Yahya Sinwar Passed Away!

Martyrdom. Yahya Sinwar died like a solider and Benjamin Netanyahu is a punk sissy.

The Israeli regime confirms that they killed Hamas top leader Yahya Sinwar.

He was not in tunnels, he was not in a luxury home, he was not in exile and he was not hiding around human shields. He fought to his final breath.

He was a Palestinian resistance fighter and politician who served as the de facto leader of Hamas. He was the chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau from August 2024 and the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip from February 2017 until his death, succeeding Ismail Haniyeh in both roles. Born in October 1962, Sinwar was born in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in Egyptian-ruled Gaza in 1962 to a family who had been expelled or fled from Majdal 'Asqalan (modern Ashkelon) during the 1948 Palestine War. He finished his studies at the Islamic University of Gaza, where he received a bachelor's degree in Arabic studies. For orchestrating the abduction and killing of four Palestinians he considered to be collaborators and two Israeli soldiers in 1989, Sinwar was sentenced to four life sentences by Israel, of which he served 22 years until his release among 1,026 others in a 2011 prisoner exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. During his time in prison, Sinwar continued to coordinate the execution of Palestinians suspected of collaboration with Israel and planned the abduction of Israeli soldiers. In 2004 he received medical treatment from Israeli surgeons at Soroka Medical Center for a life-threatening brain tumor. Sinwar was one of the co-founders of the security apparatus of Hamas.

The arrogance of the Israeli regime.

In 2017, Sinwar was elected as the leader of Hamas in Gaza and claimed to pursue 'peaceful, popular resistance' the following year, supporting the 2018–2019 Gaza border protests, though he is also reported to have been dedicated to eradicating Israel and is said to have seen military confrontation as the only path to "liberating Palestine", saying that this would be achieved "by force, not negotiations". He also developed strong ties with Iran. Re-elected as Hamas leader in 2021, Sinwar survived an assassination attempt by Israel that same year. He is widely regarded as the mastermind behind the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel in 2023. The group had been planning the attack for two years, with Sinwar seeking to involve Hezbollah and Iran, while avoiding confrontations to maintain the element of surprise.

Hamas and the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades have been designated terrorist organisations by the United States, the European Union, and other countries and, in September 2015, Sinwar was specifically designated a terrorist by the United States government. In May 2024, Karim Khan, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, announced his intention to apply for an arrest warrant for Sinwar for war crimes and crimes against humanity, as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine. 

Sinwar was killed October 2024, during a firefight with the Israeli military. But in reality, Israel used relentless airstrikes. They literally edit on Wikipedia. They push propaganda on X and Facebook. They have spies within the ADL and AIPAC trying to gather information on people who oppose Isrsel.

Israel uses genocidal and colonialist rhetoric to describe Muslims, Arabs and people who oppose the country. 

The country uses victimhood and oppressive behavior at the same time.

Battered Yahya Sinwar still fought to the end.

Sinwar was killed days before his birthday. He was 61.

He was inside a home in Gaza when the regime dropped bombs on everything.

The U.S. congratulated Israel on its success of killing Sinwar. Now they are urging the regime to wrap it up. Israel isn't stopping. 

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have backed Israel regardless. But their frustration with the regime and its agenda to stop Hamas and Hezbollah has boiled to a point. The U.S. gave Israel an ultimatum.

The Logan Act is not enacted when it comes to Israel. 

Israel has deliberately denied humanitarian aid. It has killed humanitarian aid workers and Americans. Biden says he is outraged but not doing anything to stop Israel from engaging its invasions and genocidal extremism.

The resistance has exposed how Israel operates and the world appears to be more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Israel is trying to desperately change the narrative by claiming that they are the only thing that is stopping terrorism.

The real terrorists is Israel and their Jewish white supremacist regime.

Israel is an apartheid ethnostate. It stole land, segregated indigenous communities, instigate conflicts, meddle in U.S. and British elections, invaded five sovereign nations and illegally targeted individuals.

While no one in the United States knew who Sinwar was, Israel propped him up like he was Osama bin Laden. Sinwar was a senior political figure with Hamas.

He was involved in the ceasefire talks with Qatar. 

Yahya Sinwar was the Hamas leader who Israeli officials said was the main architect of the group’s Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel and who the country’s military has been chasing for more than a year. 

