MAGAland Getting Tired Of It Too!

Instead of serving his constituents in Louisiana, Mike Johnson took a pilgrimage to the apartheid ethnostate of Israel for a state sponsored speaking engagement.

World leaders are uniting together to force an ouster of the United States and its dominance on the economy and international policies.

Israel is trying to seize more land and occupy more of Syria since Bashir Al-Assad was ousted. Israel and former president Joe Biden were involved in a regime change which destabilized the country. 

Now Israel and President Donald J. Trump have pushed for more illegal seizure of land. 

More chaos.

The continued support for Israel has gotten Republicans in a pickle.

Americans Are Tired Of The Status Quo.

The Resistance Must Stop Israel!✊️🇵🇸

Israel 🇮🇱 Will Be Destroyed.

This 🇮🇱 And Zionism Will Be Regarded As A Symbol Of Evil In The 21st Century.

Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, father U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and her mother Janet, accompanied House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and several House members to the Western Wall.

“It is such a moving time for us to be here, to be here at the Wailing Wall. We’ve offered our prayers, we’ve put our notes into the wall, as is traditional and we’re so moved by the hospitality of the people and the great love of Israel,” Johnson said in a video posted to Instagram by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation.
Shit getting old.

“Our prayer is that America will always stand with Israel and that we will — we pray for the preservation and the peace of Jerusalem. That’s what Scripture tells us to do. It’s a matter of faith for us and a commitment that we have,” he added.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar shared a photo on social platform X of Johnson and other House Republicans including Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) meeting in Jerusalem.

“We discussed the alarming global wave of antisemitism, including efforts by countries like Ireland to delegitimize Israel. I also described the horrific attacks against the Druze in Syria, the same kind of barbarism perpetrated by Hamas,” Sa’ar wrote.

Many of these lawmakers heading to Israel now became a toxic brew.

Democrats are dealing with this. Their job approval is very toxic.

Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Cory Booker (D-NJ); Reps. Brad Sherman (D-CA), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Greg Landsman (D-OH) and several Democrats are at risk of primary challenges or full abandonment due to their support of Israel.

Israel is the most hated country in the world. The Russian Federation and the United States are the second and third most hated, respectively.

Israel has killed over 3,000 people a day in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

Overall, Israel has killed over 307,000 civilians in Palestine, 30,000 in Lebanon, 2,000 in Iran and 45,000 in Syria. 

It has killed 124 Americans and not one damn president or member of Congress have called for accountability.

The U.S. always leaves the criminal investigations to the Israeli regime.

Israel has attacked people seeking humanitarian aid. Since they banned UNRWA, the regime backed by the U.S. has a phony humanitarian organization doing supposedly aid distribution. This organization has committed crimes against humanity under the guise of issuing aid.

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

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, former president Joe Biden, former vice president Kamala Harris, most members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

They are the cause of global instability in the world.

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 junk food media'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.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her mother in Israel instead of the damn state of Arkansas.

They have used American weapons to kill children, women, men, their own settlers, journalists, 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.

Most of these "hostages" were IDF soliders. 

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.

America First.

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

When the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian president Vladimir Putin, the United States praised the decision. When it came to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the United States rushed to sanctions and threaten imprisonment for the workers at the ICC.

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.

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.

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

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. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. 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.

DJ Howie Tee "The Hitman" Passed Away!

The deejay played that song. Hitman Howie Tee passed away.

Thank you to the greats of Golden Age Hip-Hop. 

The current generation knows nothing about you and it is a damn shame. As Eminem puts it, I cannot stand mumble rap.

Mind you, rappers are unique in how they promote their music and production.

It is how the industry survive.

DJ Howie Tee has passed away.

The producer, born Howard Thompson in England to Jamaican parents and raised in New York, died on Saturday after ailing for sometime, according to US media reports.

Thompson helped launched the career of Special Ed, producing all of the then rising rapper’s 1989 debut album, Youngest in Charge, which featured the iconic hit single, I Got it Made.

He’s also known for his collaborations with his first cousin Chubb Rock as well as UTFO and The Real Roxanne.

In 1991, he mixed and co-produced the Color Me Badd mega-hit, I Wanna Sex You Up, and in 1993 produced one of dancehall star Patra’s biggest songs, Romantic Call.

Legendary rap producer DJ Premier is among those who have paid tribute to Thompson on social media.

