This asshole made a racist remark towards Medhi Hasan and threw out the state sponsored terrorist attack Israel conducted on Lebanon.
Winners and losers of 2024.
MSNBC let Mehdi Hasan go this year after he became too critical of Israel and President Joe Biden. He ended up joining the independent media group Zeteo and became an influential voice for progressives and the Palestinian cause.
Hasan is a British American progressive agitator and Muslim. He is often vilified by the far right because of his criticism of Israel.
He has appeared on al Jazeera, CNN, NewsNation, BBC and MSNBC.
Hasan, Ayman Mohyeldin and Ali Velshi were allegedly told by MSNBC to tone down coverage of Israel. MSNBC canceled Mehdi Hasan's weekend show. He quit rather than take a role as a contributor.
His latest appearance on CNN will be a reminder of how Zionism is a threat to the world. A far right media personality named Ryan James Girdusky made a racist remark and a threat on Abby Phillips NewsNight.
Girdusky referenced the terrorist attack in Beirut. The apartheid ethnostate of Israel launched a series of terrorist attacks using electronic devices.
Girdusky, a conservative, told the former MSNBC host he hoped his “beeper” did not explode in an obvious reference to Israel’s use of explosive pagers in September. That wave of explosions killed or wounded thousands.
One day they’re in Madison Square Garden “joking” about Puerto Ricans as garbage and Black people eating watermelons. The next day they’re on CNN “joking” about Muslims being blown up by beepers. Every day we normalize Trump’s crimes and misbehavior, his followers grow bolder. https://t.co/MTh5Rq5Fg4
I’m happy to learn that CNN has banned Ryan Girdusky from appearing on their network in the future. But why was an alt-right extremist like him — a frequent guest on the show of a Proud Boys founder — invited onto CNN panels in the first place? 🤨pic.twitter.com/9gU45zlT1e
It was condemned by world leaders. The U.S. did not condemn it. In fact, many lawmakers in Congress praised it. They are unaware that the electronic devices they are posting on could be used as a weapon of mass destruction.
Girdusky was removed from a panel on CNN NewsNight after he told Hasan, “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off” – a reference to the pager bombs Israel detonated in Lebanon last month, killing at least 42 people and injuring hundreds more.
Zeteo podcaster Medhi Hasan appears on CNN. He was a victim of a racist and Islamophobic attack by a far right media personality.
After Hasan responded, “Did you just say I should die? Did you just say I should be killed live on CNN?” CNN removed Girdusky from the panel as host Abby Phillip issued an apology for the remark.
“I want to apologize to Mehdi Hasan for what was said at this table. It was completely unacceptable,” she said. “When we get this discussion started, you’ll see that Ryan is not at the table. There is a line that was crossed there and it’s not acceptable to me. It’s not acceptable to us at this network.”
Phillip added, “We can have conversations about what is happening in this country without resorting to the lowest of the lowest kind of discourse.”
In a statement issued shortly after the incident, CNN declared, “There is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air. We aim to foster thoughtful conversations and debate including between people who profoundly disagree with each other in order to explore important issues and promote mutual understanding. But we will not allow guests to be demeaned or for the line of civility to be crossed.”
CNN then announced that “Ryan Girdusky will not be welcomed back at our network.”
I can only imagine that Girdusky will appear on Fox, Real America's Voice, ONN or Newsmax to have an unfiltered view of his racist banter.
The Dayton Police investigate a teen being shot after he stole a vehicle.
The Dayton, Ohio Police are investigating a shooting on Sunday involving a 15 year old who was shot after he stole a vehicle. The teen apparently cut off his ankle bracelet and left his in-house.
The suspect likely broke into a Kia or Hyundai vehicle. The owner spotted this and fired on the suspect as he took off.
The suspect was shot multiple times. He ended up crashing the vehicle.
Once he got out, he ran to home screaming he was shot. The family called the police and rushed him to Kettering Health Dayton. He was treated for his injuries and released.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Montgomery County Juvenile Justice Court confirmed that the suspect was on in-house and was released from custody earlier that week.
The boy matched the description of the theft suspect. Dayton Police Lt. Steven Bauer said this boy had also been recently released from the Juvenile Justice Court on electronic home detention by a judge.
So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.
Kia and Hyundai vehicle are still being stolen despite upgrades and preventive measures.
A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."
Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.
The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
In a matter of seconds, a Bowie cop shoots a man trying to retrieve a hat.
Maryland has a close U.S. senate election. Angela Alsobrooks is facing off against former Republican governor Larry Hogan. The race is considered a toss up.
It is a race that normally favors Democrats but the state has a former governor who was elected twice. If we can elect Wes Moore as the first African American governor, surely we will elect the first African American woman to be the senator of the state.
