My Baby Can't Raise Her Baby!

Young pregnant woman loses her life to senseless gun violence. A road rage incident in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana becomes a national story.

A teen mother's life was cut way too short.

Katelynn Strate will not see the joys of parenthood. She will never see her baby grow up to become an adult. She will not even have a graduation. 

Strate, 17 was gunned down in Louisiana. She was seven months pregnant amd the emergency aid had to deliver the baby prematurely.

The suspect shot her and her boyfriend in a road rage incident.

The suspect is being held on first degree murder and attempted murder.

Oh, the suspect is Black and the victim is white. So expect the far right to attack the suspect, the victim or the scenario as a race issue.

The suspect and victim did not know each other. A simple provoking like a middle finger, throwing objects from a vehicle, verbal insults directly cussing at the motorist could trigger a violent road rage incident.

The man accused of a weekend road rage shooting in Louisiana that killed a teen girl is facing a second-degree murder charge.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office said a 17-year-old girl was shot in the head during the confrontation and died on Tuesday after being removed from life support.

The agency and family members confirmed the 17-year-old who died was Katelynn Strate.

Authorities said Strate was seven months pregnant when she was shot by 54-year-old Barry West on Sunday morning near Ponchatoula. Her unborn baby, at 28 weeks, was saved by an emergency C-section and “continues to do well under medical care,” the sheriff’s office said.

Strate’s family said the teen became an organ donor after it was determined she would not recover from her gunshot injury.

According to deputies, West fired shots into a Ford Expedition occupied by three people, including Strate as a passenger, in what they are calling a road rage shooting on North Hoover Road.

The sheriff’s office said the driver of the Expedition and West, who was in a Dodge truck, were going in the same direction but began tailgating and “brake-checking” each other.

West allegedly told investigators he thought occupants of the Ford shot at him first and that he defended himself by returning fire, but detectives and deputies said they determined no other shots were fired and no weapon was found in the Ford.

Young mother will not graduate nor see her child become an adult.

Social media posts claimed West was a former TPSO deputy, but the agency said that has not been verified as true.

“Records dating back as far as our system currently allows [2007] do not show any employees with the last name West,” the agency said.

Investigators said the shooting remains under investigation and if anyone has any further information, they should contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 985-902-2088.

Family members said funeral arrangements for Strate are pending.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Suspect claims victims pointed a firearm at him.

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 assume 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 lawmakers 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. 

Trump gave us open season.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Expect more.

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.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Grandpa, My Food Taste Funny!

He can claim he is an Israeli and flee.

A North Carolina board of elections official was arrested. He was caught trying to slip a drug inside the food of his grandchildren.

James “Jimmy” Yokeley Jr. resigned on Thursday as chair of the Surry County Board of Elections, effective immediately. The State Board of Elections will appoint a new Surry County chair as soon as possible after receiving two nominations from the North Carolina Republican Party.

According to the Wilmington Police Department, 66-year-old Yokeley flagged down a police officer at a gas station on Aug. 8 and said his two granddaughters found two hard objects in ice cream they got at Dairy Queen. The children had not ingested the pills. According to The New York Post, the girls were 15 and 16 years old. 

The pills were later determined to be illegal narcotics. 

The police immediately went to the Dairy Queen to investigate workers. The workers would have been fired, arrested and sued had the police not obtained evidence clearing the restaurant of wrong doing,

See if you're Trump, you can get away with sexual assualt, sedition, theft, fraud and deception.

Investigators later reviewed video footage that showed Yokeley was the one who put the pills in the ice cream. He was arrested on charges of contaminating food with a controlled substance, felony child abuse and possession of a Schedule I narcotic. He was released from jail on a $100,000 bond. 

Yokeley was chairman of the board before his arrest. He has since resigned. According to The New York Post, Yokeley previously ran for a seat on the Surry County Board of Education as a Republican, but he lost that election.

It's not looking good for Republicans. They defend Donald J. Trump, a cognitively declining adjudicated sexual predator, convicted felon, twice impeached president.

They allow Israelis to enter the country without restrictions. Hell, even a top intelligence official managed to escape custody after he tried to have sex with a minor.

Trump, Israel, the Republican Party are basically supporters of this type of shit.

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

The Cash Fever!

Would it be nice to win a billion on Labor Day?

Say, I haven't gambled in three years. I plan on not even being tempted to do so.

