Who Took Out The Trash?

They indoctrinate children.

While Republicans are still fuming over President Joe Biden calling former president Donald J. Trump and supporters garbage, the reality is happening.

For a guy who claims to believe in freedom, he sure doesn't like it when it doesn't suit his own agenda. He claims to be a man of the people but is doing things that seem out of touch.

While many of his strongest supporters sit in federal time out or the iron college for criminal acts, he has the privilege to travel wherever wants despite his own criminal conviction. He is the very definition of white privilege.

They are also wearing Trump merchandise. 

Have you seen the new MAGA Garbage outfits?

Goes great with the Trump sneakers, Trump watches, Trump bibles and Trump NFT platforms. A whole gift set on behalf of MAGAland. Since he licensed his name to these products all the proceeds go to E. Jean Carroll and the State of New York.

Republicans complain about children being indoctrinated by politics. Yet, here we are!

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 Vice President Kamala 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. 


The former president struggled to get into a garbage truck in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

Trump was in Arizona with Tucker Carlson. He made remarks about former House member Liz Cheney. He called her a "radical warhawk" and suggested she should face a firing squad.

At two rallies in Wisconsin and Michigan, he got angry over microphone issues.

He threatened to attack the people who operated his microphone.

He even stimulated oral sex when he had an issue trying to grab the microphone.

Trump also said he will be the protector of women "whether they like it or not."

A white man in Orangeburg, South Carolina assaults a poll worker after they asked him to take off his political hat. He shoved a Black woman and she slapped him. The man tried to physically assault her before poll workers stopped him and escorted him out of the facility.

WIS News 10 obtained a 1:26-minute video showing the moments leading up to the physical altercation. The video begins with what appears to show poll workers asking a man, identified by authorities as Mark Morris to remove his hat.

Morris could then be heard shouting explicitly, referring to a poll worker as a “f****** b****,” before snatching off the hat, flipping it around, and telling another poll worker it’s his “mother******* right.”

He then proceeds to yell at the poll workers telling them to “shut the hell up and let me vote.”

The video then shows, another poll worker, identified by authorities as Angela Buchannon-Glover, step in attempting to diffuse the situation and could be heard saying, “We ain’t got nothing else to say and we’re going to move on.”

As the next voter in line is called up to check in the vote, Morris could be seen turning toward Buchannon-Glover before taking his hat off and tossing it in the hall.

Mock lynching in Pennsylvania. The float depicts Harris being lynched by Trump.

Morris was wearing a hat with the phrase, “Let’s Go Brandon.” That phrase began circulating in 2021 and according to the Associated Press, is a conservative code for “F—- Joe Biden.”

South Carolina law restricts what people can wear to go vote. Voters are not allowed to wear anything that displays a political party, candidate name, or ballot issue.

The law says, "The poll manager shall use every reasonable means to keep the area within five hundred feet of any such entrance clear of political literature and displays, and the county and municipal law enforcement officers, upon request of a poll manager, shall remove or cause to be removed any material within five hundred feet of any such entrance distributed or displayed in violation of this section."

Morris is then seen turning toward Buchannon-Glover again where he appears to point in her face. It is unclear from the angle of the video if Morris made physical contact with Buchannon-Glover.

Directly after their exchange, Buchannon-Glover hits Morris. The two are then separated by the group of poll workers as Morris is seen attempting to hit Buchannon-Glover back.

A parade float in Pennsylvania depicted Harris being lynched by Trump. The float shown in a key swing state, Mount Pleasant, in Westermoreland County, part of metro Pittsburgh.

Officials in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania are facing backlash over a politically themed float at the town's Halloween parade that reportedly depicted former president Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris in chains, with some people calling it downright hateful.

Now, the mayor says the borough is looking into how that float was allowed in the parade.

"It's a hot political season, probably not something I’d want in a children's parade."

In a video sent to our NBC Affiliate WPXI, you can see a float that appeared during the Mount Pleasant Halloween parade that shows people dressed as Secret Service surrounding a golf cart style vehicle.