It’s been believed that Sinwar, who was in charge of day-to-day operations in Gaza prior to the Oct. 7 attack, was able to escape Israel Defense Forces by using Hamas’ complex tunnel system in the Palestinian enclave. After the Oct. 7 attack, a former IDF spokesperson described him as a “dead man walking” as the military vowed to eliminate him. 

Israel is propagating Sinwar's death like Osama bin Laden.

Sinwar joined Hamas after it was founded in 1987, gaining a reputation for brutality after he reportedly helped to form the militant group’s internal security force, according a profile of him by European Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sinwar’s death could mark “the beginning of the end” of the war in Gaza. Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog commended the country's military and security forces for killing Sinwar, whom he described as the mastermind behind years of "heinous acts of terrorism against Israeli civilians."

Sinwar dedicated his life to bloodshed and "destabilizing the Middle East," Herzog wrote on X.

"Now, more than ever, we must act in every way possible to bring back the 101 hostages who are still being held in horrific conditions by Hamas terrorists in Gaza," Herzog said.

Sinwar married Samar Muhammad Abu Zamar in 21 November 2011, who is 18 years younger than him, and has three children. The oldest one is Ibrahim Yahya, hence the name Abu Ibrahim as his kunya. His wife holds a master's degree in theology from the Islamic University of Gaza.

Biden's allies are evil.

In addition to his native Arabic, Sinwar spoke Hebrew, which he learned during his imprisonment, along with insights into Israeli culture.

Sinwar was a hafiz, meaning that he had completely memorized the Quran.

The Israeli Defense Force and the Shin Bet said they were looking into whether Sinwar was among three individuals killed in an operation in Gaza that had taken place the previous day, though neither Israel or Hamas made any official confirmation. IDF soldiers who were investigating a strike on Hamas members found a body with striking resemblance to Sinwar and a DNA sample was collected. the body of Sinwar was found dressed in military fatigues, clad in a kuffiyeh and grasping an AK-47, Additional items found on his person included 40,000 NIS in cash, a lighter and an UNRWA employee ID. According to Kan radio, his associates were found with cash, weapons and fake IDs.

Of course, Israel is known for planting evidence and exaggerating how they captured their targets. I finding it quite interesting that Sinwar who never left Gaza has all these props and cash when he was starving like every Palestinian in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli operatives from Shin Bet are notorious for blending in. Just like the Mossad when they do illegal target kills.

The IDF confirmed through DNA analysis that Sinwar had been killed a day earlier in Gaza during a firefight with the IDF. Israel Police said in a statement that the body matched Sinwar's dental records and fingerprints. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the killing of Sinwar "is not the end of the war in Gaza." Netanyahu declared that Sinwar's death marked the beginning of a new era without Hamas's rule over Gaza, urging Gazans to seize the opportunity to break free from its tyranny, and adding that those holding hostages will be spared if they surrender and release them.

Benzino: No Neck And No Allegations! 🙉🙈🙊

Benzino Dog.

Today is the birthday of iconic rapper Eminem. I wanted to wish Marshall Mathers a great birthday and all the best.

No Neck and No Allegations! 🤮🤮🤮

No Neck and No All A Gay Sins!

See I made a word play.

Raymond Edward Scott, 59 returns to social media and the gay allegations continue. Knowing his buddy Sean "Puffy" Combs is in federal custody, the former media mogul will be exposed. There are already allegations that Stevie J had slept with numerous male sex workers and Scott slept with his blood niece and Stevie J's daughter.

Scott defends R. Kelly and Combs. That should automatically be a red flag for any woman or man who gets comfortable associating with Scott.

Since I was going to address Em in earlier posts, I just wanted to bring in the only nuisance to the legendary rapper. 

Em had another platinum album, planning a tour soon and preparing to see his daughter become a mother.

Media personality Hallie Jade Mathers appeared in Eminem's video "Temporary" to acknowledge her pregnancy.

Congratulations to the social media personality and her husband.

I was not planning on doing it but I am now. 

Raymond Scott is back.

The former rapper and media mogul is the father of well known rapper/model Coi Leray. 

Scott was known as Benzino. He is the arch nemesis of Em.

Scott has a longstanding feud with the rapper and he has spent over 20 years trying to "expose" Em as a racist who uses his white privilege (not rhyming skills) to dominate hip-hop. 

