Biden Pardons Trump's List Of Enemies!

Can't wait to get out of here.

On his way out.

President Joe Biden final act to piss off Donald J. Trump and Republicans.

He pardoned former health advisor Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley, Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Bennie Thompson and other potential targets of Trump.

Trump is considering pardoning or commuting the sentences of Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Biden’s pardon of members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential revenge by the incoming Trump administration.

The decision by Biden comes after Donald Trump warned of an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss and his role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump has selected Cabinet nominees who backed his election lies and who have pledged to punish those involved in efforts to investigate him.

“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement. “Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.”

It’s customary for a president to grant clemency at the end of his term, but those acts of mercy are usually offered to everyday Americans who have been convicted of crimes. But Biden has used the power in the broadest and most untested way possible: to pardon those who have not even been investigated yet. And with the acceptance comes a tacit admission of guilt or wrongdoing, even though those who have been pardoned have not been formally accused of any crimes.

Trump vowed to go after Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Biden blocked it.

“These are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” Biden said, adding that “Even when individuals have done nothing wrong — and in fact have done the right thing — and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances.”

Fauci was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health for nearly 40 years and was Biden’s chief medical adviser until his retirement in 2022. He helped coordinate the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and raised the ire of Trump when he refused to back Trump’s unfounded claims. He has become a target of intense hatred and vitriol from people on the right, who blame him for mask mandates and other policies they believe infringed on their rights, even as tens of thousands of Americans were dying.

Mark Milley is the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and called Trump a fascist and detailed Trump’s conduct around the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

Biden is also extending pardons to members and staff of the Jan. 6 committee, including former Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, both Republicans, as well as the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the committee.

The iconic image of Dr. Anthony Fauci looking annoyed when Trump was doing his latest presser during the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden, an institutionalist, has promised a smooth transition to the next administration, inviting Trump to the White House and saying that the nation will be OK, even as he warned during his farewell address of a growing oligarchy. He has spent years warning that Trump’s ascension to the presidency again would be a threat to democracy. His decision to break with political norms with the preemptive pardons was brought on by those concerns.

Biden has set the presidential record for most individual pardons and commutations issued; he announced on Friday he would commuting the sentences of almost 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses. He previously announced he was commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, converting their punishments to life imprisonment just weeks before Trump, an outspoken proponent of expanding capital punishment, takes office. In his first term, Trump presided over an unprecedented spate of executions, 13, in a protracted timeline during the coronavirus pandemic.

The West Gives Names To Released Israeli Settlers! Statistics To Palestinians Killed!

The American junk food media puts more emphasis on Israelis than Palestinians.

How come we know the names of the Israel settlers released and not the Palestinian victims of this genocide?

Fuck Israel.

Fuck Joe Biden, Donald J. Trump, Congress, AIPAC, the ADL, Zionism and the endless propaganda of the West. 

Media coverage of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict has been said, by both sides and independent observers, to be biased. This coverage includes news, academic discussion, film, and social media. These perceptions of bias, possibly exacerbated by the hostile media effect, have generated more complaints of partisan reporting than any other news topic and have led to a proliferation of media watchdog groups.

Israel has violated the ceasefire despite Hamas resistance releasing several of the surviving settlers or soliders captures.

I refuse to call these settlers hostages. They are illegal occupiers and white privileged individuals who served in the Israeli Defense Forces.

This is not only Missing White Woman Syndrome but selective sympathy and selective outrage.

You hear the names of Israelis or foreign national settlers who hold citizenship with Israel being released. You probably never heard the names of all the Palestinians held in the torture camps, routinely murdered and maimed.

Romi Gonen, 24, Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, walked to Red Cresent vehicles as their convoy moved through Gaza City. Gonen was abducted from the Nova music festival, while the others were kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Damari is an Israeli-British dual citizen.

Who were all the victims killed by Israel?

.........................................

TikTok U.S. is officially offline and it often shared the stories of Palestinians who survived. Palestinians told their stories of discrimination, physical abuse, sexual assault and threats of death at the hands of the Israelis. You saw videos of mothers and fathers crying. Children being injured by occupiers. It was mask off for the Israeli regime.

So the Israeli lobby and the ADL got on the phone called up lawmakers. They told them to ban TikTok because it was promoting Chinese propaganda and antisemitism. Congress quickly passed it into law and President Joe Biden signed into law.

It became one of the biggest mistakes and a marred legacy of Biden.

Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu literally colludied in this. Trump encouraged foreign actors to interfere with the 2024 elections. Over one year and it was the original ceasefire agreement that was proposed in Dec. 2023.

Israel was rooting for Trump to return so they can get an unprecedented amount of support. They literally played the United States, Great Britain, Canada, the European Union, Egypt and Qatar.

Even if Israel releases Palestinian hostages, they are not allowed to celebrate or show emotions. If they do, the Israelis will equate it to terrorism.

