An Illinois Man Took An Eye For An Eye: DC Shooting Kills Israeli Operatives!

Man killed two Israeli operatives in Washington, DC.

If no one is holding Israel accountable, guess who will?

What about the rest of us?

A targeted shooting of Israeli embassy employees.

Did you know Israel had its soliders fire on European diplomats who were in the West Bank?

Did you know that U.S. intelligence reveals that Israel is planning a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities?

This incident speaks volumes.

Luigi Mangione, Karmelo Anthony, Rodney Hinton and now this guy.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Washington mayor Muriel Bowser, Rep. Elanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), the regime's Benjamin Netanyahu and Isaac Herzog were notified.

Oh it's now antisemitism.

This will be exploited for days.

It will also be a precursor for an attack on Iran.

I told you.... I am not condemning anything.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Trump gave us open season.

Also, there were other shootings in the U.S. and they don't get worldwide coverage.

There were 145 mass shootings and countless single shootings. There were 461 people killed by the police. The cities in bold had multiple mass shootings.

Two staff members of the Israeli embassy were shot and killed Wednesday evening while leaving an event at a Jewish museum in the nation’s capital, and the suspect yelled, “Free, free Palestine” after he was arrested, police said.

The two victims, a man and a woman, were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum when the suspect approached a group of four people and opened fire, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said at a news conference.

The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, was observed pacing outside the museum before the shooting, walked into the museum after the shooting and was detained by event security, Smith said.

When he was taken into custody, the suspect began chanting, “Free, free Palestine,” Smith said. Smith said law enforcement did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the community.

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter said the two people killed were a young couple about to be engaged, saying the man had purchased a ring this week with the intent to propose next week in Jerusalem.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said she was at the scene with former judge Jeanine Pirro, who serves as the U.S. attorney in Washington and whose office would prosecute the case.

Man traveled from Chicago to Washington, DC to take revenge on unaccountable Israelis.

“These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW!” President Donald Trump posted on social media early Thursday. “Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA. Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!’

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was “devastated” by the scenes in Washington.

“This is a despicable act of hatred, of antisemitism, which has claimed the lives of two young employees of the Israeli embassy. Our hearts are with the loved ones of those murdered and our immediate prayers are with the injured. I send my full support to the Ambassador and all the embassy staff.”

He added: “We stand with the Jewish community in DC and across the US. America and Israel will stand united in defense of our people and our shared values. Terror and hate will not break us.”

Yoni Kalin and Katie Kalisher were inside the museum when they heard gunshots and a man came inside looking distressed, they said. Kalin said people came to his aid and brought him water, thinking he needed help, without realizing he was the suspect. When police arrived, he pulled out a red keffiyeh and repeatedly yelled, “Free Palestine,’” Kalin said.

“This event was about humanitarian aid,” Kalin said. “How can we actually help both the people in Gaza and the people in Israel? How can we bring together Muslims and Jews and Christians to work together to actually help innocent people? And then here he is just murdering two people in cold blood.”

The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington said in a statement that they are horrified by the shooting and “mourn the loss of the two individuals killed in the attack.”

You know more about 

“Our hearts are with their families and loved ones, and with all of those who are impacted by this tragic act of antisemitic violence,” the federation said.

This was not an antisemitic attack. It was an eye for an eye.

For every Palestinian child killed, there is no damn accountability. 

Luigi Mangione, Rodney Hinton and now Elias Rodriguez had a divine intervention.

They were tired of the bullshit. It was us or them.

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, Vice President JD Vance, members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, 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 and attacked any attempts by volunteers or independent surveyors. 

Israel wants the U.S. to start a war with Iran.

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 and Harris put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel to stop killing. We urged them to stop invading other countries. Biden ignored the concerns. The Democrats paid the price.

This shows a lot of "tone deafness" within the Democratic Party. 

It is not Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) or the former supporters' 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 men, 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.

A violent attack on children throwing rocks at tanks is justified in the minds of those who support Israel. 

Spitting and shoving Christians, Satanists, non Zionist Jews, Muslims and Hindus is considered a custom in Israel. How is this disgusting act justified?

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.

Iran supports the resistance. The U.S. and Israel labels it as an enabler of terrorism and war. Yet, Israel has created the conflicts by forcing regime change, killing their civilians, their scientists, their military generals and their diplomats. No one seems to call this terrorism. In fact, some U.S. lawmakers see it as justifiable offense.

Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion, a concert 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.

Israel is going to fall. One IDF solider, settler, politician and Zionist at a time.

I have no condolences or condemnation. I will not condone this action done by the suspect. But I do empathize and understand how an eye for an eye is what's gonna happen in these next four years.

Trump, former president Joe Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu, Keir Starmer and the rest of Israel's backers will see the karma. Trust me, it's a coming.

The U.S. least intelligent operatives say Israel will strike Iran soon.

