Israel Cuts The Power!

Israel is evil.

The AP had did a piece that favors Israel. I had to rework this.

Israel destroys humanitarian aid during Ramadan. Then they decide to cut off the electricity and water to strain the resources. There is a huge fire in Gaza and the first responders are trying to stop it. But the Israeli Defence Forces are attacking them.

The U.S. is demanding Hamas release the hostages. 

You mean the settlers and IDF soliders held in Gaza.

Students who are on student visas are being deported for daring to speak out against the inhumane actions of Israel. Many are sacrificing their careers to stand up for Palestinians.

For the first time, more Americans are opposing the actions of Israel.

But don't tell Congress and President Donald J. Trump.

Republicans are trying to pass legislation that forbids foreign flags from being flown on federal and state buildings. Israel might get a pass.

But the Ukraine flag, the Pride flag, the Palestinian flag and the Transgender flag are going to be banned.

Israelis are being denied entry in several Global South countries.

155 countries have voted for an independent Palestine. 

The apartheid ethnostate is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects of that are not immediately clear, but the territory’s desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.

Sunday’s announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people. It has sought to press Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.

Hamas has stood firm on the ceasefire. Israel continues to delay the negotiations on the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase. The resistance on Sunday said it wrapped up the latest round of ceasefire talks with Egyptian mediators without changes to its position, calling for an immediate start of the ceasefire’s second phase.

The new letter from Israel’s energy minister to the Israel Electric Corporation tells it to stop selling power to Gaza.

Thanks to Israel's indiscriminate bombing, Gaza has been largely devastated by the war, and generators and solar panels are used for some of the power supply.

The ceasefire has been violated by Israel. Despite this ceasefire, it has been the deadliest and most destructive fighting ever between Israel and Hamas. Israel has accused Hamas of the attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.  Israel used the Hannibal Directive to kill settlers and placed the blame on Hamas. The first phase was shaky but it allowed the return of 25 living settlers and IDF soliders. The remains of eight settlers were released in exchange of nearly 2,000 Palestinians.

Israel has attacked humanitarian aid.

Israeli forces have not withdrawn to buffer zones inside Gaza, hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza for the first time and are still being killed by the apartheid. There is rampant delays to hundreds of trucks delivering aid. Israel suspended supplies to prolong the conflict.

Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

Again, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing religious beliefs, there is no antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.

To clear up the AP's account of Oct. 7, the Israelis used the Hannibal Directive to massacre the settlers to prevent Hamas from taking IDF soliders. The IDF has used the weapons to kill settlers at a festival.

Hamas has been very clear on who they targeted. They targeted the IDF and the walls. They do not target civilians. Israel has exaggerated the way this went down.

They have used American weapons to kill settlers, doctors, humanitarian aid workers, UN peacekeepers and their own IDF soliders. Israel has killed Americans, British, German, Australian, Canadians and French citizens. 

No investigations were carried out to why Israel targeted them.

Israel refuses to allow independent monitors into Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.

IDF soliders who refuse to carry out orders are often taken out by snipers.

The "hostages" were IDF soliders. 

Israel has violated the ceasefire. They are planning on invading Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. They have stopped humanitarian aid as Ramadan begins. They want the U.S. to start a war with Iran.

They are getting $8 billion from the Trump administration and are planning on a systematic strike on Iran's nuclear power plants. Israel is planning on interfering in South African elections. Turkey and Egypt have warned they will use military force if Israel does forciable removal of the Palestinians.

American taxpayers are funding a genocide.

The supporters of former president Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris are playing on this "We tried to warn you" nonsense. How can you morally stand on principles of being a progressive and back Israel?

First and foremost, Americans have a right to vote for whomever they chose.

Second, Harris failed to win over voters. She stuck with former president Joe Biden on the economy, Israel, Ukraine, immigration and inflation. The former president failed to listen to voters and his base.