Em has labeled Scott the "worst rapper in the world."

As soon as Em revealed he was a grandfather, Scott hopped on social media to congratulate him. It is another moment of bipolar behavior, Scott offers a truce.

Scott took the moment as an opportunity to set aside his more than 20-year beef with the Detroit icon and offered his congratulations to Em and his family. He also pointed out the fact that on the chorus for Eminem's scathing 2002 diss track "Nail in the Coffin," which is aimed solely at Scott, Em referred to the former rapper as a grandfather.

Coi Leray is ashamed of her dad. She strongly believes that his feuds are ruining her opportunity to grow as a rapper and model.

"Somebody found out that they're going to be a grandfather," Scott explains in the video below. "The irony is, you know, even though he said, 'Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap,' I still want to send out a congratulations to Eminem and his daughter Hailie on the news that she is about to give birth and he's about to be a grandad."

At that point in the IG Live, Scott offered an olive branch to Eminem an assured his viewers he was being genuine. "I think this is a good time, man, to put this behind us and let's try to enjoy life and try to make some type of statement right now," he added. "I'm just not doing this for no joke or nothin'. I truly want to congratulate him and his daughter."

The winners and losers of 2024.

I feel sorry for Coi LeRay. Her legacy is tarnished because of her father's constant need to be in the spotlight. Scott is no longer a rapper or even a reality television star. He is a washed up celebrity who ruined his career feuding with Eminem. Anything he does is in the words of Eminem, "speaking from the grave."

Shout out to The Evolve, Wack 100, Crypt, Cliff Beats, NoLifeShaq, Aayan X, N.O.R.E., DJ EFN, The Danza Project, 50 Cent and all the podcasters on YouTube. These podcasters are the reasons to why I address the crisis with Scott. It has put a real dent in Coi Leray.

  79. He has no neck.
  80. He has no fame.

It is part of an ongoing feud that has been going on for over 20 years. It is the only thing memorable about him. Besides the reality series, "Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta", Scott was the former co-owner of The Source Magazine and Hip-Hop Weekly.

He started a feud with Em to promote his album in 2002. Scott accused Em of being a "culture vulture" and a "Rap Elvis." Eminem is white and probably the most successful rappers because of his rhyming skills, not his race. Em released two devastating disses at Scott and ruined his rap career.

Scott in turn, used The Source Magazine as a weapon to trash Em. He tried to brand Em a racist after he made a demo tape dissing a Black woman. The song was blocked by Em and Scott ignored the injunction and released the single in full. Em sued the magazine and its founder Dave Mays, a white business executive and Scott's rap manager at the time. The Source ended up wasting all its money and going into bankruptcy. The magazine executives fired Mays and Scott after the feud. Mays ended up doing other ventures and Scott ended up going broke. Mays helped Scott get on reality television with Stevie J. He ended up ruining that and as of today, Scott has struggled. 

Just to make this clear, Scott has tendencies to be bipolar, suicidal, violent and mentally unstable when he is under the influence of drugs and alcohol. So here the number for people dealing with mental illness and has suicidal tendencies.

Scott said that no one in the hood plays Eminem's music. He said Em's music is trailer trash and his fans voted for Donald J. Trump. He said thinks Em rhymes "masturbater in the elevator" whenever he's on the mic.

Tell me: 

Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Benzino song (other than the most recent disses)? 

Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?

Let me make this clear. If you believe your street credibility leads to you being arrested, financially struggling, estranged from your family, constantly angry at people, always trying win favor for unruly behavior; it's not the streets, it's you.

Raymond Scott, please get some mental health treatment. Try to repair the broken relationship with Coi and Zino. Stop capping. Act your fucking age. Stop obsessing with Eminem. 

Your behavior is a totally a prediction of being a stan.

October Surprise: Skin A Fox!

Harris had to answer questions from a condescending Baier.

Vote.

Vote like your life depends on it.

Former president Donald J. Trump used to appear on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC and other networks before he ran for president. He appeared on cable news for some time. But as criticism grew, Trump ended up going to save places like Fox, Newsmax and Right Side Broadcasting. He hardly goes to the cable outlets with exception to NewsNation.