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. 

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

As the world is bringing pressure on Israel, some random man murders two of their operatives.

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. If any lawmaker, entertainer, athlete or social media influncer backs the apartheid ethnostate, they will face a boycott. 

Regardless of political affiliation, if you are supporting Israel, you are not getting donations or a vote from me.

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. 

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

The call number to the White House and 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" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism. 

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

Trump And Vance Talk Tough To Cyril Ramaphosa! They Are Total P*ssies To Netanyahu!

South Africa president Ramaphosa comes to the U.S. to ease tensions. Trump kept his ego up and completely makes a fool of himself.

The president of South Africa comes to the United States to ease tensions. 

President Donald J. Trump does his usual slapstick to disrespect the leader.

His disrespect gets praise from the far right. The South African leader shakes his head and goes back home to get support to abandon American influence.

The African Union is considering abandoning the U.S. dollar and Euro. They are also planning on kicking out U.S., British and European Union companies because of the exploiting of resources. They are tired of poachers killing their wildlife.

They are tired of the West and their racist troupes.

They are tired of Israel.

They are tired of U.S. military bases in their countries.

And they are not going to aid the U.S. and Israel if they start World War III.

Israel is fuming at South Africa after the country filed a criminal complaint against apartheid ethnostate. The Israelis are working over Trump, Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Leaders Steve Scalise and Hakeem Jeffries. The Israelis are working over Senate Leaders John Thune and Chuck Schumer. 

Hell, New York Republican Mike Lawler and New Jersey Democrat Josh Gottheimer are working to stifle free speech on behalf of Israel.

Seeing white South Africans get naturalized as U.S. citizens because of fucking conspiracies shows how the blantant hypocrisy Trump and his minions are.

Elon Musk and Lara Logan are smiling. They managed to convince MAGAland that South Africa has committed a genocide on white farmers.

Ignore the Israelis who are actively committing a Holocaust right before our eyes.

Call it antisemitism all you want, but we see in real time Israel's actions are no different than Nazi Germany. 

The president used a White House meeting to forcefully confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing the country of failing to address Trump’s baseless claim of the systematic killing of white farmers.

Genocide of white people. Healthy bunch of victims.

Trump even dimmed the lights of the Oval Office to play a video of a far-left politician chanting a song that includes the lyrics “kill the farmer.” He also leafed through news articles to underscore his point, saying the country’s white farmers have faced “death, death, death, horrible death.”

Trump had already cut all U.S. assistance to South Africa and welcomed several dozen white South African farmers to the U.S. as refugees as he pressed the case that a “genocide” is underway in the country.

The U.S. president, since his return to office, has launched a series of accusations at South Africa’s Black-led government, claiming it is seizing land from white farmers, enforcing antiwhite policies and pursuing an anti-American foreign policy.

Experts in South Africa say there is no evidence of whites being targeted for their race, although farmers of all races are victims of violent home invasions in a country with a high crime rate.

“People are fleeing South Africa for their own safety,” Trump said. “Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they’re being killed.”

Ramaphosa pushed back against Trump’s accusation. The South African leader had sought to use the meeting to set the record straight and salvage his country’s relationship with the United States. The bilateral relationship is at its lowest point since South Africa enforced its apartheid system of racial segregation, which ended in 1994.

Lara Logan is a South African-American conspiracy theorist living in Texas.

“We are completely opposed to that,” Ramaphosa said of the behavior alleged by Trump in their exchange. He added, “that is not government policy” and “our government policy is completely, completely against what he was saying.”

Trump was unmoved.

“When they take the land, they kill the white farmer,” he said.

Trump appeared prepared to confront Ramaphosa at the start of the meeting while journalists were present. Videos were cued up on a large TV set to show a clip of an opposition party leader, Julius Malema, leading an old anti-apartheid song.

The song has been contentious for years in the country because of its central lyrics “kill the Boer” and “shoot the Boer” — with Boer a word that refers to a white farmer. Malema, featured in the video, is not part of the country’s governing coalition.

Another clip played showed white crosses on the side of a road, described as a memorial for white farmers who were killed. Ramaphosa seemed baffled. “I’d like to know where that is, because this I’ve never seen.”

Trump kicked off the meeting by describing the South African president as a “truly respected man in many, many circles.” He added: “And in some circles he’s considered a little controversial.”

Ramaphosa chimed in, playfully jabbing back at a U.S. president who is no stranger to controversy. “We’re all like that,” Ramaphosa said.

Trump issued an executive order in February cutting all funding to South Africa over some of its domestic and foreign policies. The order criticized the South African government on multiple fronts, saying it is pursuing antiwhite policies at home and supporting “bad actors” in the world like the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Iran.

Elon Musk has five citizenships. He holds South African, Canadian, British, American and Israeli citizenship. He lives in Texas and Florida.

