Jimmy Carter Passed Away!

Thank you Jimmy. I wished we had more presidents like you.

Former president James Earl Carter, Jr. has passed away at the age of 100. He was the oldest former president when he turned 100 in October.

Carter was born Oct. 1, 1924, in Plains and spent his early years in nearby Archery. His family was a minority in the mostly Black community, decades before the civil rights movement played out at the dawn of Carter’s political career.

Carter, who campaigned as a moderate on race relations but governed more progressively, talked often of the influence of his Black caregivers and playmates but also noted his advantages: His land-owning father sat atop Archery’s tenant-farming system and owned a main street grocery. His mother, Lillian, would become a staple of his political campaigns.

Seeking to broaden his world beyond Plains and its population of fewer than 1,000 — then and now — Carter won an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating in 1946. That same year he married Rosalynn Smith, another Plains native, a decision he considered more important than any he made as head of state. She shared his desire to see the world, sacrificing college to support his Navy career.

Carter climbed in rank to lieutenant, but then his father was diagnosed with cancer, so the submarine officer set aside his ambitions of admiralty and moved the family back to Plains. His decision angered Rosalynn, even as she dived into the peanut business alongside her husband.

Then senator Joe Biden engaging with Jimmy Carter. Biden would eventually become the president.

Carter again failed to talk with his wife before his first run for office — he later called it “inconceivable” not to have consulted her on such major life decisions — but this time, she was on board.

“My wife is much more political,” Carter told the AP in 2021.

He won a state Senate seat in 1962 but wasn’t long for the General Assembly and its back-slapping, deal-cutting ways. He ran for governor in 1966 — losing to arch-segregationist Lester Maddox — and then immediately focused on the next campaign.

Carter had spoken out against church segregation as a Baptist deacon and opposed racist “Dixiecrats” as a state senator. Yet as a local school board leader in the 1950s he had not pushed to end school segregation even after the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision, despite his private support for integration. And in 1970, Carter ran for governor again as the more conservative Democrat against Carl Sanders, a wealthy businessman Carter mocked as “Cufflinks Carl.” Sanders never forgave him for anonymous, race-baiting flyers, which Carter disavowed.

Ultimately, Carter won his races by attracting both Black voters and culturally conservative whites. Once in office, he was more direct.

“I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over,” he declared in his 1971 inaugural address, setting a new standard for Southern governors that landed him on the cover of Time magazine.

President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald J. Trump, former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will react to the passing. Vice President Kamala Harris, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, former vice presidents Dan Quayle, Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Mike Pence will also react to the passing as well.

The 39th President of the United States who served from 1977 until 1981, will be remembered as a man who worked to bring peace to the Middle East, called out Israel for its crimes, Habitat for Humanity, his late wife Roselyn Carter, the Nobel Peace Prize, civility in the White House and the fact that he did it with a bunch of far right Republicans meddling.

Carter became president after his predecessor Gerald Ford failed at appealing to voters. His support for pardoning his former boss Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War and inflation all but sealed Ford's fate. Ronald Reagan, Carter's successor used the far right noise machine of Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, Lee Atwater and Rupert Murdoch to help him win over voters in the South and Midwest upset with inflation, the Cold War and Iran hostage crisis.

Of course, Israel had a role in the Iran hostage crisis. The Israelis worked with Reagan and Iran's leaders to get the release. Israel saw Reagan as their savior.

The longest-lived American president died on Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, The Carter Center said.

President Joe Biden and First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden greet Jimmy and Roselyn Carter.

“Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” the center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family.

Businessman, Navy officer, evangelist, politician, negotiator, author, woodworker, citizen of the world — Carter forged a path that still challenges political assumptions and stands out among the 45 men who reached the nation’s highest office. The 39th president leveraged his ambition with a keen intellect, deep religious faith and prodigious work ethic, conducting diplomatic missions into his 80s and building houses for the poor well into his 90s.

“My faith demands — this is not optional — my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can, with whatever I have to try to make a difference,” Carter once said.