Since her U.S. Senate and Vice President of the United States bids, Kamala Harris avoided Fox. The Democrats treated Fox as an operational arm of the Republican Party. The network has a reputation of distorting the facts and making controversy where there is none. It is a propaganda machine and one of the reasons for the Jan. 6 Attack. 

Harris went to Fox for her first as vice president and Democratic presidential candidate. 

If Harris is able to appear on a network hostile towards her, why can't Trump?

He rather go to safe outlets like Harris Faulkner or Sean "Softball" Hannity's carnival of bullshit.

Harris agreed to the Fox debate. Trump said there's no need for them.

Trump has shown cognitive decline. His rhetoric and oftentimes rambling has brought question to his age and ability to handle the pressure.

Again, the reason why this election is this close.... Israel.

Right off the bat, Bret Baier was interrupting Harris. 

He tried to bait her with stupid white nationalist questions like immigration and her remarks on MAGAland and Trump.

The 30 minutes showed how under a hostile environment, Harris can handle the job pretty damn well. He was trying to make her the angry Black woman.

It failed.

Liam Payne Passed Away!

Liam Payne died in a fall.
Former One Direction frontman dies from a fall in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

English singer Liam Payne, 31, whose chart-topping British boy band generated a global following of swooning fans, was found dead Wednesday after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, local officials said.

Foul play?

Buenos Aires police said in a statement that Payne fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in the trendy Palermo neighborhood of Argentina’s capital, resulting in “extremely serious injuries.” Medics confirmed his death on the spot, the statement said.

Pablo Policicchio, the communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, said in a statement to The Associated Press that Payne “had jumped from the balcony of his room.” Police rushed to the hotel in response to an emergency call just after 5 p.m. local time, he said, warning of an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

The hotel manager can be heard on a 911 call obtained by the AP saying they had “a guest who is overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol ... He’s destroying the entire room and, well, we need you to send someone, please.” The manager’s voice became more anxious as the call went on, noting the room had a balcony.

Alberto Crescenti, head of the state emergency medical system, told Argentina’s Todo Noticias TV channel that authorities were investigating the circumstances of his death and conducting an autopsy.


Payne had been vocal about struggling with alcoholism, posting a video in July 2023 to his YouTube channel where he said he had been sober for six months after receiving treatment. Representatives for Payne did not immediately return emails and calls.

Dozens of One Direction fans flocked from across Buenos Aires to the Casa Sur Hotel after the news broke, forming lines that spilled into the cordoned-off street outside the hotel where police stood sentinel. Forensic investigators were seen exiting the hotel, from where Payne’s body was removed around three hours after the fall. Young women filming with their cellphones expressed shock and heartbreak as a makeshift memorial with rows of candles and bouquets quickly grew outside the hotel.

“I didn’t think he was going to die so young,” 21-year-old Isabella Milesi told the AP.

Payne was one of five members of One Direction, which formed when they each auditioned for the British singing competition series “The X Factor” in 2010, two years after Payne’s first attempt to get on the show. At 16 the second time around, Payne sang Michael Bublé’s version of “Cry Me a River,” appearing nervous at the start but warming up with the audience’s cheers and applause.

After each singer failed to make it through the competition as solo acts, Simon Cowell and his fellow judges combined Payne, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson into what would become one of the most successful boy bands — even though they lost the competition.

Each member had their own persona, with Payne — who hailed from Wolverhampton, a city in the West Midlands region of England — being known as the responsible one. The band became known for their pop sound and romantic hits like “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Night Changes” and “Story of My Life.” Payne had prominent solos on songs including “Stole My Heart” and “Change Your Ticket,” co-writing several of the band’s hits. They had six Top 10 hits on the Billboard charts by the time they disbanded in 2016 and a highly loyal fan base, known as “Directioners,” many of whom were teen girls.

“I’ve always loved One Direction since I was little,” said 18-year-old Juana Relh, another fan outside Payne’s hotel. “To see that he died and that there will never be another reunion of the boys is unbelievable, it kills me.”

With his meteoric rise to fame, Payne had said that it took some time to adjust to the public eye.

“I don’t think you can ever deal with that, it’s all a bit crazy for us to see that people get in that sort of state of mind about us and what we do,” he said in a 2013 interview with the AP after recounting an experience where a fan was in a state of shock upon meeting him.