I just want you to know that Powerball rolled pass $1 billion and Monday's jackpot will be at least $1.25 billion by draw time.

It really must be bad for the casino and gaming industry. I am not talking much about it. Ohio has seven racinos and four casinos. I used to work for two of them.

Since I was let go, I stopped gambling and also tightened my wallet. I work at a non union company that doesn't pay enough and I feel like it is starting to affect my health. I am experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome and I fear that health insurance will not cover any medical expenses. 

I haven't taken an actual vacation since 2016.

Still, if I decide to pay the lottery and win.... siranora.

The Cash Fever, a series of honest takes on how to be a smart jackpot winner. And take my word for it, it comes in handy when you enter a new tax bracket. 

So once again, if you are willing to risk a few dollars, maybe you could become a billionaire.

With these polarizing times, maybe if you do win, you could leave the United States and find a tax haven in a green notice country or territory.

Things to get out the way.....


In about 23 states, you can remain anonymous. But if you are willing to show yourself to the public, here we go.....

Do want to you want to be a millionaire or billionaire?

In my state of Ohio, sports betting is legal. You can legally bet on sporting events for chance of earning a huge payout. The state has issued licenses to the four casinos and seven racinos. 

Sports betting is also available at many bars, clubs and convenience stores that have legal betting stations.

I am wondering, are you willing to pony up at least $2 to play a multi-state lottery game for a chance at winning over $1 billion?

Played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and two U.S. territories, Powerball is a coordinated by the State Lottery Association (MUSL), a nonprofit organization formed by an agreement with lobbyists and U.S. corporations. From its inaugural drawing on April 19, 1992, until August 21, 2021, Powerball drawings were held twice a week (Wednesday and Saturday); a third weekly drawing (held Mondays) was added on August 23, 2021. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evening at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee.

Mega Millions is drawn at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday and Friday evenings, including holidays. Mega Millions is administered by a consortium of its 12 original lotteries; the drawings are held at the studios of WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia, supervised by the Georgia Lottery. Played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands with Puerto Rico being added in the near future, Mega Millions is independent from MUSL but does have an agreement with the consortium of states that operated the similar Mega Millions lottery, which allowed MUSL members to sell Mega Millions tickets and consortium members to sell Powerball tickets. 

Many who are often playing are not rich. I will take the posts of X user Andrew Lokenauth (@FluentInFinance). In Dec. 2024, he made almost similar advice to what you should do if you become an instant billionaire.

Most who often play are either a family member, co-worker or friend who has a gambling addiction.

So here's the public service announcement.

Most lotteries and casinos offer help for problem gambling. I want to acknowledge this.

The National Council on Problem Gambling operates the National Problem Gambling Helpline Network (1-800-522-4700). The network is a single national access point to local resources for those seeking help for a gambling problem. 

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.

You can get help if you, a loved one or friend is dealing with drug abuse.

SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357)

SAMHSA’s National Helpline is a free, confidential, 24/7, 365-day-a-year treatment referral and information service (in English and Spanish) for individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders.

It is a difficult thing to tell a family member, friend, co-worker or a player of a gambling venue. But if see something, say something. It may save a life.

The signs of problem gambling include:

  • The person constantly borrowing money from friends, family, loan facilities or banks.
  • The person is always taking more out to chase the jackpot (or clout).
  • The person loses track of time or misses appointments due to gambling.
  • The person is running late on paying bills or dues.
  • The person feels like "playing it back" is the only way to win.
  • The person is getting agitated over wins and losses.
  • The person is using alcohol or drugs to ease stress. 
  • The person damages property at casinos or lottery retailers.
  • The person deliberately asks others to claim prizes to avoid paying child support, spousal support or owed taxes.
  • The person uses false ID, false social security numbers or gives wrong information to avoid taxes or has known status as a banned guest or voluntarily excluded player (self-prevention/restricted gambler).
  • The person is restless and feel the only way to relax is to gamble.
  • The person is jeopardizing relationships, their jobs and their social life in order to gamble.
  • The person repeatedly lies about wins and loses.
  • The person is trying to curb problem gambling but never achieves the goal.
  • The person has trouble adjusting to increases in lottery prices and rule changes.
  • The person usually holds up lines in businesses due to inconsistent demands or repetitive calls of plays and bets.
  • The person often uses phone apps to purchase lottery tickets and sports bets without consideration of funds.
  • The person is upset when family members, friends or frequent winners win jackpots or prizes.