We are close to electing the first African American woman to be president.
Vice President Kamala Harris is facing off against racism, sexism, protesters, Israel, Russia and a skeptical voting base. She is well funded against former president Donald J. Trump. But thanks to the junk food media and how they hold different standards for her and him, it is clear that Blacks need to vote in large turnouts to defeat MAGAland.
Alsobrooks and Hogan support Israel which is a huge problem. The only thing Israel brought to the United States is endless conflicts, racism, religious supremacy, militarized policing, election interference and damage to America's reputation.
Israel's militarized policing is seen in many of our communities. The George Floyd and Dante Wright murders were prime examples.
Police officers see Black men and automatically assume criminal or threat to their lives.
A Bowie, Maryland police officer saw that and immediately opened fire on him.
Moron cop sees a man walking past him and suddenly draws weapon and fires.
The officer was fired out the cannon. He was charged with attempted murder and reckless endangerment.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
And to think, Trump wants to give police full immunity when they shoot and kill suspects. That alone should hurt his presidential bid.
Prince George's County prosecutors strongly believed the former cop engaged in reckless judgment and put not only an innocent person's life in jeopardy but others. He conducted a traffic stop and observed a man walk past him.
They briefly engaged. After a second, the cop pulled his firearm and shot at the man. It missed him by a few split seconds.
Sgt. Robert Warrington was captured on video shooting at a man after stopping behind an apparent stranded driver on Collington Road in Bowie, Maryland, last month.
“When actions of an officer or anyone, whether it’s a civilian as well, show a disregard for life, the law is there to hold them accountable, and that’s what’s happening in this case at this time,” said Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy.
During the announcement of the indictment, the City of Bowie Police Department also released Warrington’s body camera and dashcam footage showing the Sept. 12 shooting.
The video shows Warrington pulling up behind a car with its hazard lights on. As he opened his door, a man can be seen walking next to the patrol car and continuing toward the passenger side of the car that was in the shoulder with its lights flashing.
“Are you here to help her?” Warrington can be heard asking the man, who responded, “Nah, she’s taking me to the hospital,” apparently referencing the woman inside the stranded vehicle.
About three seconds after the exchange, the officer can be seen pulling out his service weapon and firing in the man’s direction.
The man fell to the ground as the woman in the car got out and repeatedly shouted, “What did you do?”
Warrington can be heard saying “he had a gun” and the man responded from the ground, “I don’t have a gun.”
The Bowie Police had to personally apologize for this.
Shortly after that, Warrington can be heard repeating “I’m sorry,” several times.
The man was not shot, instead prosecutors said a bullet from the officer’s gun hit a passing car.
“It’s important to note that the civilian involved in this case was never charged with a crime. He was never under arrest and has cooperated fully with this investigation,” Braveboy said.
Bowie Police Chief Dwayne Preston said the department released the video with the goal of being transparent about what took place. Preston said he supports the grand jury’s decision, and because of it, Warrington, a 12-year-veteran of the force, has been suspended without pay.
“We would ask that the public reserve judgment until the process has been completed,” Preston said.
Braveboy said Warrington has not been arrested, and instead will receive a summons to appear before a judge on the charges.
Bowie Mayor Tim Adams said while he doesn’t want to “prejudge” the officer’s actions that day, he did see the video.
“We need to make sure we continue to maintain our transparency on all that happens, and our integrity of making sure that everybody is accountable,” Adams said.
Warrington was a sergeant and K9 handler.
So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

Is someone trying to torch the ballots before they get counted?
The U.S. Department of Justice will get to the bottom of this. On top of that it assures the FBI, ATF and U.S. Postal Inspectors will be investigating this.
The suspects involved will be criminally charged. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Someone in the Northwest is burning ballot boxes where provisional ballots are deposited. This is not only a state crime but a federal tampering issue.
A blue U.S. Postal Service mailbox in Phoenix was set on fire overnight, damaging several ballots and other pieces of mail, authorities said.
Local law enforcement officials arrested a 35-year-old man in connection to the incident, which occurred at about 1:20 a.m. local time Thursday. The suspect, identified as Dieter B. Klofkorn, admitted committing arson but said it was not related to election, police said at a news conference.
Ballot drop boxes in Portland, Oregon, and neighboring Vancouver, Washington, were set on fire Monday morning in what authorities believe are connected incidents about a week out from Election Day.
This is the Facebook profile of the Arizona man who set a U.S. mail box on fire. Dieter Klofkorn even admits he uses methamphetamine (Ice) and he is not a Nazi as he claimed.
