Morgan Lofting Passed Away!

The voice of G.I. Joe villainess The Barnoness, Morgan Lofting passed away.

I just found out that a longtime voice actress best known for playing an iconic villain in a popular animated series. I grew up an 80s baby.

Television was at it best then. You had Saturday Morning Cartoons, weekday syndicated cartoons, children television programs like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Saved by the Bell, Punky Brewster, Square One, Goosebumps and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?

I was always happy to get out of school to get home and watch television.

Republicans and Democrats in Congress passed the Children's Television Act which regulated television and mandated educational programs were added to lineups. The law reduced the toy, cereal and fast food advertising. It also advocated for more college sports and paid advertising in slots. 

NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and The CW would eventually end Saturday Morning Cartoons and weekday animation. Now you can watch cartoons on Cartoon Network, Max, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+, MeTV Toons, Adult Swim, Nickelodeon and PlutoTV.

Reality based education programs are now on all over the air networks including My Network TV and Ion.

Morgan Lofting was an American actress best known for her voiceover performance as Baroness in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.

Women admired Lofting as a strong female character.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Morgan got into acting around 1979 and became a favorite in the G.I. Joe/Transformers cannon.

Lofting died unexpectedly Wednesday at her home in Burbank, her agents Nery Lemus and Christopher Arsaga of CelebWorx announced. “As one of the 10 founding actors at our agency, she meant the world to us and our company,” they said in a statement. 

The voice actress also portrayed Aunt May and the Black Cat for a 1981-82 Spider-Man series and Moonracer and Firestar for a 1985 Transformers series, and she did voice work on the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring Total Recall (1990), too.

Lofting came up with a European accent for the dark-haired Baroness, a sexy master of disguise and expert in weapons and hand-to-hand combat who sported black-rimmed eyeglasses and a tight black leather outfit.

She voiced the terrorist in G.I. Joe miniseries in 1983, ’84 and ’89; for four seasons of two series that aired in 1985-86 and 1990-91; in the 1986 TV movie G.I. Joe: Arise, Serpentor, Arise!; and in 1987’s straight-to-video G.I. Joe: The Movie.

A post shared by Morgan Lofting (@morganloftingactor)

Her co-star Mike Bell joked that there was “blood on the control room window” after she would shout “Cobraaaa!” she recalled in a 2017 interview.

During that chat, she expressed amazement that the shows she worked on years ago still resonated.

“You take your money, and you go home, and then 30 years later someone says, ‘Hi, I want you to meet my spouse and my children, and you were so important to me when I was growing up,’” she said. “You begin to realize that these characters help people through their lives.”

Born in Cincinnati on Feb. 2, 1940, Lofting also appeared on four episodes of the CBS primetime soap Knots Landing in 1986-87 and in the 1988 film The Night Before, starring Keanu Reeves and Lori Loughlin.

In 1989, she went back to college to finish her bachelor’s degree and then earned her master’s in history at Cal State Northridge. She later found a love of “bartending with books,” as she called it, as a librarian.

She returned to voice acting in 2013 by playing the former villain Fistina on Ben 10: Omniverse. 

Survivors include her brother, Tim, his wife, Lynn, and their son, Brian; her son, Justin, and his wife, Stacie; and her grandchildren, Zac and Ellie.

Syria's Bashar Al-Assad Falls Thanks To F**king Israel!

Syrian rebels oust Bashar al-Assad and wife Asma from power. Israel invades Syria and we are officially in World War III.

World War III.

Syria has fallen to American and Israeli backed opposition forces.

Israel is by far the cause of instability in the Middle East, North Africa and East Asia. The country once again used its illegal clandestine groups to oust leaders they don't like. 

The colonialist agenda from Israel is to seize land and enhance a religious ethnostate through force. They also weaponized antisemitism and are trying to avoid accountability for its illegal crimes against humanity.

Israel must fall. For the world to have stability and peace, Israel must not exist under its current government. Israel cannot exist as "the Jewish state."