Trump has falsely accused the South African government of rights violations against white Afrikaner farmers by seizing their land through a new expropriation law. No land has been seized and the South African government has pushed back, saying U.S. criticism is driven by misinformation.

The Trump administration’s references to the Afrikaner people — who are descendants of Dutch and other European settlers — have also elevated previous claims made by Trump’s South African-born adviser Elon Musk and some conservative U.S. commentators that the South African government is allowing attacks on white farmers in what amounts to a genocide.

The administration’s concerns about South African policies cut even deeper than the concerns about white farmers.

South Africa has also angered Trump over its move to bring charges at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Ramaphosa has also faced scrutiny in Washington for his past connections to MTN Group, Iran’s second-largest telecom provider. It owns nearly half of Irancell, a joint venture linked with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Ramaphosa served as board chair of MTN from 2002 to 2013.

Ramaphosa came into the meeting looking to avoid the sort of contentious engagement that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy experienced during his February Oval Office visit, when the Ukrainian leader found himself being berated by Trump and Vice President JD Vance. That disastrous meeting ended with White House officials asking Zelenskyy and his delegation to leave the White House grounds.

The South African president’s delegation included golfers Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, a gesture to the golf-obsessed U.S. president. Ramaphosa brought Trump a massive book about South Africa’s golf courses. He even told Trump that he’s been working on his golf game, seeming to angle for an invitation to the links with the president.

Luxury goods tycoon and Afrikaner Johann Rupert was also in the delegation to help ease Trump’s concerns that land was being seized from white farmers.

At one point, Ramaphosa called on Zingiswa Losi, the president of a group of South African trade unions, who told Trump it is true that South Africa is a “violent nation for a number of reasons.” But she told him it was important to understand that Black men and women in rural areas were also being targeted in heinous crimes.

“The problem in South Africa, it is not necessarily about race, but it’s about crime,” Losi said. “We are here to say how do we, both nations, work together to reset, to really talk about investment but also help … to really address the levels of crime we have in our country.”

Musk also attended Wednesday’s talks. He has been at the forefront of the criticism of his homeland, casting its affirmative action laws as racist against whites.

Musk has said on social media that his Starlink satellite internet service isn’t able to get a license to operate in South Africa because he is not Black.

South African authorities say Starlink hasn’t formally applied. It can, but it would be bound by affirmative action laws in the communications sector that require foreign companies to allow 30% of their South African subsidiaries to be owned by shareholders who are Black or from other racial groups disadvantaged under apartheid.

The South African government says its long-standing affirmative action laws are a cornerstone of its efforts to right the injustices of the white minority rule of apartheid, which denied opportunities to Blacks and other racial groups.

Following the contentious exchange in front of the cameras, Trump hosted Ramaphosa for lunch and further talks.

Ramaphosa, speaking to reporters following his White House visit, downplayed Trump’s criticism, adding he believes “there’s doubt and disbelief in (Trump’s) head” about his genocide charge. He insisted they did not dwell on Trump’s concerns about white farmers in their private conversation.

“You wanted to see drama and something really big happening,” Ramaphosa told reporters following his White House visit. “And I’m sorry that we disappointed you somewhat when it comes to that.”

LaMonica McIver: The DOJ Running A Kangaroo Court!

Maybe Trump should pardon LaMonica McIver. He pardoned and commuted the sentences of Jan. 6 rioters who attacked police.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is being criminally charged for assualt on a federal officer. It was unveiled by media personality Alina Habba.

Habba is appointed interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. 

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

So this month, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for trespassing. The U.S. Department of Justice was planning on throwing a criminal indictment on Ras Baraka for interference. They ended up dropping the charges.

As explained by former vice president Kamala Harris, President Donald J. Trump will abuse his power by arresting individuals because of political disagreements.

It is happening in real time.

Y'all voted for this.

Habba and Attorney General Pam Bondi came to the conclusion, go after Democratic lawmakers.

McIver, 38 has not taken any money from AIPAC or Israeli affiliates. McIver is being watched closely. She is a freshman lawmaker who served since 2024 after Donald Payne, Jr. passed away in office.

Trump is targeting Democrats who stand in his way.

The Democratic Party is having an identity crisis when it comes to electing members. Most of the elected members are over 65 years old and still stuck in the 20th Century with policies that are not up to par with progressives.

McIver performed an oversight visit at an ICE detention facility in Newark. 

Baraka attempted to join the congressional delegation and was arrested for trespassing, but the charges were later dropped. On May 19, 2025, Habba announced that McIver had been charged with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement in connection with the incident. 

On May 20th, McIver stated that she rejected a plea deal from the United States Department of Justice.

On May 9, 2025, Baraka, joined by three Democratic representatives from New Jersey—Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez, and LaMonica McIver—appeared at Delaney Hall for an unscheduled oversight visit. Coleman, Menendez, and McIver were allowed into the facility for an oversight visit, and video footage showed Baraka being allowed in, contradicting accusations he had barged into the facility without permission. Baraka was then asked to leave and he left voluntarily according to video footage.