An identical Volvo was spotted at both scenes, and the use of an "incendiary device" in Portland was "similar in nature" to what occurred in Vancouver, the cities' police departments said. Portland police described the act as targeted and intentional.
Three ballots were damaged in Portland, while potentially “hundreds” were affected in Vancouver, local officials said.
The Portland Police Bureau said an "incendiary device" was placed inside a sidewalk ballot box in the Central City district. By the time officers responded to reports about 3:30 a.m., security personnel in the area had extinguished the flames.
"Officers determined an incendiary device was placed inside the ballot box and used to ignite the fire," Portland police said in a statement, adding that the bureau's Explosive Disposal Unit removed the mechanism.
Portland police were continuing to investigate. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said it would step up patrols around ballot drop boxes in the county.
4. The junk food media not holding former president Donald J. Trump accountable for his antics.
Sunday was the closing message of an extremely controversial presidential campaign.
Some see this as the 1939 Nazi Convention. The former president picked the venue in a state he lost by 30 points. Even though upstate counties, Staten Island and counties on Long Island, New York swing for Trump, the four borroughs that make up New York City ain't giving him the win.
New York City has 8.9 million people. It's the United States largest city and a global megalopolis. It is an Alpha City and a hub of the world. The five boroughs are Manhattan (New York County), Brooklyn (Kings County), Queens (Queens County), The Bronx (Bronx County) and Staten Island (Richmond County).
The junk food media covered the former president's closing message at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The whole thing lasted over eight hours. The former president, Donald J. Trump, running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Dr. Phil McGraw, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Tucker Carlson, Hulk Hogan, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and a bunch of others came to this event. Even former first lady Melania Trump appeared at the rally.
Uh, I want you to know that if he wins, this country will be set back at least fifty more years. If he loses, he will be dealing with the legal consequences and potential backlash from donors and others who felt he couldn't seal the deal.
I am so really tired of this noise from MAGAland. They offer nothing but grievances and ad homiem attacks on their fellow Americans.
This was a rally to hate humans. A rally to hate difference. A rally to stroke a civil war.
Kill Tony may have damaged Trump's presidential bid.
Trump is not a man of peace. He is a chaos agent. He survived an assassin attempt. Orchestrated the worst attack on democracy since the U.S. Civil War. He failed at saving lives during a deadly pandemic. He tried to illegally steal an election. He is very definition of white privilege. We thought Trump would tone it down. Nope. He doubled down. He keeps going on and invites these people to egg on.
While the Republicans get upset over Vice President Kamala Harris calling Trump a "fascist", the former president continues to dehumanize her, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, former president Barack Obama, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Democrats with divisive rhetoric.
The event managed to carry up to 21,000 attendees. Many from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Delaware. New York City is within a five hour drive, so these MAGAland people will travel to see the former president.
Will this rally help him?
Well, I can tell you that besides Trump, Vance, Kennedy, Musk and McGraw, there were a handful of characters who said some offensive things about Muslims, Arabs, Latinos, Blacks, transwomen, gay men, former Republicans and Harris.
Trump's alleged mistress Alina Habba dazzles the crowd with her MAGA sequined jacket.
Oh, several Muslim leaders including the mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan endorsed Trump on Saturday.
The speakers:
Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States and 2024 Republican nominee.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), 2024 vice presidential nominee.
Elon Musk, media personality, CEO of Tesla, X and SpaceX.
Alina Habba, former Trump lawyer during the 2021 impeachment hearings and 2024 criminal trial.
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Speaker of the United States.
Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic lawmaker and MAGAland activist.
Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and fomrer Trump lawyer.
Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee and Trump's daughter-in-law.
Eric Trump, son of Trump and husband of Lara Trump.
Donald Trump, Jr., son of Trump, former chairman of The Trump Organization.
Dan Scavino, former White House senior advisor.
Stephen Miller, former White House senior advisor and white nationalist.
Dana White, chairman of the UFC and TKO Group Holdings.
Hulk Hogan, retired WWE wrestler, media personality and actor.
Scott Lobaido, American artist who worked on the Trump fist up pose.
Tucker Carlson, media personality and white nationalist.
Brooke Rollins, former acting director of Domestic Policy Council of the United States.
Steve Witkoff, real estate investor, archnemesis of Mark Cuban and Trump longtime ally.
Howard Lutnick, American businessman, Republican donor and Trump longtime ally.
Grant Cardone, American financial adviser and social media personality.
Sergio Gor, American political writer.
Michael "Harry-O" Harris, Jr., former co-founder of Death Row Records.
Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms For Liberty.
Lee Greenwood, American singer, media personality and songwriter.
Christopher Macchio, American classical vocalist.