This goes against the U.S. declaration that our country should never be using religion as a weapon or a form of government. 

Israel is the exact opposite of American democracy. 

We cannot allow this country to force American and British military intervention.

Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, the West Bank, Egypt, the Gaza Strip and Iraq are part of this expansion proposal of Israel. Project 2025 and Greater Israel are top priorities of the incoming U.S. president and current Israeli regime prime minister.

With the assistance of the U.S., we are officially entering global war.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance were informed of the instability and collapse of the Syrian government.

Israeli regime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, France president Emanuel Macron, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Jordan's King Abdullah II were notified as well.

Bashar al-Assad has officially been ousted in a coup d'etat. 

Assad is a Syrian politician and former military officer who served as the 19th president of Syria from July 2000 until his overthrow in December 2024. As president, Assad was the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Armed Forces and the secretary-general of the Central Command of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party. He was the son of Hafez al-Assad, who was the president from 1971 until his death in 2000.

Rebels ousted longtime leader Assad.

Assad reportedly departed Damascus in a private aircraft for an undisclosed location amid rapidly deteriorating security conditions in the capital, according to two senior Syrian army officials. At the same time, Syrian residents reported hearing chants of Allahu Akbar ("God is great") and heavy gunfire across Damascus. Senior military officers later confirmed Assad's departure from Damascus International Airport, after which government troops stationed at the facility were dismissed from their posts.

According to Rami Abdel Rahman (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights), Bashar al-Assad had "left Syria via Damascus international airport".

First Lady Asma al-Assad relocated to Russia along with the couple's three children approximately one week before opposition forces began their advance toward Damascus. Concurrent reports indicated that members of Assad's extended family, including relatives from his sister's lineage, took refuge in the United Arab Emirates. In the days prior to the opposition's advance, Egyptian and Jordanian officials were reported to have urged Bashar al-Assad to leave the country and develop a government in exile, although the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the Jordanian embassy denied doing so.

Following the departures of members of the Assad family, videos showing groups of people entering and exploring inside Bashar al-Assad’s empty residence in al-Maliki were circulated online.

Assad’s exit stood in stark contrast to his first months as Syria’s unlikely president in 2000, when many hoped he would be a young reformer after three decades of his father’s iron grip. Only 34 years old, the Western-educated ophthalmologist appeared as a geeky tech-savvy fan of computers with a gentle demeanor.

Israel has invaded Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank and Iraq.

But when faced with protests against his rule that erupted in March 2011, Assad turned to the brutal tactics of his father in an attempt to crush dissent. As the uprising hemorrhaged into an outright civil war, he unleashed his military to blast opposition-held cities, with support from allies Iran and Russia.

International rights groups and prosecutors alleged widespread use of torture and extrajudicial killings in Syria’s government-run detention centers. The war has killed nearly half a million people and displaced half of the country’s prewar population of 23 million.

The conflict appeared to be frozen in recent years, with Assad’s government regaining control of most of Syria’s territory while the northwest remained under the control of opposition groups and the northeast under Kurdish control.

Although Damascus remained under crippling Western sanctions, neighboring countries had begun to resign themselves to Assad’s continued hold on power. The Arab League reinstated Syria’s membership last year, and Saudi Arabia in May announced the appointment of its first ambassador since severing ties with Damascus 12 years ago.

However, the geopolitical tide turned quickly when opposition groups in northwest Syria in late November launched a surprise offensive. Government forces quickly collapsed while Assad’s allies, preoccupied by other conflicts — Russia’s war in Ukraine and the yearlong wars between Israel and the Iran-backed militant groups Hezbollah and Hamas — appeared reluctant to forcefully intervene.

The U.S. backing of Israel has lead to world leaders denouncing Biden and Trump as weak leaders.

Winners and losers of 2024.

TikTok Will Not Sell Out!

TikTok will take its fight for free speech to the U.S. Supreme Court.