Oh similairties in how Israel is continuing this war despite Biden trying to stop it (well not actually stopping it). Israel worked with Trump and AIPAC to ensure voter turnout will favor him. Biden was forced out after his debate performance and Harris lost because of her refusal to listen to Arab American and Black men frustarated with Biden's policies. Also having Liz Cheney on her roster kind of made it clear she backed Israel despite the apartheid ethnostate supporting Trump.

Then president-elect Barack Obama pose with George H.W. Bush, then president George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Clinton, Obama and Biden can testify, the Republican Party is too damn extreme. But as they continue to win elections on the grounds of white supremacy and ignorance, the Democratic Party is still wandering in the forest. Trying to court Republicans isn't a strategy of winning. They backed Trump overwhelmingly despite Harris having the backing of many Republicans.

A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. His no-frills campaign depended on public financing, and his promise not to deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia.

“If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter repeated before narrowly beating Republican incumbent Gerald Ford, who had lost popularity pardoning Nixon.

Carter governed amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over racism, women’s rights and America’s global role. His most acclaimed achievement in office was a Mideast peace deal that he brokered by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at the bargaining table for 13 days in 1978. That Camp David experience inspired the post-presidential center where Carter would establish so much of his legacy.

Yet Carter’s electoral coalition splintered under double-digit inflation, gasoline lines and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His bleakest hour came when eight Americans died in a failed hostage rescue in April 1980, helping to ensure his landslide defeat to Republican Ronald Reagan.

Then president Donald J. Trump greet former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush at his father George H.W. Bush's funeral in 2018. Former vice president Joe Biden in the far irght would become the current president until Jan. 20, 2025. Trump returns afterwards.

Carter acknowledged in his 2020 “White House Diary” that he could be “micromanaging” and “excessively autocratic,” complicating dealings with Congress and the federal bureaucracy. He also turned a cold shoulder to Washington’s news media and lobbyists, not fully appreciating their influence on his political fortunes.

“It didn’t take us long to realize that the underestimation existed, but by that time we were not able to repair the mistake,” Carter told historians in 1982, suggesting that he had “an inherent incompatibility” with Washington insiders.

Carter insisted his overall approach was sound and that he achieved his primary objectives — to “protect our nation’s security and interests peacefully” and “enhance human rights here and abroad” — even if he fell spectacularly short of a second term.

Demcorats didn't want Republican-lite. They wanted Biden and Harris to call out Israel, stop funding them, brag more about their accomplishments, fight against MAGA and stop being nice.

History will be good to Jimmy and Roselyn Carter.

A self-declared “born-again Christian,” Carter drew snickers by referring to Scripture in a Playboy magazine interview, saying he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times.” The remarks gave Ford a new foothold and television comedians pounced — including NBC’s new “Saturday Night Live” show. But voters weary of cynicism in politics found it endearing.

Carter chose Minnesota Sen. Walter “Fritz” Mondale as his running mate on a “Grits and Fritz” ticket. In office, he elevated the vice presidency and the first lady’s office. Mondale’s governing partnership was a model for influential successors Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Biden. Rosalynn Carter was one of the most involved presidential spouses in history, welcomed into Cabinet meetings and huddles with lawmakers and top aides.

The Carters presided with uncommon informality: He used his nickname “Jimmy” even when taking the oath of office, carried his own luggage and tried to silence the Marine Band’s “Hail to the Chief.” They bought their clothes off the rack. Carter wore a cardigan for a White House address, urging Americans to conserve energy by turning down their thermostats. Amy, the youngest of four children, attended District of Columbia public school.

Washington’s social and media elite scorned their style. But the larger concern was that “he hated politics,” according to Eizenstat, leaving him nowhere to turn politically once economic turmoil and foreign policy challenges took their toll.

Alas, 2028.

Anyway, the junk food media will cover Jimmy Carter's passing. Expected to be held in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, the honoring of the former president who served as governor of the state.