Mary Millben, American singer and actress.
Sid Rosenberg, American talk radio host and former sports commentator.
Kill Tony (Hinchcliffe), American comedian and podcaster.
David Rem, Trump's longtime friend.
Tony Hinchcliffe stole the show. His comedy act was the most talked about. He made some of the most offensive and divisive remarks at the rally. Only less than a week from the 2024 presidential election, Hinchcliffe gave the Democrats a list of talking points.
Dr. Phil is a DEI hire. Oprah Winfrey got him and Dr. Oz popular.
Hinchcliffe, a former resident of Youngstown, Ohio now living in Houston, made his appearance and right off the bat attacked California, denigrated the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." He also said Latinos reproduced too much and invoked racist stereotypes.
He made remarks of Blacks being addicted to watermelons and fried chicken. He also made an antisemitic troupe. He said that Palestinians throwing rocks in the Israeli-Palestinian confict by joking that "Jews have a hard time throwing paper."
He reference Travis Kelcee to OJ Simpson. The called the Harris endorsements of Beyonce, Eminem, Taylor Swift (Kelcee's girlfriend), Usher and others as members of P. Diddy's infamous parties.
This sted a rally featuring crude and racist insults at New York’s Madison Square Garden Sunday, turning what his campaign had dubbed as the event where he would deliver his closing message into an illustration of what turns off his critics.
With just over a week before Election Day, speakers labeled Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” called Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris “the devil,” and said the woman vying to become the first woman and Black woman president had begun her career as a prostitute.
“I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” said Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic whose set also included lewd and racist comments about Latinos, Jews and Black people, all key constituencies in the election just nine days away.
Sexual predator Elon Musk introduces Melania Trump.
His joke was immediately criticized by Harris’ campaign as it competes with Trump to win over Puerto Rican communities in Pennsylvania and other swing states. Puerto Rican music superstar Bad Bunny backed Harris shortly after Hinchcliffe’s appearance.
The normally pugnacious Trump campaign took the rare step of distancing itself from Hinchcliffe. “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.
But other speakers also made incendiary comments. Trump’s childhood friend David Rem referred to Harris as “the Antichrist” and “the devil.” Businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd that Harris ”and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.”
The marquee event reflected the former president’s tone throughout his third White House campaign. Though he refrained from doing so Sunday, Trump often tears into Harris in offensive and personal terms himself, questioning in recent weeks her mental stability and her intelligence as well as calling her “lazy,” long a racist trope used against Black people.
The event was a surreal spectacle that included former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan, TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, politicians including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Reps. Byron Donalds and Elise Stefanik, and an artist who painted a picture of Trump hugging the Empire State Building.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. despite losing his mom to death and possibly his wife to a divorce decides to speak to MAGAland about his failures.
And that was all before Trump was to take the stage, running more than two hours late.
After being introduced by his wife, Melania Trump, in a rare public appearance, the former president began by asking the same questions he’s asked at the start of every recent rally: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” The crowd responded with a resounding “No!”
“This election is a choice between whether we’ll have four more years of gross incompetence and failure, or whether we’ll begin the greatest years in the history of our country,” he said.
Trump announced a new tax credit for caregivers.
Trump on Sunday added a new proposal to his list of tax cuts aimed at winning over older adults and blue-collar workers, which already includes vows to end taxes on Social Security benefits, tips and overtime pay: A tax credit for family caregivers.
This comes after Harris has talked about the “sandwich generation” of adults caring for aging parents while raising their children at the same time. Harris has proposed federal funding to cover home care costs for older Americans.
Trump otherwise repeated familiar lines about foreign policy and immigration, calling for the death penalty for any migrant who kills a U.S. citizen and saying that the day he takes office, “The migrant invasion of our country ends.”
As Trump’s remarks came up on an hour, some of the crowd began trickling out.
Tech mogul Elon Musk, who spoke earlier and introduced Melania Trump, was a prominent part of Trump’s closing campaign message. The former president called Musk “a genius” and “special.”
Kamala Harris was right. Tulsi Gabbard was an op.
Musk nodded to Trump’s recent plan to allow him to lead a government efficiency commission to audit the entire federal government. Several of Musk’s businesses, including Tesla and SpaceX, have major government contracts or have relied on U.S. subsidies, and Musk has faced criticism after reports that he has spoken privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Your money is being wasted and the department of government efficiency is going to fix that,” Musk said before taking a place offstage beside Melania Trump.
Many of the speakers Sunday appeared on stage at the Republican National Convention. This time, the same speakers shouted and railed more against Democrats.