The quality of both media coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict and research and debates on university campuses have been the object of extensive monitoring and research. Public discussion of the occupation is also contested, especially on university campuses. Pro-Israeli Jewish students complain that they have been vilified or harassed; some proposed talks on Palestinian perspectives have been cancelled on the grounds that audiences might not be able to objectively evaluate the material. In response to attempts to silence several high-profile critics of Israeli territorial policies concerns have been expressed that the topic itself is at risk, and that the political pressures restricting research and discussion undermine academic freedom. In the latter regard, organizations like Campus Watch closely report and denounce what they consider "anti-Israeli" attitudes. In addition to Israel's hasbara organization, intent on countering negative press images, there are also many private pro-Israeli organizations, among them CAMERA, FLAME, HonestReporting, Palestinian Media Watch and the Anti-Defamation League which subject reportage to scrutiny in the belief news on Israel has systematically distorted reality to privilege Palestinian versions. In Ehud Barak's view Palestinians are "products of a culture in which to tell a lie..creates no dissonance". Others allow that both sides lie, but "Arabs" are better at it. The term Pallywood was coined to suggest that Palestinian coverage of their plight, in a genre called "traumatic realism", is marked by a diffuse intent to fraudulently manipulate the media, beginning with the killing of Mohammad Durrah, and, it has been argued, still being evoked as late as 2014 to dismiss Israeli responsibility for the Beitunia killings. The idea has been dismissed as bearing the hallmarks of a "conspiracy theory".

Look how CNN framed the story. Palestinians are prisoners and detainees while Israelis are hostages. 

The three freed Israeli hostages - the first of 33 to be released over the next six weeks - are Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari. In exchange, 90 Palestinian prisoners and detainees will also be released.

• The Israeli military withdrew from several locations in southern and northern Gaza after the truce began earlier on Sunday, an Israeli military official told CNN.

• Displaced Gazans have started returning to their homes, while the aid trucks laden with much-need.

That's why TikTok exists. It was an alternative to the bullshit that CNN, MSNBC, NewsNation and Fox peddled. I am so furious that Trump colluded with Israel to prelong the genocide. I am furious at Biden for stifling free speech by signing a law banning TikTok. The U.S. is downsliding and it's thanks to our support of old men who are completely out of touch.

The Israeli regime has rejected a two state solution. They have interfered in U.S. elections time after time with their proxy groups the ADL and AIPAC throwing money to primary challengers against Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Thomas Massie and Jamaal Bowman. They are literally influencing our lawmakers into banning TikTok, criminalizing boycotts against the regime and equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism. 

They literally are spying on Muslims, Christians, protesters and organizations opposed to the regime's actions.

The Israeli regime is trying to force Americans to hate. The regime is rooting for Trump and when he returns he and Republicans can start their Project 2025 bullshit and assist in the Greater Israel bullshit.

The Israeli regime wants American lawmakers to punish lawmakers, athletes, media personalities, religious leaders, social media influencers, adult entertainment and television shows who speak out against the regime.

The evil Israeli regime has fanned outrage over regime change, boycotting entertainers who support Israel, octopuses, buttons, protests at synagogues, protests at Holocaust museums, blocking roads, blocking bridges, boycotting companies and calling for international sanctions. 

Israel keeps calling it an attack on Jewish people and it amounts to antisemitic propaganda. 

Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You upset over people rejecting a foreign country's narrative about sexual assault and war crimes. 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.

Could you name one damn thing Israel's done for the United States?

The Israeli government through its proxies are trying to sway American lawmakers into criminalizing criticism of its actions to antisemitism.

Israel's latest excuses to justify the genocide:

• They claimed that Hamas wants to kill as many Jews as possible.
• They claim that Hamas has underground tunnels under schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
• They claim that Hamas was planning on building a dirty bomb.
• They claim that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.
• They claim that Hamas is ISIS.
• They claim that Hamas had a copy of Mein Kampf inside a base in a children's bedroom.
• They claim that Hamas was beheading 40 babies.
• They claim that Hamas misfired a rocket at a hospital.
• They claim that Hamas wants a regional war.
• They claim that Hamas had top secret plans to attack the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas has a calendar that showed the shifts of who was watching the hostages.
• They claim that Joe Biden, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Dave Chappelle are supporters of Hamas.
• They claim that Hamas shot female soliders in the buttocks and breasts.
• They claim that Hamas shot dead a civilian and raped the victim's corpse,
• They claim that Hamas has placed explosive devices on corpses.
• They claim that Hamas has infiltrated college campuses in the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas support from individuals amounts to being a terrorist sympathizer.

Hamas is not raping women and there is no proof they done such a horrible act. It is part of the dehumanizing campaign Israel is promoting to influencers in the West. You see it when they are constantly deflecting from the images of Gaza being destroyed by American and European sponsored Israeli weapons. In their minds, they are justifying the brutal slaughter of children, men, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage. 

Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or Iran. 

The IDF has the weapons to destroy everything. All on the American taxpayer, Israel has killed civilians, their own citizens and the status quo.

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. 

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.

Israel is the red line and if any lawmaker backs the apartheid ethnostate, they will not receive my vote. Regardless of political affiliation, if you are supporting Israel, you are not getting donations or a vote from me.

I will hold President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance accountable.

TikTok U.S. Back Online!

Online.

It's a fucking op.