Riding in the cart is a person wearing a mask of former president Donald Trump, and on the top of the vehicle is a fake sniper.

"The worst part of it was that there was either a rope or a chain attached to the back of the vehicle, and there was a woman who was to resemble Kamala Harris in handcuffs and chained to the back of the vehicle as though they were dragging her,” says Mount Pleasant Mayor Diane Bailey.

"This is not a good look, this is simulating a lynching down Main Street in Mount Pleasant,” one parade attendee said.

Josh Huff attended the parade with his wife and said he was immediately stunned seeing the float.

"It was dark. This has been escalated way beyond what it should be. Somebody in power had to say ‘hey, yeah, that's fine; That's okay.’"

Our NBC affiliate WPXI asked the mayor how the float was approved.

“How did this get approved? How did this make it through approval to get in the line to be in the parade and then continue on through the parade route?" - reporter

"That is a legitimate question, and I cannot answer that totally,” the mayor responded.

The mayor says that she is meeting with the borough manager and council president and might get the solicitor involved.

"After it's already done, I’m not sure that there's much we can do except for going forward."

WPXI also reached out to Bill Bretz, the Westmoreland County Republican Committee Chair.

His statement, in part, says, "we certainly don't condone the simulation of political imprisonment or violence in any context no matter the party affiliation of those involved."

"This needs to stop. In this country, this needs to stop,” Mayor Bailey added.

The parade is sponsored by the local volunteer fire department.

A Clark County, Ohio Sheriff Lieutenant said in a social media post that he will not protect any citizens who back Harris.

A patrol commander for the Clark County Sheriff’s Office was reprimanded for Facebook posts in which he said he would require proof of who a person voted for before providing aid and would not help Democrats.

Lt. John Rodgers, who was hired to the sheriff’s office in 2002, received a written reprimand for his conduct, which Chief Deputy Mike Young said does not represent the views of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

The posts, included in Rodgers’ personnel file, include one stating “At the end of the day I will require proof of who you voted for if you ask me for help. Weapons and ammo are not cheap” and another posted on Oct. 20 that said “I am sorry. If you support the Democrat party I will not help you.”

Chief Deputy Young tied the issue to the ongoing strain in Springfield and Clark County over Haitian immigration.

“We’ve been in this battle over the last few months, with the attacks on the Haitian community and other immigrants, and we protect people’s rights and we don’t support the conduct to the contrary,” Young said. “I can’t go back in time and take that post away; the lieutenant made the post and he has received consequences for that.”

In a letter to Major Scott Cultice in Rodgers’ personnel file, Rodgers said he does not recall writing the posts and he was alerted to them when a coworker asked if he was OK. He wrote that he did not find them on his page when he searched for them and that the first time he saw them was during a meeting with Cultice.

It's almost over.

Rodgers said that he sometimes takes a prescribed sleep aid that can cause him to make “out of character” texts, phone calls or other forms of communication as a side effect.

“I was taken aback when I read those messages and do not have those, nor have I ever had feelings toward anyone like what was depicted in the posts,” Rodgers wrote. “I have served this community, this County and the State for the last 31 years serving as a firefighter, campus policy officer and a Sheriff’s Deputy. There is no other job that [I] would want to be doing than the one that [I] am currently at.”

Rodgers apologized for causing concerns and said he decided to cease taking the medication.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose had announced that Trump and Harris campaign attire will be allowed at polling stations. After a video went viral of a Clermont County man wearing a Make America Great Again hat being told by poll workers he couldn't enter until he took it off. The man got very agitated and it had a sheriff's deputy talk to him and he eventually took off the hat.

LaRose has released guidance to county elections officials statewide saying voters are permitted to wear clothing with slogans such as “Make America Great Again” or “We’re Not Going Back” to the polls without that being considered improper campaign attire.

Ohio law has long prohibited voters from wearing clothing or displaying material stumping for or against a candidate or issue in the “neutral zone” around a polling location marked by American flags. Voters have been asked to remove hats or turn their shirt inside out if it expressed support for a candidate on the ballot.