Atlanta and Washington, DC will be the places where they will hold his funeral.

Biden, 82 is the current president and oldest elected. Trump will surpass him again, being the second and fourth oldest president elected. Biden will be the last U.S. president in term when Carter was alive.

Biden also was the last U.S. president to greet Queen Elizabeth II. He is the first U.S. president to greet King Charles III.

Biden will have the same legacy as Carter. He pulled us out of a pandemic and got the economy back on track. But thanks to Trump, Republicans and the junk food media, we're back on the course of an economy on the downslide.

Biden will also leave office as an enabler of genocide. He didn't have the balls to stand up to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel and the lobbyists. He couldn't save the soul of the nation by being an enabler of the division.

He took Harris down with him. 

Carter hoped he could see a Black woman elected as president. Unfortunately, we are returning to status quo poltiics and the chaotic legacy of Trump. He served one term disgracefully. He is expected to serve a second term in the same fashion.

Jimmy Carter, I wished we could have more presidents like you and not like Bush, Biden and Trump.

I was born in 1980 as the election was in its final days. I lived through Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and Trump again. Hell, I survived the worst and certainly will deal with another chaotic Trump presidency.

Man Sets Another Woman On Fire! Suspect Caught!

An ex-boyfriend sets Ashanti Downey on fire.

While President-elect Donald J. Trump and Republicans exploit the tragic arson and murder of a woman riding on a New York City subway, they ignore the other woman set on fire by another attempted murderer. The suspect was a mentally ill immigrant from Guatemala. 

The victim of the recent arson was a young Black woman attacked in the same fashion in North Carolina.

Oh by the way, I want to issue a correction. The victim was not identified as previously posted. The victim was burned so badly, the New York Police Department forensics must do DNA testing to confirm if the victim was a resident of the city.

Ashanti Downey didn't get the mammoth coverage of the junk food media.

No one was filming her while being burned alive. People actually tried to save her life and they identified the person who tried to murder her.

It happened in Sanford, North Carolina.

Downey was walking to a Dollar Tree when the suspect poured gasoline on her and set her on fire.

On Dec. 16, the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office got a 911 call from a staff member at Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford about a burn victim.

Investigators found 20-year-old Ashanti Downey who was taken to the emergency room suffering from burns on the right side of her body.

She was taken to a burn center where she was in critical, but stable condition.

This man was rejected by his former girlfriend. So he decided to set her on fire as an act of revenge.

On Friday, investigators arrested 23-year-old Jami Raiziah Griffin. He was charged with attempted murder, assault with deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and assault onfemale/domestic violence.

Griffin is being held in the Harnett County Detention Center without bond.

An online GoFundMe campaign had raised over $85,000 for Downey’s medical care as of Saturday morning.

“My daughter will be celebrating her 21st birthday on January 1, 2025, and due to the hatred of an individual or individuals, her life will be forever changed,” her mother, Donecia Davis. wrote on the fundraiser page. “No parent should have to see their child in the condition my daughter is in. I am making her my top priority and have been by her side at the hospital since this incident occurred.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Ronald Beasley at 910-893-0151 or the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office at 910-893-9111.

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

Attempted murder, arson, stalking, menacing and kidnapping. If found guilty, he could serve LIFE without graduation, labeled a TIER III arsonist, TIER III in Offender U and the suspect as well as his family will have to foot the bill for Ashanti's treatment.

You Cannot Hide Behind Religion! Israel Will Be Punished For Its Crimes!

The Israeli regime will fall.

As long as anyone engaged in the actions that are tied to Israel or the Israeli Defence Forces, they shouldn't feel safe anywhere.

The International Criminal Court has officially decreed the Israeli prime minister, former defense minister and IDF soliders are war criminals. They are to be arrested if seen in member countries of the ICC.

The only country the Israelis feel "safe" is the United States. But trust me, coming to the United States is more dangerous now that Donald J. Trump is returning to power. Also activists are willing to push for violence against IDF soliders who claim citizenship in the United States. President Joe Biden or Trump might pardon these war criminals if the ICC does place a warrant for their arrest.