Fuck Donald J. Trump, Joe Biden, Israel, Congress, the Supreme Court, AIPAC, the ADL, the status quo and white supremacy. Fuck the propaganda being peddled by the West.

U.S. and Canadian TikTok influencers had a hard time trying to access their platforms on Saturday and Sunday.

Today was the official shutdown of the No. 1 app in the United States. Somehow its back online.

Did you know that TikTok was banned in China?

TikTok thanks incoming president and now all of sudden we smell bullshit.

Some American TikTok users opening the app are now receiving yet another pop-up message, this time a cheerful “Welcome back!”

“Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!” the message states. “You can continue to create, share, and discover all the things you love on TikTok.”

The U.S. passed a law to force a divestment and sell of TikTok or face a ban has went into effect. It has permanently sealed Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.'s fate as one of the most unpopular presidents in modern history.

They cannot ban assault rifles, stop private equity from destroying the housing market, raise the minimum wage, stop aiding Israel, stop aiding Ukraine, bring down the cost of groceries, stop big box stores from leaving communities or stop healthcare insurers from denying people. They cannot even get along when it comes to passing a damn infrastructure law. 

Hell most Americans are piling on debt through no faults of their own.

This happen before Obama, before Trump, before Biden and before Trump.

Y'all voted for this.

The Democratic Party handed Trump a win. On top of this, the 170 million users on TikTok will never forgive the Democratic and Republican lawmakers who voted for this.

Trump clarified his stance on TikTok, writing on Truth Social today that he’d like to bring the app back online in the U.S. as soon as possible, even if there’s no deal yet for a U.S.-based company to buy the app.

Though access to the app has been restored for many U.S. users, those who don’t have the app on their devices still appear unable to download it through the Apple and Android app stores.

Biden signed a law in April that required TikTok to divest from its Chinese ownership and sell to a U.S. company or face a shutdown. His administration said it’s leaving enforcement of the ban in the hands of the incoming Trump administration.

If anyone trolls you about condemning Hamas for Oct. 7, 2023, kindly ignore them or respectfully tell them that Israel has committed an illegal occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the West Bank. They shoot innocent civilians and indiscriminately bomb heavily populated areas in Gaza and the West Bank. 

Israel commited a state sponsored terrorist attack on Lebanon. They meddled in the U.S. election. They intentionally starved, displaced, maimed, tortured and deprived millions of people.

Will you condemn the actions of Israel if I have to condemn Russia, Iran, Syria, the Houthis, al Qaeda, the Islamic State, Hezbollah and Hamas?

If you're upset over protests, social media boycotts against Israel or not voting for Biden/Harris (Harris/Walz or Trump/Vance), why are you not upset over the treatment of innocent people being killed by Israel?

If you're upset over TikTok being a danger, why are you not upset over X, Instagram, Facebook, Rumble, Threads, YouTube and Truth Social?

Messy!

It's free speech. I will call Blacks that word because I can.

With TikTok U.S. on the verge of collapse, we might not see anymore of these losers degrading Black women for a damn coin. President Joe Biden will end as a unsuccessful leader and a villain of free speech.

The far right is clashing with MAGA over issues before Donald J. Trump takes office.

Some far right influncer is openly calling Black people the N......!

Are we based yet?

Y'all voted for this.

Lilly Gaddis, a white social media influencer who appears to be a sensation on the far right has become the voice of the "new right." 

Gaddis, a self-proclaimed "trad wife" and TikToker, has thanked the "Black community" for launching her career in "Conservative media" after her video using the N-word went viral.

After backlash spread online, Gaddis posted a non-apology video and doubled down on using the racial slur. Due to the controversial video, Gaddis lost her new job as a marketing and sales manager but still isn't apologetic.

When Lilly Gaddis claims her kid is white & she only dated white guys you can listen to this clip understand she never tells the truth 🤣 https://t.co/05Tw3nPi55 pic.twitter.com/E3RCztvTkB

Stop talking like a nigger

— Lilly (@thelillygaddis) January 13, 2025

The "trad wife" recently revealed that she's always been a "super conservative" and claims she's not afraid to say what people are scared to say.

She is also daring someone to come up on her and slap the reparations out of her.

It is worth it to stop the disease of white extremism? Black men who fall into the FBA/ADOS and Black Hebrew movement are aligning with white extemists. 

White supremacy, Christian nationalism, Jewish supremacy, misogyny and Black chauvinism are becoming a real threat to the undoing of the United States. 

Project 2025 is a product of it.

President Donald J. Trump is the center of their universe. He embraces the attention and has made dog whistles enabling violent reactions from these folks. They are revolting against him and Vice President JD Vance because of their support of Israel.

Even if I strongly oppose the far right and their vision of America, the only common ground I have with these extremists is the fact the U.S. is too cozy with Israel and we should put our priorities on our own country.

Even some on the left are starting to align with the far right. The Young Turks are vying to the right.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is considering becoming a Republican. He will have a dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago before his inauguration. 

Fetterman was a thorn in President Joe Biden's agenda.

If you ask me, America is definitely on the decline.

Ritchie Torres Block Party!

Ritchie Torres with British-Israeli bigot Eylon Levy. The longtime Democratic lawmaker is on the list people that need to lose his primary.

