Sarah McBride Is On Lock To Become First Transwoman In U.S. House!

Sarah McBride is about to break barriers.

Democrats continue to be the party of firsts.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) better watch their mouths. Hopefully their opponents defeat them. But if not, a new face maybe joining them if she is elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. A lawmaker who isn't going to tolerate the misgendering, the smears and the bullshit transphobia. 

A woman who is going to be fighting for the freedoms of all Delawarans. A woman who is going to be joining the party that nominated the first African American woman to be the president.

Sarah McBride, an activist turned Delaware state senator is a transgender woman.

If she is elected in November, she will become the first American transgender woman to be seated in the 119th Session of the U.S. House of Representatives.

That also comes as Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) being the first African American woman to be elected to the seat. She is the current nominee running for the Senate to replace Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE). She will be likely elected and will become the fifth 

President Joe Biden will back them as well as Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in their bid for president.

McBride won the Democratic Primary election for the 2024 United States House of Representatives election in Delaware, winning 79.9% of the votes against two other opponents, officially becoming the Democratic nominee. She is favored to win the general election.

On Tuesday, voters in the Blue Hen State were deciding their fall nominees in several political contests, including picking Matt Meyer, the chief executive of Delaware’s most populous county, in the Democratic primary for governor.

McBride won Tuesday’s primary over businessmen Earl Cooper and Elias Weir, neither of whom reported raising any money for their campaigns. Cooper is a political newcomer, while Weir finished dead last in a 2016 congressional primary with less than 1% of the vote.

McBride, meanwhile, raised almost $3 million in contributions from around the country. McBride achieved national recognition at the 2016 Democratic National Convention as the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention in the United States.

McBride will face James Whalen IIII, a retired state police officer and construction company owner from Millsboro, who won the GOP primary race against Donyale Hall, a Dover businesswoman and a Gulf War-era veteran of the U.S. Air Force. Democrats have held the seat since 2010.

While I am rooting for her to win, the issue that faces her, Rochester and other Democrats running is their support for Israel and being funded by the controversial American Israel Public Affairs Committee, one of the largest foreign lobbying groups in the country.

The problem is AIPAC and its proxy Democratic Majority for Israel. These entities are ensuring that McBride will support the apartheid ethnostate of Israel regardless of its crimes against humanity.

The foreign lobbying group has already have its grip on her and Whalen.

And It's Like That!

Aren't you getting tired of this?

Former president Donald J. Trump does another press conference and it was another shameless promotion of his properties and the usual antics he offers at his rallies.

Of course, he was asked about the debate, how he will deport immigrants and the alleged affair with white nationalist Laura Loomer.

Trump appearing at a property in California. He disses Gov. Gavin Newsom, Vice President Kamala Harris, complains about David Muir and Linsey Davis, refuses to do anymore debates and a hodge podge of random things. The usual "the country is going to hell" and he can do stuff like "no other can."

Speaking at a news conference at his Los Angeles-area golf club, Trump unleashed a litany of attacks against Harris and California, as he stood on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

“She destroyed San Francisco and she destroyed the state,” Trump said of Harris, who represented California in the Senate and also served as the state’s attorney general and the district attorney of San Francisco before becoming vice president. He accused her of having been soft on crime in her previous positions — something aides had suggested he would focus on during the debate.

He brought up a discredited claim about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, hunting and eating pets at Tuesday’s presidential debate watched by more than 67 million people, as Harris repeatedly put him on the defensive about the economy and abortion. The claims — which he has also amplified in social media posts — have driven millions of online conversations, and resulted in serious repercussions for the town.

Bomb threats directed at the homes of Springfield’s mayor and other city officials, as well as Springfield City Hall and schools, prompted the evacuation of schools and government buildings there for a second day on Friday.

Laura Loomer is allegedly Trump's mistress.

Yet Trump’s allies, notably his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, have repeatedly raised the claims about pets — even as Vance acknowledged they may be false.

Trump, who has promised if elected again to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, on Friday dismissed concerns from city officials and said his operation would target Springfield.

“The real threat is what’s happening at our border,” he said.

President Joe Biden on Friday said the Haitian community was “under attack” and the false claims had to stop.

Trump refused on Friday to condemn recent racist and conspiratorial comments from right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer, who traveled with him earlier this week to Tuesday night’s presidential debate and several 9/11 memorial events.

“Laura’s been a supporter of mine,” Trump told reporters at a press conference near Los Angeles, where he was pressed on concerns from Republican allies about his ongoing association with Loomer, who once declared herself a “proud Islamophobe” and has a long history of promoting ugly and extreme conspiracies.