After the group’s dissolution, Payne — like each of his erstwhile bandmates — pursued a solo career, shifting toward EDM and hip-hop. His 2017 single “Strip That Down,” featuring Quavo, reached the Billboard Top 10, and stayed on the charts for several months. He put out an album “LP1” in 2019, and his last release — a single called “Teardrops” — was released in March.

Payne had a 7-year-old son, Bear Grey Payne, with his former girlfriend, the musician Cheryl who was known as Cheryl Cole when she performed with Girls Aloud. She was an “X Factor” judge during One Direction’s season, although their relationship began years later. Payne was previously engaged to Maya Henry, from August 2020 to early 2022. Henry released a novel earlier this year that she said was based on their relationship.

In addition to his son, he is survived by his parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, and his two older sisters, Ruth and Nicola.

Trump Country!

This is what voting for Trump offers.

There is a video that is circulating on TikTok and X of a Black man being accosted by a bunch of white people in a Sarasota, Florida neighborhood. One of the people pulled out a firearm when he refused to answer their questions.

This what Black MAGAland is voting for. More chaos.

It's easy to grift off the tragedy of Black men. It's easy for MAGAland to exploit the criminality of Black men, the Black fatherless homes, the Barack Obama "did nothing for Blacks" mantra, the "Kamala Harris ain't Black" mantra and the Democrat plantation talking point.

Election is less than three weeks away.

Vote.

Vote like your life defends on it.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Tim Walz.

Yeah, Israel is the biggest issue I have with her and President Joe Biden but given that former president Donald J. Trump and Ohio senator J.D. Vance have no plans. Only grievances and distractions. It is time to move past the Trump MAGAland noise.

Gov. Ron DeSantis made the dog whistle remarks about looting after a hurricane. He said that looting will not be tolerated in an open carry state.

He was signaling that Blacks would loot after a hurricane. It is quite clear that DeSantis wanted to keep the "law and order" mantra up.

Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton destroyed Florida neighborhoods. The estimated amount of death for both storms is 1,600. 

A Sarasota mother’s viral video has sparked outrage after she alleged a group of older white men racially profiled and followed her Black son just one day after Hurricane Milton made landfall. The video has been shared widely on TikTok and Facebook, now with more than 3 million views.
Responses from residents concerned about the incident have continued to grow since the video was first posted by the young man's mother, Whitney Portela.

In the one-minute video clip, Portela's son, a Black man, can be seen being followed down a street in a neighborhood by at least three men — at least one of the men had been following Portela's son in a vehicle for several minutes, she says in her Facebook post.

The Facebook video has surpassed 10,000 views in 24 hours grabbing the attention of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.

The agency posted on Facebook on Tuesday evening that it was investigating the complaint filed by the young man's mother.

"The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is aware of a video circulating on various social media platforms of an incident that occurred in the Skye Ranch neighborhood on Thursday, Oct. 10. Detectives have been assigned and are actively locating and interviewing witnesses in what appears to be an altercation involving neighbors and a male subject who was recording himself as he was walking. The Sheriff’s Office takes these matters seriously and will fully investigate any allegations of criminal activity," the SCSO post reads.

October Surprise: Kamala Brings The Black Men A Plan!

Vice President Kamala Harris released her plan to help Black men. She also goes to Roland Martin, All The Smoke and The Breakfast Club to detail her proposals.

Even the Detroit rapper/activist Icewear Vezzo appeared at The Breakfast Club town hall.

He is a supporter of former president Donald J. Trump.

The Democratic nominee is trying to court Black men to Support her. 

Former president Barack Obama told a real truth. Some of the brothas are willing to support a man who is the very definition of white privilege. A man who is a convicted felon. A man who will sell gold tennis shoes, NFTs, bibles and his image of him pumping his fist after he was grazed in his ear. A man who bases his whole campaign on gaslighting, racial politics, grievances and political revenge.

Harris is an African American vice president. She is also the first woman to hold this title. 

Harris is the first African American, Asian American, woman, person of color to be the vice president. She is the second woman and first woman of color to be the presidential nominee. If elected, she will be the first woman and second African American president.