Hogan, returning to the venue where he performed years ago as a professional wrestler, seemed to reprise his character, emerging wearing a giant red, orange and yellow boa and violently waving a large American flag as he posed and danced. He spat on the stage during his speech, flexed his muscles repeatedly and told the audience: “Trump is the only man that can fix this country today.”
J.D. Vance says Kamala, "You're fired."
Trump allies went after Democrats for bringing up a pro-Nazi rally
Some Democrats, calling Trump a fascist, have compared his Sunday event to a pro-Nazi rally at the Garden in February 1939. Several speakers on Sunday ripped Hillary Clinton, the Democrat defeated by Trump eight years ago, for saying recently that Trump would be “reenacting” the 1939 event. One of them, radio host Sid Rosenberg, directed a profanity at Clinton.
“Hey guys, they’re now scrambling and trying to call us Nazis and fascists,” said Alina Habba, one of Trump’s attorneys, who draped a sparkly “MAGA” jacket over the lectern as she spoke. “And you know what they’re claiming, guys? It’s very scary. They’re claiming we’re going to go after them and try and put them in jail. Well, ain’t that rich?”
Declared Hogan in his raspy growl: “I don’t see no stinkin’ Nazis in here.”
Trump has denounced the four criminal indictments brought against him as politically motivated. He has ramped up his denunciations in recent weeks of “enemies from within,” naming domestic political rivals, and suggested he would use the military to go after them. Harris, in turn, has referred to Trump as a fascist.
The Hulkster struggled to rip his shirt. Oh, brother.
The arena was full hours before Trump was scheduled to speak. Outside the arena, the sidewalks were overflowing with Trump supporters in red “Make America Great Again” hats. There was a heavy security presence. Streets were blocked off and access to Penn Station was restricted.
“It just goes to show ya that he has a bigger following of any man that has ever lived,” said Philip D’Agostino, a longtime Trump backer from Queens, the borough where Trump grew up.
A New Yorker returns home.
Trump has a complicated history with the place where he built his business empire and that made him a tabloid and reality TV star. Its residents indicted him last year on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He was found guilty in that case, and also found liable in civil court for business fraud and sexual abuse.
But Trump has been talking about wanting to hold a rally at the venue dubbed “The World’s Most Famous Arena” since he launched his campaign.
The rally was one of a number of detours Trump has made from battleground states, including a recent rally in Coachella, California, and rallies on the Jersey Shore and in the South Bronx.
Tucker Carlson is dying to call Kamala the hard N.....!
While some have dismissed the stops as nothing more than vanity events aimed at boosting Trump’s ego, the rallies guaranteed Trump national coverage that could help him reach the country’s few remaining undecided voters, many of whom don’t get their news from traditional outlets.
New York has not voted for a Republican for president in 40 years. But that hasn’t stopped Trump from continuing to insist he believes he can win. New York is also home to a handful of competitive congressional races that could determine which party controls the House next year.
Trump routinely uses his hometown as a foil before audiences in other states, painting a dark vision of the city that bears little resemblance to reality. He’s cast it as crime-ridden and overrun by violent, immigrant gangs who have taken over Fifth and Madison avenues and occupied Times Square.
On Sunday, however, Trump was much more complimentary of the city. He said “no city embodies the spirit” and energy of the American people more and talked about attending basketball and hockey games at the Garden.
After Trump concluded his speech after over an hour, opera singer Christopher Macchio came on stage to perform the song “New York, New York.”
The former president smiled and swayed slightly, his wife standing next to him on stage.
It's almost over.
I struggled with this. I was really on the fence with it. I do take former president Donald J. Trump as a serious threat to democracy. But to see the Democratic Party align itself with warmongering rhetoric and the Israeli regime almost had me vote third party. I went ahead and voted for Harris and Walz. I saw the choices and the closest to my views at best was Harris.
Jill Stein proved to be an idiot and perennial loser. The Green Party has openly admitted they are trying to make Trump win. They are also clueless on how government works.
Electing Stein will not stop Israel. Matter of fact, what drove my vote was allegations that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is colluding with Trump to depress the Democratic voter turnout. That would be election interference.
Netanyahu and Russian president Vladimir Putin wants a stooge in the White House to do its bidding. Biden is leaving and he fears Harris will get tough on him. Trump praised Netanyahu in the past and complained about how the evil man couldn't get the job done. Trump frequently talks to him and admitted that Netanyahu ignores Biden despite the unilateral military aid funding.
Netanyahu wants to see Harris lose because he can use Trump as a path to creating Greater Israel. Putin sees Trump as an idiot. Russia seeks to advance BRIC's agenda to reign in American influence and rid the world of the U.S. dollar.