Trump said Loomer has “strong opinions,” but insisted at the news conference he was unaware of her recent comments, including a post on X in which she played on racist stereotypes by writing that “the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center” if Harris, wins in November. Harris is the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants.

“I don’t control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants,” Trump said. “I can’t tell Laura what to do.”

Yet later, via his Truth Social account, Trump tried to distance himself more clearly from Loomer, saying, “I disagree with the statements she made” and describing her as “a private citizen and longtime supporter” who “doesn’t work for the Campaign.” Even in that post, though, Trump defended Loomer, writing that “like the many millions of people who support me, she is tired of watching the Radical Left Marxists and Fascists violently attack and smear me.”

Loomer’s appearances on the campaign trail with Trump have alarmed some top supporters, who have taken the rare move of publicly airing their concerns that he is hurting his chances against Harris, who is driving up Democratic enthusiasm that intensified with her debate performance Tuesday. Harris was campaigning Friday across Pennsylvania.

Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia congresswoman known herself for spreading conspiracies, called the post about curry “appalling and extremely racist” and said it did not represent Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) called Loomer “a crazy conspiracy theorist who regularly utters disgusting garbage intended to divide Republicans,” and said a Democratic Party “plant couldn’t do a better job than she is doing to hurt President Trump’s chances of winning re-election.”

Trump has a history of association with extremists, including dining in 2022 at his Mar-a-Lago club with Nick Fuentes, a far-right activist who had used his online platform to spew antisemitic and white nationalist rhetoric. Trump had said at the time that he “knew nothing about” Fuentes before his dinner with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

It's Gonna Get Ugly!

Trump's arm candy.
Former president Donald J. Trump hired Steve Bannon as a campaign advisor in 2016.

The junk food media complained about Bannon's ties to white nationalism and his peddling of conspiracy theories. Trump still managed to win and become the president.

Trump now is associated with Laura Loomer. A woman who became infamous for storming an outdoor play depicting Julius Caesar as Trump. She gain infamy for confronting lawmakers and media personalities who often criticize Trump. She appears to be a woman with Asperger's Syndrome and bipolar disorder. It was rumored she was going to be commit to a mental hospital because of her behavior.

She also is Islamophobic. She has attacked Muslims. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI), Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and women's rights activist Linda Sarsour were notable for Loomer.

She chained herself to Twitter/X's offices in New York when she was booted off in 2019.

Elon Musk reinstated her.

Loomer ran for Congress twice and lost to Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL) in the general and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) in a primary.

She supports Israel and Russia in their genocidal wars. 

Loomer has also advise Trump to go after immigrants. Loomer is likely told Trump and J.D. Vance the story of Haitians eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. She was also involved in the secret Trump supporting brother of Tim Walz. Loomer also said that Vice President Kamala Harris winning would make the White House smell like curry and folks working there would be in a call center trying to talk like an American. She and Chaya Raichik believe Harris was given answers through her pearl earrings. 

Loomer also claimed that ABC News reporter Linsey Davis fed Harris debate questions because they are members of the same sorority.

There was a video of Trump grabbing Loomer by the waist and comfortably hugged her.

Loomer vowed that if Trump loses, her life will be ruined. She will target Republicans who are not willing to back him. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are notable. They endorsed Harris and got flack from that.

Insufferable lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is reportedly furious at Trump and called him directly to tell him to dump her to no avail.

Republicans are concerned that Trump is taking advice from Loomer and it led to his shocking claims about Haitians eating pets. 

Did you know that Springfield, Ohio has numerous bomb threats at schools and city hall because of this?

Collard Greene!

We can't be friends.

MAGA is a hot mess. 

The insufferable duo are back at it again. 

Georgia's most laziest lawmaker is actually defending Vice President Kamala Harris from attacks from the country's most insufferable troll.

It was revealed that the white nationalist and notorious conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer accompanied former president Donald J. Trump as well as Tulsi Gabbard and Alina Habba, the alleged mistress.

Loomer was there for Trump's debate prep and likely gave him the story about Haitians stealing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. That woman fed J.D. Vance, a Yale graduate Ohio senator literally fake news. 

It tells you that Vance never visited the city.

Loomer steaming mad over Trump's horrible debate performance. She is livid so much she is resorting to racism and conspiracy theories about Harris. Loomer questioned Harris having employment at McDonald's. She promoted the Harris got an earpiece and now the White House will smell like Indian cooking if she becomes the president.

Harris identifies as a Black woman but honors her mother's Indian heritage.

On September 8, in response to a post from Harris featuring photos from a childhood visit to India, Loomer, a self-proclaimed “proud Islamophobe” who was once kicked off Twitter for anti-Muslim remarks, claimed:“If @KamalaHarris wins, the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand.”