Harris released her plan to help Black America (Black men)

  • Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable of up to $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs and others who have historically faced barriers to starting a new business or growing an existing business, in partnership with trusted organizations like mission-driven lenders and banks with a proven commitment to their communities.
  • Harris is proposing a new partnership between the Small Business Administration andtrusted partners on the ground to provide loans that are forgivable of up to $20,000 to entrepreneurs who have a good idea but don’t have the resources, connections, or access to capital to get their business off the ground, as well as entrepreneurs locating in underserved communities. This will help Black men and other Americans start or grow a business in their community when they don’t have the startup capital.
  • Expanding access to bank accounts and lending to help Black men build wealth.
  • Enabling Black men who hold digital assets to benefit from financial innovation.
  • Breaking down unfair and unnecessary barriers to employment for Black men. 
  • Enabling Black men and other workers to profit when company executives profit.
  • Expanding pathways for Black men to good-paying jobs, whether or not they have a college degree. 
  • Providing more pathways for Black men to become teachers and school leaders.
  • Invest in grant programs for mentorship and leadership development. 
  • Providing financial support to financially stressed farmers and ranchers—including Black farmers and ranchers.
  • Providing Black men and their families with reliable, low-cost internet access.
  • Relieving the burden of medical debt, so Black men can take advantage of opportunities to build wealth and start businesses.
  • Revitalizing competition in food and groceries and enacting the first-ever federal ban on corporate price-gouging—benefitting Black families.
  • Lowering rent.
  • More than tripling the number of new first-time Black homeowners each year by the end of her first term through her housing plan.
  • Fighting to end racial bias in home appraisals that have lowered home values for Black men and Black Americans.
  • Helping reduce costs for Black men with children through tax cuts and affordable child care.
  • Helping Black men provide care for their aging parents.
  • Cutting taxes for Black men in lower-wage jobs by increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit maximum to $1,500.
  • Launch a National Health Equity Initiative for Black Men.
  • Increase investments in HBCU and MSI medical schools and health care programs.
  • Protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act.
  • Keep health insurance premiums down.
  • Protect access to clean air and clean water. 
  • Break down unjust legal barriers that hold Black men and other Americans back by legalizing marijuana nationally.
  • Build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
  • Invest in proven Community Violence Intervention programs.
  • Protect the right to vote.
Harris announced a plan on Monday to give Black men more economic opportunities and other chances to thrive as she works to energize a key voting bloc that has Democrats concerned about a lack of enthusiasm.

Harris’ plan includes providing forgivable business loans for Black entrepreneurs, creating more apprenticeships and studying sickle cell and other diseases that disproportionately affect African American men.

Harris already has said she supports legalizing marijuana and her plan calls for working to ensure that Black men have opportunities to participate as a “national cannabis industry takes shape.” She also is calling for better regulating cryptocurrency to protect Black men and others who invest in digital assets.

The vice president’s “opportunity agenda for Black men” is meant to invigorate African American males at a moment when there are fears some may sit out the election rather than vote for Harris or her opponent, Trump.

The vice president unveiled the plan as she visited Erie, Pennsylvania, where she stopped by LegendErie Records and Coffee House, a Black-owned small business, for a conversation with Black men from the area.

The business, opened just five weeks ago, is the project of Ishmael and Allana Trainor, a married couple of Erie natives who returned to their hometown after living for years in Arizona.


Later, Harris held a campaign rally in the northwest Pennsylvania city, where she pilloried Trump for suggesting in a weekend Fox News interview that the U.S. military may need to be deployed to quell an “enemy from within” if Election Day is disturbed by agitators.

Her push comes after former President Barack Obama suggested last week that some Black men “aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.”

The Harris campaign also has been working to increase support among other male voting blocs, including Hispanics, by founding the group “Hombres con Harris,” Spanish for “Men with Harris.” The latest policy rollout is notable because it comes with the stated purpose of motivating Black men to vote mere weeks before Election Day.

As her campaign has done with the “Hombres” group, Harris’ team plans to organize gender-specific gatherings. Those include “Black Men Huddle Up” events in battleground states featuring African American male celebrities for things like watch parties for NFL and NCAA football games. The campaign says it also plans new testimonial ads in battleground states that feature local Black male voices.

Cedric Richmond, co-chair of the Harris campaign and a former Louisiana congressman who is Black, said Harris wants to build an economy “where Black men are equipped with the tools to thrive: to buy a home, provide for our families, start a business and build wealth.”