The former president gave unilateral support and cover. We knew Trump would be worse. We demanded that Biden put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel to stop killing and invading other countries.

That shows the "tone deafness" within the Democratic Party. 

It is not Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) fault for Biden and Harris' missteps. She warned them that Arab Americans did not like being ignored. 

Those fucking hypocrites sat in silence as Israel is killing women and children.

They can fuck themselves.

Israel has killed Americans. No one was held accountable.

The killing of Rachel Corrie did not move George W. Bush to cut Israel loose.

The deaths of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, Tawfiq Abdel Jabbar, Mohammad Khdour, Omar Assad, Shireen Abu Akleh, Jacob Flickinger and Kamel Ahmad Jawad were never investigated by the U.S. Justice Department.

Mask off.

Resistance is not terrorism.

Occupation of oppressed people is not peace.

A two state solution is "separate but equal" and a de facto apartheid.

Telling other countries to take Palestinians is ethnic cleansing.

A sovereignty seizing land in a violent conflict is a war crime.

The double standard in media coverage is the Israelis are hostages and the Palestinians are prisoners. Some of the Palestinians held in Israeli custody are children under the age of 14. 

When Russia seized Ukrainian land and Crimea, the U.S. pushed for sanctions.

When Israel seized Lebanese and Syrian land, the U.S. recognized it as Israeli sovereignty. They have actively rejected sanctions imposed on Israel.

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.

The U.S. and Israel are hand and hand in violent conflicts.

Israel is the red line. If any lawmaker, entertainer, athlete or social media influncer backs the apartheid ethnostate, they face a boycott. 

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.

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

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to", "illegal immigrants" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering costs, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and legislators avoid influence from lobbyists.

The Resistance Must Stop Israel!✊️🇵🇸

Israel Must Fall......

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Lindsey Graham Got Rent Boys Calling His Number!

Graham gay.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has allegedly paid gay male sex workers. It is an allegation but no concrete evidence other than.... social media.

Graham, a staunch supporter of Israel and unrepentant extremist has become a target of criticism. He also supported the end of equal marriage.

Graham, a longtime bachelor has always been questioned by the junk food media.

He apparently is closeted and five years ago, he paid men for sex. He also made them sign non-disclosure agreements to prevent them from telling the junk food media.

Allegations doesn't merit proof. Graham has a shady history though.

With Graham openly supporting Trump’s threats on Gaza, Iran and Ukraine, the warmonger is being exposed.

An army of gay escorts are claiming, Graham used their services for years and are trying to figure out how to get around the NDA he has them all sign. It is rumored that DC male escorts now Senator Graham as "Lady G."

You Realized You Done....

I don't know know what's going on here, but rest assured we will get to the bottom of this.

Floridah...

A viral video of a Florida police officer pulling over a Black motorist.

The officer got a "damn I fucked up" moment when he pulled over the motorist.

Right off the bat the officer was condescending and rude.

The incident happened on Jan. 18, 2025 and it was posted on social media this month.

And this happens quite frequently.

President Donald J. Trump with his attempts to eliminate DEI and federal agencies could impact these type of events. Trump also wants to eliminate the need to hold police accountable if they kill unarmed suspects (if they had criminal convictions).

Trump, a felon claims to be on the side of the police while pardoning the criminals who committed an act of sedition on Jan. 6, 2021.

What I am talking about is FBI agents working undercover and being pulled over.

Black agents are being detained or arrested by police officers.

When you are a federal agent going undercover, most agents will not reveal their identity at risk of compromising an investigation. When an officer gets in his feelings, it becomes a problem.

The motorist was insulted by the officer. He called the motorist a gang banger.

The officer demanded if he had an ID. The motorist said its around his chest.

The officer pulls out a federal agent badge. The officer did not buy it at first and thus questioned why he didn't acknowledge he was a cop. The motorist who is a FBI agent said you failed at not acknowledging his right for a supervisor.