Israel will fall.

Trump will fail.

Biden has failed.

Israel Genocide Tracker has posted on social media the actions of IDF soliders engaged in war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, Yemen, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt. 

Republican House members Mike Lawler and Mike Johnson (U.S. House Speaker) support Israeli interests despite their bullshit claims about being "America First." They pose with an IDF solider.

How can one country claim self defense when it is invading two occupied regions, three countries and plotting state sponsored terrorism everywhere?

With member states willing to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant if they travel, the U.S. and Israel are probably the only places that offer shelter.

The U.S, is losing credibility everyday. The tired excuse of "Israel having a right to self defense" has expired. The Israeli government has destroyed every ounce of support globally.

Only 45% of Americans support Israel. But when you see how much of our taxpayer money is being funded to that country, you would start opposing it.

The hasbara campaign is falling apart. More Americans especially Democratic leaning voters are tuning out cable news and local news. With Israel and Trump, it has show freefall at CNN, MSNBC, Newsnation and even Fox.

No one has interest in Biden or Trump. No one has interest in Israel.

 

Benzino: No Neck And No Good Days! 🙁😖😞🤮

Dog gone it!

Can we please spare this homie a dime?

Or perhaps a neck!

BENZINO: NO NECK AND NO GOOD DAYS!

Raymond Scott, formerly known as Benzino is damn near 60 years old and still running around like he's a damn 20 something year old. I mean this former entertainer needs to get his shit together. I mean he's literally dragging his daughter down with him.

Scott is the father of rapper/model Coi LeRay. She is embarrassed by his constant ignorant behavior.

Scott is still fixated on the neverending feud with Eminem.

The former entertainer has another infamous police video release. It was almost like a Christmas present to people like TheEvolve, Steve Knight and NoLifeShaq.

The winners and losers of 2024.

50 Cent got a hold of the infamous video where Scott tried to unalive himself. Remember Wack 100 warned Scott to stop talking nonsense about him and those associated with him. The video was released two weeks ago and it got the attention of the controversial media mogul.

50 posted a video of what appeared to be Benzino threatening to commit suicide, which Benzino’s girlfriend, Ashley Bell, apparently filmed.

“Benzino caught on video, by his girlfriend Ashley Bell threatening to unalive himself with a knife because she called the cops for him allegedly beating her,” Fif captioned the clip on Instagram.

Scott is seen sobbing on the floor as a woman talks to him. “Just stop, stop. Give me the knife,” she says.

When he responds, “Call the police,” she says, “No I’m not. Give me the knife.” She repeatedly yells “No!” adding, “I’ll call them back,” seemingly referring to the police.

Benzino told fans he was “okay” and was rehearsing a role for a Tubi movie.

“First and foremost, I just want to let everybody know that I’m okay, all right?” he explained. “Second of all, I want to let everybody know that that was a rehearsal for a Tubi movie, all right? My girl was helping me out, we was doing script reading, and that was a rehearsal for a Tubi movie.”

A post shared by Benzino (@benzinothelegend)

He added, “I would never ever put my hands on any woman—I’ve never done that in my life. That’s for cowards and I surely wouldn’t do anything to hurt myself. So shout out to all the people who were concerned, I’m okay.”

He then spoke directly to 50 Cent: “I also wanted to let Curtis know good-looking. Thanks, Curtis for promoting me. Keep on posting me, that’s dope.”

Benzino then showed off his abs and physique. “If you wanna post something, post this,” he said. “I’m in that gym heavy, benching 315 [pounds]. What you doing, Curtis?”

Benzino and 50 Cent started beefing in the early 2000s when Benzino started criticizing Eminem in The Source. As a Shady/Aftermath Records signee, Fif inherited their bad blood as tensions escalated.