Trump said it will be a bloodbath if he loses. He still angry over Biden dropping out. Because he felt that he had a strong opportunity to defeat the president.
In less than a week it will be all over. No more text messages trying to encourage donations. No more polls and man on the streets. No more shocks and awes.
We will return to normal. Some will be happy others said. At the end of the day, democracy will happen and one will win.
I hate to admit but this articulate idiot has a point on one thing. Why is the U.S. willing to drag our men and women into conflict that have nothing to do with us?
Why are we allowing our taxpayer money go to foreign countries that offer nothing but constant turmoil?
What has Israel ever done for the United States?
It gave us militarization of the police, stifling of free speech, gaslighting us into endless wars and meddling in our elections.
Yeah, that's the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.
The Anti-Defamation League and American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) are foreign agents of Israel. They have spied on Americans, weaponized antisemitism and caused divisions with our institutions.
Candace Owens was fired from The Daily Wire after she criticized the U.S. role in funding Israel. Owens also criticized her employers for taking pro Israeli propaganda as fact.
She was called.... the hard one with the "er" by a rabbi.
Now because of Israeli lobbyists, they banned Owens entry into Australia.
They say she could incite violence in the country.
Winners and losers of 2024.
Immigration Minister Tony Burke confirmed the conservative online influencer would not be granted a visa, saying "Australia's national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else".
"From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about [Nazi physician Josef] Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction," Mr Burke said.
Owens has almost 3 million subscribers on YouTube, where she publishes interviews and political commentary, regularly sharing conspiracy theories and criticism of social movements such as Black Lives Matter.
In July she described stories about Nazi experiments on twins in concentration camps during World War II as "completely absurd" and "bizarre propaganda".
Her speaking tour of Australia, scheduled for November, is advertised as "provocative" and appealing to audiences seeking "alternative viewpoints".
"Known for her controversial takes and unwavering stance, Candace is set to light up stages across Australia and New Zealand with her bold and unfiltered perspectives," reads a description on ticketing website Ticketek.
In an announcement video posted to her social media accounts in August, Owens said Australian audiences would hear her "discuss everything they do not want us speaking about" including "freedom of speech" and "why Christ really is king".
Jonathan Greenblatt never condemned Trump for praising Adolf Hitler.
Tickets to Candace Owens Live range from $95 for general admission, to $1500 for a VIP package which includes a pre-show dinner, champagne reception and a meet and greet with Owens.
The show includes stops in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane.
The Anti-Defamation Commission, a pro-Jewish group which campaigned to have Owen's visa revoked, said the immigration minister's decision was "a victory for truth".
"Australia has no place for those who mock the suffering of genocide survivors and insult the memories of the 6 million Jews who perished," chairman Dvir Abramovich said.
"This is a line in the sand."
Owens has not yet publicly responded to the visa refusal and tour promoter Rocksman has been contacted for comment.
Far right extremist J. Shmuley Boteach, a notorious agent provocateur, Jewish nationalist and New York rabbi has openly called for a hit on Owens.
Owens is defiant. She said if anything happens to her, her children or her husband, Baron George Farmer, blame Israel.
Owens is also a fervent supporter of Donald J. Trump. The support is waning because of he is no longer "America First."
Owens is praised by Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist who resended his endorsement of Trump. Brihna Joy Gray who was fired from Nexstar Media also took support for Owens over her stance against Israel.
Zionism spreads like a cancer, even in Australia.
It is a country still dealing with colonialism and white nationalism. Great Britain has the country a part of its dominion and King Charles III as its reigning leader.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing criticism like President Joe Biden because of their stance on Israel.
Other leaders Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Great Britain, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, King Abdullah II of Jordan, President Ursula von der Leyen of the European Union and United Nations Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez are being hammered as well.
Israel does not have the right to invade other sovereignities and indiscriminately kill civilians and peacekeepers.
Israel will not survive under its current state. The world will reject this rogue state.
Israel is committing a genocide. This is the 21st Century Holocaust and we are witnessing it in real time against Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Yemeni, Iraqi and Iranian because of Israel.
When Israel is even attacking UN Peacekeepers, you know they're the bad guys in this situation.
The Chicago rapper who had a breakout single "All My Life" with J. Cole earned him a Grammy. Now he will face a series of federal charges for an attempted murder for hire.
Lil Durk is caught up.
Winners and losers of 2024.
Fresh after celebrating your 32nd birthday, Durk Devontay Banks found the feds swarming his Florida home. He gets arrested and is being held in federal time out. The possibility of LIFE if convicted.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Durk has been arrested in Florida on federal charges that he paid for the attempted 2022 revenge killing of rapper Quando Rondo at a Los Angeles gas station, a shooting that resulted in the death of Rondo’s cousin.