Insufferable Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) certainly no fan of Harris or President Joe Biden slammed Loomer for taking aim at South Asians. 

Notable Republicans who are Indian American are Bobby Jindal, Dinesh D'Souza, Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley. Wonder how they are gonna react to the Loomer and Greene feud.

“This is appalling and extremely racist,” Georgia Representative Greene said in response on X. “It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA. This does not represent President Trump. This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever.”

Loomer then fired back, calling Greene a “raging anti semite” and claimed her post was a “funny joke about Kamala Harris” using “her Indian mom as a way to dodge questions.”

Both women, in fact, have long been accused of spreading hate, accusations that haven’t stopped either from getting praise from Donald Trump.

Loomer has made hateful remarks about Representative Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia, and once called for a new ridesharing service that didn’t allow Muslims.

Greene has her own history of inflammatory remarks, including spreading conspiracies about 9/11, the Parkland shooting, and claiming before she was elected that a prominent Jewish banking family used a space laser to start fires in California.

Greene is a longtime ally of Trump, and regularly appears at his campaign rallies, including an event in June where she compared the former president to Jesus Christ.

Trump, for his part, regularly taunts Harris over her heritage, intentionally misprouncing her name and accusing Harris — whose father is from Jamaica, who attended an HBCU, and who pledged one of the nation’s largest Black sorrorities — of only deciding to “turn Black” in recent days for the first time.

Peter Renaday Passed Away!

Peter Renaday, famed voice actor from the 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series has passed away.

A voice actor who had roles on original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and original The Transformers has passed away. The voice actor Peter Renaday has passed away at the age of 89 of natural causes on Sunday. It was confirmed on Thursday.

Born Pierre Laurent Renoudet in New Iberia, Louisiana, on September 6, 1935, he was known as the voice of Splinter, the sensei and father figure of the four turtle ninjas.

He also played supporting character Vernon Fenwick, April O'Neil's supervisor and frenemy. He played Transformer Grapple in the second season.

He made his acting debut in 1965 in television series Combat!, and in the 1980s, Renaday was cast in the first animated television adaptation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as Splinter, a large mutant rat, who serves as the sensei (mentor) and ninjitsu and martial arts trainer of the eponymous turtles from 1987 until the show's finale in 1996.

Hamato Yoshi became Splinter, the Turtles sensei and father figure.

Renaday was married to Florence "Flo" June Daniel from 1979 until her death on February 18, 2011. She worked as a secretary in the music department of the Walt Disney Studios for 35 years, including as executive secretary to two heads of the department. A coloratura soprano, she was also featured as a vocalist on "The Sounds of Christmas" produced by Disneyland Records in 1973, alongside her husband.

Renaday died at his home in Burbank, California on September 8, 2024, aged 89; his death appeared to be from natural causes.

Townsend Coleman, the voice of Michelangelo, the Rat King, the Shredder and The Tick announced his passing on social media.

“Pete was one of the most genuine, salt of the earth people I have ever known and I will miss him dearly,” Coleman wrote on social media (see the post below). “I had the privilege of visiting with him a month ago and he was as vibrant as ever, at 89 just as endearingly silly, smart and talented as I’ve always known him to be.”

Renaday played Grapple, the master builder from The Transformers.

In addition to his role as Master Splinter, Renaday is also known for voicing the animatronic Abraham Lincoln reciting the Gettysburg Address at Walt Disney World’s The Hall of Presidents. He also voiced the animatronic bear characters Henry and Max at Disney World’s original Country Bear Jamboree attraction.

Renaday’s nearly 200 other film and TV credits include a mix of both voice and live-action roles, including performances in such Disney animated features as The Aristocats (1970), The Rescuers (1977) and The Black Cauldron (1985). Animated TV credits include Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, Alvin & The Chipmunks, The Transformers, The Real Ghostbusters and Batman: The Animated Series.

Live-action roles include performances in ’60s-’70s fare such as Combat!, The Love Bug, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, The Barefoot Executive and The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again.

Frankie Beverly Passed Away!

Frankie Beverly, frontman from the soul group Maze has passed away.

Whenever you went to a Black cookout, you always heard a song that goes good with grilling and line dancing. 

"Before I Let Go" was the song from Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Frankie Beverly has passed away.

His family said in a post on the band’s website and social media accounts that Beverly died Tuesday. In the post, which asked for privacy, the family said “he lived his life with a pure soul, as one would say, and for us, no one did it better.” The post did not say his cause of death or where he died.

Beverly, whose songs include “Joy and Pain,” “Love is the Key,” and “Southern Girl,” finished his farewell “I Wanna Thank You Tour” in his hometown of Philadelphia in July. That same month, the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans included a special tribute to Beverly and Maze, who closed out the event for its first 15 years. His performances at the festival — the nation’s largest annual celebration of Black culture — would turn the crowd into a sea of dancing fans, many wearing white clothing like Beverly himself often donned.