This lawmaker voted for the TikTok ban.

Ritchie Torres is an asshole publicly and privately. Of the 643,000 constiutents of a 2.5 mile radius in the poorest congressional district of The Bronx, there lies a lawmaker who cares more about a fucking foreign country than his own district.

The controversial Democratic lawmaker from New York has been one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel. He is a Black, Latino, openly gay and feverishly bigoted person. He also considering a run for governor against Kathy Hochul.

Hochul and Torres are approved by the lobby. Hochul is often in the crosshairs of Republicans and the new president. Republicans often scapegoat New York City and the state as their boogeyman in their stupid culture wars.

Torres is one of AIPAC's favorite members. 

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) is everything wrong with the Democratic Party. As the party continues to soul search, the Republicans grow in popularity despite being the party of white supremacy.

Torres might as well join Republicans. Same with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) and every member who backs Israel. Fetterman met with President Donald J. Trump.

As a member of Congress, you are required to be accessible to the public through all channels of communication. It is a shaky ground when you operate on your personal social media account. I mean the U.S. government provides lawmakers, the president, the vice president, members of an administration and government agencies social media accounts.

Politico wrote that Torres has routinely blocked Hochul staffers who reposted his past positions like the "defund the police" narrative that helped him win in 2020.

Since 2021, Torres backed off the progressive issues and took a more centrist stance on issues. 

He does not block people on his federal social media accounts.

The personal accounts of federal officials is also moot. It can be of the public's interest for lawmakers to have their personal accounts available. It is often newsworthy. 

Posting pictures of family members or personal issues is another thing.

Torres has been very criticial of progressive Democrats and has blocked critics without remorse. It's on his personal account. It could result in a lawsuit since he uses it for the public's interest.

Torres rejected calls for a ceasefire in the Israel–Hamas war. He called claims that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip a "blood libel".

Torres was one of 22 House Democrats who voted successfully to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), passing a resolution that accused her of, "...promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack," as well as criticized, in particular, her use of the slogan "from the river to the sea". In explaining why he voted for the censure, Torres wrote on Twitter, “Congress has a right to take a principled stand against hate speech calling for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish nation-state.”

Torres voted in favor of three military aid package supplementals for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan respectively in April 2024, along with most Democrats. In a statement after the vote, he said "The US has a singular obligation to help freedom fighters fight for their freedom, and nowhere more so than in Ukraine, whose self-defense against Putin’s aggression must prevail."

Torres's biggest contributor during his legislative career has been AIPAC by a significant factor.

Jon Husted To Fill Ohio Senate Seat!

Loyalty pays. Jon Husted is Ohio's junior senator.

Sen-designate Jon Husted (R-OH) will join Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH).

After few visits to Mar-a-Lago, the lieutenant governor of Ohio will replace Vice President JD Vance. 

Husted will not run for governor. He will have to run for the remaining senate term in 2026 and a full term in 2028.

It will likely be a Republican hold. 

Husted will be sworn in by Vance on Tuesday.

"I have worked with him, I have seen him. I know his knowledge of Ohio. I know his heart. I know what he cares about. I know his skills," Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio said at a Friday news conference from the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. "All of that tells me he is the right person for this job."

Word of Husted's selection began trickling out Friday morning, after it became clear that DeWine would announce his choice at an afternoon news conference. Signal Ohio first reported that DeWine had settled on Husted, and two sources with knowledge of the decision confirmed it to NBC News.

"This decision was not made lightly," Husted said while standing alongside his wife, Tina, and DeWine. "My family and I listened to the advice of so many people, including the governor and so many others."

Husted’s move has broader ramifications on Ohio’s political landscape, removing him from a long-planned run to succeed the term-limited DeWine as governor in 2026.

It also eases a path for biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has signaled interest in mounting his own campaign for governor. Ramaswamy took himself out of consideration for the Senate seat last fall, after agreeing to lead President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency alongside billionaire Elon Musk. But Ramaswamy, who lives in the Columbus area, resurfaced as a late contender for the Senate appointment in recent days and met last weekend with DeWine.

“Vivek’s base plan remains [the] same,” an Ohio operative familiar with Ramaswamy’s thinking, wrote in a text message. “To get accomplishments at DOGE and then announce a run for governor shortly.” 

Husted, 57, will hold the Senate seat at least through a 2026 special election to fill the remaining two years of Vance’s term. He had recently emerged as a leading contender, though there were questions about whether the post was in line with Husted's personal and political ambitions. DeWine had said appointing someone who could win a competitive Republican primary next year was among his chief considerations.

In an interview with NBC News, Husted confirmed that he will run to keep the seat. He said that he had spoken with Trump by phone Friday morning.

"He congratulated me, and I told him that he could count on me to be an ally," Husted said of Trump when asked if he believed he would have his endorsement in a GOP primary. "He is going to, I think, probably say something more about this next week. That's up to him. I'm not going to speak for him."

Husted also said he plans to vote to confirm each of Trump's Cabinet nominees.

"I think he deserves the team that he wants to lead America, and I'm going to support them," he added. 