Back in April, Benzino said he could take on 50 Cent in a boxing match. “50’s been shot in the face before so that counts. He had to get reconstructive surgery; he’s not gonna be able to take any old punch in his face," Zino said.

Raymond Scott wish he could have Eminem's record sales and crowd sizes.

He added, “If we were to box in a boxing match and I were to train for a couple months, hell yeah I could box 50. I’m gonna pick me every time.”

Tubi has become quite popular. In September, the streamer announced that it had eclipsed 74 million monthly active users and logged nearly 4 billion streaming hours for the first half of 2024.

“Tubi is now watched as much as a top 5 cable network, as audiences continue to embrace our digital-first, 100 percent free streaming experience,” Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, recently said in a statement.

Then another bodycamera footage of Scott being evicted and soon arrested again for physically assualting a woman at his local gym in Cobb County, Georgia.

Scott has also defended Sean "Puffy" Combs (aka Diddy), Bill Cosby, Shawn Corey Carter (Jay-Z), R. Kelly and other controversial figures who are accused of sexually predatory behavior.

And yes, he still talking shit about Em.

Endless chaos.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tell me: 

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

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

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

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

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

Texas Grows!

Saddle up, folks are moving to Texas.

Folks are moving to Texas.

No I am not moving to Texas, but at lot of Americans are. The state is becoming one of the fastest growing second to California.

Texas, Florida and California saw population growth and are expected to continue to put pressure on the electric grid. It will continue pressuring the weather because of climate change. More continued strains on resources, possible eradication of protected species, continue denials of medical, home, flood, hurricane and vehicle insurance. Oh by the way, more stupidity.

The 10 largest cities in Texas include:

Houston 2.4 million

San Antonio 1.4 million

Dallas 1.3 million

Fort Worth 1.04 million

Austin 1.03 million.

El Paso 689,000

Arlington 405,000

Corpus Christi 324,000

Lubbock 270,000

Crime, gun violence, hurricanes, tornodoes and endless electrical grid outages are the biggest threats to Texans. However, the far right would love to scapegoat immigrants, gays, liberals and Black shoplifters as their threats.

The Canadian Texan. Ted Cruz is actually smart but pretends to be the dumbest member of the senate.

The Texas Tribune reports that Texas’ population surpassed 31 million people within the last year as the state added more residents than any other place in the country, estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau show.

However, the number of people who moved from other parts of the country slowed.

Texas added 562,941 residents between July 2023 and July 2024, census estimates show — ahead of Florida and California. That growth brought the state’s total population to 31,290,831.

The state didn’t add residents as quickly as it did the previous year, but the rate of its population growth — 1.8% — was still the third-highest in the country behind Florida and the District of Columbia.

Greg Gumbel Passed Away!

A legendary sportscaster and brother of Bryant Gumbel has passed away from cancer. Greg Gumbel, the face of NCAA College Basketball on CBS has passed away..

Greg Gumbel is usually the face of NCAA March Maddness on CBS, TNT, TruTV and TBS. You know it was time for the best of college basketball when he showed up.

Gumbel, a longtime CBS sportscaster who broke barriers during his career calling some of the biggest sporting events, has died from cancer, according to a statement from family released by the network on Friday. He was 78.

“He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry; and his iconic voice will never be forgotten,” his wife Marcy Gumbel and daughter Michelle Gumbel said in a statement.

In March, Gumbel missed his first NCAA Tournament since 1997 due to what he said at the time were family health issues.

Gumbel was the studio host for CBS since returning to the network from NBC in 1998. Gumbel signed an extension with CBS last year that allowed him to continue hosting college basketball while stepping back from NFL announcing duties.

In 2001, he announced Super Bowl 35 for CBS, becoming the first Black announcer in the U.S. to call play-by-play of a major sports championship.

David Berson, president and CEO of CBS Sports, described Gumbel as someone who broke barriers and set standards for others during his years as a voice for fans in sports, including in the NFL and March Madness.

“A tremendous broadcaster and gifted storyteller, Greg led one of the most remarkable and groundbreaking sports broadcasting careers of all time,” said Berson.