“His endless history from Full Force, The Real Roxanne, U.T.F.O., Chubb Rock, Sepcial Ed, Bell Biv Devoe, Color Me Badd, CDIII, Whistle and so many timeless hits he’ll never be forgotten for blessing us with soul in our Hip Hop Culture music in general and then some. I Love You Howie! May the universe welcome you with open arms King,” wrote DJ Premier.

Meanwhile, producer Salaam Remi wrote in tribute to Thompson: “One of those Ones that made you bob ya head and dance from early days well into the 90s. Nicest Dude who took time to look out for many including myself. At a lost for words. Love and Light to you in the Eternal Sound System.”

Loni Anderson Passed Away!

Loni Anderson, a sex symbol of the 1970s and 1980s passed away. She was best known for her role on WKRP in Cincinnati.

Those who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s remember the sitcom WKRP In Cincinnati. It was a fictional rock station with a zanny cast of characters.

The ensemble cast consists of Gary Sandy (as Andy Travis), Howard Hesseman (Dr. Johnny Fever), Gordon Jump (Arthur Carlson), Loni Anderson (Jennifer Marlowe), Tim Reid (Venus Flytrap), Jan Smithers (Bailey Quarters), Richard Sanders (Les Nessman) and Frank Bonner (Herb Tarlek).

Loni Anderson was a sex symbol. She was the attractive blonde Jennifer Marlow.

She had passed away at the age of 79.

Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a “prolonged” illness, said her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan.

The cast of WKRP in Cincinnati.

“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother,” Anderson’s family said in a statement.

“WKRP in Cincinnati” aired from 1978 to 1982 and was set in a flagging Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music.

As the station’s receptionist, the blonde and high-heeled Jennifer used her sex appeal to deflect unwanted business calls for her boss, Mr. Carlson. Her efficiency often kept the station running in the face of others’ incompetence.

The role earned Anderson two Emmy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations.

Anderson starred on the big screen alongside Burt Reynolds in the 1983 comedy “Stroker Ace” and the two later married and became tabloid fixtures before their messy breakup in 1994.

Their son, Quinton Reynolds, was “the best decision that we ever made in our entire relationship,” she said during the unveiling of a bronze bust at Reynolds’ Hollywood grave site in 2021.

“I think back to the beginning of our relationship, it was so, oh, gosh, tabloidy. We were just a spectacle all the time. And it was hard to have a relationship in that atmosphere. And somehow, we did it through many ups and downs," Anderson told The Associated Press.

Loni Anderson’s marriage to Burt Reynolds was a tabloid fixture. Their messy divorce also became news.

Anderson detailed their tumultuous marriage in the 1995 autobiography, “My Life in High Heels,” which she said was about “the growth of a woman, a woman who survives."

“I think if you’re going to write about yourself, you have to do it warts and all,” Anderson told the AP while promoting the book. “You may not even tell the nicest things about yourself, because you’re telling the truth.”

She married four times, most recently to Bob Flick in 2008.

Anderson was born Aug. 5, 1945, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Her father was an environmental chemist, and her mother was a model.

Her first role as an actress was a small part in the 1966 film “Nevada Smith,” starring Steve McQueen. Most of her career was spent on the small screen with early guest parts in the 1970s on “S.W.A.T.” and “Police Woman.” After “WKRP,” Anderson starred in the short-lived comedy series “Easy Street” and appeared in made-for-TV movies including “A Letter to Three Wives” and “White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd.”

Anderson married Bob Flick in 2012. 

In 2023 she co-starred in Lifetime’s “Ladies Of The 80s: A Divas Christmas” with Linda Gray, Donna Mills, Morgan Fairchild and Nicollette Sheridan.

“I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of the wonderful Loni Anderson!” Fairchild wrote on X. “The sweetest, most gracious lady! I’m just devastated to hear this."

Anderson is survived by Flick, her daughter Deidra and son-in law Charlie Hoffman, son Quinton Anderson Reynolds, grandchildren McKenzie and Megan Hoffman, stepson Adam Flick and wife Helene, and step-grandchildren Felix and Maximilian.

A private family service is planned at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Kagan said.

Who The F*** Is Syndey Sweeny?

Good genes or good jeans?

I had never heard of this person but she is making noise in the junk food media for dog whistling white supremacy. MAGAland is coming to her defense. The left is about to have a "cancel party."

The actress was wearing American Eagle jeans and said her genes were unique.

Code word: white genes are superior.

Sydney Sweeny.

The Emmy-nominated star, who rose to fame on the HBO series "Euphoria," appeared soaking in a bathtub in a viral Dr. Squatch commercial in October, inspiring the new product release.