The officer would insult him more by calling him an alphabet cop and pencil pusher. The agent said that he was doing an investigation and the officer's interference made his job more difficult. The officer then claimed the agent was under the influence.

"The badge doesn't make a difference," said the agent. 

The agent wrapped up the conversation with a promise to get to the bottom of this officer's conduct toward people of color during traffic stops.

The officer likely has other offenses against him and the FBI will get to the bottom of this.

When the agent was released he said that will talk to his supervisor and will make sure there will be repercussions.

It was so satisfying.

Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) and most Republican members of the U.S. House are idiots. President Donald J. Trump who resides in Florida is the first American leader who is a convicted felon. He was impeached twice during his first term. Trump is a useful idiot. And we can thank the former Democratic president for allowing the Trump show to continue.

His predecessor's failure to save the "soul of the nation" led to his chaotic return.

Joe Biden allowed Israel to ruin his reelection bid and Kamala Harris' presidential bid. 

Now Trump and Vice President JD Vance are ruining their legacy already by siding with Israel, disrupting American workers, putting unnecessary pain and hardship on American consumers. 

Again, the United States must end its police partnership program with the apartheid ethnostate of Israel and hold this apartheid ethnostate accountable.

We must end racial bias when police officers pull over motorists.

We as Americans must flex our rights when it comes to pullovers.

If we are seen committing a crime, then due process is thrown out. Looking suspicious or acting strangely doesn't merit any illegal search or seizure.

You have a right to why you are pulled over, a right to demand a supervisor or question why you are being detained.

You have a right to stay silent. However, you must identify yourself when pulled over although you can choose to stay silent but it could lead to arrest. The police have a lawful right to identify a person.

More Americans Are Missing Car Payments!

America is heading into an economic crisis.

Y'all voted for this.

Car payments.

Giving billions to Israel is coming to head.

Americans including myself are working day to day and still not seeing the enjoyment of a paycheck. Now you are stuck between surviving or failing.

For the first time in over 30 years, Americans are falling behind in car payments.

And this is because of inflation, the loss of a job or an expensive medical bill.

President Donald J. Trump elected on the economy has not released any policies to help Americans when they are in need of crucial funds to own a home or a vehicle.

For the first time in my life, I am behind a set amount of savings. I am fiscally conservative and I now have to cut back on a lot of things. 

I am exhausted of working two jobs. Now I work one job and its not paying enough. I haven't had a vacation in years. I haven't seen my son in nearly a year. I am not happy at my job. I am not happy about the wages. I am burned out and I feel like there is no alternatives.

I had a better paying job but lost it nearly three years ago.

Private employers are tightening up on hiring. They are abandoning DEI and most Republican controlled states are "at will" employment.

With Americans losing their jobs, homes and livelihood, the next step is chaos.

The average new model vehicle cost $50,000 and most Americans are paying over $1,000 a month. The U.S. car buyer is tightening up.

Also the late payments are hitting every income bracket.

According to Fitch Ratings, 6.56% of subprime auto borrowers were are at least 60 days past due on their loans in January, the most since the agency began collecting the data in 1994.

The findings highlight the financial strain many Americans are feeling, as rising costs and high interest rates make it harder to keep up with their bills.

A recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York also found more borrowers falling behind on their car payments. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the share of auto loans among all borrowers that transitioned into serious delinquency — 90 days or more past due — rose to 3%, the highest level since 2010.

“Higher car prices combined with higher interest rates have driven monthly payments upward and have put pressure on consumers across the income and credit score spectrum,” researchers at the New York Fed wrote.

The cost of buying a new car has risen more than $10,000 since the pandemic, from roughly $38,000 in January 2020 to more than $48,500 in January 2025, according to Cox Automotive data.

Elevated interest rates have added to the pain, pushing up the cost of financing in recent years.

The average monthly payment for a new car loan was $755 in January — down from the $795 peak in December 2022 but well above the $566 average in 2019, per Cox Automotive.