DeWine and Husted discussed the upcoming race for governor and the Senate seat in a meeting with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort last month in Florida. Trump at the time made no commitment to endorsing Husted for either post, sources said. 

A Trump spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

Vance congratulated Husted in a post on X Friday, saying the two had spoken on the phone earlier in the day.

"Earlier today, I called Jon Husted to congratulate him on his appointment to the United States Senate. Look forward to working with both Jon and Bernie Moreno to Make America Great Again!" Vance wrote.

Disenfranchise Jon.

While Husted was DeWine’s preferred successor as governor, choosing Husted for the Senate vacancy reduces the risk that he loses a bruising primary to Ramaswamy, who would potentially bring Trump-movement cachet to the race.

And while DeWine’s decision removes a Ramaswamy rival, other prominent Republicans — including Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and state Treasurer Robert Sprague — have been preparing their own bids for governor.

"I was planning on running for governor ... that's what I had been preparing for," Husted said in the interview, acknowledging the hard choice to pivot away from a long-held aspiration. "All of a sudden you have an opportunity to be appointed to the U.S. Senate and work in a Republican Party with Republican president, and so then I paused, and I said, 'You have to think about this.'"

Husted said would wait to see who all runs for governor before deciding if he will endorse anyone. He noted that he has "had a long, good relationship with Vivek," who informally advised him during the pandemic and served on the board for the Husted-led InnovateOhio agency.

"I look forward to hearing what his plans are," Husted added, referring to Ramaswamy.

Trump is a political force in Ohio, where he has won three times by comfortable margins. He and DeWine were on opposite sides of last year’s GOP primary for the state’s other Senate seat — a race in which DeWine backed a state lawmaker loathed by much of Trump world over Trump-endorsed businessman Bernie Moreno. 

Moreno easily won the primary and went on to unseat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who has not ruled out running in next year’s special election for Vance’s old seat.

Brown better sit it out. He voted to ban TikTok. It is a wrap. He did 18 years and allowed the Israeli lobby push him out. He should have not voted to ban a popular app because of Israel under guise of "national security."

Husted and Moreno are backed by the Israeli lobby as well.

Husted, a former Ohio secretary of state and state House speaker, has long been part of the state's GOP establishment. Husted also has been a loyal governing partner for DeWine, who is not always on the same page, politically, as Trump. The governor took flack from the party's right-wing base for his early vigilance and lockdown orders during the pandemic.

"I've always been a conservative," Husted replied when asked how his politics fit in with Trump's. "I've been for balanced budgets, tax cuts and school choice and Second Amendment rights and less government and returning more power to the states. So those things are all pretty traditional Republican issues that I have been dedicated to, but I also agree with where the president wants to take America and that we want to be strong again, that we want to focus on the needs of the middle-class and working people."

DeWine and Husted have been allies since they ran together in 2018. Husted had plans to seek the governorship that year, as well, but he agreed to join DeWine’s ticket as lieutenant governor.

"Gov. DeWine has seen it all," Husted said. "He's been a U.S. senator. He's been a governor and in many other roles. And so the fact that he has a high opinion of me means a lot to me. But he didn't push me in this direction. Everybody's name who you hear out there would have taken this appointment, but he offered it to me, and I said, yes, but he didn't push."

DeWine said Friday that he interviewed "a large number of people" for the Senate post and heard from many others interested in the appointment. Though he mentioned no names, others who were in the mix to succeed Vance included Sprague, former state GOP chair Jane Timken, U.S. Rep. Mike Carey and former state Rep. Jay Edwards.

SCOTUS Shoots Down TikTok Request! Ban Moves Forward!

Nine assholes. The Supreme Court is out of touch like Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump. The justices reject TikTok’s request to hold off ban. The Court allows free speech to be stifled.

Y'all voted for this.

If anyone trolls you about condemning Hamas for Oct. 7, 2023, kindly ignore them or respectfully tell them that Israel has committed an illegal occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the West Bank. They shoot innocent civilians and indiscriminately bomb heavily populated areas in Gaza and the West Bank. 

Will you condemn the actions of Israel if I have to condemn Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas?

If you're upset over protests, why are you not upset over the treatment of innocent people being killed by Israel?

If you're upset over TikTok being a danger, why are you not upset over X, Instagram, Facebook, Rumble, Threads, YouTube and Truth Social?

The U.S. Supreme Court, President Joe Biden, President Donald J. Trump, Israel and the Congress can go fuck themselves.

The Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the federal law banning TikTok beginning Sunday unless it’s sold by its China-based parent company, holding that the risk to national security posed by its ties to China overcomes concerns about limiting speech by the app or its 170 million users in the United States.

The risk to national security is the silencing of the freedoms.

Republicans do it.

Democrats do it.

The ones who voted against the ban include some of the insufferable members.

18 Senators voted against the ban.

A sale does not appear imminent and, although experts have said the app will not disappear from existing users’ phones once the law takes effect on Jan. 19, new users won’t be able to download it and updates won’t be available. That will eventually render the app unworkable, the Justice Department has said in court filings.