What cost President Joe Biden his reelection and Vice President Kamala Harris her election was their support for banning TikTok.

AIPAC and the Anti-Defamation League pushed for a bipartisan law to force TikTok to divest its foreign ownership to U.S. companies or face a ban.

Many see it as an attack on free speech and a campaign to suppress information about the genocide conducted by Israel.

The president and Congress claim that the Chinese government is likely to get into the privacy data of users. TikTok U.S. said it's not true and the noise is lying about how the company operates.

Thanks to Biden, voters elected President-elect Donald J. Trump. He hired South African/Canadian/British/American Elon Musk to be in his administration.

Musk owns X (formerly Twitter). It promotes disinformation, pornography, hate speech, deceptive advertising, privacy data sharing, easy hacking and graphic content. And yet, Congress has not force any divestment or sell of X to companies.

Foreign companies own oil, hospitals, grocers and vehicles. What is the big deal?

Musk, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Apple's Tim Cook are supporters of Israel.

China, India, Israel, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Russia and South Korea are notorious for suppressing information.

The U.S. backing of Israel has lead to world leaders denouncing Biden and Trump as weak leaders.

Forcing TikTok to sell its brand from ByteDance is not only illegal but an attack on freedom of speech, commerce, trade and consumer interest.

Trump at one time tried to ban TikTok because of Israel and the attacks on his presidency. He changed his mind and supported creators.

Small business owners and creators rely on TikTok to share. They make a living on it and feel that if the company sells out, it may regulate how content is shared.

The social media company had hoped a federal appeals court would agree with its argument that the law was unconstitutional because it represented a "staggering" impact on the free speech of its 170 million US users.

But the court upheld the law, which it said "was the culmination of extensive, bipartisan action by the Congress and by successive presidents".

TikTok says it will now take its fight to the U.S. Supreme Court, the country's highest legal authority.

The U.S. wants TikTok sold or banned because of what it says are its owners links to the Chinese state - links TikTok and parent company Bytedance have always denied.

The court agreed the law was "carefully crafted to deal only with control by a foreign adversary, and it was part of a broader effort to counter a well-substantiated national security threat posed by the PRC (People's Republic of China)."

But TikTok said it was not the end of its legal fight.

"The Supreme Court has an established historical record of protecting Americans' right to free speech, and we expect they will do just that on this important constitutional issue," a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement.

They added that the law was based on "inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information" and a ban would censor U.S. citizens.

We Warned You About Him!

John Fetterman is looking at Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin.

Y'all voted for this.

Black women will always be proven right!

Back in 2022, white leftists were boosting then Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman to be the Democratic senate nominee over Conor Lamb and Malcolm Kenyatta.

They saw him as the blue collar Bernie Sanders. Turns out that now as a U.S. senator, their dreams of having a progressive Pennsylvania senator was all a fraud.

I supported Lamb because he was suitable for the job. Unfortunately, the progressives saw Fetterman as the goatee, hoodie wearing, frequently cussing, heavily tatted Sherek looking guy as the choice.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Sen. David McCormick (R-PA) will serve in 2025.

Senator Bob Casey, Jr. was defeated because of his support of Israel, the Trump assassination attempt and not putting up a fight against disinformation.

Fetterman was a big reason. The Pennsylanian senator's embracing of Donald J. Trump's savvy politics, Israel and insults towards protesters as well as Arab American voters cost Casey, Sherrod Brown, Jon Tester and Kamala Harris their election bids.

White leftists elected a lawmaker who is replacing Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin.

Fetterman would have lost if Trump didn't back Mehmet Oz. Any other candidate, even Kathy Barnette would have defeated Fetterman.

Oz was too polarizing. 

Fetterman won by claiming he was a progressive. Even though his stroke, allegations of infidelity, his chasing down a Black man with a firearm and his hoodie, the voters picked him.

Now he has become a thorn in President Joe Biden's agenda. He is a staunch supporter of Israel, shared racist memes, insulted progressive women of color and shows signs of leaving the party to become an independent.