"You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it," Sweeney wrote in the caption of a joint Instagram post with the company announcing the product.

"Sydney's Bathwater Bliss" will be available on the Dr. Squatch website for a limited time starting at 12 p.m. on June 6, selling at $8 a bar.
The product's description says it is a "perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney’s bathtub." Made with sand, sea salt and shea butter, Sweeney's bathwater is listed as the "narrative element" on the ingredient list, which calls it "one of nature's fines aphrodisiacs."

The soap’s “morning wood” scent blends pine, Douglas fir and earthy moss with a “touch” of actress’s bathwater.

“Why? Because y’all wouldn’t stop asking,” the company stated in an Instagram post on Thursday announcing a giveaway of the product.

The company also shared some "wild fan mail" they received from fans in on social media Friday, including requests for Sweeney's bathwater to water bonsai trees or use as eye drops.

“When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,” the 27-year-old actor said in a release, NBC Washington reported.

The product drew a mixed reaction from fans in her Instagram comments, with many criticizing the star's soap and calling it "disgusting," and others expressing their disbelief.

The actress stood by her new soap in the release, calling it "weird in the best way" and an "unforgettable" product.

"This bar is bizarre, unexpected, and meant to get guys thinking more deeply about what they’re putting on their bodies," John Ludeke, senior vice president of global marketing for Dr. Squatch, said in the release.

Open Bar In The USDC Attorney's Office!

She going be lit when she comes to work.

The U.S. Senate confirmed controversial media personality Jeanine Pirro as the U.S. District Attorney for Washington, DC. She is the first Lebanese American woman and likely one of the oldest U.S. Attorneys in standing.

She is 74 years old. But you wouldn't notice it by the monstrous plastic surgery and breast enlargement. You will expect a lot of drunken behavior and sexual harassment with Pirro in the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The Senate confirmed Pirro on Saturday evening in a strict party-line 50-45 vote.

Two Democratic and three Republican senators did not vote.

President Donald J. Trump appointed Pirro to the position in an interim capacity in May.

Pirro was a co-host of The Five on Fox News until her appointment. Previously, she hosted the weekend show Justine with Judge Jeanine from 2011 to 2022. A former Westchester County judge and district attorney, Pirro was an ardent supporter of Trump’s at Fox, where she repeated baseless and debunked claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Her show was canceled after she became a central figure in Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against Fox News.

I won't be surprised that a whistleblower will come forth with allegations of financial abuse, sexual harassment, lackluster accomplishments and partisan witchhunts.

Ooh, A Shiny Coin: Trump Fires BLS Commissioner!

Trump can't handle the truth. Dr. Erika McEntarfer was fired because the president saw reality.

Y'all voted for this.

Y'all gonna feel this.

A bad jobs report drives President Donald J. Trump to fire his chief statistician.

Again, he just proves to the country that his policies are chaotic. Millions of Americans are out of work thanks to the policies he enacted through Republicans and Elon Musk.

The Department of Government Efficiency had a major impact on how many agencies are ran.

I am still waiting on a call from the IRS to confirm that the payment made to the agency was accepted. This was over two weeks ago.

Our taxpayer money continues to fund Israel's genocide and their functioning as an apartheid ethnostate.

The Jobs and Tax Cuts Act passed in 2017 has made the wealth gap drop. It also made the poor and working class struggle more. Now the Big Beautiful Bill Act will enrich the 2017 law with more tax cuts and endless giveaways to billionaires, Israel and corporations.

Capitalism will soon be associated with white supremacy.

Trump on Friday fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed to a near-halt.

In a Truth Social post that also directed even more fire at Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of being a political appointee who was manipulating jobs data.

“I was just informed that our Country’s ‘Jobs Numbers’ are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s [Harris’] chances of Victory,” Trump wrote.

“I was just informed that our Country’s ‘Jobs Numbers’ are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s [Harris’] chances of Victory,” Trump wrote.

“We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified,” he added.

A spokesperson for the bureau told CNBC, “BLS can confirm Commissioner Erika McEntarfer was terminated today. Deputy Commissioner William Wiatrowski will serve as Acting Commissioner for BLS.”

The BLS operates under the Department of Labor, whose commissioner, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, is a Trump appointee.

The stunning move came the same day that the BLS reported a gain of just 73,000 nonfarm jobs in July, below market expectations. In addition, the bureau revised the two previous months down sharply, cutting a combined 258,000 from the prior counts, putting the three-month growth rate at a paltry 35,000. It was the biggest two-month downward revision since April 2020, the early days of the Covid crisis.

