled Learn to Read, produced by Kentucky Educational Television and WXYZ-TV.

Wally Amos opened up his first bakery in Los Angeles and it became one of the most popular establishments in Black culture.

In 1986, Amos was awarded the Entrepreneurial Excellence Award by President Ronald Reagan at the White House Conference on Small Business.

Due to financial troubles, Amos was forced to sell the Famous Amos Company, and because the name "Famous Amos" was trademarked by his former company, he had to use The Uncle Noname's Cookie Company as his new company's name. A Famous Amos distributor at the time, Lou Avignone, heard Amos on a local radio talk show and, inspired by Amos' story of his early business success with Famous Amos and his spirit, contacted Amos with the idea for starting a new business. In 1994, the two became partners and subsequently launched Uncle Noname Gourmet Muffins. The company focused on fat-free, nutritious muffins at that time. Uncle Noname became Uncle Wally's Muffin Company in 1999. The muffins are sold in more than 3,500 stores nationwide.

In 2014, an article in Fortune magazine lauded "The cookie comeback of 'Famous' Wally Amos" as Amos brought back his handmade cookies under a new name The Cookie Kahuna. These cookies were marketed in a store in Hawaii, where Amos was based. They come in the flavors original chocolate chip, chocolate chip with pecans and butterscotch with macadamia nuts.

In 2019, Amos was called "the King of cookies" by NBC affiliate KSNV-TV in Las Vegas.

In 2020, Content Media Group released a documentary on the life of Wally Amos, The Great Cookie Comeback: reBaking Wally Amos. The film was directed by Jeff MacIntyre.