Gumbel had two stints at CBS, leaving the network for NBC when it lost football in 1994 and returning when it regained the contract in 1998.

He hosted CBS’ coverage of the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics and called Major League Baseball games during its four-year run broadcasting the national pastime. In 1995, he hosted the World Figure Skating Championships and the following year hosted NBC’s daytime coverage of the Olympic Summer Games in Atlanta.

But it was football and basketball where he was best known and made his biggest impact. Gumbel hosted CBS’ NFL studio show, “The NFL Today” from 1990 to 1993 and again in 2004-05.

Earlier this year, Gumbel recalled replacing Brent Musburger as host of “The NFL Today” in 1990, describing it as intimidating and daunting.

“The fact that I got to sit in the same chair and do the same thing or try to do the same thing that he did was an incredible honor,” he said.

Gumbel also called NFL games as the network’s lead play-by-play announcer from 1998 to 2003, including Super Bowl 35 and 38. He returned to the NFL booth in 2005, leaving that role after the 2022 season.

“Like all who knew and loved him, I too am saddened by his death, yet also so very grateful to have known him in my life,” Clark Kellogg, a CBS Sports college basketball game and studio analyst, said in a statement. “What a gift to be touched by such a good man and partner.”

Gumbel was the older brother of Bryant Gumbel, the host of NBC’s “Today” show and “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” on HBO. Bryant Gumbel received a lifetime achievement award at the Sports Emmys in 2003.

Greg Gumbel grew up in Chicago and graduated from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, in 1967 with a degree in English. He had plans to become an English teacher, but after his brother got into sportscasting, he auditioned at WMAQ-TV, an NBC affiliate in Chicago in 1973, according to the book “You Are Looking Live!: How The NFL Today Revolutionized Sports Broadcasting.” He was soon offered a position as weekend sports anchor.

“I’m kind of surprised I got the job. I certainly wasn’t anyone who was polished,” he said in the book. “By my own reckoning, it took me a good year to start to feel comfortable in front of a camera.”

Gumbel also worked for ESPN and the Madison Square Garden network.

James Brown, who currently hosts “The NFL Today,” described Gumbel on Friday as “Mr. Versatility and also very telegenic.”

“It was my pleasure to call him a friend and one who could do anything that was given to him in the wake of an assignment,” he added.

Thank you Greg.

Gumbel won local Emmy Awards during his long career and was the recipient of the 2007 Pat Summerall Award for excellence in sports broadcasting.

Outside of his career as a sportscaster, he was affiliated with the March of Dimes for three decades, including as a member of its board of trustees. He also was a member of the Sports Council for St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital for 16 years.

Conservative Outrage Over Biden Giving Pardons To More People Of Color!

Thank you Carlos Latuff for making political cartoons that make a lot of sense.

As President Joe Biden finishes up his term, he is pardoning and commuting hundreds of Americans in the federal time out. Some convicted of drug offenses like marijuana trafficking.

Many American states have legalized marijuana.

Here in Ohio, we passed a referendum that legalized marijuana. Republicans have tried to pass legislation to make it more difficult and expensive to purchase marijuana.

Many conservatives and far right agitators are pissed Biden commuted and reduced penalties for convicted murderers. It's not like he is going to allow them to be free. 

At this point, he does not care what you think of him. Y'all elected Donald J. Trump as the president. There are no standards.

Biden announced Monday that he is commuting the death sentences of 37 inmates, leaving only three people on death row in federal prisons.

The commuted sentences will be reclassified to life sentences without the possibility of parole, according to the White House.

"These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder," Biden said in a statement. "Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss.

“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level,” Biden added in his statement. “In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”

The three men who remain on federal death row are Robert Bowers, who killed 11 people in the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in 2018; Dylann Roof, who killed nine people in a shooting at a historically Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombers in 2013.

As a presidential candidate, Biden argued in 2019 that "we must eliminate the death penalty."