Guidance issued by the state this week says: “Slogans that can be associated with a political party, candidate or ballot question or issue, but do not display the name of the political party, candidate, or ballot question or issue are not prohibited.”

LaRose’s office says this guidance has been the same since LaRose took office, though some county elections officials and a document previously on the Secretary of State’s website ― which the secretary of state’s office says they didn’t create — have previously interpreted Ohio law to prohibit material that implies clear support for a candidate.

The most common example of this is the Make America Great Again, or MAGA, slogan used by supporters of former President Donald Trump and often emblazoned on bright red hats. Slogans used by the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris include “When we fight, we win” and “We’re Not Going Back.”

Over The Falls!

The wonders of nature. Niagara Falls. 

Back in 2016, I took a random trip to Niagara Falls. I went to New York and Ontario in Canada. I took the seven hour drive and spent three nights in Niagara Falls, New York. I went to the Rainbow Bridge and walked across the border.

I saw the falls from the New York side. More tourist visit the Falls at night because they have a light show and sometimes fireworks.

I went to Toronto, Canada's largest city and provincial capital of Ontario. It was a beautiful city. 

The traffic on the 401 Freeway was terrible but the scenery was beautiful. The city sits on the banks of Lake Ontario and it was the last vacation I had taken.

An American woman intentionally threw her children and herself over Niagara Falls. The U.S. and Canadian authorities have presumed the woman and children are dead.

The New York State Police said the woman named Chianti Means was holding her 9 year old son and 5-month old daughter when she jumped the guardrail and took the plunge over the falls.

The 33-year-old mother climbed over a safety rail and intentionally went over Niagara Falls with her two children according to New York state police, who said Wednesday that search and rescue efforts were unsuccessful.



Authorities responded to the park around 9 p.m. Monday and determined the family went over the rail on Luna Island, a small island between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls that, along with the Horseshoe Falls, make up the popular tourist draw.

“The investigation has determined that this incident was intentional in nature, though the circumstances remain under investigation,” state police said in a news release.

Means and her kids — 9-year-old Roman Rossman and baby Mecca Means — were residents of Niagara Falls.

Authorities are using unmanned aircraft and underwater units in the investigation.

Scary Nights: Mass Shooting In Orlando!

More mass shootings in the United States.

Be warned there will be graphic video and images. Take discretion in viewing.

I normally do a long posting about the failures of Congress, President Joe Biden, former president Donald J. Trump, former president Barack Obama and former president George W. Bush. 

I am just going to flat out say it:

These idiots can't stop gun violence or Israel.

Another mass shooting in the United States and the usual remarks from lawmakers is "thoughts and prayers" or "my heart goes out to."

In the case of how Trump puts it, "we've got to get over it."

I am paraphrasing Trump but that is the shallow theme of his horrible campaign.

Mass shootings so far:
  • New Haven, CT
  • Northglenn, CO
  • Wilmington, DE
  • Dade City, FL
  • Memphis, TN
  • Clarksdale, TN
  • Kalamazoo, MI
  • Redding, CA
  • Corpus Christi (2)
  • Union Springs, AL
  • Durham, NC
  • Fresno, CA
  • McKee's Rocks, PA
  • Waco, TX
  • Montgomery, AL
  • Fall City, WA
  • Jackson, TN
  • Baton Rouge, LA
  • Fort Wayne, IN
  • Albany, GA
  • Lexington, MS
  • Philadelphia, PA
  • Detroit, MI
  • Elberton, GA
  • East Cleveland, OH
  • Nashville, TN
  • Oklahoma City, OK (2)
  • Newberry, SC
  • Kansas City, MO

The last mass shooting that became a part of American history was the deadly Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. Then governor Rick Scott promised he will do something. Still waiting on that something.

Now Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Gov. Ron DeSantis, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and the U.S. House members (including Orlando's district member, Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL)) will react to the latest mass shooting in the city. 

Halloween mass shooting.