President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs could drive up car prices even further, by as much as $12,000, according to one analysis.

That concern was so widely held that Trump granted a one-month exemption on his new tariffs specifically for auto imports from Mexico and Canada.

Mexico and Canada are the top U.S. trading partners for both motor vehicles and parts, meaning Trump’s 25% tariffs could hurt consumers and automakers alike.

According to Fitch, those with higher credit scores, so-called “prime” borrowers, are faring a bit better when it comes to their car payments. In January, 0.39% of prime borrowers were at least 60 days past due on their car loans, up from 0.35% a year ago.

According to Bloomberg, Fitch defines subprime auto borrowers as those with credit scores of 640 or less.

Blood In The North: Mass Shooting In Toronto!

Mass shooting in Toronto.

Even rare incidents of mass shootings happen in the Dominion. There were at least 10 mass shootings in the past five years.

Canada had its first mass shooting of the year.

The U.S. has 65 mass shootings this year alone and we're only in March.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Primer Doug Ford were notified of a mass shooting inside a Toronto nightclub. 

Mayor Olivia Chow was informed of the overnight shooting.

Toronto is the largest city in Canada. It is the capital of Ontario with a population of 3.5 million residents. The Greater Toronto Area has a population of 6 million. 

A dozen people were injured in a shooting at an eastern Toronto pub in what police called a reckless act of violence by three men who entered the bar and fired randomly without warning.

Superintendent Paul MacIntyre of the Toronto Police Service said police received numerous emergency calls reporting a shooting at the Piper Arms around 10:40 p.m. Friday.

A preliminary investigation determined three males entered the pub and began shooting at customers, MacIntyre said during a news conference at the scene. There were no immediate arrests.

“One male was armed with what appears to be an assault rifle, the other two males were armed with handguns, and they walked into the bar, they produced their guns and they opened fire indiscriminately on the people sitting inside,” MacIntyre said, adding there were no fatalities.

Police arrived at the scene and found 12 people suffering from various injuries. The victims were transported to local hospitals and six were confirmed to have gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening, MacIntyre said, calling the victims “extremely lucky.” The remaining six victims were hurt by flying and broken glass.

The motive was not immediately clear, MacIntyre said, calling the shooting “a brazen and reckless act of violence that’s really shaken our community and the city itself.”

MacIntyre said he and other officers were “horrified” by what they saw on a security video. “These guys just looked at the ground and opened fire,” he said.

Shortly after the shooting, police said a suspect wearing a black balaclava was seen fleeing in a silver car and was still at large after the shooting. People were being warned to stay away from the area.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said she had spoken to Police Chief Myron Demkiw and was told “all necessary resources” had been deployed.

Although rare, Canada does have mass shootings.

“This is an early and ongoing investigation — police will provide further details,” Chow wrote on social media. “My thoughts are with the victims and their families.”

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. 

Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. 

Expect more.

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

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

D'Wayne Wiggins Passed Away!

D'Wayne Wiggins passed away from cancer.

The California sound.

R&B legend D’Wayne Wiggins died Friday morning, the Wiggins family said in a social media post, saying he’d been “privately and courageously battling bladder cancer” for the last year.

Wiggins, 64, was a founding member of Tony! Toni! Toné!, a Bay Area R&B trio that rose to prominence in the late 1980s. Wiggins’ brother Raphael Saadiq and cousin Timothy Christian Riley rounded out the rest of the trio.

Among the band’s many hits are “Feels Good,” “It Never Rains In Southern California,” and “Let’s Get Down.”

Beyond his music, Wiggins also served as a mentor to other young artists in the early stages of their careers, including Beyoncé, Keyshia Cole, Kehlani and Zendaya, according to San Francisco radio station KQED.

“D’Wayne’s life was incomparable, and his music and service impacted millions around the world, including in his hometown of Oakland, California,” the family said.

“He was deeply passionate about providing artist development and mentorship to emerging young musicians, helping to shape the early careers of many.”