Trump and congressional Republicans have repeatedly criticized the BLS over the years for its data collection. In particular, the large revisions have been a target. Trump noted that the BLS last year also announced major revisions, taking down the 12-month payrolls gain preceding March 2024 by 818,000.

Cognitive decline in full effect.

In his spending plan this year, Trump proposed an 8% reduction in staff at the bureau, raising questions over the integrity of its counts on employment, consumer prices and multiple other economic metrics. The bureau has had to impute a growing amount of estimated data into a number of its reports.

“Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes,” the president wrote. “McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative.”

Prior to Friday’s report, Trump repeatedly has championed the strength of the labor market. After the June numbers had been released initially, the White House put out a statement calling it a “June Boom.”

The weak jobs report Friday preceded a sharp drop in markets, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average off more than 500 points and the tech-focused Nasdaq off more than 2%. Treasury yields also slumped.

“I can’t believe what I just saw,” said Peter Mallouk, president and chief investment officer of Creative Planning. Trump’s social media post seemed like a parody or satire at first, Mallouk said.

“This is not healthy,” he added. “We can’t have a set of numbers come out and fire somebody that served under numerous administrations in various roles because you don’t like the numbers.”

William Beach, a 2017 Trump appointee and McEntarfer’s immediate predecessor at BLS, also sharply criticized her firing.

“The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau,” Beach posted on X.

“This escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence and integrity of the federal statistical system,” Beach added in a statement. “The President seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news.”

Along with his tirade against McEntarfer and the BLS, Trump for at least the third time Friday tore into the Fed’s Powell, who has advocated that the central bank not lower interest rates until it has a better idea of how the president’s tariffs will impact inflation.

“The Economy is BOOMING under ‘TRUMP’ despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting ‘Kamala’ elected – How did that work out?” Trump wrote. “Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell should also be put ‘out to pasture.’”

The Federal Open Market Committee, the central bank’s monetary policy arm, on Wednesday voted to keep its benchmark interest rate steady, where it has been since December. However, following the weak jobs report, futures markets priced in a strong possibility the Fed will cut in September.

I guarantee you that Trump and his administration will try to inflate job numbers come next month. You cannot manipulate reality. The impacts of bad governance.

Trump is clearly showing signs cognitive mental decline.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting Shuts Down!

Trump’s chaos puts more people out of work.

Y'all voted for this.

Did you know that U.S. House and Senate members have now increased security?

The chaotic policies of President Donald J. Trump has put targets not only on him, but Vice President JD Vance, the members of Congress and polarizing media figures.

Trump has a job approval of 36%. 

Vance has a job approval of 42%.

Congress has a job approval of 21%.

Republicans are viewed favorably at 35%.

Democrats are viewed favorably at 34%.

The country is on the wrong track at 65%.

The effects of Republican incompetence and President Donald J. Trump.

The attack on free speech.

They are concerned with "antisemitism" over gun violence.

They are concerned with "media bias" than misinformation and disinformation being spread through social media.

They are concerned with "radicalism" with religions that are not Christian or Jewish.

They are concerned with white people being attacked by Black people. They clearly ignore the attacks on immigrants, those in the LGBTQ community, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Black Americans, indigenous people and disabled Americans.

As explained, Republicans cannot govern without grievances. 

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a cornerstone of American culture for three generations, announced Friday it would take steps toward its own closure after being defunded by Congress — marking the end of a nearly six-decade era in which it fueled the production of renowned educational programming, cultural content and even emergency alerts.

The demise of the corporation, known as CPB, is a direct result of President Donald Trump’s targeting of public media, which he has repeatedly said is spreading political and cultural views antithetical to those the United States should be espousing. The closure is expected to have a profound impact on the journalistic and cultural landscape — in particular, public radio and TV stations in small communities across the United States.

CPB helps fund both PBS and NPR, but most of its funding is distributed to more than 1,500 local public radio and television stations around the country.

The impact of losing CPB will affect millions.

The corporation also has deep ties to much of the nation’s most familiar programming, from NPR’s “All Things Considered” to, historically, “Sesame Street,” “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and the documentaries of Ken Burns.

The corporation said its end, 58 years after being signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, would come in an “orderly wind-down.” In a statement, it said the decision came after the passage through Congress of a package that clawed back its funding for the next two budget years — about $1.1 billion. Then, the Senate Appropriations Committee reinforced that policy change Thursday by excluding funding for the corporation for the first time in more than 50 years as part of a broader spending bill.

“Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said Patricia Harrison, the corporation’s president and CEO.

A last-gasp attempt at funding fails

Democratic members of the Senate Appropriations Committee made a last-ditch effort this week to save the CBP’s funding.

As part of Thursday’s committee deliberations, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., authored but then withdrew an amendment to restore CPB funding for the coming budget year. She said she still believed there was a path forward “to fix this before there are devastating consequences for public radio and television stations across the country.”

“It’s hard to believe we’ve ended up in the situation we’re in,” she said. “And I’m going to continue to work with my colleagues to fix it.”

But Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) sounded a less optimistic tone.

“I understand your concerns, but we all know we litigated this two weeks ago,” Capito said. “Adopting this amendment would have been contrary to what we have already voted on.”

CPB said it informed employees Friday that most staff positions will end with the fiscal year on Sept. 30. It said a small transition team will stay in place until January to finish any remaining work — including, it said, “ensuring continuity for music rights and royalties that remain essential to the public media system.”

“Public media has been one of the most trusted institutions in American life, providing educational opportunity, emergency alerts, civil discourse, and cultural connection to every corner of the country,” Harrison said. “We are deeply grateful to our partners across the system for their resilience, leadership, and unwavering dedication to serving the American people.”

The impact will be widespread

NPR stations use millions of dollars in federal money to pay music licensing fees. Now, many will have to renegotiate these deals. That could impact, in particular, outlets that build their programming around music discovery. NPR President and CEO Katherine Maher estimated recently, for example, that some 96% of all classical music broadcast in the United States is on public radio stations.

Federal money for public radio and television has traditionally been appropriated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributes it to NPR and PBS. Roughly 70% of the money goes directly to the 330 PBS and 246 NPR stations across the country, although that’s only a shorthand way to describe its potential impact.

Trump, who has called the CPB a “monstrosity,” has long said that public broadcasting displays an extreme liberal bias, helped create the momentum in recent months for an anti-public broadcasting groundswell among his supporters in Congress and around the country. It is part of a larger initiative in which he has targeted institutions — particularly cultural ones — that produce content or espouse attitudes that he considers “un-American.” The CPB’s demise represents a political victory for those efforts.

His impact on the media landscape has been profound. He has also gone after U.S. government media that had independence charters, including the venerable Voice of America, ending that media outlet’s operations after many decades.

Trump also fired three members of the corporation’s board of directors in April. In legal action at the time, the fired directors said their dismissal was governmental overreach targeting an entity whose charter guarantees it independence.

Tightening!

Chris Smalls and Anas Nairoukh were assaulted while in Israeli custody. They were part of a freedom flotilla trying to deliver supplies to Gaza.

Israel is going to collapse. 

The end of the apartheid ethnostate is happening.

The millions of innocent lives stolen by this evil regime must be answered.

Israel is boycotting countries that recognize the state of Palestine. So I guess that is antisemitism if the "Jewish State" is told that Palestinians exist.

Already our U.S. president, Donald J. Trump is threatening sanctions and tariffs on participation states.

France, Spain, Ireland, Canada, Great Britain, Malta, San Marino and the Netherlands are officially breaking from the status quo.

We're too late but it is finally welcomed.

Soon, the pressure on the United States.

If the U.S. continues to block, veto or threaten sanctions, the world will abandon the the dollar. The world will end the U.S. dominance in the long term.

After watching another Freedom Floatella being raided and an American activist being beaten up by the Israelis, more countries are starting to fucking wake up.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted and boarded the Handala, an aid ship that attempted to reach Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, a grassroots international collective that has worked to end Israel’s blockade of Gaza since 2010. According to the coalition, IDF soldiers beat and choked the American labor activist Chris Smalls, who was onboard the ship. Smalls is most well-known for co-founding the Amazon Labor Union.

The Handala, which carried food, baby formula, diapers and medicine, was attempting to breach Israel’s blockade of Gaza, as Palestinians there continue to starve in what UN-backed hunger experts have called a “worst-case scenario of famine” that is unfolding.

“The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirms that upon arrival in Israeli custody, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back,” the Freedom Flotilla Coalition wrote in a statement posted on Instagram on Tuesday morning.

“When his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists. We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced.”

Freedom fighters. Hamas has proven to the world they are not terrorists. They are fighting a brutal occupier who systematically abused them for a generation.