Two people are dead and seven others were injured after a shooting in downtown Orlando early Friday as thousands celebrated Halloween, police said.

Police arrested a 17-year-old on suspicion of carrying out the shooting. No motive has been established, and the identities of those killed and injured have not been released. Police said the victims ranged in age from 18 to 39, and the two people who were killed were 19 and 25.

Police said six of the injured were shot and a 26-year-old woman had injuries from being trampled as the crowd fled.

As of 4:45 p.m., four remained hospitalized in stable condition and three people were discharged, Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center said.

Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith said shots were fired just after 1 a.m. at Central Boulevard and Orange Avenue and more shots were fired nearby minutes later.

Police said the suspect, Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, was arrested and taken into custody. He was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm and six counts of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm.

He had previously been arrested on a grand theft charge in 2023, a crime that remains an active investigation.

A night of Halloween fun becomes a deadly moment.

Smith told reporters Friday afternoon that the suspect has not been cooperative with police. Investigators are working to learn how he obtained the gun.

Surveillance video released by Orlando police showed the suspect in a yellow shirt walking in the crowd. He appeared to raise his right hand and open fire. Crowds dispersed in all directions as gunfire rang out, according to the footage. The police video showed an officer knock down the suspect and three others ran to help arrest him.  

Smith said Halloween is one of the city's busiest nights of the year, with crowds between 50,000 to 100,000 people. About 100 police officers were patrolling the area and tackled the shooter soon after the shots were fired, Smith said.

"The officers did a great job. They responded right when they heard the shooting, you know. So everybody else is running. They’re not, they’re sitting in position looking for a shooter. They found a shooter. They took him down," he said.

He said the suspect was determined to carry out the shooting and did not appear put off by the police presence.

"Whatever his mindset was, he was going to shoot no matter what. He walked by multiple officers ... He walked by at least 10 officers, walked directly by them," Smith said.

Orange-Osceola State Attorney Andrew Bain told reporters it is likely the suspect would be charged as an adult as the investigation progresses.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer announced a local state of emergency in Orlando’s downtown entertainment area and enacted a 1 a.m. curfew in the wake of the shooting. For the next seven days there will also be no alcohol sales after midnight.

Dyer said the city had safety measures in place in the downtown area including coordinated entry and weapon screening.

He said changes in the state’s concealed weapons laws have “made it even easier for people to carry guns and bring guns downtown.” Last year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation allowing residents to carry a concealed loaded weapon without a permit.

Be warned images are graphic.




“Honestly, I am frustrated to have to stand in front of you all and again, share the news that we have senselessly lost another life due to gun violence,” Dyer said. 

Near the scene of the shooting Friday morning, downtown workers and pedestrians went about their days without much sign of the violence that occurred hours before. About 10 feet of yellow police tape hung between a parking meter and a nearby business.

Rocio Taylor, 70, who lives about three blocks from where the shooting occurred, said she doesn’t go out past 7 p.m. on the weekends because the bar-and-club scene is too rowdy. She also mentioned the area often hosts festivals and draws a young crowd. Taylor, who works at a wedding dress shop, said she would like to see a bigger police presence.

“It’s Halloween,” she said. “They drink too much alcohol. They go to nightclubs. They’re out of control.”

Orlando Police quickly caught the shooter.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The suspect will be charged as an adult and will face a LIFE in the iron college without a graduation if convicted.

So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

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. 

A 17 year old terrorist. The shooter is in custody.

The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence as well. 

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend’s social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline’s website or the Crisis Text Line’s website.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

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.

Thugger Whistles!

Young Thug is out but on heavy restrictions. He can't be in Atlanta anymore for 10 years.

Jeffrey Williams decided to take a plea deal. The rapper known as Young Thug has decided to negotiate a deal that requires him to rat out his former allies in order to avoid a LIFE sentence in the iron college.

Winners or losers of 2024.

Fox Atlanta has detailed what his obligations are to stay out of the iron college.

The Brief

The Grammy-winning rapper pleaded guilty to several charges, including gang involvement and weapons and drug offenses, without a plea bargain after negotiations failed.