Come 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election, Democrats see Fetterman, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) as the most vulnerable members.

Fetterman said he will back most of President-elect Donald J. Trump's nominees despite the controversy surrounding them.

He also has embraced the terrorist attack conducted by Israel on Lebanon.

In mid-September, Israel conducted a deliberate attack on innocent people. The country sabotaged electronic devices. They placed explosives inside them killing over 300 people and injuring thousands.

Fetterman thought it was genius to conduct a terrorist attack. 

Folks, the Democrats must end the rules of engagement. They need to kick out the filth. End their support of Israel, stop pandering to win votes, embrace embarrassments and stop trying to be friends with MAGAland.

Blue MAGA is a threat too. Because they are too cozy with religion, apartheid, income inequality and racism.

Fetterman represents this. It will be our downfall come the next election.

Keeping him is not productive. Having to defend him whenever he does stupid shit is getting tiring. I will not embrace Democrats who attack our own.

We need to reevaluate how to win voters.

The Hodgetwins And The Duke!

The Twins and the Duke. Racial extremists put aside their differences for the cult of Trump.

Y'all voted for this.

Y'all enabled this.

And there's no need to get upset over it. You had an opportunity to shut down the far right grifting and exploitation. You voted for a convicted felon to be our president.

Anything goes.

We Interviewed KKK Grand Wizard David Duke https://t.co/tu7twstwKb

— Hodgetwins (@hodgetwins) December 6, 2024

The Hodgetwins are Black MAGAland agitators. They are the brothers who were left out of the cookout.

Keith and Kevin Hodge, 50 are twin brothers who appear on YouTube as the ConservativeTwins and promote their comedy on the Hodgetwins podcast.

Grown up in Martinville, Virginia, the two became Republicans after an awakening. Disillusioned by former president Barack Obama, the two became fierce supporters of the man defined as white privilege.

The Hodge twins are vocal conservatives, and have over three million subscribers on their Conservative Twins YouTube channel. The twins are Donald J. Trump supporters, and appeared on Trump's Real News Update webcast. They oppose the Black Lives Matter political and social movement.

Two of the most shared Facebook posts about the George Floyd protests originated from the Hodge twins. They are frequent guests on conservative comedian Steven Crowder's various programs.

Some claims the twins have made about President Joe Biden and Black Lives Matter have been deemed as false by fact-checkers. A venue canceled one of their shows after the Hodgetwins posted a video to their YouTube account making fun of a transgender woman. The venue owner stated that the reason for the cancellation was because "[they] don't tolerate transphobia."

Their latest shock was interviewing former Klan leader and avowed white rights agitator David Duke.

Duke, 74 who is known as the suit and tie of white nationalism often associates with extremists like Tom Tancredo, Steve King, Nick Fuentes, Derek Black, Richard Spencer, Jared Taylor and Pat Buchanan.

Duke defines himself as a "pro white" American who views the U.S. as a pool of breeds that undermine the livelihood of white America.

He opposes Israel. That is mostly because he believes that the "Jewish Lobby" is corrupting Trump and future white leaders. He is strongly "America first."

What gets me is the fact that he is still alive?

Cold Treats! 🍨🍧🍦

Cordial. Biden and Trump's feud simmers.

FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸!

I've decided to carry on. I want the incoming president to fail once again. 

And I am not ashamed to say it.

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 November rebounded from a near-standstill the prior month as the effects of a significant labor strike and violent storms in the Southeast receded, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 227,000 for the month, compared to an upwardly revised 36,000 in October and the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 214,000.

The unemployment rate, however, edged higher to 4.2%, as expected. The unemployment rate rose as the labor force participation rate edged lower and the labor force itself declined. A broader measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons edged higher to 7.8%.

Job gains were focused in health care (54,000), leisure and hospitality (53,000) and government (33,000), sectors that have consistently led payroll growth for the past few years.