Baraka left the center and gathered with protesters in a public area. He was then arrested by masked federal agents in military fatigues and taken to a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark during a chaotic scuffle.

He was released from a Department of Homeland Security field office hours later.

Gerry Connolly Passed Away!

Gerry Connolly is the latest Democratic lawmaker to die while in office.

Ineffective leadership continues to plague the Democratic Party. With former president Joe Biden having cancer, and the passings of Sylvester Turner, Raúl Grijalva, Donald Payne and now Gerry Connolly, the leadership has to figure out how to make the party winnable.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, House members, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) were notified.

David Hogg was right.

The Democratic members are still in the 20th Century thinking. 

Republicans are not ashamed of being far right, authoritarian, racist and discriminatory.

Democrats always want to pander to this. It must stop now.

No more trying to win over white working class voters and disgruntled Republicans. It is time to win back the base.

First things first, stop supporting Israel.

Second, continue fighting against President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance. 

Third, no more going to districts outside their own. It is a waste of time trying to troll Republicans who refuse to do town halls. Voters are not interested in this unless it personally affect them. Besides you need to stay focused on your district and its problems.

When more ideas come up, use them wisely and stop ignoring the base.

Gerald “Gerry” Connolly, an outspoken Democrat who sought key reforms in the federal government while bringing transformational development to his populous Virginia district, died Wednesday. He was 75.

Connolly, who most recently held a prominent position as the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, served in Congress for more than 16 years.

He died at home in the company of family members, his family said in a statement. Connolly announced in 2024 that he had esophageal cancer and said a few months later that he planned to retire from Congress. His death leaves House Republicans with a 220-212 majority.

The spirited and at times bullheaded Fairfax Democrat became known for his voluble nature and willingness to engage in spirited debates. In one hearing, he accused Republicans of engaging in a witch hunt against the IRS, asking a witness if they ever read Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.”

“I am heartbroken over the loss of my dear friend,” said Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia. “To me, he exemplified the very best of public service.” He said Connolly “met every challenge with tenacity and purpose, including his final battle with cancer, which he faced with courage, grace, and quiet dignity.”

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said Connolly was a “hardworking, humble and honorable public servant” who used his perch on the Oversight Committee “to push back against the unprecedented attacks on the federal workers in his district and across the country.”

A fixture of Virginia politics for three decades, Connolly was first elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in 1995. On the county board, he steered the transition of northern Virginia’s Tysons Corner from a traffic-heavy mall area to a downtown business hub.

In 2003, Connolly was elected board chairman, and he continued pushing for transportation investment that had been debated among officials for decades. Connolly sought billions in state and federal dollars to develop the regional rail system’s Silver Line connecting the national capital region to Tysons Corner.

Connolly’s dream was realized with the Silver Line’s opening in 2014, and eight years later, the rail line was extended an extra 11 miles (18 kilometers) to reach Dulles International Airport.

As the extension opened in 2022, Connolly said: “Doing big things is difficult — the world is filled with naysayers.”

Connolly’s local government experience launched his congressional career. He was elected in 2008 after flipping an open Republican-held seat by nearly 42,000 votes. In his victory speech, Connolly said he would use his position to ensure the federal bureaucracy is “a responsive, accountable instrument for the people we serve.”

“If we insist the government must work for all of our citizens again, we cannot fail,” Connolly said.

Connolly got his first taste of Congress while working as a staffer for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in the 1980s. Decades later, Connolly became a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

He also served as a member of the House Oversight Committee and led Democrats on subcommittees on government innovation and information technology.

Connolly cosponsored the 2010 Telework Enhancement Act, which requires federal agencies to allow a portion of their employees to telework at least one day a week. In 2014, he cosponsored another bill that reformed federal IT management and has since saved the government billions of dollars, according to the Government Accountability Office.

He also closely followed the financial burden of the slowing U.S. Postal Service, becoming a prominent voice accusing President Donald Trump and former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy of seeking to winnow the postal service to suppress mail-in ballots during the 2020 presidential election.

Connolly reached a new milestone late last year as he was chosen ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. He defeated Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the position. The victory came shortly after Connolly announced late last year that he had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and would undergo chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

As ranking member, Connolly called on inspectors general to investigate the Department of Government Efficiency. He and other Democrats also introduced a pair of resolutions demanding the Trump administration turn over documents and information about billionaire adviser Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest and the firings of federal workers.

He said in late April that after “grueling treatments,” he learned that the cancer had returned and that he decided to step down from his post on the committee and would not seek reelection.

“With no rancor and a full heart, I move into this final chapter full of pride in what we’ve accomplished together over 30 years,” he said.

George Wendt Passed Away!