A 40-year sentence was given by the judge, with the first five years commuted to time served, followed by 15 years of probation; any breach could lead to a 20-year imprisonment.

Williams must avoid the Atlanta area for a decade but is required to make anti-violence presentations locally four times a year, contributing to his 100 hours of annual community service.

Young Thug is barred from gang association, except for select individuals with whom he has contractual obligations, and he cannot use gang signifiers; he can travel for work and must undergo random drug testing.

Despite his legal team's disagreement with the prosecution's use of his rap lyrics as evidence and assertion of his innocence, Williams expressed remorse in court, promising to use his influence positively.

He can rap but no more mentions of slime. 

Young Thug must pay all child support to any women who legally claim a child with him.

The 33-year-old Grammy winning artist could not come to terms with prosecutors after negotiations between the two sides broke down, lead prosecutor Adriane Love said. 

"Negotiations totally broke down with the district attorney's office. Horribly broke down," said Brian Steel, Young Thug’s lead attorney, after the hearing.

"We ultimately decided to put our faith in the court rather than in the folks on the other side of the aisle," said Keith Adams, Young Thug’s attorney.

That left the sentence completely up to the judge. 

"A scary feeling for all involved. There's probably no feeling quite like that, other than sitting in a courtroom waiting for a jury to come out," said Steele.

Williams was charged with conspiracy to violate RICO, 2 counts of participation in criminal street gang activity, 3 counts of violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a machine gun. He pleaded guilty toguilty to one gang charge, three drug charges and two gun charges, but also entered a no contest plea to another gang charge and a racketeering conspiracy charge, meaning that he decided not to contest those charges and accepts punishment for them.

The prosecution is asking for 45 years with 25 to serve in prison. The defense is asking for 45 years with 5 to serve in prison, commuted to time served and house arrest for the remainder, and 40 years on probation. The judge was hearing from Love and from defense attorney Brian Steel before making a sentencing decision.

Steel asked the judge to impose a sentence of 45 years with five in prison commuted to time served and 40 years on probation. 

Ultimately, the judge sentenced him to 40 years with the first 5 to be served in prison, but commuted to time served. He will then serve 15 years on probation, with the first half requiring him to report to a probation officer. In addition, he faces 20 years in prison following probation if he is unsuccessful with his probation.

It was not what I wanted. I don't believe that it is just. But I believe that under these circumstances, it is justice for Jeffrey Williams. And he is delighted, as are we. I'm thankful," said Steele.

He must leave the metro Atlanta area 48 hours after he is released and must stay away for the first 10 years of his probation, except for weddings, funerals, graduations or serious illness of family members, the judge said. 

She also ordered him to return to the Atlanta area four times a year during his probation to make a live anti-gang, anti-gun violence presentation at a school or a community organization serving children. She said that can count toward the 100 hours of community service she ordered him to perform each year during probation.

Love had outlined for the judge the evidence she would have presented to prove Young Thug's guilt, including some of his rap lyrics. She asked the judge to sentence him to 45 years, with 25 years in prison and the remaining 20 years on probation.

Steel said they "vehemently disagree" with many of the statements Love made and said it was "offensive" that the state is using Young Thug's lyrics against him.

Steel said the evidence against his client is weak and accused prosecutors of misrepresenting and hiding evidence, saying Young Thug was "falsely accused." Steel said he told his client that he thought they were winning the trial and should go through to a jury verdict.

"But he told me, ‘I can't wait another three months if there is any possibility I could go home because I have children that are hurting. I have things to do,'" Steel said.

Deputies took the rapper from the Fulton County Courthouse back to the Fulton County Jail on Rice Street. Just before 8:30 p.m. Thursday, William’s inmate status in the Fulton County Jail log indicated he was released.

"Both sides gave up something, some more than others. There's a lot of valuations that are really tough to understand. Unless you're sitting in the shoes of the state or of those defendants looking at the conditions, and what's on the table," said Joshua Schiffer, a legal expert and longtime lawyer.