At the same time, retail trade saw a decline of 28,000 heading into the holiday season. With Thanksgiving coming later than usual this year, some stores may have held off hiring.

Worker pay continued to rise, with average hourly earnings up 0.4% from a month ago and 4% on a 12-month basis. Both numbers were 0.1 percentage point above expectations.

Stock market futures edged higher after the report while Treasury yields were lower.

The report comes with questions over the state of the labor market and how that will impact Federal Reserve decisions on interest rates.

Traders accelerated their bets on a rate cut following the payrolls release, with market-implied odds rising above 88% for a quarter percentage point reduction. when central bank policymakers make their next decision on Dec. 18.

Earlier this week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the generally strong state of the economy affords him and his colleagues the ability to be patient when making interest rate decisions. Other officials have said they see additional interest rate cuts as being likely but subject to changes in the economic data.

While inflation is well off the boil from its 40-year high in mid-2022, recent months have shown prices drifting up. At the same time, the October jobs report and various other reports have pointed to a labor market that is still growing but slowing.

Russian woman living in New York snuck on a flight to Paris. It exposed a lapse in airport security. Svetlana Dali made the TSA look like fools.

The survey of households, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate, painted a similar picture as the establishment survey that provides the headline payrolls count.

According to the BLS, household employment rose by 174,000 on the month even as the labor force contracted by 193,000. The labor force participation rate, which measures the share of the working-age population either at work or looking for a job, declined to 62.5%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point.

The peaceful transition of power. 

President Joe Biden had greeted rival President-elect Donald J. Trump in November after his victory against Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. 

Trump and Ohio senator J.D. Vance will take charge on Jan. 20, 2025.

In a few weeks, we celebrate Christmas and the official day for all members of the House and Senate to end session is Dec. 21. 

The Congress session 118th ends on a sour note. Little accomplishments.

The Republicans will take control of Congress in the 119th Session. 

House members and Senate members.

220 Republicans and 215 Democrats.

53 Republicans and 45 Democrats (2 independents).

Vice President Kamala Harris will swear in the new members and Vance. 

Vance will resign soon and Ohio governor Mike DeWine will announce a replacement in January.

Trump will be the first convicted felon to be president. He is also a former president who was twice impeached. He will be the oldest president.

At age 78, he will take charge. 

Biden was 77 when he became president.

Trump is also a sexual predator. He was found liable in federal court for sexually abusing E. Jean Caroll. He also must pay the state of New York over $250 million for fraud.

He will have his Georgia election fraud trial postponed indefinitely. 

Trump's federal criminal cases are withdrawn due to the Supreme Court's controversial decision allowing presidential immunity. Since Trump won, it prevents Jack Smith from continuing his criminal cases against him.

Trump took classified documents, interference with the peaceful transfer of power and instigated an insurrection. It didn't matter to voters.

The issues that hurt Biden and Harris were the economy, immigration and Israel. But also ageism, sexism, racism, misinformation and smear tactics.

Many are still shocked that Harris lost. But her support for Israel and not fighting dirty cost her dearly.

The Democrats played too nice. They thought large rallies and a big bank would convince voters. They lost swing states thanks to Biden's refusal to end aid to Israel.

Arab American voters swung to Trump. They are already disappointed with the incoming president because of his cozy relationship with Israeli regime figures Benjamin Netanyahu and Issac Herzog.

Trump also disappointed Black supporters by picking only one to lead Housing and Urban Development.

Trump has already roadblocks with Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Linda McMahon and Kash Patel. They will face a possible Senate challenge.

Marco Rubio, Elise Stefanik and Michael Waltz will get confirmed with some Democrats supporting it.

Jaime Harrison will step down after the losses setting up a civil war for who will lead the party post Biden.

Biden is not giving two fucks. He has pardoned his son Hunter despite saying he wouldn't. The Republicans and some Democrats are mad about it. But progressives are pleased and vow that they will no longer back Democrats who cave to Israel and Trumpism.