Tim, Raphael and D'Wayne were Tony! Toni! Tone!

Underscoring Wiggins’ community-building efforts, the City of Oakland remembered the “true legend” in a separate post on Friday:

Dwayne Wiggins was more than an artist—he was a visionary, a mentor, and a champion for his community. His influence stretched across the globe, yet he remained deeply rooted in the city that shaped him. Through his music, leadership, and unwavering dedication, he uplifted generations and left an indelible mark on our hearts. We are devastated by his passing but forever grateful for the light he shared with us all.

The Wiggins family closed with a request for privacy, adding, “We mourn with you, and are deeply grateful for your love and support.”

Cuomo The Return!

Democrats are destined to losing. 

Embattled New York City mayor Eric Adams has not ruled out running for reelection. However, the independent has a challenger who is also controversial.

Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has announced he will run for mayor.

Adams and Cuomo are staunch supporters of Israel. So it would be the return of status quo politics when it comes to the New York Police Department and their Israeli-trained tactics.

More plain clothes officers.

More stop-and-frisk.

More surveillance on Muslims, Latinos and Blacks.

More tolls.

More pullovers for out of state travelers.

More accusations from the far right and Trump of being soft on crime when in reality, they're more tough on crime.

More ridiculous symbolism.

So we can't criticize Israel on college campuses. 

Democrats and Republicans are working hand and hand to suppress your freedoms. They both claim that each side is a threat but in reality, they both are.

I am at a point where I rather start voting for candidates that support my issues.

I will no longer vote based on the party. 

Cuomo announced Saturday that he is running for mayor of New York City, relaunching his political career following a yearslong exile over a barrage of sexual harassment accusations.

In a 17-minute video, Cuomo pitched himself as an accomplished moderate who can save a city he described as threatening and “out of control,” and is capable of navigating the delicate balance between working with Republican President Donald Trump and fighting him, when necessary.

“I am not saying this is going to be easy. It won’t be easy, but I know we can turn the city around, and I believe I can help,” he said.

The Democrat is expected to mount a formidable campaign, despite entering the race deeply wounded by the scandal that forced his resignation as governor in 2021.

He takes on a large field of primary opponents with low name recognition plus an incumbent, Adams, who — for now — remains under indictment on federal corruption charges and under scrutiny from critics who question his independence from Trump.

Cuomo brings fundraising prowess, a record of accomplishments over three terms as governor and potential support among moderate voters who helped propel Adams to office.

Yet it is unclear whether voters are willing to give Cuomo another chance following his remarkable downfall, when he went from being hailed for his leadership during the onslaught of COVID-19 to being castigated for his behavior with women and questioned about his pandemic response.

Eric Adams should be concerned. His leadership is on the verge of collapse.

In his campaign video, Cuomo acknowledged past “mistakes” but did not directly address the harassment allegations.

“Did I always do everything right in my years of government service? Of course not,” he said. “Would I do some things differently knowing what I know now — certainly. Did I make mistakes, some painfully? Definitely, and I believe I learned from them and that I am a better person for it, and I hope to show that every day.”

Adams, caught on a city street by a Politico reporter Saturday, welcomed Cuomo to the race.

“Come one, come all. Everybody should put their position forward,” Adams said. “I have a great record to run on. We look forward to the campaign.”

Plotting a comeback

Cuomo had been circling a return to politics for years while his lawyers and political consultants kept trying to discredit his accusers.

At least 11 women credibly accused him of harassment that included unwanted kissing and touching and remarks about their looks and sex lives, according to a report released by New York’s attorney general. One aide filed a criminal complaint accusing Cuomo of grabbing her breast when they were alone in the governor’s mansion.

Cuomo denied the sexual assault allegation, which a prosecutor ultimately dropped, citing a lack of enough proof to get a conviction.

Cuomo, 67, said he did not intentionally mistreat women and had simply fallen behind the times of what was considered appropriate workplace conduct.