George Wendt passed away from natural causes. He was Norm, the everyday man from the 1980s sitcom Cheers.

The iconic sitcom Cheers loses another famous figure.

George Wendt, an actor with an Everyman charm who played the affable, beer-loving barfly Norm on the hit 1980s TV comedy “Cheers” and later crafted a stage career that took him to Broadway in “Art,” “Hairspray” and “Elf,” has died. He was 76.

Wendt’s family said he died early Tuesday morning, peacefully in his sleep while at home, according to the publicity firm The Agency Group.

George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him,” the family said in a statement. “He will be missed forever.” The family has requested privacy during this time.

Despite a long career of roles onstage and on TV, it was as gentle and henpecked Norm Peterson on “Cheers” that he was most associated, earning six straight Emmy Award nominations for best supporting actor in a comedy series from 1984-89.

The series was centered on lovable losers in a Boston bar and starred Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Rhea Perlman, Kelsey Grammer, John Ratzenberger, Kirstie Alley and Woody Harrelson. It would spin off another megahit in “Frasier” and was nominated for an astounding 117 Emmy Awards, winning 28 of them.

Wendt, who spent six years in Chicago’s renowned Second City improv troupe before sitting on a barstool at the place where everybody knows your name, didn’t have high hopes when he auditioned for “Cheers.”

“My agent said, ‘It’s a small role, honey. It’s one line. Actually, it’s one word.’ The word was ‘beer.’ I was having a hard time believing I was right for the role of ‘the guy who looked like he wanted a beer.’ So I went in, and they said, ‘It’s too small a role. Why don’t you read this other one?’ And it was a guy who never left the bar,” Wendt told GQ in an oral history of “Cheers.”

‘Cheers’ and a barstool

“Cheers” premiered on Sept. 30, 1982, and spent the first season with low ratings. NBC president Brandon Tartikoff championed the show, and it was nominated for an Emmy for best comedy series in its first season. Some 80 million people would tune in to watch its series finale 11 years later.

Wendt became a fan favorite in and outside the bar — his entrances were cheered with a warm “Norm!” — and his wisecracks always landed. “How’s a beer sound, Norm?” he would be asked by the bartender. “I dunno. I usually finish them before they get a word in,” he’d respond.

While the beer the cast drank on set was nonalcoholic, Wendt and other “Cheers” cast members have admitted they were tipsy on May 20, 1993, when they watched the show’s final episode then appeared together on “The Tonight Show” in a live broadcast from the Bull and Finch Pub in Boston, the bar that inspired the series.

″We had been drinking heavily for two hours but nobody thought to feed us,” Wendt told the Beaver County Times of Pennsylvania in 2009. “We were nowhere near as cute as we thought we were.”

Perlman, who regularly served Wendt on “Cheers,” in a statement called him “the sweetest, kindest man I ever met. It was impossible not to like him.

“As Carla, I was often standing next to him, as Norm always took the same seat at the end of the bar, which made it easy to grab him and beat the crap out of him at least once a week. I loved doing it and he loved pretending it didn’t hurt. What a guy! I’ll miss him more than words can say.”

After “Cheers,” Wendt starred in his own short-lived sitcom “The George Wendt Show” — “too bad he had to step out of Norm and down so far from that corner stool for his debut stanza,” sniffed Variety — and had guest spots on TV shows like “The Ghost Whisperer,” “Harry’s Law” and “Portlandia.” He was part of a brotherhood of Chicago Everymen who gathered over sausage and beers and adored “Da Bears” on “Saturday Night Live.” In 2023, he competed on “The Masked Singer.”

Second career on stage

But he found steady work onstage: Wendt slipped on Edna Turnblad’s housecoat in Broadway’s “Hairspray” beginning in 2007, and was in the Tony Award-winning play “Art” in New York and London.

He starred in the national tour of “12 Angry Men” and appeared in a production of David Mamet’s “Lakeboat.” He also starred in regional productions of “Death of a Salesman,” “The Odd Couple,” “Never Too Late” and “Funnyman.”

“A, it’s by far the most fun, but B, I seem to have been kicked out of television,” Wendt told the Kansas City Star in 2011. “I overstayed my welcome. But theater suits me.”

Wendt had an affinity for playing Santa Claus, donning the famous red outfit in the stage musical “Elf” on Broadway in 2017, the TV movie “Santa Baby” with Jenny McCarthy in 2006 and in the doggie Disney video “Santa Buddies” in 2009. He also played Father Christmas for TV specials by Larry the Cable Guy and Stephen Colbert.

“I think it just proves that if you stay fat enough and get old enough, the offers start rolling in,” the actor joked to the AP in his Broadway dressing room.

Born in Chicago, Wendt attended Campion High School, a Catholic boarding school in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and then Notre Dame, where he rarely went to class and was kicked out. He transferred to Rockhurst University in Kansas City and graduated, after majoring in economics.