American politics have also focused on responses to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas which started in the year prior, particularly the protests on college campuses against Israel, recent developments in abortion policy, and the passing of a law that could potentially ban TikTok.

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

Nancy Mace spent a majority of November complaining about Sarah McBride.

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

1. Hamas are terrorists 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.

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.

Sarah McBride is the first transwoman to serve in Congress. 

Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the media, Democrats and former Republicans. 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. 

The status quo continues with political charades, support of Israel and endless culture war grievances.

Trump will be inheriting a strong economy but a very divided country.

Holding Biden and Trump accountable for their actions will continue.

I. Am. Calling. Them. Out. 

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

Brian Thompson was the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. His assassination became news in 2024.

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

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
25. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY OR PROPRETY
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

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.

Trump and Sarah Netanyahu.

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.

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. 

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.

Democrats found out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

Will someone stop this evil creature? 

Biden and Harris failed at understanding what is more important to the country. 

Their support of Israel made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.

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.

Dr. Kelly Powers Passed Away!

Fox personality Dr. Kelly Powers passed away from brain cancer.

Fox announced the passing of a medical commentator who appeared on the fa right network and Fox Business.

Dr. Kelly Powers has died following a battle with glioblastoma brain cancer. She was 45.

The native New Yorker died on Sunday in New Jersey, according to an online obituary published by Holmdel Funeral Home, where visitation will take place on Thursday. Powers spent her recent years living in Colts Neck with her family.

“She was a brave and beautiful soul who could make friends anywhere she went,” the obituary reads. “Kelly had a love for people and she was dedicated to helping others. … Kelly was an accomplished doctor and surgeon who held several spotlights on TV and magazines. Most important to her was her family.”

Born May 13, 1979 in Yonkers, Powers attended Baruch College in New York City before training at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. From there, she earned a master’s in science from the University of San Francisco, and participated in residency programs at Georgetown and Boston University.

Her final days in hospice.

Powers went on to make frequent appearances as a medical expert on Fox and Fox Business, as well as CNN, NBC and CBS.

In 2020, the doctor was diagnosed with glioblastoma, described as one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. She appeared to have won her battle after having a tumor successfully removed, but the cancer returned at some point this year, according to her friend and Fox media colleague Cheryl Casone.

Powers is survived by her husband, Steven Doll, and their young son Bennett.

A funeral service will be held on Friday at 11 a.m. at Tower Hill Church in Red Bank, N.J.

MAGAland Big Mad At Joni Ernst For No Reason!

A survivor of sexual assault with a man who was found liable for sexual assault. Ah, the Republican Party, the political party of shamelessness.

Y'all voted for this.

The Republicans already trying to destroy one another. Predictable.

The folks of MAGAland are mad that Republicans in the Senate may not confirm former Fox personality Pete Hegseth to the Secretary of Defense.

Hegseth has allegations of sexually predatory behavior and alcoholism.

The agitator denies it. But he also has ties to the Zionists. So obviously Israel got dirt on him as well as many of President-elect Donald J. Trump's cabinet picks.

Obviously, Tulsi Gabbard, Linda McMahon, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Kash Patel and Hegseth will face a possible challenge getting confirmed.

They are idiots.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) is a former lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army. She served the Senate since 2015. She is a survivor of sexual assault. 

Ironic, Ernst supports the president-elect, a convicted felon and sexual predator 

She is a plan C if Hegseth withdraws his nomination. Trump is considering former rival, Florida governor Ron DeSantis if the nomination fails.

MAGAland is not having it with Ernst.

Ernst backed Nikki Haley in the primary before Trump. She also backs Zionists.

Israel has dirt on her as well.

Ernst said Thursday she isn't ready to support Hegseth. Cue the outrage.

"Well, I did have a very long, lengthy discussion with Pete yesterday, and I do appreciate his service to the nation. I also am a combat veteran. So, we talked about a number of those issues, and we will continue with the vetting process. I think that is incredibly important," Ernst told Fox News. "So, again, all I'm saying is we had a very frank and productive discussion, and I know that we will continue to have conversations for months."