Taxpayers spent millions of dollars defending him and his aides against lawsuits related to the allegations.

The first woman to publicly accuse Cuomo of harassment, Lindsey Boylan, wrote in an essay published in Vanity Fair on Saturday that New York “deserves better.”

She said that rather than repent and atone, Cuomo has waged a “vengeful” legal campaign against his accusers.

“While the women who worked for and with Cuomo may no longer be subject to inappropriate behavior, misconduct, or sexual harassment, some of us remain the victims of what could be interpreted as an ongoing campaign that weaponizes the legal system as a tactic for retribution,” Boylan wrote.

She added that even though she never sued Cuomo, she has spent $1.5 million on lawyers to respond to subpoenas in his other cases.

A crowded Democratic primary

There are already several candidates vying to beat Adams in June.

Among them are city Comptroller Brad Lander, state Sen. Zellnor Myrie, state Sen. Jessica Ramos, state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani and former city Comptroller Scott Stringer, who was a front-runner in the mayor’s race four years ago until a woman accused him of groping and kissing her without her consent 20 years earlier.

In a statement, Ramos called Cuomo a “corrupt bully” who “brings nothing to this race but baggage.”

Myrie said New York shouldn’t be forced to relive “the Andrew Cuomo show.”

“We deserve better than selfish leaders who spent decades in office putting their desire for power above New Yorkers’ needs,” Myrie said.

Adams is a vulnerable incumbent

The mayor is facing a tempest over the U.S. Justice Department’s extraordinary effort to end the criminal case against him over the objection of the prosecutors who brought the charges.

An indictment said Adams accepted luxury travel perks and illegal campaign contributions from people who wanted to buy his influence, including a Turkish official and other foreign nationals.

After Trump took office, a top Justice Department official ordered prosecutors to dismiss the charges so Adams could focus on assisting the president’s immigration agenda, while leaving open the possibility that charges could be refiled after the election.

The dynamic led critics to claim that Adams struck a deal to help Trump’s immigration crackdown in exchange for legal salvation.

Adams has strongly denied such an arrangement, while resisting intense pressure to step down. Some of his top deputies announced plans to resign in protest.

Long rise to power, quick fall

Cuomo started in politics working for his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, and later became U.S. housing secretary under President Bill Clinton and New York attorney general before being elected governor in 2010.

His star power was highest during the pandemic, when his televised daily briefings attracted admirers who saw him as a steady hand during a frightening time. The briefings led to a more than $5 million book deal to write “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons From the Covid-19 Pandemic.”

But women began coming forward in late 2020 and early 2021 to accuse Cuomo of misconduct, and he faced a potential impeachment before stepping down. A state ethics panel concluded that he improperly used taxpayer resources to prepare and edit his book.

Questions about COVID-19 in nursing homes

Cuomo was further damaged by allegations that his administration unintentionally contributed to a wave of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes by initially barring them from refusing to readmit virus patients discharged from hospitals.

The governor said the allegations were baseless, but his administration was found to have substantially undercounted nursing home deaths as it sought to deflect criticism.

Cuomo still has a significant campaign war chest that, technically, he could draw on. But the process of transferring state donations to a city committee would be complicated and require each donor to sign off, a potentially burdensome effort.

Cloverleaf And Sunshine! 🍀🌞

The most polarizing president and vice president insults world leaders, impose crippling tariffs, criminalize free speech and launch McCarthyism on behalf of Israel.

And more chaos.

FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸!

I've decided to carry on. I want President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance to fail. I want Israel to fail. And fail they shall.

And I am not ashamed to say it.

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

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 151,000 in February, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.1 percent. Employment trended up in health care, financial activities, transportation and warehousing, and social assistance. Federal government employment declined.