Black Americans strongly supported Joe Biden when he beat Trump in 2020. Harris advisers say they are less worried about losing large percentages of Black male support to the former president than that some will choose not to turn out at all.

Trump, too, has stepped up efforts to win over Black and Hispanic voters of both genders. He has held roundtables with Black entrepreneurs in swing states and will sit for a townhall sponsored by Spanish-language Univision this week. He also has sought to openly stoke racial divisions, repeatedly suggesting that immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally are taking jobs from Black and Hispanic Americans.

Harris’ new round of proposals includes a promise that, if elected, she will help distribute 1 million loans of up to $20,000 that can be fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others who have strong ideas to start businesses. The loans would come via new partnerships between the Small Business Administration and community leaders and banks “with a proven commitment to their communities,” her campaign says.

The vice president also wants to offer federal incentives to encourage more African American men to train to be teachers, citing statistics that Black males made up only a bit more than 1% of the nation’s public school teaching ranks in 2020-21, according to data from the National Teacher and Principal Survey.

Harris also is pledging to expand existing federal programs that forgive some educational loans for public service to further encourage more Black male teachers. She also wants to use organizations like the National Urban League, local governments and the private sector to expand apprenticeships and credentialing opportunities in Black communities.

The vice president’s advisers have been urging her to talk more about cryptocurrency as a way to appeal to male voters. Her campaign said that as president, Harris will back a regulatory framework meant to better protect investors in cryptocurrency and other digital assets, which are popular with Black men.

Harris also promised to create a national initiative to better fund efforts to detect, research and combat sickle cell disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, mental health challenges and other health issues that disproportionately affect Black men.

A recent poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found about 7 in 10 Black voters had a favorable view of Harris and preferred her leadership to that of Trump on major policy issues including the economy, health care, abortion, immigration and the war between Israel and Hamas. There was little difference in support for Harris between Black men and Black women.

October Surprise: The Town Hall That Wasn't!

It's almost over.

Why is South Dakota governor Kristi Noem in Pennsylvania?

Shouldn't she be spending her time trying to work on the drought and her broken relationship with the tribal communities?

Former president Donald J. Trump had a town hall that didn't last more than 30 minutes.

The motherfucker couldn't answer questions without pivoting to his biggest grievances.

The Republicans sunk the James Lankford bill to combat immigration. Lankford, the Republican senator from Oklahoma was censured for this.

Trump's town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania, about 20 miles outside Philadelphia, was abruptly cut short on Monday evening after two attendees needed medical attention, and then took an unusual turn after they were taken from the venue.

Trump was fielding questions from voters, with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem moderating, when a man in the crowd apparently fainted about 30 minutes into the session. 

"That looks a little bit bad," Trump said as a stretcher was brought into the site. 

While the man was being treated, the Q&A stopped, and during the pause, Trump asked his staff backstage to "work quickly" and play "Ave Maria" —  one of his favorite songs. The crowd also sang "God Bless America" a capella.

Soon after the man was taken out of the venue, Trump began answering a question on immigration when another medical incident interrupted the town hall. 

"Ave Maria" came back on as event staffers made their way to the individual. Trump then requested a different version of "Ave Maria," sung by Luciano Pavarotti, a favorite artist of his. 

The former president then decided to preempt the remainder of the town hall.

"Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music," Trump said, offering as an explanation for the change in plans, "Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?" 

Several songs off of the former president's playlist played for the next 40 minutes, including "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" by James Brown as Trump and Noem stood on stage, and Trump swayed to the music while Noem smiled and clapped.

"An American Trilogy" by Elvis Presley and "Nothing Compares 2 U," by the late Sinead O'Connor — two of his favorite songs — filled the room as Trump and Noem periodically half-danced and listened to the playlist. A panel of supporters that was also standing behind them on stage. O'Connor's estate previously requested that Trump stop playing the song at his campaign events. 

The Trump campaign Twitter account said that the former president "turned this town hall into a concert." 

"Something very special is happening in Pennsylvania right now at the Trump townhall," Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a post on X. "@realDonaldTrump is unlike any politician in history, and it's great."

Trump departed the stage to "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses and glad-handed with voters who stayed throughout the duration of Trump's playlist as "Memory" from the musical "Cats" played. 