He found a home at Second City in both the touring company and the mainstage.

“I think comedy is my long suit, for sure. My approach to comedy is usually not full-bore clownish,” he told the AP. “If you’re trying to showboat or step outside, it doesn’t always work. There are certain performers who almost specialize in doing that, and they do it really well. But that’s not my approach.”

Cheers for beer

He had a lifelong association with beer. He had his first taste as an 8-year-old and got drunk at 16, at the World’s Fair in New York.

His beer knowledge was poured into the book ″Drinking With George: A Barstool Professional’s Guide to Beer,” co-written with Jonathan Grotenstein. One line: “Will Rogers once said he never met a man he didn’t like. I feel the same about beer.”

Part autobiography, part beer drinker’s guide, the book had Wendt’s conversational tone and lists, such as “Five Good Bar Bets,” ″77 Toasts from Around the World” and ”(More Than) 100 Ways to Say That You’re Drunk,” which alphabetically lists 126 synonyms from “annihilated” through “zozzled.”

He is survived by his wife, Second City alum Bernadette Birkett, who voiced Norm’s never-seen not-so better half, Vera, on “Cheers”; his children, Hilary, Joe and Daniel; and his stepchildren, Joshua and Andrew.

“From his early days with The Second City to his iconic role as Norm on ‘Cheers,’ George Wendt’s work showcased how comedy can create indelible characters that feel like family. Over the course of 11 seasons, he brought warmth and humor to one of television’s most beloved roles,” National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson said in a statement.

Biden Ain't Afraid!

Biden is planning options.

As I stated in the beginning, I hoped President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israel, Republicans, former president Joe Biden and Zionism fails.

Biden, 82 announced in July 2024 that he was no longer running for president.

It left less than 100 days for former vice president Kamala Harris to struggle to win over voters. She stuck with Biden on the economy, Israel and Ukraine. Harris rejected the pleas to end the genocide being conducted by Israel. 

Harris ignored the base.

It cost Biden his reelection and Harris her presidential bid. The culture wars, Israel, the economy and voter turnout were factors. The biggest factors were race and gender.

Nonetheless, the far right won. 

Now they are on a spree of extremism.

Y'all voted for this.

Did the former president cover up his health?

I mean having aggressive prostate cancer should have been disclosed in 2024.

Did the president hide his diagnosis for cancer?

Anyway, I can't imagine how it's hard for some folks to have empathy for Biden.

The left who avoided voting for him and Harris have no sympathy because they believe it's karma for his willingness to back Israel despite the calls to end the aid.

The right want to prosecute officials and Dr. Jill Biden for covering up his health.

Leo Terrell, a notorious grifter who is now appointed a Justice Department member works on the combat antisemitism task force. He demands the former first lady to be investigation.

And of course, Trump who offered sympathy on Sunday. Now he is back on the bullshit. So our soon to be 79 year old president who fails to discloses his health is complaining about Biden yet again.

He believes the Democrats hid Biden declining health. Vance who offered sympathy on Sunday resumed his attacks on the former president too.

So spare me the concerns. If Trump has any health issues or dies in office (his intentions to are not to leave office), I will not offer sympathy.

If Vance has issues with his health or dies in office, same thing.

I don't wish death on anyone but trust me, I am not going to shed tears for either Biden, Trump or Vance if they die.

Scott Adams Has Stage IV Prostate Cancer!

Controversial media personality Scott Adams tells the public to not go hard on former president Joe Biden. Adams reveals he has terminal prostate cancer. The 46th President of the United States has Stage III (or likely IV) prostate cancer.

Media personality and Dilbert creator put aside his MAGAland insults to wish former president Joe Biden well as he confirms he has the same prostate cancer the president has.

Scott Adams, who took his fame as the creator of the long-running comic strip “Dilbert” and parlayed that into a second chapter as a controversial political commentator, has revealed that he has prostate cancer and expects to not live past the summer.

While discussing former President Joe Biden’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis during an episode of his online show “Real Coffee with Scott Adams” Monday morning, the cartoonist revealed that he too also has prostate cancer and, like Biden, it had spread to his bones.

“Well, I’ve decided that today is the day that I wanted to take the opportunity, since a lot of you are here, to make an announcement of my own. Some of you have already guessed, so this won’t surprise you at all, but I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has, so I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones, but I’ve had it longer than he’s had it; well, longer than he’s admitted having it, so my life expectancy is maybe the summer. I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.”

Adams, 67, did not say when he was diagnosed with the disease, but said he had undergone different treatments last year, including ivermectin, that were unsuccessful. Today, Adams said he has been using a walker to get around for the last few months and that with the exception of his morning show, he is in too much pain to do much else.

“I can tell you that I don’t have good days,” he said. “So if you’re wondering ‘Hey, Scott. Do you have any good days?’ Nope. Nope, every day is a nightmare and evening is even worse.”