Economic data like unemployment is useful for the Federal Reserve to determine what to do next with interest rates. The Federal Open Market Committee is meeting later this month, following their most recent decision to hold rates steady in January. Since then, two jobs reports and other data releases, such as reports about consumer confidence and prices, have given further insight into the economy's performance.

"Labor market conditions have cooled from their formerly overheated state and remain solid," Fed chair Jerome Powell said in the semiannual testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs in February.

Based on traders' expectations, CME FedWatch showed a 91% chance the Fed decides in its meeting on March 18 and 19 to do another interest-rate hold.

While economists have described the job market as strong recently and said the US hasn't entered a recession, Americans are worried about the economy.

"While headline job market measures remain strong, economic anxiety is on the rise among workers as uncertainty about inflation and job security abounds," Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor, told Business Insider before the new jobs report was published. "The trajectory of the labor market remains highly uncertain for the rest of 2025, which is leaving workers uneasy and the picture for the overall economy murky."

Al Green became the voice of resistance. Ten Democrats voted to censure him. The Democratic Party for the first time is more unpopular than Republicans. Republicans continue to be unpopular.

Uncertainty around a potential trade war, including retaliatory tariffs, could also affect the US economy. President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China earlier this week, although many of those were delayed until April 2 as of Thursday afternoon. The threat of tariffs could affect business planning and demand for workers.

"Steep tariff increases could cause adjustments in business decisions with knock-on effects on hiring and wages as business leaders navigate higher input costs and retaliatory measures," Lydia Boussour, senior economist at EY, said.

Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Christianity, Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue. You can freely criticize Israel, Jews, Trump, Vance, Benjamin Netanyahu, AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

Racism unfortunately is protected speech.

Antisemitism is protected speech.

Being a bigot is a choice which allows some people to "other" those who do not agree with the status quo of how America is ran. 

Trump is against DEI. The president supports banning DEI when it supports people of color, those in LGBTQ community and immigrants. Every other religion that isn't Christian, Catholic or Jewish is DEI and it has to go.

The U.S. violated the USMCA by imposing tariffs on its trading partners. Mexico and Canada have vowed to impose their series of tariffs. BRICS is courting Mexico to join the organization.

The world is losing patience with the U.S. and Israel. Many countries are moving away from the U.S. dollar.

Israelis are being banned from entry in several Global South countries.

Countries that deny entry to Israeli passport holders: Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, The United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Trump despite winning the election is still telling Americans that if he doesn't win, there will be all out war. He has already sparked global tension with threats of tariffs on our trading partners.

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

Republicans are using dog whistles when talking about Blacks, immigrants, transgender Americans, Israel, crime, protesters and gun violence.

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

2. Gun violence is the No. 1 threat to children and adults. When gun violence happen in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Detroit and Baltimore, a Republican lawmaker wants to blame gun violence on Democratic mayors instead of the Congress. Over 60 mass shootings this year alone.

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

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

Republicans want political revenge. Trump wants to jail his rivals. He may get that wish now that he has returned to power. This is not a joke. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To make this clear, it doesn't matter anymore who the fucking president is. 

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

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

Trump fired Charles Q. Brown, a four star general.

I will hold Trump accountable for his actions.

I. Am. Calling. Him. Out. 

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

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

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

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

Monthly reminders: 

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

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

The free speech president wants to punish protesters who make Zionists uncomfortable.

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

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

18. ACTIVE MILITARY
19. NATURAL DISASTERS
20. MASS SHOOTINGS DISRUPTING DAILY ROUTINE
21. RACISM
22. WAGE THEFT
23. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ON JOB POSTING BUT DECEPTION UPON HIRING
24. BEING LAID OFF DUE TO CLOSING OR STAFF REDUCTION
25. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY OR PROPRETY
26. OUTSOURCING JOBS TO OTHER STATES OR COUNTRIES
27. BEING UNDOCUMENTED IN FEAR OF I.C.E. OR U.S. AGENCIES
28. BEING PUBLICLY OUTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA DOING SHAMEFUL ACTS
29. PARTICIPATING IN UNCIVIL OR VIOLENT PROTESTS
30. PUBLICLY SUPPORTING OR PROTESTING AGAINST ISRAEL

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

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

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

We can't always assume that folks who do not work are lazy. These troupes give Republicans the opportunity to strip away the safety net to offset their endless giveaways to the elite and wealthy.