Harris' campaign account posted on social media about the town hall that the former president "acted confused when asked if they should end the event and play a walk off song" and showed video from the event. Harris posted on X, "Hope he's okay."

Monday's town hall comes on the heels of Trump's refusal over the weekend to release his medical records after Vice President Kamala Harris released hers. After the town hall, Trump posted on Truth Social about Harris' medical records, writing, "As to her completely desperate request for my Medical Statements, she is dying to see my Cholesterol (which is 180!), I have already provided them, many times, including quite recently, and they were flawless."

Trump is set to return to the campaign trail on Tuesday, with stops in Chicago and the crucial battleground state of Georgia. 

Israel Losing Big Time!

Gazans film Israel committing a brutal attack on civilians near a hospital. The world sees it but fails to reign in on it.

After two destructive hurricanes, many Americans are starting to realize that giving billions to Israel and Ukraine is no longer acceptable. Its facing backlash.

The Israeli regime is involved in five conflicts within a year. The regime has no interest in rescuing the IDF soldiers (and settlers) who were captured in Gaza.

Matter of fact, it's been a fucking year..... those "hostages" or perhaps settlers are dead. Dead. Dead.

It wasn't the fault of Hamas. It was fucking Israel's fault. They abandoned them.

Israel has no intention to stop this chaos. They are dictating what they are doing despite the U.S. and the West's demands.

These motherfuckers have clearly advocated since February 2023 for the complete annihilation of the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

It is time for the U.S. to end it is special relationship from the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will end this term with the legacy of blood on their hands. Biden, 81 has been very stubborn on the issue.

His departure from the reelection was a benefit and a shock. Trailing against former president Donald J. Trump, Biden faced a backlash for his support of Israel. He left the race to Harris and it gave Democrats some hope. But along comes Israel and the race is still close. I mean she is tied to a convicted felon, sexual predator and failed president.

Why the election is so close is because of Biden's stance on Israel!

Harris is running in his place and has over $1 billion in campaign contributions.

Trump has only $700 million and his campaign is bleeding cash. The junk food media is starting to get tired of the same old rhetoric. But since he isn't the president and his stance on Israel is no better than Biden or Harris, the voters are placing the blame on the Democrats.

Israel dropped bombs on people in tents sleeping burning them alive. It happened near the al Asqa Hospital and it was reported that 60 people died.

Hezbollah dropped a kamikaze drone on a military barracks killing four. Numbers are disputed.

Israel is on the verge of a civil war.

The U.S. once again threatens to withhold aid if Israel doesn't listen to Biden.

The Sunday letter, jointly written by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin,  is addressed to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. It marks a significant new step by the US to try to compel Israel to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

They write that the U.S. has deep concerns about the situation and ask for “urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory.”

Since this Spring, the amount of aid delivered to Gaza has dropped more than 50% and the quantity delivered in September “was the lowest of any month during the past year,” they added.

The deadline falls after the U.S. presidential election on November 5.

Despite the stern warning, however, the U.S. has continued to provide military assistance to Israel, including an advanced air defense system and US troops which began to arrive in the country on Monday.

Future US aid could be at risk, however. The letter, dated October 13, notes that the US State and Defense departments, under US law, “must continually assess” Israel’s adherence to its assurances made earlier this year that it would not restrict aid flows into the enclave.

The US’ list of demands is extensive. Israel must allow at least 350 trucks a day to enter Gaza through all four major crossings, the letter says, in addition to opening a fifth crossing. Israel must also over the next month implement humanitarian pauses across Gaza as necessary to enable humanitarian activities, including vaccinations and aid distribution for at least the next four months.

The US is also demanding that Israel allow people in the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone inside Gaza to move inland before winter and enhance security for humanitarian convoys and movements.

Israel must also take action to ensure that the Jordan Armed forces corridors are functioning at “full and continuous capacity.”

The letter closes by calling for a new channel between the US and Israeli governments to “raise and discuss civilian harm incidents,” with the first meeting to be held at the end of the month.

Israel’s military operations in northern Gaza have intensified in recent weeks, and the Israeli military has called on civilians there to evacuate to the south, where more than one million displaced Palestinians are already sheltering. The UN World Food Programme warned last weekend that Israeli military operations are having a “disastrous impact” on food security for Palestinian families.

The IDF is exhausted and soon they could revolt against Netanyahu.