Pressed by host Bill Hemmer that it "doesn't sound in your answer that you got to a yes," Ernst replied, "I think you are right."

Hegseth continues to make the rounds on Capitol Hill to try to convince senators that he's up to the job amid allegations of sexual misconduct, alcohol abuse and mismanagement of finances. He denies the allegations.

He met Wednesday with Ernst, a key Republican member of the Armed Services committee.

Upon leaving the meeting, Hegseth told reporters that he and Ernst had an "engaging and instructive conversation."

Ernst later posted, "I appreciate Pete Hegseth's service to our country, something we both share. Today, as part of the confirmation process, we had a frank and thorough conversation."

ABC News has previously reported Ernst to be on a growing list of candidates emerging to possibly replace Hegseth as Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense.

The Republicans have to lose four for this nomination to tank.

When asked Wednesday if there was any chance she was being considered to replace Hegseth, she merely responded, "Mr. Hegseth is the nominee." She was tight-lipped over whether their meeting alleviated any concerns she might have.

Ernst is the first female combat veteran in the Senate. She also has a long record of supporting legislation aimed at addressing sexual assault and harassment in the military, and has been outspoken about her own experiences with sexual assault, rape, and domestic violence.

Notably, Hegseth has said that women should not serve in combat roles in the military, and he continues to face his own allegations of sexual misconduct and impropriety.

Hegseth has denied the sexual assault allegations. On Wednesday, he told the Megyn Kelly show "absolutely not" in regards to rape accusations, and he denied many of the claims that he mistreated women.

All eyes will be on Ernst as Hegseth's confirmation process plays out. Last month, Ernst told ABC News that an FBI background check into Hegseth would be "helpful."

In an interview with Bloomberg News in 2019, Ernst first disclosed the details of her rape as a college student at Iowa State University, in which she tearfully retold being in a "physically and sexually abusive" relationship with someone who raped her.

During her college years, she volunteered at a safe house for battered and abused women and children.

While speaking to Bloomberg, Ernst also alleged that her ex-husband, Gail Ernst, had physically abused her in an incident in which he "grabbed [her] by the throat" before he "threw [her]" on the ground and "pounded [her] head." Gail Ernst declined to comment on the allegations at the time.

Ernst also claimed to have endured sexual harassment in the military, which she described to Time Magazine in 2014.

"I had comments, passes, things like that," Ernst said. "These were some things where I was able to say stop and it simply stopped but there are other circumstances both for women and for men where they don't stop and they may be afraid to report it."

"Sexual assault has no place in our military -- or anywhere else -- and it's far past time we take more steps toward preventing and reducing these heart-wrenching crimes," Ernst said in a statement after introducing a bipartisan bill in 2021 to prevent military sexual assault.

Ernst was a member of Iowa State University's ROTC program at 20 years old before joining the U.S. Army Reserve. She later served as a company commander of an Iowa National Guard transportation unit in Kuwait.

She spent 23 years in the National Guard and Army Reserve and retired as a lieutenant colonel.

Ernst has been vocal about her support for Trump, despite him also having been accused of sexual assault by multiple women -- which he has repeatedly denied. Ernst was even a contender to be his running mate in the 2016 election.

"I would encourage women to stand up and say, 'You know what, I'm not going to put up with his nonsense, but I do agree with him on this policy,'" Ernst said in a 2016 interview with WHO. "Sometimes we have to look beyond certain aspects of a person and figure out do we agree."

She also told Bloomberg that it was "outrageous to suggest that anyone who has been the victim of sexual assault should therefore be a Hillary Clinton supporter."

Ernst became the first woman to represent Iowa in either house of Congress when she was elected to the Senate in 2014.

Tennessee Republican Wets Himself During DUI Arrest!

A known Tennessee state senator busted for DUI in Georgia.

Y'all voted for this.