“Frankie Beverly’s artistry wasn’t just about sound; it was the very thread that stitched together our collective memories and moments of joy,” the festival’s organizers said in a statement. “His melodies will forever echo in our hearts and continue to inspire.”

Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League and a former mayor of New Orleans, said Maze’s 1981 album “Live In New Orleans” cemented the city’s relationship with Beverly. Morial said he always sat in the front row for Maze’s closeout show at the festival and remembers turning around and seeing a crowd that was “joyful like a choir” singing all of the words with Beverly.

“His music had feeling. It had positive themes of love, happiness, family and togetherness,” Morial said. “It was just electrical and magical and it’s what made us fall in love with him.”

Beverly’s songs have become interwoven into celebrations in Black communities. The band’s 1981 song “Before I Let Go,” which has been covered by Beyoncé, can be heard everywhere from clubs to cookouts, sure to get people on their feet.

“When the song comes on, it’s time to dance,” said Hakeem Holmes, vice president of the Essence Festival.

He said the band’s music brings such comfort and joy that there’s a “healing aspect” to it. And, he said, songs like “We Are One” bring people together as everyone sings along.

In an interview published over the summer in Essence magazine, Beverly called music “the love of my life.” He said in the interview that he didn’t know exactly why his music appealed across all ages, but that he believed “God made a path for my music to reach each generation.”

Howard Stanley Beverly, born Dec. 6, 1946 in Philadelphia, was so taken with the 1950s R&B group Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers that he changed his name to Frankie.


Maze started out in Philadelphia the early 1970s as Raw Soul before heading to the San Francisco Bay Area. It was Marvin Gaye who convinced him to change the band’s name to Maze and, in 1977, helped them release their first album, “Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly.”

On the title track of his 1989 album “Silky Soul,” Beverly paid tribute to Gaye, remembering the singer who thrived on the romantic soul and protest songs that Maze was also known for.

“That kind of faith, you’re talking ’60s, hippie generation,” Beverly told The Associated Press in 1990. “It’s missing and I personally feel bad about that. We grew up in the ’60s — we’re ex-hippies.”

Among those mourning Beverly was Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who wrote on X: “His timeless music, his powerful words and his lasting impact. I’m devastated to hear about this one.”

New Orleans resident Sedrick T. Thomas, 64, a lifelong fan of Beverly and his music, said Beverly’s passing “leaves a chasm in the world of R&B.”

“I feel myself in mourning,” Thomas said. “Frankie was a great entertainer who made sure we, as fans, walked away with an incredible experience. I grew up on his music. I thank him for ‘Joy and Pain,’ for ‘Southern Girl,’ for ‘Happy Feelin’s, and for ‘Before I Let Go.’ I thank him for the time and energy he put into his performances. And though the music will live on, he will be greatly missed.”

23 - 9/11! / Still Free Palestine!


The U.S. honors the victims of Sept. 11, 2001.

Wonder why it happened?

The U.S. and its support for Israel led to al Qaeda plotting revenge. 

Sometimes questioning motives isn't an attack on the victims. It a mission to question authority, the status quo and get to the honest truth.

I remember I was staying with my parents and we just got a new digital cable box. I wake up around 9:15am and turned on Comedy Central to see the World Trade Center buildings on fire. I thought it was a joke. I asked my dad what the heck happened.

He told me that two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center. At first I thought it was a reckless pilot but when it became apparent it was two planes hit, I immediately realized that the U.S. will be going to war. It was a terrorist attack carried out by 19 men who figured out a weakness in airline security. They managed to hijack four commercial flights and crashed them into the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and a rural part of  Pennsylvania.

This is the 23rd anniversary of the tragic attack on New York, Washington, DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Also this is the 12th anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

The attack was inspired by men radicalized by the noise of Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri. The 19 men dressed like normal travelers. They got on planes leaving Boston Logan, Newark Liberty and Reagan and hijacked the planes mid-flight. The first airline crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. As the New York authorities were trying to rescue those trapped in the building, another airline crashed into the South Tower. By that time, President George W. Bush was notified of the attack on New York. He abruptly left a Florida school during a reading session.

During his briefing, another plane would crash into the Pentagon. The Pentagon was not destroyed but it sustained heavy damage. By that time Vice President Dick Cheney was notified to evacuate the White House and Observatory Circle. Congress was also notified and had to take evacuations.

The news was zeroed in on the World Trade Center. All the cable channels went to live coverage. CNN was the first network to report the airline crashing into the towers.