People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus, monkeypox, measles, bird flu and gun violence.

Most Americans are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

Many single parents are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic and unforseen circumstances due to Trump’s chaotic policies. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

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

Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

Trump's presidency and Republican controlled governments are incompetent.

Their leadership has killed millions of Americans. 

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

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

Kendrick Lamar’s iconic performance led to internet memes.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. 

Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

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

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

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

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

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.

Roy Ayers Passed Away!

The legendary Roy Ayers passed away from natural causes. 

Another legendary R&B star has passed away. Even former vice president Kamala Harris had to chime in and offer her sympathy to the family of Roy Ayers.

Ayers, a legendary jazz vibraphonist, keyboardist, composer and vocalist known for his spacy, funky 1976 hit “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” that has been sampled by such R&B and rap heavyweights as Mary J. Blige, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Mos Def and Ice Cube, has died. He was 84.

The Ayers family said in a Facebook post that he died Tuesday in New York City after suffering from a long illness. “He lived a beautiful 84 years and will be sorely missed,” it said.

Ayers had 12 albums land in the Billboard 200 album charts, the highest being “You Send Me” in 1978 at No. 48. His “The Best of Roy Ayers” spend 50 weeks on the Contemporary Jazz Album chart.

His music never went out of style, appearing in the 2019 “Queen & Slim: The Soundtrack.” His song “Running Away” propelled A Tribe Called Quest’s 1989 opus “Description of a Fool,” and the song was sampled by Big Daddy Kane and Common. Ayers was heard on Tyler, the Creator’s album “Cherry Bomb” and Erykah Badu’s “Mama’s Gun.”

“Well, I have more sampled hits than anybody,” he said in a 2004 interview with Wax Poetics magazine. “I might not have more samples than James Brown, but I’ve had more sampled hits. Oh, man, and there’s a few I don’t know about.”

One of Ayers’ most popular albums was “Lifeline,” which peaked at No. 9 on what has become the Top R&B/Hip-hop chart in 1977 and contained the hit “Running Away,” which peaked at No. 19 on the R&B chart and became a massive club hit.

During a visit to Johannesburg in 2017, Ayers offered some rhythmic advice for youth in the city’s Soweto area: Get serious, be inspired, rap on, keep on and “eventually you’ll get it.”

I grew up listening to the legendary Roy Ayers. “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” is one of my favorite songs, and it has scored some of the most important moments in my life. When Doug and I were dating, one of the first things Cole and I bonded over was our love for Roy Ayers.… pic.twitter.com/AD3Ro7rznK

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) March 6, 2025

“You guys, you have to pick your plateau. Get serious about everything,” said Ayers. He also named a few musicians who have inspired him: Nigerian Fela Kuti (“he was really like a genius”), Herbie Mann (“he taught me the business”) and Miles Davis (“He was the coolest. He was the grandmaster. He was out of sight”).

After debuting on record with hard bop tenor saxophonist Curtis Amy’s group in 1962, he teamed with jazz flutist Mann to record three albums for Atlantic Records — “Virgo Vibes,” “Stoned Soul Picnic” and “Daddy Bug” — and wrote and produced the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film “Coffy” starring Pam Grier. He also moved on to work with David “Fathead” Newman, the tenor mainstay of Ray Charles’ great ’60s orchestra.

In 2017, he appeared alongside such acts as Tom Petty, the Shins, Alabama Shakes, Charles Bradley and William Bell at the eclectic Arroyo Seco Festival in Los Angeles.

Ayers is survived by his wife Argerie, and their children Mtume and Ayana Ayers.