No one is perfect. We don't all live in glass houses. I am not one to judge a person's life outside the cameras.

If he was endorsed by President-elect Donald J. Trump, he will likely be reelected. The Republican Party has no standards in how they nominate a candidate. They do not care about standards.

They elected a convicted felon to be president. They sure enough elected sexual predators and criminals to serve in state or federal government.

Again, who judges these people?

Democrats are all upset over President Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden. 

Instead of just playing dirty, the Democrats want to continue to be above the fray and have morals. Fuck that shit. Miss me with that bullshit. It is time to say fuck it. Stop being nice to Republicans and the junk food media.

A Tennessee state lawmaker was caught on police dash camera urinating on himself after he consented to a field sobriety test.

He was not even in his state. That makes it more embarrassing.

Georgia authorities confirm state Sen. Ken Yager was arrested for driving under the influence after a hit-and-run crash.

This happened Tuesday night at around 5 p.m., the Georgia Department of Public Safety officials said.

Troopers said they spotted a Ford Edge with Tennessee license plates, which was reported to be in a hit-and-run on Jekyll Island. Those state license plates were his state-issued Senate tag. Yager serves as the Republican Senate Caucus Chair. Authorities said Georgia troopers located the SUV with a description in the parking lot of Jekyll Market, where Yager allegedly tripped and fell.

Yager soiled himself after failing a field sobriety test.

Police said they noticed alcohol on his breath, and he admitted being involved in a crash earlier. Troopers said Yager agreed to perform a field sobriety test and submit to a breathalyzer.

"An unfortunate incident happened last night," Yager said in a statement Wednesday. "On the advice of my attorney, I cannot discuss the particulars at this time. I am and will continue to cooperate fully with authorities to bring this incident to an appropriate conclusion.”

Georgia troopers transported Yager to the Glynn County Jail.

The investigation into the hit-and-run incident is ongoing.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Brian Thompson Passed Away!

The CEO of UnitedHealthcare was assassinated by an unknown assailant.

The CEO of UnitedHealthcare was assassinated in broad daylight while in New York City. The New York Police Department and FBI are investigating the attack.

This smells like a terrorist attack.

Gun violence is the No. 1 threat in the United States.

He was shot outside of the Hilton in Midtown and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition where he was pronounced dead.

Brian Thompson was shot several times from close range in the chest outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel. Thompson was in New York for a United Healthcare "investors day" meeting. The shooter was reportedly masked, and was last seen fleeing down Sixth Avenue by bicycle. Thompson was taken to Mount Sinai West hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The attack was intentional, according to the New York City Police Department. Police were still seeking the shooter the morning of the attack.

According to The New York Times, the gunman, dressed in black, "apparently knew which door Mr. Thompson was going to enter and shot him several times from a few feet away," before fleeing by bicycle.

The hotel is located on Sixth Avenue between 53rd and 54th streets, in the middle of popular tourist destinations.

CNN reported that officials are searching for the gunman.

Police believe it was a targeted shooting. The gunman was described as 6-foot, 1 inch tall; thin; wearing a black jacket, black hat, black ski mask and black backpack, WABC reported.

The gunman waited for Thompson, fired several shots and then went down an alleyway before hopping on a bicycle and riding away. Police believe he went into Central Park.

UnitedHealth Group’s CEO Andrew Witty “We’re dealing with a very serious medical situation with one of our team members, and as a result, I’m afraid we’re going to have to bring to a close the event today,” when its investor day event scheduled for Wednesday was canceled, Reuters reported.

According to the company’s website, the meeting was scheduled to start at 8 a.m. in the Hilton’s ballroom.

Thompson was named the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, the insurance division, in April 2021, CNN reported. He started at the company in 2004 and worked in several departments over nearly 20 years before being named to the latest position, according to the company. Prior to joining UnitedHealth, he was a CPA at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

UnitedHealth Group is the biggest healthcare company in the country, according to CNN.

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.

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.