On top of that, the FAA and U.S. military were notified to close off airspace and border crossings. The final plane was expected to hit Congress was averted by the victims. They managed to restrain several hijackers. The final plane would end up aborting by crashing into rural Pennsylvania. The hijacker deliberately crashed the plane to prevent them from taking back control.

The Pentagon was heavily damaged by the attack. They rebuild the structure.

These terrorists shook America and led our nation into war with two countries. 

George W. Bush declared war on Afghanistan after the nation refused to handover al Qaeda leaders and funders. The war started in December 2001 and ended in August 2021.

The U.S. overthrown the Taliban and it held them out until the U.S. forces formally left. 

The Taliban regained control shortly after U.S. forces left. 

The Republicans used the Afghanistan war to promote Islamophobia, hatred of immigrants and called anti-war protesters, "traitors" and "enemies of the state." Fox led the way to generating public option and threw culture wars into the public discourse. It led to many noise makers using freedom and liberty as it was their rightful ownership.

Republicans would soon encourage the public to fight the war in Iraq. The U.S. was misled by allegations that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and allied with al Qaeda. That led us to a 8 year war that ended in 2011.

When Barack Obama ran for president, he promised that he wouldn't rest until the leaders of al-Qaeda were captured or killed. His political rivals thought he was naive and foolish at the time. They were wrong.

After a landslide election, Obama was elected to be president. As the successor of George W. Bush, Obama inherited two wars, an economic crisis and congressional gridlock.

Obama managed to end the war in Iraq and is on the verge of ending the war in Afghanistan. The president is still trying to get a stubborn Congress to pass legislation that could spark growth in the economy.

Passengers managed to force the terrorist to divert his plane from the intended target.

And of course, the president kept his promise. May 2011, the president announced to the world that the leader of al-Qaeda was killed by the United States Military Special Operatives in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Obama was really aggressive on disrupting al-Qaeda and its affiliates.

Republicans then started the drum brat of the Benghazi attack. It damaged Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she ran for president a second time. Republicans obsessed over Obama's handling of the attack and threatened impeachment for it.

September 11, 2012, the U.S. diplomatic mission in Cairo, Egypt was mobbed by protesters  apparently in response to an anti-Islamic online video known as Innocence of Muslims. A group scaled the embassy wall and tore down the American flag to replace it with a black Islamic flag. This incident (and the coinciding armed attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that was widely misreported as a reaction to the film) launched a series of worldwide demonstrations against the film outside diplomatic facilities of the United States and other Western countries. However, other underlying issues of discontent have fueled the protests in some countries. The protests that continued in the ensuing weeks also expanded to other Western-related locations, some of which turned violent, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries.

The protest lays down in the groundwork for a sneak attack to infiltrate the U.S. Embassy compound in Libyan by militants. They ended up killing four Americans which included J. Christopher Stevens, a longtime ally to the president.

Obama's political foes in the Republican Party wish Osama bin Laden was still alive. They refuse to credit him for giving the orders to take out the world's most wanted terrorist

Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri were both killed by U.S. forces.

The Republicans could never take responsibility for a tragedy. They'll blame the Democrats for every domestic or international incident whenever there's a Republican president. They scapegoated immigrants, Muslims and people who opposed war for being on the side of terrorists.

George W. Bush ignored the Richard Clarke warnings. He ignored the Bill Clinton memos. He wanted to chart his own goals. He should have been impeached for that.

The Republicans are too extreme. They are doused in the gasoline and are inflamed by culture wars, conspiracy theories and the lack of self awareness. They are shameless hypocrites with a need to "own the libs." It is very sad that we have came to the conclusion that America's democracy is in jeopardy of collapse. They will stop at nothing to undermine the country. Republicans are responsible for almost every  tragedy and instead of owning up to the tragedies, they want to rewrite it and blame everyone else for it,

Republicans claim that if it wasn't for Bill Clinton, the 9/11 attacks would of never happened. They claim that George W. Bush was responsible for taking down Osama bin Laden. To this day, they believe Barack Obama and Joe Biden are weak on the border, terrorism and are responsible for the crappy economy they inherited. 

President Joe Biden, former president Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris together. Rare.

Republicans place the blame of the Los Angeles/Rodney King riots, the Minneapolis/George Floyd riots, every war that doesn't go as planned, every mass shooting, every government shutdown, every man made disaster on the Democrats. Every wildfire, volcano, earthquake, tornado, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Maria is blamed the Democrats. They blame Democrats for crime and gun violence. They claim it was the Democrats most responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, mask mandates and closing businesses when it was a Republican president and most Republican governors who ordered shutdowns. 

In the minds of Republicans, George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump never done anything wrong!

Now as Israel is committing war crimes, an active genocide and literally meddling in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, I fear we could experience more events like this.