A tremendously successful rapper, Young Thug started his own record label, Young Stoner Life or YSL. Prosecutors have said he also co-founded a violent criminal street gang and that YSL stands for Young Slime Life. 

He was charged two years ago in a sprawling indictment accusing him and more than two dozen other people of conspiring to violate Georgia's anti-racketeering law. He also was charged with gang, drug and gun crimes. 

Young Thug's plea comes nearly a year after the prosecution began presenting evidence in the problem-plagued trial. Jury selection at the courthouse in Atlanta began in January 2023 and took nearly 10 months. The trial of six defendants began with opening statements last November, and prosecutors since then have called dozens of witnesses.

Pastries! 🍩🍪🥧🍰🎂

Voters could elect the first African American woman as president? 

Okay.

Vote.

Vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

We Are Not Going Back!

Okay, I am going to endorse Kamala Harris for president. I am not going lie, I was not thrilled at the time because of President Joe Biden's stance on Israel. I've took time to realize that our country must heal and end the divisiveness of MAGAland. 

Former president Donald J. Trump is a threat to democracy. He is extremely reckless and incompetent to our ways of life.

He is the very definition of white privilege.

Harris is willing to listen. That's why she is getting a lot of protesters. I mean they would be in danger if they tried it at a Trump rally.

Once the election is over, I won't be flooded by text messages, emails, campaign ads, endless drivel of who is good and who is bad.

One of these individuals will become the 47th President of the United States.

Defeat the apartheid Israel.

FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸!

So while we prepare for the month of November, we are only four days from the 2024 U.S. elections. The final days for both Harris and Trump to make their case to the undecided voters.

Hurricanes destroy parts of the South and millions are unemployed.

Of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the jobs report details how many jobs were spread across the United States. Some areas seen job growth while others saw job losses.

Job creation in October slowed to its weakest pace since late 2020 as the impacts of storms in the Southeast and a significant labor impasse dented the employment picture.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 12,000 for the month, down sharply from September and below the Dow Jones estimate for 100,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. In what had already been expected to be a downbeat report, October posted the smallest gain since December 2020.

The unemployment rate, however, held at 4.1%, in line with expectations. A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also was unchanged at 7.7%.

In the report narrative, the BLS noted that the Boeing strike likely subtracted 44,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector, which lost 46,000 positions overall.

Along with that, the report noted the impact of hurricanes Helene and Milton but said “it is not possible to quantify the net effect” of the storms on the jobs total.

Elsewhere, the bureau said average hourly earnings increased 0.4% for the month, slightly higher than the estimate, though the 4% 12-month gain was in line. The average workweek held steady at 34.3 hours.

Markets, though, largely ignored the bad news, with stock market futures poised for a strong open on Wall Street while Treasury yields plunged. The meager jobs numbers along with wages about in line with expectations help cement another interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve next week.

“At first glance, October’s jobs report paints a picture of growing fragility in the U.S. labor market, but under the surface is a muddy report roiled by climate and labor disruptions,” said Cory Stahle, an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab. “While the impacts of these events are real and should not be ignored, they are likely temporary and not a signal of a collapsing job market.”

The release comes just days ahead of the presidential election in which Harris and Trump are in what most polls show to be a deadlocked race. With the economy at the forefront of the battle, the light jobs number “casts a murky shadow heading into next week,” said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS.

The weak October report also included substantial downward revisions from previous months. August was cut to just a gain of 78,000 while September’s initial estimate came down to 223,000. Together, the net revisions lowered previously reported job creation totals by 112,000.

Israel has killed over 200,000 people in its evil expansion and genocide.

Health care and government again led job creation, respectively adding 52,000 and 40,000 positions. Several sectors, though, saw job losses.

In addition to the expected pullback in manufacturing, temporary help services saw a drop of 49,000. The category is sometimes seen as a proxy for underlying job strength and has seen a decline of 577,000 since March 2022, the BLS said.