The decision came against the backdrop of unusual political agitation by President-elect Donald Trump, who vowed that he could negotiate a solution and the administration of President Joe Biden, which has signaled it won’t enforce the law beginning Sunday, his final full day in office.

So we ban things based on allegations!

We stifle free speech because of an app that is financed in another country.

I guess that means all the other apps based out of countries outside the U.S. will be forced to sell or be banned. Trust me, the Court is clearly out of touch.

Trump, mindful of TikTok’s popularity, and his own 14.7 million followers on the app, finds himself on the opposite side of the argument from prominent Senate Republicans who fault TikTok’s Chinese owner for not finding a buyer before now. Trump said in a Truth Social post shortly before the decision was issued that TikTok was among the topics in his conversation Friday with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

So much for saving the soul of the nation.

It’s unclear what options are open to Trump once he is sworn in as president on Monday. The law allowed for a 90-day pause in the restrictions on the app if there had been progress toward a sale before it took effect. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who defended the law at the Supreme Court for the Democratic Biden administration, told the justices last week that it’s uncertain whether the prospect of a sale once the law is in effect could trigger a 90-day respite for TikTok.

“Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary,” the court said in an unsigned opinion, adding that the law “does not violate petitioners’ First Amendment rights.”

Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch filed short separate opinions noting some reservations about the court’s decision but going along with the outcome.

“Without doubt, the remedy Congress and the President chose here is dramatic,” Gorsuch wrote. Still, he said he was persuaded by the argument that China could get access to “vast troves of personal information about tens of millions of Americans.”

Some digital rights groups slammed the court’s ruling shortly after it was released.

“Today’s unprecedented decision upholding the TikTok ban harms the free expression of hundreds of millions of TikTok users in this country and around the world,” said Kate Ruane, a director at the Washington-based Center for Democracy & Technology, which has supported TikTok’s challenge to the federal law.

Content creators who opposed the law also worried about the effect on their business if TikTok shuts down. “I’m very, very concerned about what’s going to happen over the next couple weeks,” said Desiree Hill, owner of Crown’s Corner mechanic shop in Conyers, Georgia. “And very scared about the decrease that I’m going to have in reaching customers and worried I’m going to potentially lose my business in the next six months.”

Y'all voted for this. Democrat and Republican lawmakers are getting too comfortable. It is time to shake them up a bit. No more backing long term candidates. 

At arguments, the justices were told by a lawyer for TikTok and ByteDance Ltd., the Chinese technology company that is its parent, how difficult it would be to consummate a deal, especially since Chinese law restricts the sale of the proprietary algorithm that has made the social media platform wildly successful.

The app allows users to watch hundreds of videos in about half an hour because some are only a few seconds long, according to a lawsuit filed last year by Kentucky complaining that TikTok is designed to be addictive and harms kids’ mental health. Similar suits were filed by more than a dozen states. TikTok has called the claims inaccurate.

The dispute over TikTok’s ties to China has come to embody the geopolitical competition between Washington and Beijing.

American scholar John Mearsheimer claims Israeli lobbies are pushing US lawmakers to ban TikTok in order to maintain the narrative and suppress pro-Palestinian voices.

“ByteDance and its Chinese Communist masters had nine months to sell TikTok before the Sunday deadline,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote on X. “The very fact that Communist China refuses to permit its sale reveals exactly what TikTok is: a communist spy app. The Supreme Court correctly rejected TikTok’s lies and propaganda masquerading as legal arguments.”

The U.S. has said it’s concerned about TikTok collecting vast swaths of user data, including sensitive information on viewing habits, that could fall into the hands of the Chinese government through coercion. Officials have also warned the algorithm that fuels what users see on the app is vulnerable to manipulation by Chinese authorities, who can use it to shape content on the platform in a way that’s difficult to detect.

TikTok points out the U.S. has not presented evidence that China has attempted to manipulate content on its U.S. platform or gather American user data through TikTok.

Bipartisan majorities in Congress passed legislation and Biden signed it into law in April. The law was the culmination of a yearslong saga in Washington over TikTok, which the government sees as a national security threat.

TikTok, which sued the government last year over the law, has long denied it could be used as a tool of Beijing. A three-judge panel made up of two Republican appointees and a Democratic appointee unanimously upheld the law in December, prompting TikTok’s quick appeal to the Supreme Court.

Without a sale to an approved buyer, the law bars app stores operated by Apple, Google and others from offering TikTok beginning on Sunday. Internet hosting services also will be prohibited from hosting TikTok.

ByteDance has said it won’t sell. But some Zionists have been eyeing it, including Trump’s former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and billionaire businessman Frank McCourt. McCourt’s Project Liberty initiative has said it and its unnamed partners have presented a proposal to ByteDance to acquire TikTok’s U.S. assets. The consortium, which includes “Shark Tank” host Kevin O’Leary, did not disclose the financial terms of the offer.

McCourt, in a statement following the ruling, said his group was “ready to work with the company and President Trump to complete a deal.”

Prelogar told the justices last week that having the law take effect “might be just the jolt” ByteDance needs to reconsider its position.

So in the final days of Biden-Harris, he ends his term as one of the most unpopular presidents in the 21st Century. He joins Trump in being a terrible decision maker.