The U.S. and its support for Israel has made our country less credible. We cannot claim the world's stage with excuses of foreign countries committing international criminal acts when the U.S. is running cover for Israel. 

Now 23 years later our current president Joe Biden, former president Donald J. Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio senator J.D. Vance are honoring the memories of those lost on 9/11/2001 and 9/11/2012.

Once again, Harris, the Democratic nominee shook Trump's hand. Trump is the Republican nominee.

We will survive.

President Joe Biden ordered the killing of al-Zawahri in 2022. The former leader stayed in a luxury apartment in Kabul, Afghanistan. The death really shook al-Qaeda and they have no strong voices to radicalize.

Biden finally ended the war in Afghanistan and Republicans led the way to criticizing and blaming the president for the swifty evacuations and attack on 13 military members being killed by a suicide bomber.

A moment of clarity for all of us. 

Expect conservative outrage and literal ignorance of his predecessor not attending any since Biden defeated him.

Vice President Kamala Harris, First Lady Jill Biden, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, former president Barack Obama, former president George W. Bush and former president Bill Clinton will honor the victims of September 11th. 

Former vice president Mike Pence will likely honor it as well. 

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. George Helmy (D-NJ), New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore will be participating in 9/11 events.


Some Bad Work!

Donald J. Trump had a bad night.

Winners and losers of 2024.

Who won the night?

Springfield, Ohio 
Kamala Harris 
Israel
ABC News 
50 million viewers
Taylor Swift
Run Spot Run

The candidates both pivoted and didn't answer all the questions. What became the news was the former president malfunctioning. 

Former president Donald J. Trump had a bad night. It was as bad as President Joe Biden when he fumble during his first and only debate. Biden suspended his campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the nominee.

On Tuesday, the former president and vice president met in Philadelphia.

Harris extended her hand to the former president to shake. That right there assured the vice president won the night. Hillary Clinton was right. She told Harris that he is very sensitive and triggered. 

The far right claims it was a 3 on 1 but in reality, Trump didn't answer the questions, practically made a conspiracy theory about an Ohio city go viral, got angry with his debate opponent, pivoted to immigration constantly and never stayed on message.

"They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats," Trump said during an answer to a question about immigration. "They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."

Trump's answer was among the most extraordinary of the first 30 minutes of the debate: a former U.S. president spreading an internet rumor — one labeled by some of his critics as racist — in front of an audience of millions of Americans. The comment illustrated the rapid spread of misinformation in today's media ecosystem.

Get some hand sanitizer.

David Muir, the ABC News anchor co-moderating the debate, immediately fact-checked Trump's claims, saying that the city manager in Springfield, Ohio, told the network there had been no credible reports of pets being harmed, injured or abused by people in the city's immigrant community.

The junk food media saw this as the day Trump couldn't seal the deal.

I laughed when Trump went to attacking Harris as being a Marxist.

Laughed when he mentioned Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters and Sean "Softball" Hannity as sources to his latest conspiracy theories.

Laughed when he denied he lost the election.

Fell out of my seat when he said they're eating pets. 

I said damn, when Harris told viewers to go to a MAGA rally and watch him go on and on.

She said that people are going to get bored and leave his events. 

Harris didn't answer the "are you better off" question. She quickled pivoted and baited Trump to do his usual "country going down hill" rhetoric. 

It was a bad night for the Trumpster.




Tyreek Hill Dragged Out In Record Speed!

Even a NFL player can get dragged out by the neck.

This did not make it to the debate.

Miami Dolphins and the NFL reacted to Sunday's incident involving wide receiver Tyreek Hill being pulled out of his Lamborghini and violently detained by Miami-Dade Police.

All over a speeding violation.

The U.S. law enforcement agencies get trained by Israel. That stuff must come to an end.

This is all tactics by Israelis. They done stuff like this to Palestinians. They share this stuff with police unions and it is unethical and practically dangerous.

On September 8, 2024, hours before the Miami Dolphins were set to begin their season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hill was pulled over by officers outside of the Dolphins stadium while he was on his way to the game. Video, which was filmed by fans, was uploaded to social media and instantly made national news. The video showed Hill being detained in handcuffs and forced to the ground by three officers who were on top of him holding him down. Hill claimed in a statement following the game that he was accused of speeding and reckless driving and had no idea why the situation escalated like it did. “I wasn’t disrespectful because my mom didn’t raise me that way. Didn’t cuss. Didn’t do none of that. So like I said, I’m still trying to figure it out, man." Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, said Hill wasn't being cooperative and that he was “redirected” to the ground after refusing to sit when he was briefly detained. Julius B. Collins, Hill's attorney, said that the traffic stop escalated when Hill gave officers his license and rolled his window back up. “One of the officers then knocked on Mr. Hill’s driver side window and advised Mr. Hill to keep his window rolled down otherwise he was going to get him out of the car" and that officers followed policy in handcuffing Hill. "Mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative with the officers on the scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, placed Mr. Hill in handcuffs. Mr. Hill, still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore redirected to the ground. Once the situation was sorted out within a few minutes, Mr. Hill was issued two traffic citations and was free to leave” Stahl said.