In a statement to the Guardian, the Israeli foreign ministry wrote: “Contrary to the claims made, the passenger violently resisted. This was a planned provocation intended to create media attention. We emphasize that no other passenger made a similar claim.” The Guardian has contacted Smalls for his response to the foreign ministry’s allegations.

Smalls, the only Black person onboard the boat, was one of 21 members of the group who were detained. Others included 19 civilians, including parliamentarians, medics and engineers, and two journalists. Jacob Berger, a Jewish American actor who shared on Instagram that Smalls was in “great spirits” after his detention – everyone else who was detained, he said, should be released on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The interception of the Handala came as more than 30 Israeli public figures called for “crippling sanctions” over Israel’s starvation of Gaza. Donald Trump said he wanted “to make sure [Gazans] get the food, every ounce of food” during a recent meeting with the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer.

The Handala was not the first effort by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to deliver aid to Gaza. Previous attempts, including one in June in which Greta Thunberg was arrested, were also intercepted by Israel. In 2010, Israeli commandos killed 10 activists setting sail for Gaza on the Mavi Marmara.

France and 14 other Western nations called on countries worldwide to move to recognize a Palestinian state, France's top diplomat said Wednesday.

The foreign ministers of 15 countries late Tuesday issued a joint statement following a conference in New York, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, aimed at reviving a two-state solution between Israelis and the Palestinians.

"In New York, together with 14 other countries, France is issuing a collective appeal: we express our desire to recognize the State of Palestine and invite those who have not yet done so to join us," French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot wrote on X.

The statement was signed by the foreign ministers of Andorra, Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia and Spain.

Big Sky Bloodshed: Mass Shooting In Anaconda, Montana!

You think you're safe. Even in gun friendly Montana, mass shootings.

This would be mass shooting 301.

Okay, folks. Here's a simple question?

Is gun violence and funding Israel the two biggest issues in the United States?

If you agree with me, then you are on the right side of humanity. We cannot continue living in this status quo of everything normal. Gun violence is the biggest threat to Americans. Aiding a rogue state as it commits atrocities across the world has no stake in the United States. Alas, this country is birthed through violent colonialism and outdated rules of engagement.

Mass shooting in rural Montana.

Anaconda, Montana is a consolidated town-county with Deer Lodge County. 

It is close to Butte. Interstate 90 passes through the town. Nearly 10,000 people live in the town.

Mass shootings so far: 300. Cities in Bold are numerous mass shootings.

Police officers killed so far: 50 killed.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Greg Gianforte, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT), Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and Rep. Troy Downing (R-MT) were notified.

A shooting at a Montana bar left four people dead Friday, prompting a lockdown in a neighborhood several miles away as authorities searched for the suspect in a wooded area.

The shooting happened around 10:30 a.m. at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, according to the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation, which is leading the investigation. The agency confirmed four people were pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect, who was identified as 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown, lived next door to the bar, according to public records. Authorities said his home was cleared by a SWAT team and that he was last seen in the Stump Town area, which is just west of Anaconda.

More than a dozen officers from local and state police converged on that area, locking it down so no one was allowed in or out. A helicopter also hovered over a nearby mountainside as officers moved among the trees, said Randy Clark, a retired police officer who lives there.

Brown was believed to be armed, the Montana Highway Patrol said in a statement.

As reports of the shooting spread through town, business owners locked their doors and sheltered inside with customers. At Caterpillars to Butterflies Childcare, a nursery a few blocks from the shooting scene, owner Sage Huot said she’d kept the children inside all day after someone called to let her know about the violence.

Not a Muslim. Not a Black man. Not an immigrant.

“We’re constantly doing practice drills, fire drills and active shooter drills, so we locked down the facility, locked the doors, and we have a quiet spot where we play activities away from all of our windows and doors,” Huot said.

Anaconda is about 75 miles (120 kilometers) southeast of Missoula in a valley hemmed in by mountains. A town of about 9,000 people, it was founded by copper barons who profited off nearby mines in the late 1800s. A smelter stack that’s no longer operational looms over the valley.

The owner of the Firefly Café in Anaconda said she locked up her business at about 11 a.m. Friday after getting alerted to the shooting by a friend.

“We are Montana, so guns are not new to us,” café owner Barbie Nelson said. “For our town to be locked down, everybody’s pretty rattled.”

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!

IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!

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.

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 rightWhite 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. 

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.

Expect more.

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. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.

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

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 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. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. 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.