Another leading sector, leisure and hospitality, saw a drop of 4,000, while retail trade and transportation and warehousing also reported modest declines.

In the household survey, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate, the hiring numbers were even weaker.

That showed 368,000 fewer people reported holding jobs and the labor force contracting by 220,000. Full-time employment declined by 164,000, while part-timers fell by 227,000.

The report covers a month in which hurricanes Helene and Milton slammed the Southeast – Florida and North Carolina in particular – while the Boeing strike also hit what had been a vibrant though slowing labor market. Recent developments indicate that the Boeing impasse could be near an end.

As a result, policymakers in September took a step unprecedented for a growing economy and lowered their benchmark short-term interest rate by half a percentage point, double the customary quarter-point increments in which the Fed usually likes to move.

The current president, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He will serve one term and now in his lame duck term, his job approval is rising.

Beyonce endorsed Harris.

The junk food media is ignoring the accomplishments. Biden is facing blowback from his support of Israel, the constant mention of Republican rival former president Donald J. Trump and the repeated campaign to tarnish his son Hunter.

You know the junk food media ain't talking about Hunter Biden or Biden corruption now that he exited the race. Sean "Softball" Hannity, Megyn Kelly, Elon Musk, Bill O'Reilly, Mark Levin, Fox, Breitbart are more concerned about Harris laughing, her Blackness, calling MAGA garbage and this made up border czar nonsense.

Trump is still telling Americans that if he doesn't win, there will be all out war. He still is telling the world that if he gets in he will finish what he started.

Republicans still can't govern in the House of Representatives. They are pushing authoritarianism in states they have control of. They are banning swatting, honing and regulations on testing. But when it comes to firearms, they refuse to do something.

Republicans are using dog whistles when talking about Harris, Israel, crime, immigration and gun violence.

1. Hamas are terrorist to Israel and the United States. Those who support Hamas or defend their actions are labeled terrorist sympathizers, antisemitic, traitors, unpatriotic, radicals or whatever they conjure up.

2. Gun violence is the No. 1 threat to children and adults. When gun violence happen in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Detroit and Baltimore, a Republican lawmaker wants to blame gun violence on Democratic mayors instead of the Congress.

3. Immigration is right now at record lows. The world views the U.S. as a hostile country and migrants from the Global South are beginning to ban American influence. They fear a Trump presidency could cause instability. Republicans are pushing for border closures, border/segregation walls, mass deportations, elimination of birthright citizenship, end of legal rights to Americans married to immigrants and push for English only. They also want to ban immigrants or student visas. They want to deport any immigrant who protest Israel or Trump.

4. Crime is at record lows. But property theft is up. Shoplifting, the Kia/Hyundai challenge, gun violence, white collar crimes and cybertheft have occurred. But again its racial dog whistles. Many corporations are getting away with greed and theft of wages. Many Americans are tired of paying more for less product. Kia and Hyundai are still facing criticism over this Kia Boyz nonsense. Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Wexman are on their last legs. Walmart, Target and Kroger are closing stores in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. Republicans are pushing for more mandatory sentences for theft. Democrats want to push for regulations on shrinkflation and theft of wages. Republicans oppose overtime and regulations to keep corporations from raising product prices.

Jennifer Lopez endorsed Harris.

Republicans want political revenge. Trump wants to jail his rivals. He may get that wish if he does return to power. This is not a joke. We ignored the threats in 2016 and 2020. It seems like we are going to do this again.

Do not assume that every place has jobs. Companies are closing up shop. The tech industry, retail, trucking and press are laying off workers. The service industry is continuing to suffer due to stagnant wages, lack of achievements and work overload.

Also, housing is still down. More Americans can't afford rent or car payments.

AIPAC has poured money into many of these primaries. It openly bragged that its choices which were Democrats and Republicans beating their challengers.

House members passed a bill to define antisemitism in attempt to suppress freedom of speech. The insufferable House of Representatives in a bipartisan moment are trying to criminalize thought and dissent.