Hill's teammate, Calais Campbell, who was also on his way to the game, stopped and got involved in an attempt to de-escalate the sitution. Campbell got out of his car with his hands up above his head and approached the scene, informing officers that he was a friend of Hill's. He remained at the scene to “support” Hill after he said officers asked him to leave. Police later placed him in handcuffs for “disobeying a direct order" by being too close. “They were trying to yank him down to the ground. I saw them kick him and pull him down ... I feel like one officer was pushing on his head” Campbell said to ESPN. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke on the incident saying “I was pleased to see he did well in the game and it was good for the team, what happened on the field. I have confidence in agencies throughout this state that they want to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and if for some reason that wasn’t followed here I know they will make that clear. But I’ll let that investigation take place.” One of the officers involved was placed on administrative leave following the incident and pending an internal investigation. Miami-Dade Police director Stephanie Daniels told the Miami Herald that the decision to place the officer on leave came after a review of the body camera footage from the roadside incident.

Hill does a little trolling. 

Despite the incident, Hill played in that afternoon's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he finished with seven catches for 130 yards and one touchdown in a 20–17 win.

The far right are calling out Hill for not complying. The left is retorting to Ashli Babbitt whenever they resort to police encounters. Babbitt did not comply and got shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd. He did everything to protect members of Congress during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.

Hill has some controveries in the past but that is irrelevant. What the police did was an overreaction to a situation. It should just being a citation and on your way. But how these morons go from 0 to 100, it proves that many of cops are trigger happy.

Moving Swifties!

Swifties got Kamala's back.

The world's biggest pop star endorsed Kamala Harris. Uh oh, the Swifties for Kamala managed to get the Tay endorsement.

Well at least former president Donald J. Trump has DaBaby, Rob Schneider, AfroMan, Anuel A.A., Hulk Hogan, Roseanne Barr, Amber Rose, Lil Wayne, IcewearVezzo and Kodak Black.

Taylor Swift during the ABC News Debate endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. It will certainly rile up the far right and certainly give the additional money boast to Harris and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the vice presidential nominee.

This is huge. Swift on Tuesday night made this endorsement after the high-stakes debate with former President Donald J. Trump, calling the Democratic nominee a "steady-handed, gifted leader."

"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election," Swift said in a post on Instagram to her more than 283 million followers. "I’m voting for @kamalaharris  because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."

Swift went on to say that she was "heartened and impressed" by Harris' selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, praising him as a champion of "LGBTQ+ rights, IVF and a woman's right to own her body for decades."

"I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice," the Grammy-winning artist added. "Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story."

Swift, 34, signed her post "Childless Cat Lady" — a reference to language used by Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), to describe women who do not have kids. Swift included a photo of herself holding her cat, Benjamin Button, who has graced the cover of Time magazine with the singer.

Swift's endorsement came as a surprise to the Harris campaign, two campaign officials told NBC News. The campaign views the singer's backing as part of a "decisive victory" for the vice president on the debate stage and speaks to her ability to attract support, one of the officials said.

The endorsement had been widely anticipated. Swift threw her support behind President Joe Biden and Harris during the 2020 presidential election. Swift allowed the Biden-Harris campaign to use her song “Only the Young” in an advertisement during the 2020 cycle.

Swift once shied away from weighing in on American politics. But with the release of her documentary "Miss Americana" in 2020, she became more vocal. The movie chronicled her behind-the-scenes fight to publicly denounce Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., then a member of the House. She endorsed Blackburn's Senate opponent, Phil Bredesen.

Blackburn ultimately won the race, but Swift's post on Instagram encouraging people to register to vote activated waves of young people, Vote.org said at the time.

In November, a national NBC News poll found 40% of registered voters had positive views of Swift, while 16% had negative views. A majority of Democrats (53%) viewed her positively, while 28% of Republicans said the same.

In the Instagram post, Swift also criticized social media users who have circulated images generated by artificial intelligence falsely stating that she had endorsed the Trump-Vance ticket. Trump shared a series of those images on his Truth Social platform.

"Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation," she said. "It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth."

The Black woman side eye.

The Big Apple Bite: Eric Adams And Company Under Federal Watch!

When Law & Order comes to real life.