Durk is charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire in the slaying of Saviay’a Robinson, 24, who was gunned down on Aug. 19, 2022, according to an FBI affidavit released Friday.
Five other members of Durk’s Chicago-based rap collective, “Only the Family” or “OTF,” have also been arrested and at least two more arrests may be forthcoming, according to court documents that have been filed. Durk was arrested Thursday night in South Florida as he attempted to flee the country, the FBI says.
Durk won a Grammy earlier this year for Best Melodic Rap Performance for his song “All My Life,” which featured J. Cole. He has also been nominated three times and was a featured performer on Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later.”
Martin Estrada, the U.S. attorney for Los Angeles, called the shooting “a cold-blooded murder.”
“The shooting occurred in the open, at a gas station at a busy intersection, endangering many others in the area,” Estrada said in a statement. “Violent gun crime of this sort is devastating to our community and we will have zero-tolerance for those who perpetrate such callous acts of violence.”
FBI Agent Sarah Corcoran said in her affidavit that OTF members engage “in violence, including murder and assault, at the direction of Banks and to maintain their status in OTF.”
Durk’s representatives did not immediately respond to emails Friday seeking comment.
According to Corcoran’s affidavit and other federal court records, the shooting stems from the November 2020 slaying of OTF rapper King Von, 26, at an Atlanta nightclub after Von and Rondo got into a fight. Records say a friend of Rondo’s pulled a gun and shot Von several times, killing him. Von, whose real name was Dayvon Bennett, had two hit singles, ″Crazy Story″ and “Took Her to the O.”
Authorities say Durk made it known that he would “pay a bounty” to anyone who killed Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman.
Almost two years later, a murder plot quickly came together, Corcoran wrote.
On Aug. 18, 2022, Durk’s associates learned that Rondo was staying at a Los Angeles hotel. That day, Deandre Wilson, Keith Jones, David Lindsey, Asa Houston and a fifth unnamed suspect flew from Chicago to San Diego and then drove to Los Angeles using funds provided by Durk, Corcoran said.
Lil Durk and J. Cole appear in their Grammy award single "All My Life."
That day, Durk allegedly texted an associate arranging the flights, “Don’t book no flights under no names involved wit me.” Corcoran said there is video evidence that Durk was staying at a house in the San Fernando Valley that day.
Once arriving in Los Angeles, the OTF members met Kayon Grant, who had flown there on a private jet. Grant, a top OTF associate, got the men hotel rooms, purchased four ski masks and obtained two luxury sedans, court records say. Grant allegedly gave Jones, Lindsey and a third unnamed suspect guns, including one that had been converted into a machine gun.
The next day, the group allegedly followed Rondo and Robinson as they drove a Cadillac Escalade to a Los Angeles marijuana dispensary, a West Hollywood clothing store and then a gas station across the street from the Beverly Center.
There, Houston allegedly parked his car behind the station so Jones, Lindsey and the unnamed defendant could ambush Rondo. They got out and opened fire, killing Robinson, who was standing outside the Escalade, but missing Rondo, the indictment and news stories about the shooting say.
The suspects then went to an In-N-Out hamburger stand where they discussed payment with Grant and then flew home to Chicago from San Diego, Corcoran and other documents say. Wilson allegedly later paid Jones and Lindsey an undisclosed amount.
Grant, Jones, Lindsey, Wilson and Houston were arrested Thursday in Chicago on conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire charges. No attorney information was immediately available for those men in court records.
After their arrests, Corcoran wrote, Durk booked two flights from South Florida airports — one to Dubai and one to Switzerland. He then booked a private flight to Italy, but was arrested in Miami before he could board it.
Durk and the other defendants are being held pending their transfer to Los Angeles.
In 2019, Durk and King Von were charged in Atlanta with a drive-by shooting that left a man wounded in the leg. Prosecutors dropped the case against Durk in 2022, two years after Von’s slaying. Durk had denied his involvement.
In 2014, Durk pleaded guilty to felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and felony possession of a firearm after he was seen carrying a gun on a Chicago street. He was spared jail time.
Two villages in Chicago’s western suburbs, Bellwood and Broadview, last week honored Durk and announced collaborations with his charity, Neighborhood Heroes Foundation, to provide youth mentors.
But on Friday, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson announced she had severed ties to Neighborhood Heroes and had withdrawn the honorary key to the village given Durk.
While acknowledging that Durk and other suspects are presumed innocent, village residents have “even higher moral and ethical standards of behavior,” Thompson wrote on the village’s Facebook page.
A telephone message seeking comment from Andre Harvey, Bellwood’s mayor, was left at his office.