They are now trying to outlaw any criticism of Israel as hate speech which could be punishable by sanctions, divestment or allowing companies to terminate employment of anyone who dares criticizes Israel.

Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.

The Congress has less work than most Americans. It is infuriating that the average worker works more 50 hours a week while 157 House members and 36 senators work on average of 25 hours a week.

Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the president and vice president. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.

To make this clear, it doesn't matter anymore who the fucking president is. Biden, Harris, Trump, Tim Walz, J.D. Vance, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Nicole Shanahan are backing Israel over the world. They are so out of touch with reality.

Yet, I would back Harris over Jill Stein, Butch Ware, Cornel West, Melina Abdullah, Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat.

Whoever becomes the next president will be inheriting a strong economy but a very divided country.

Tim Walz is getting more media coverage.

Holding Biden accountable for his actions doesn't mean a lockstep vote and support.

I. Am. Calling. Him. Out. 

Biden will end his presidency as an advocate of war and genocide. He was tone deaf and unfortunately a lost cause.

What pisses me off is our lawmakers are calling protesters "Hamas supporters" to paint peaceful protests as an act of "terrorism." Their reactionary response to anger over America's support of Israel will lead to our standing with the world. 

With billions of dollars of aid going to Israel, you would think that American lawmakers would have our taxpayer money spent on more useful things!

The lawmakers will spend more taxpayer money to fix our crumbling infrastructure. Hell we still have the aftermaths of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Over 1,500 people have died from those horrible hurricanes.

Many of these Republicans who vote against funding the government and assistance for some of America's less fortunate are willing to give billions to a foreign nation engaged in an illegal act of genocide. Same with Democrats. They claim they want to protect democracy but endorse a fascist government sworn to being an ethnostate on our taxpayer dime.

Monthly reminders: 

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in. However, there is always a catch to working entry level jobs that make over $20 an hour. Folks must work hours that do not accommodate home and social life, it may only be part time work or temporary. Some jobs may force overtime or refuse to pay for work rendered. With unions being weaken by states, it may be an at-will company. So if you are on social media, protesting injustices, supporting controversial issues or making threats to local officials; you could lose your job.

Real Reasons To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is! The main reasons why some are not working.

  1. DEAD
  2. BORN
  3. IN PRISON
  4. IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
  5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
  6. IN HIGH SCHOOL
  7. IN COLLEGE FULL TIME
  8. VOLUNTEER
  9. DISABLED
  10. INFLATION
  11. STAY AT HOME PARENT
  12. LACK OF TRANSPORTATION OR BABYSITTING
  13. RETIRED 
  14. QUIT ON THEIR OWN
  15. TERMINATED FROM EMPLOYMENT 
  16. NOT HIRING UNQUALIFIED
  17. NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED
  18. ACTIVE MILITARY
  19. NATURAL DISASTERS
  20. MASS SHOOTINGS DISRUPTING DAILY ROUTINE
  21. RACISM
  22. WAGE THEFT
  23. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ON JOB POSTING BUT DECEPTION UPON HIRING
  24. BEING LAID OFF DUE TO CLOSING OR STAFF REDUCTION

  26. OUTSOURCING JOBS TO OTHER STATES OR COUNTRIES
  27. BEING UNDOCUMENTED IN FEAR OF I.C.E. OR U.S. AGENCIES
  28. BEING PUBLICLY OUTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA DOING SHAMEFUL ACTS
  29. PARTICIPATING IN UNCIVIL OR VIOLENT PROTESTS
  30. PUBLICLY SUPPORTING OR PROTESTING AGAINST ISRAEL

Jobs are looking good despite fears.

Companies are cautious about hiring employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.

Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.

Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.

We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus, gun violence and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

J.D. Vance is fizzling out.

Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.

Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

Trump's presidency and Republican controlled governments are incompetent. Their leadership has killed millions of Americans. Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Tony Hinchcliffe may have cost Trump the election.

They are feeling it. Democrats know the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies. They know that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are under extreme pressure to do something. Some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters have vowed to never back Harris putting her election chances in danger.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

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.