America's largest city mayor is under federal watch.

New York City mayor Eric Adams faces a lot of problems these days. The Zionists are turning on him. See Israel has spies everywhere and they have people who snitch to the feds.

Jonathan Greenblatt and his ADL associates have freely spied on big tech, city mayors and college professors. His mission is get them fired, jailed and deported if they criticize Israel or Zionism.

The FBI conducted searches at the homes of two of New York City Mayor Eric Adams' closest aides on Thursday, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

The Hamilton Heights home of First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, who is engaged to Schools Chancellor David Banks, and the Hollis, Queens, home of Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks, were searched as part of an ongoing investigation, the sources said.

"Investigators have not indicated to us the mayor or his staff are targets of any investigation," the mayor's chief counsel, Lisa Zornberg, said in a statement. "As a former member of law enforcement, the mayor has repeatedly made clear that all members of the team need to follow the law."

The FBI declined to comment. A spokesman for the US Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York also declined to comment.

The FBI seized evidence, including electronics, as part of the searches, according to sources. No charges have been filed.

In addition to the searches at the homes of Wright and Banks, which sources said began Wednesday morning, federal investigators have subpoenaed cell phones belonging to New York Police Commissioner Edward Caban and Tim Pearson, a close adviser to Adams, the sources said.

"The Department is aware of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York involving members of service. The Department is fully cooperating in the investigation," an NYPD spokesman said, referring additional questions to the U.S. Attorney's Office, which declined to comment.

Four high-ranking NYPD officials, including Caban, received subpoenas for their cell phones. Three others in the NYPD received similar subpoenas. All complied and turned over their phones, according to sources.

The subpoenas are part of the same investigation that sent the FBI to search homes belonging to Wright and Banks, the sources said.

Wright and Banks are the highest-ranking Adams administration officials who have had their homes searched by federal investigators.

In 2014, Banks was investigated by federal authorities as part of a separate investigation into NYPD corruption. He was named an unindicted coconspirator in that probe but was never charged. He resigned as chief of department, the highest ranking uniformed position.

Federal officials have previously searched the homes of Brianna Suggs, the mayor’s top campaign fundraiser; Rana Abbasova, his international affairs aide; and Winnie Greco, a special adviser to the mayor and director of Asian affairs.

A source familiar with the matter said Thursday's searches do not appear to be related to the investigation into whether Adams accepted donations from Turkey in exchange for official favors.

Turkey is a country that is critical of Israel and skeptical of NATO's involvement in aiding Ukraine with its war against Russia. Turkey has called for sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel.

Bob Menendez, former independent New Jersey senator was convicted for accepting foreign bribes from Turkey and Egypt. 

Donald J. Trump is under federal watch for allegedly accepting donations from Eygpt. 

Egypt is a country critical of Israel too. 

Israel has openly gave foreign donations to American lawmakers through AIPAC.

Adams has gotten support from AIPAC in the past.

Adams is a feverent supporter of Israel as well as most of the state of New York's U.S. Representatives (including Minority Leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)), its senators; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Debate Night!

Tonight, former president Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will do their likely only presidential debate on ABC News. President Joe Biden suspended his reelection bid after he was forced out by party leaders after a disappointing debate performance in June.

The high stakes event expected to be viewed by millions of Americans and a key sliver of undecided voters.

Harris' momentum -- after her unusual rise as the Democrats' nominee shot her into a neck-and-neck race -- has now stalled, making the head-to-head matchup an opportunity to get that started again -- If she can adequately make the argument for her own candidacy and cast Trump as unfit for another term.

Trump, meanwhile, has struggled to find a way to consistently and effectively attack his new opponent but has remained highly competitive, thanks to a large base of immovable supporters and the broad swath of Americans who already have fixed views of him. Tuesday's debate offers him an opportunity to solidify his support while painting Harris in a negative light to an electorate that has less cemented perceptions of her.

Who's gonna win?

As it stands, it's a neck-and-neck race. Harris would like a moment that revives her momentum, which jolted her into contention but now is stalled; Trump would like a moment to erase some of the gains Harris has made and actually reverse her improved poll numbers.

In order to qualify for the September 10 ABC debate, presidential candidates need to meet the following criteria:

Be constitutionally eligible to hold the presidency

File with the Federal Election Commission

Appear on a sufficient number of ballots to have a mathematical possibility of winning a majority vote in the Electoral College

Agree to the rules of the debate

Have a level of support of at least 15% in four national public polls of registered or likely voters selected by ABC, with such polls dating between August 1 and September 3, 2024.

Harris and Trump were invited to the debate in early August.

Five polls met ABC's criteria for inclusion, with Harris and Trump meeting the 15% threshold in every poll.