Adams said one reason he had put off going public with his diagnosis was that he would not be looked at as “the cancer guy” for the remaining time he has.

“Once you go public, you’re just the dying cancer guy and I didn’t want you to have to think about it and I didn’t want to have to think about it,” he said.

However, with news of Biden’s diagnosis, coupled with the disgust at some of the cruel comments sent his way in the aftermath, Adams thought it would be good to tell his story as well.

“When Joe Biden went public with his situation, I thought to myself ‘You know what? I’m going to slide under his story and he’s going to take away a lot of the attention,'” he said. “I thought it would be just a little easier for me to tag onto that.”

Former president Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden share a post.

Despite the pain, Adams said he has had time to accept his circumstance, saying it “sort of is what it is.”

“I have to say everybody has to die, as far as I know, and it’s kind of civilized that you know about how long you have so you can put your affairs together and make sure you’ve said your goodbyes and done all the things you need to do,” he said. “So, if you had to pick a way to die, this one is really painful, like really, really painful, but it’s also kind of good that gives you enough time while your brain is still working to wrap things up.”

“Dilbert,” which captured the mundanity of white-collar office culture, was carried by hundreds of newspapers for over 30 years, making Adams a household name and one of the most successful cartoonists in America. However, over recent years, Adams has used his public profile to speak on political issues, gaining both fans and critics alike for his early support of President Donald Trump to skepticism against COVID-19 protocols.

In 2023, Adams received widespread criticism for advising white people to “get the hell away from black people,” based on a Rasmussen poll where 26% of Black people disagreed that is was “okay to be white.” While Adams said his comments were taken out of context and that he wasn’t racist, the backlash caused many newspapers to drop “Dilbert” from circulation. Adams said losing his “Dilbert” syndication deal cost him nearly 80% of his income.

In an interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation, Adams said he had intentionally caused the scandal in order to have a “productive argument” and was not sorry for what he had said.

However, Adams still publishes the cartoon, only now through his website.

“If global cancellation is my price for free speech, it was worth it,” Adams said. “I’m probably the only white man in America who has free speech today because I can say whatever the hell I want and I can’t get further canceled.”

Adams said that outside of his online show, he spends most of the day sleeping.

“So this is the only thing I do and I’ll keep doing it for as long as I can tolerate it,” he said.

Adams has been married twice and has a stepdaughter.

Crime Pays!

Trump gives this terrorist compensation.

When the far right justify the police killings of George Floyd, Tamir Rice, Tyre Nichols, Michael Brown, Sonya Massey and Daunte Wright, keep saying Michael Byrd.

Michael Byrd was a good cop. He saved the lives of 535 lawmakers, a residential commissioner and five non voting delegates.

Insurrectionist's family gets a settlement from the U.S.

President Donald J. Trump not only pardon and commuted the sentences of those terrorists but decided to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt.

The Trump administration is set to pay out nearly $5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the family of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter fatally shot during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News on Monday.

The settlement will resolve a $30 million suit brought by Babbitt's estate and the conservative group Judicial Watch alleging the Capitol Police officer who shot her as she attempted to breach a broken window of the House speaker's lobby was negligent in his duties.

Babbitt was fatally shot during the attack on the United States Capitol. She was part of a crowd of supporters of then outgoing  president Trump who stormed the United States Capitol building seeking to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.

Despite multiple warnings not to proceed, Babbitt attempted to climb through a shattered window beside a barricaded door into the Speaker's Lobby and was thwarted when she was shot in the shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.

After a USCP emergency response team administered aid, Babbitt was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she died. The USCP deemed the shooting was "lawful and within Department policy" and "potentially saved Members (of Congress) and staff from serious injury and possible death". 

Babbitt has been considered a martyr by Trump supporters, and by Trump himself.

When the far right claims that George Floyd died of a drug overdose.

We should say Ashli Babbitt died of falling back from a broken window.

In 2016, she faced criminal charges of reckless endangerment in Maryland after she allegedly repeatedly smashed her SUV into a vehicle being driven by a former girlfriend of Aaron Babbitt. Citing ongoing harassment, the victim obtained multiple judicial orders forbidding Ashli any contact with her.

According to her brother, Babbitt became frustrated with such issues as the number of homeless people in San Diego and the difficulties of running a small business. As she struggled professionally, she came to embrace the radical right. On July 1, 2019, a judge issued a $71,000 judgment against her pool business for failing to repay a loan; around the same time, she supported Donald Trump and started following and promoting conspiracy theories.nIn November 2019, Babbitt tweeted about Pizzagate, a conspiracy theory that senior Democrats were operating a child sex-trafficking ring. By February 2020, Babbitt publicly supported QAnon, a broader far-right conspiracy theory that expanded Pizzagate's claims by adding the concept of a worldwide cabal of Satan-worshipping child abusers whom Trump is secretly fighting.