TikTok Ban On Hold (For Now)!

Over 245 million users in the U.S. alone. About 2 billion worldwide. TikTok the No. 1 app in the world. Biden backs off the ban after costing Democrats the election.

After costing the Democrats the majority in Congress and the White House, President Joe Biden finally has a coming to Jesus moment.

The president got the long awaited ceasefire between apartheid Israel and Hamas.

Israel has already moved the goalpost and is violating the terms.

The law that required TikTok to divest from China to an American (Zionist) company is on hold. Biden will not enforce the law that he signed in July.

Biden won’t enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office on Monday, a U.S. official said Thursday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.

Congress last year, in a law signed by Biden, required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19, a day before the presidential inauguration. The official said the outgoing administration was leaving the implementation of the law — and the potential enforcement of the ban — to Trump.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal Biden administration thinking.

Trump, who once called to ban the app, has since pledged to keep it available in the U.S., though his transition team has not said how they intend to accomplish that.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend Trump’s inauguration and be granted a prime seating location on the dais as the president-elect’s national security adviser signals that the incoming administration may take steps to “keep TikTok from going dark.”

Incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz on Thursday told Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that the federal law that could ban TikTok by Sunday also “allows for an extension as long as a viable deal is on the table.”

The push to save TikTok, much like the move to ban it in the U.S., has crossed partisan lines. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he spoke with Biden on Thursday to advocate for extending the deadline to ban TikTok.

“It’s clear that more time is needed to find an American buyer and not disrupt the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans, of so many influencers who have built up a good network of followers,” Schumer said Thursday on the Senate floor.

One final hurrah before leaving.

Democrats had tried on Wednesday to pass legislation that would have extended the deadline, but Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas blocked it. Cotton, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that TikTok has had ample time to find a buyer.

“TikTok is a Chinese Communist spy app that addicts our kids, harvests their data, targets them with harmful and manipulative content, and spreads communist propaganda,” Cotton said.

TikTok CEO’s is expected to be seated on the dais for the inauguration along with tech billionaires Elon Musk, who is CEO of SpaceX, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, according to two people with the matter. The people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning.

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a legal challenge to the statute brought by TikTok, its China-based parent company ByteDance, and users of the app. The Justices seemed likely to uphold the law, which requires ByteDance to divest TikTok on national security grounds or face a ban in one of its biggest markets.

“If the Supreme Court comes out with a ruling in favor of the law, President Trump has been very clear: Number one, TikTok is a great platform that many Americans use and has been great for his campaign and getting his message out. But number two, he’s going to protect their data,” Waltz said on Wednesday.

“He’s a deal maker. I don’t want to get ahead of our executive orders, but we’re going to create this space to put that deal in place,” he added.

Separately on Wednesday, Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for attorney general, dodged a question during a Senate hearing on whether she’d uphold a TikTok ban.

Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He pledged to “save TikTok” during the campaign and has credited the platform with helping him win more youth votes.

Bob Uecker Passed Away!

The legendary baseball man, Bob Uecker passed away.

The man they named Mr. Baseball.

Bob Uecker, a famed baseball star, sports announcer, actor, comedian and activist passed away at the age of 90.

If you're a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, you knew him. If you're an 80s baby like myself, you knew his role on the TV sitcom, Mr. Belvedere. Also his roles in the film series, Major League with Charlie Sheen.

The Milwaukee Brewers, whose games Uecker had broadcast for over half a century, announced his death Thursday morning, calling it “one of the most difficult days in Milwaukee Brewers history.” In a statement released by the club, Uecker’s family said he had battled small cell lung cancer since early 2023.

“Even in the face of this challenge, his enthusiasm for life was always present, never allowing his spirit to falter,” the family said.

Uecker was best known as a colorful comedian and broadcaster whose sense of humor and self-deprecating style earned him fame and affection beyond his .200 batting average.

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Uecker was a beloved member of the community and a pillar of the sport. He had broadcast Brewers games for the last 54 seasons.

“Even with his considerable success in Hollywood, Bob remained fiercely loyal to baseball and to Milwaukee,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “He loved the game and used his platform to help numerous charitable causes in his hometown and beyond.

“Bob was the genuine item: always the funniest person in any room he was in, and always an outstanding ambassador for our national pastime. We are grateful for this baseball life like no other, and we will never forget him.”

When the Brewers clinched the NL Central title in 2024, manager Pat Murphy threw an arm around Uecker in the locker room, pulling him in tight as players white-knuckled their bottle corks, ready to shower “Mr. Baseball” in Champagne.

“There is no one — there is no one — who epitomizes a champion the way this man does right here,” Murphy proclaimed as the players chanted “UUUUUECK.”

No one could do it better.

As news of Uecker’s death spread, numerous fans converged at his statue outside American Family Field. They paid their respects by leaving flowers, Brewers caps and even cans of the Miller Lite beer he endorsed at the base of the statue.

“He’s the narrator to all the best times of a couple of generations’ lives,” said Shawn Bosman of Franklin, Wisconsin, who visited the statue with his mother.