I mean he just gave them a LIFE without graduation. Seriously, he did not let them free.

In 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a moratorium on federal executions. No federal inmates have been executed during Biden's presidency.

Zero fucks. He will leave with people pissed at him regardless of what he does.

However, the Justice Department said this year that it would seek the death penalty for the white supremacist who killed 10 Black people in a shooting at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store in 2022.

Beyond federal death sentences, about half of states allow the death penalty. More than two dozen people have been executed this year, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Around 2,200 people are on death row across the country.

One of the inmates whose sentences Biden will commute, Billie Allen, has maintained his innocence.

"I want to believe that he's going to do the right thing," Allen said about Biden in an interview last month, adding, "As someone who's innocent, he should do the right thing sooner instead of later."

Allen also said he felt his hope was "cut off" when Donald Trump won the presidential election last month. Hours after the news of the commutations broke, Allen told NBC News that he had been preparing to be executed under the incoming administration.

“I prepared my last will and testament and sent it off to my sister,” he said.

Allen was sentenced to death in 1998 over a bank robbery in which a security guard was shot and killed. Allen has asked the government to look at DNA evidence that he says will exonerate him.

“I am grateful, and I will say, on behalf of most of the people here, they are grateful as well,” he said. “Most of the people in here when they heard the news, is, ‘this is a second chance for me to be better.’”

Around the time of Trump's election, some of the correctional staff members taunted inmates at the prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, according to a death row inmate and two federal defenders. Execution rehearsals have also increased at the prison, where almost all federal death row inmates are incarcerated, in the lead-up to Trump's inauguration, according to the same sources.

A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson declined to comment on the allegations about correctional staff members out of "privacy concerns."

"However, we can share that the Federal Bureau of Prisons is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all individuals in our population, our employees, and the public," said the spokesperson, Emery Nelson. "Humane treatment of the men and women in our custody is a top priority. Allegations of misconduct are thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action is taken if such allegations are proven true."

Trump said on the campaign trail that he would push for the Justice Department to seek the death penalty for drug dealers.

"We’re going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts," Trump said when he launched his 2024 campaign.

He has also called for the death penalty for "any migrant who kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer."

Thirteen federal prisoners were put to death during Trump's first term — all in the last six months he was in office. Before that, the most recent federal execution was in 2003.

Kelley Henry is a federal defender for Rejon Taylor, one of the inmates being taken off of death row by Biden's action. Henry previously represented Lisa Montgomery, who was executed in the final days of the first Trump administration. She said the rapid pace of federal executions at the end of the Trump administration was "brutal."

"It was like the legal system was suspended, is the best way I can put it," she said in an interview last month.

Reached for comment about use of the death penalty during the end of Trump's last term and his plans for his next term, Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said he will stick with his campaign vows.

"President Trump meant what he said on the campaign trail: he will enforce the death penalty for drug dealers who knowingly sell deadly poison to their fellow Americans, and illegal immigrant criminals who kill innocent American citizens," she said in a statement. "He will deliver on these promises."

Another Trump transition spokesperson, Steven Cheung, also condemned Biden's action.

“These are among the worst killers in the world and this abhorrent decision by Joe Biden is a slap in the face to the victims, their families, and their loved ones,” Cheung said, adding that Trump "stands for the rule of law."

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., used similar language to criticize the commutations in a post on X, calling the move "a slap in the face to the families who have suffered immeasurably at the hands of these animals.”

Trump would need congressional support to expand the types of crimes for which prosecutors could seek the death penalty, and any changes would be likely to face legal challenges.

Biden this month commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 nonviolent offenders and pardoned an additional 39 people, saying in a statement that "America was built on the promise of possibility and second chances."

Biden also pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who was set to be sentenced on a federal gun charges conviction, as well as a separate case in which he pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges. The president had said he would not pardon his son.

NBC News has reported that Biden is considering issuing pre-emptive pardons for people whom he thinks Trump might legally target during his second administration.