One customer recalled having stopped doing business with Babbitt's company in 2020, after Babbitt unexpectedly delivered a political rant over the telephone.

Babbitt was highly active on social media through her now defuncted X handle @CommonAshSense. She seldom posted original content: most of her posts were retweets, frequently of messages from conservative and right-wing figures like Michael Flynn and Jack Posobiec, and conservative news sites like Right Side Broadcasting.

According to Marc-André Argentino, a researcher studying QAnon and other extremist groups, Babbitt was not "a leader or major influencer within the QAnon movement", and was not involved in selling QAnon-themed merchandise. She had nonetheless tweeted regularly about the conspiracy theory since February 2020. Babbitt posted about 50 times a day on Twitter; on Election Day, she posted 77 times.

After the election, Babbitt rejected the results and began supporting the Stop the Steal movement. On January 1, 2021, Babbitt announced plans to travel to DC for January 6.

A central belief among QAnon believers is that Trump was planning a massive sting operation on the "cabal", with mass arrests of thousands of cabal members to take place on a day known as "The Storm". On January 5, 2021, the day before the assault on the Capitol, Babbitt tweeted:

Nothing will stop us … they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours … dark to light!

On January 6, prior to her arrival at the Capitol, Babbitt retweeted messages by Trump lawyer and QAnon promoter L. Lin Wood demanding that Vice President Mike Pence, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts resign and that charges be brought against Pence and Rosenstein.

Babbitt's mother, Micki Witthoeft, became politically active following her daughter's death. In July 2021, she appeared at a Donald Trump rally where she was introduced by Paul Gosar and received a standing ovation from the crowd. During the rally, Trump expressed condolences to Witthoeft and acknowledged that Babbitt had died trying to salvage his presidency. Witthoeft later said in an interview that she was writing letters of support to January 6 arrestees and commented that her daughter had "made the ultimate sacrifice to bring attention to a stolen election. Half the country loves her and half the country hates her. It's weird to have your child belong to the world." Babbitt's husband told reporters that he does not want violence done in his wife's name, after being asked about comments made by Michael Braynard, the organizer of the Justice for J6 rally, which was dedicated in part to Babbitt.

RiRi Rocky 3!

Big family.

I must have missed this.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are expecting No. 3.

The entertainer revealed her bump at the Met Gala in early May.

 The power couple is expecting their third child, the rapper A$AP Rocky confirmed.

"It feels amazing, you know," A$AP Rocky, gala co-chair, told reporters who congratulated him Monday after outlets reported the couple was expecting their third child. "It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us 'cause we definitely happy, you know."

Rocky escaped a 10 year bid in the iron college after he was accused of aggravated assault. Rihanna was likely pregnant when she appeared at his court hearings.

TMZ reported earlier Monday that Rihanna and the rapper were expecting their third child.

A representative for Rihanna didn't immediately return The Associated Press' request for comment.

Photos taken of the singer on Monday walking in New York showed her with what appeared to be a baby bump.

"Honestly, it's a blessing nonetheless," Rocky told The AP. "Because you know how like some people in other situations at times can be envious of other people. But we've been seeing love for the most part. And we real receptive to that and appreciate that, you know what I mean? That's love. Love is love."

This year, A$AP Rocky walked the blue carpet alone before Rihanna's arrival. She was among the last people to walk the carpet on Monday. The clothing and makeup entrepreneur and singer didn't attend the 2024 Met Gala, but in 2023, she and her longtime partner were also among the last to arrive.  

The couple announced their last pregnancy in a similarly starry way: At the 2023 Super Bowl, Rihanna emerged on stage for her halftime performance with a baby bump on full display. Their son Riot Rose was born later that year. The couple debuted the newest addition to their family in a rare photoshoot in September of that year. It also featured their first child, RZA, who was born in May 2022. 

Rocky is one of the 2025 Met Gala co-chairs of the menswear-theme event tied to the museum's "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." But his attendance at this year's Met Gala wasn't always a sure bet. That announcement came a couple of months before the opening of his trial on firearms charges in Los Angeles. Rocky was ultimately found not guilty in mid-February. Jurors had deliberated for just about three hours before reaching the verdict. 

At his trial, he showed his eye for fashion. He sported tailored suits and luxury labels throughout the proceedings. Yves Saint Laurent even put out press releases directing attention to his high-fashion court attire. He was clad in a pinstripe Saint Laurent suit for the verdict.

Upon the reading of the verdict, Rocky ran toward the back of the room to hug Rihanna, who appeared inside the court on multiple occasions throughout the trial. Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers, had faced up to 24 years in prison if he had been convicted of all charges.

He's collaborated with several designers and brands on shoes, sunglasses and clothing collections. In December, he was honored with the Cultural Innovator Award at the British Fashion Council's Fashion Awards.