Kairee Larson, a longtime Brewers season-ticket holder who lives just down the road from the stadium, said after leaving flowers by the statue that Uecker’s call of Ryan Braun’s walk-off grand slam in a 2008 late-season victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates remains her ringtone to this day.

“One of the things I thought today was my baby that’s due any day is not going to hear that iconic voice,” Larson said.

Uecker signed his first professional contract with the Milwaukee Braves in 1956 and reached the majors in 1962. He’d last six seasons in the big leagues as a backup catcher, finishing with a .200 average and 14 homers.

He won a World Series ring with St. Louis in 1964 and also played for Atlanta and Philadelphia.

“Career highlights? I had two,” he often joked. “I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets.”

Uecker also befriended former Brewers owner and baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, who initially hired him as a scout. Selig liked to joke about how Uecker’s initial scouting report was stained with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Selig eventually brought Uecker to the broadcast booth. Uecker became the voice of the Brewers in 1971, in the second year after the team moved from Seattle.

Uecker remained with the club from that point on. Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell, who managed the Brewers from 2015-23, grew up in the Milwaukee area and remembered spending summer days throwing a baseball against the roof and catching it while listening to Uecker’s broadcasts.

Milwaukee Brewers knew Ueck in the booth with a Miller Lite and a play by play.

“There’s no single person in this franchise’s history who has been as iconic and as important as Bob Uecker,” said Jeff Levering, a member of the Brewers’ broadcast team since 2015.

“Ueck” got his big break off the field after opening for Don Rickles at Al Hirt’s nightclub in Atlanta in 1969. That performance caught Hirt’s attention, and the musician set him up to appear on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson. He became one of Carson’s favorite guests, making more than 100 appearances.

Carson was the one who dubbed Uecker “Mr. Baseball.” And the name stuck.

Even as his celebrity status grew nationwide, Uecker savored the opportunity to continue calling games in his hometown.

“To be able to do a game each and every day throughout the summer and talk to people every day at 6:30 for a night game, you become part of people’s families,” Uecker once said.

Uecker was honored by the Hall of Fame with the Ford C. Frick Award in 2003 and spent nearly 20 minutes keeping the Cooperstown, New York, crowd of about 18,000 in stitches.

“I still — and this is not sour grapes by any means — still think I should have gone in as a player,” he quipped.

Uecker’s comedy was just a part of his abilities. His warm storytelling and delivery made him a natural to become one of the first color commentators on network TV broadcasts in the 1970s with ABC. In the ’90s, he teamed up with Bob Costas and Joe Morgan for the World Series.

From there, Uecker reached most households as one of the Miller Lite All-Stars in popular commercials for the beer brand based out of Milwaukee and Uecker later launched his TV acting career in 1985 on the ABC sitcom, “Mr. Belvedere.”

Uecker played George Owens during the successful 122-episode run of the series that lasted six years, as the head of the family and sports writer in a home that brings in a butler who struggles to adapt to an American household.

In a bit of casting that kept things pretty close to home, Uecker also played a prominent role in the movies “Major League” (1989) and “Major League II” (1994) as crass announcer Harry Doyle for a down-and-out Cleveland Indians franchise that finds a way to become playoff contenders.

“I’m part of American folklore, I guess,” Uecker told The Associated Press in 2003. “But I’m not a Hollywood guy. Baseball and broadcasting are in my blood.”

His wry description of a badly wayward pitch — “Juuuust a bit outside!” — in the movie is still often-repeated by announcers and fans at ballparks all over.

Mr. Belvedere was a hit sitcom in the late 1980s.

Uecker’s acting left some to believe he was more about being funny than a serious baseball announcer, but his tenure and observations with the Brewers were spot on, especially when games were tight. Equally enjoyable were games that weren’t, when Uecker would tell stories about other major leaguers, his own career and his hobbies as an avid fisherman and golfer.

“I don’t think anyone wants to hear somebody screwing around when you got a good game going,” Uecker said. “I think people see ‘Major League’ and they think Harry Doyle and figure that’s what Bob Uecker does. I do that sometimes, I do. But when we’ve got a good game going, I don’t mess around.”

Uecker presided over the stirring ceremony that closed Milwaukee County Stadium in 2000. When the Brewers’ new stadium opened as Miller Park in 2001, the team began selling “Uecker seats” high in the upper deck and obstructed for a $1.

The stadium, now known as American Family Field, has two statues in Uecker’s honor. There’s one outside the stadium and another in the back of Section 422, a nod to the Miller Lite commercial in which he famously said “I must be in the front row!” while getting taken to one of the worst seats in the ballpark.

Another Uecker classic: “When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.”

After the Brewers were eliminated from the playoffs in 2024, Uecker’s last season, “Mr. Baseball” made sure to visit the locker room and offer support to players in a way only he could. Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said afterward the toughest part of the night was talking to Uecker because the Brewers knew how badly the longtime broadcaster wanted to see Milwaukee win a World Series.

“I remember you saying that no matter how much time you have, it still never feels like enough, and that seems pretty true today,” Yelich said Thursday in an Instagram post. “You’d always thank me for my friendship, but the truth of it is the pleasure was all mine. I’ll miss you, my friend.”