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania election officials notified state and federal authorities of voter registration fraud.
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is a strongly Republican county. It supported former president Donald J. Trump in 2016 and 2020. It is likely going to do it again. However, the county is concerned that voter registration fraud is happening and they will get to the bottom of it.
If I was Trump, I better be preparing for post election. If he does not win, he will be facing lawsuits, his criminal sentencing and a lot of angry Republicans who feel that he couldn't seal the deal.
Why the election is so close?
1. White people.
2. Israel.
3. The junk food media holding double standards towards Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald J. Trump.
4. Lack of college education and personal bias.
I have a strong feeling I think Harris is going to win but do not count Trump out.
He has pulled off upsets before and the election could come down to a handful of states.
Pennsylvania voters remember the pandemic, the assassination attempt, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles. They know the Penn State Natti Lions and the Hersheyland Park. They know Scranton, Harrisburg, Allentown, Erie, Altoona and Johnstown. They know Shanksville, Sheetz, Wawa, the Liberty Bell, The Philadelphia Penguins, The Philadelphia Flyers, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Union and Kennywood. They know the Centralia Coal Mine Disaster and the Three Mile Island tragedy. They know the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the Ben Franklin Bridge and Walt Whitman Bridge.
Pennsylvania is the Keystone State.
Many on the left are calling out far right agitator Scott Presler.
Presler, an openly gay non conforming far right extremist is associated with the Republican National Committee. He just got hired by chairs Lara Trump and Michael Whatley. He is a white nationalist who panders to that base despite him being a part of the LGBTQ community.
Clarification, the RNC didn't hire him but appreciated his work on behalf of them.
Presler was fired out the cannon by the Virginia GOP after a gay sex tape leaked to Craiglist. He filmed himself engaging in an act while inside the headquarters.
Presler is actively trying to flip Pennsylvania back to Republicans. It is difficult with the incumbent Democratic governor Josh Shapiro being popular and President Joe Biden being a native son. However it remains a bellwether for the presidential race and Trump will need it.
Trump survived a mass shooting and assassination attempt in Butler.
Presler is a election denier, agent provocateur, possible fed and a whiny loser.
He is also a block magnet. You criticize him or his motives and he will block you on social media. I am assuming he is having a field day after the state launched a criminal investigation into Lancaster County's voter registrations.
A criminal investigation is underway in the crucial presidential battleground of Pennsylvania after election workers in one county flagged about 2,500 voter registration forms for potential fraud. Two other counties were alerted to look for similar problems.
The forms arrived at the Lancaster County elections office shortly before the state’s deadline to register this past Monday and were apparently part of a larger effort to sign people up, officials said Friday. Some had false names, suspicious handwriting, questionable signatures, incorrect addresses or other problematic details.
Two other unnamed counties received similar applications and were notified to check into them, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said at a news conference. She said election workers “noticed that numerous applications” had similarities, but officials did not indicate the volume of suspicious applications or say how many applications had already been fully investigated.
Explore Talent. Scott Presler, an infamous white nationalist may have committed voter fraud.
“It appears to be an organized effort at this point,” said Adams, an elected Republican. “But of course, it’s an ongoing investigation. And we’ll be looking into who exactly participated in it and how far up it goes.”
The set of applications has been segregated during the investigation, preventing ballots from being sent to or cast by people until they are deemed valid. Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes are being fought over as polls indicate the presidential contest in the state is a close race.
“The fact of the matter is, we’ve contained this,” Lancaster Commissioner Ray D’Agostino, a Republican who chairs the election board, said at the news conference. “This is not right. It’s illegal. It’s immoral. And we found it, and we’re going to take care of it.”
Adams and the county election board members did not say who dropped off the forms or whom they may have been working with.
D’Agostino said the applications were not limited to a single party and had been collected at various spots in Republican-majority Lancaster.
The Pennsylvania Department of State issued a statement Friday praising the elections workers “for their diligent work in spotting this potential fraud and bringing it to the attention of law enforcement.” The state attorney general’s office, which was also contacted by Lancaster officials, declined to comment.
About 3 in 5 of the applications that have so far been fully investigated have had problems, Adams said. Other applications among the 2,500 have been verified as accurate and are being processed as normal, she said.
Most of the applications were dated since Aug. 15, and a majority of them were from Lancaster City. Adams said the applications were collected as part of a “large-scale canvassing operation.”
“In some cases, applications contained correct personal identification information, such as the correct address, correct phone number, date of birth, driver’s license number and Social Security number — but the individuals listed on the applications informed detectives that they did not request the form,” Adams said. “They did not complete the form and verified that the signature on the form was not theirs.”