These are the hard truths about problem gambling. You know someone or have a problem. That's why it's important to know your limits when you gamble. 

Folks, the multi-state Powerball will now have three active drawings. The original jackpot drawings were on Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59pm. Now the drawings will be on Monday nights as well.

It will try to increase the opportunity for players who avoided playing during the pandemic.

Rules on how to play lottery. Note: Many lottery venues are no longer taking verbal requests due to the coronavirus and the possibility of eliminating long wait times due to excessive ticket requests.

  • Make sure you have money on hand. The operator is required to take money before issuing a ticket. Make sure you have your numbers placed on either a betting card, your lottery app or a previous ticket. Most operators will help you plug numbers in through the terminal or place an automatic bet for you. However in the case of long lines or possible errors, it would be best to be prepared for the transaction. Some states do offer debit and credit transactions. Make sure you get your information from your local lottery commission. You cannot cancel Powerball or Mega Millions tickets. They are property of your state (or territory's) lottery commission. Any alteration, distortion or underage playing will void the games.
  • In most states, the required age to play the lottery is 18 years old (21 in some states) or older. Do not let anyone under the playing age purchase a ticket or lottery game. The operator could lose their license or you will forfeit your prize if the regional lottery operator determined that an underage player was the winner.
  • If you purchase Powerball and Mega Millions from another state (or territory) and you won, understand that it is not a winner in your home state. You must return to the state (or territory) where you purchased the ticket. The Mega Millions is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. If you're a traveler and won the lottery in the state of purchase, you have to return to the state to claim your prize. Every state has their own rules and regulations so don't think "it's all the same." It's not. It's a licensed property of the state gaming commission. 
  • Whenever a lottery retailer handles a jackpot ticket, ask the cashier to make sure you hear the "winner" sound. Most machines will make a noise if you're a winner. There are also ticket verifying stations located near a lottery terminal. Make sure before you hand a ticket to a cashier, you are sure you won a jackpot. Ask for a claims form and/or a validation claim voucher. If you are claiming jackpots that are under $500 or less at a licensed lottery operator, check your tickets at a lottery scanner first before handing the ticket off to the clerk. Make sure the cashier confirms the ticket. Tickets over $500 or more may have to go to a local lottery office in a regional jurisdiction. Lottery operators have vendor licenses and tickets are printed by a large set of numbers. If any allegations of fraud or cheating do occur, the lottery can subpoena the operator for the records of purchase and video surveillance of the person who purchased the ticket.
  • Mega Millions tickets are $5 per unit. The multiplier is included regardless of how many tickets are purchased. Powerball tickets are $2 with an additional $1 for the multiplier. Mega Millions minimum jackpots start at $50 million. Powerball minimum jackpots start at $20 million.
  • You can view the results of Mega Millions and Powerball on your local television station at 10:59pm. Mega Millions is drawn on Tuesday and Friday. Powerball is drawn on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. You can also get your state's lottery results on websites, the lottery commission apps on the Apple Store and Google Play. You can view results on social media. 
  • You can self-validate tickets under $500 through your phone so it can make it "touchless" contact. You can also get winnings under $500 installed in your bank account or through a credit card. Some fees do apply for distribution of cards and bank deposits.
  • You have at least 90 days to a year to claim a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot. Some states have a period of time to claim your prize. If you fail to claim the prize upon its final claim day, it will go back to the state. The lottery operator will collect a reward for selling the winning ticket. Do not wait till the last minute to claim a jackpot prize. The lottery commission does have the right to forfeit or cancel any prizes presented.
  • Do not quit your job until you're certain you won the lottery. At the end of the day, some people get bored with their lives and may want to return to the workforce. Don't burn bridges with your employer. You may have to return back to the employer one day.
  • Inflation and the coronavirus have changed the world. Many companies have risen prices on food, supplies, rent and utilities. Lottery paper has become very scarce in some retailers. Please understand that it is not a retailer's fault they are out of lottery paper or the machine is down. Please have patience and an understanding of a lottery retailer's resources.
  • Do not believe the news reports about a winner coming forward immediately after the announcement of a winning ticket being sold. If the winner was smart, they would wait until the media moves on to the latest controversy. When you see a person appear in public 24 hours after a win, it is a publicity stunt or a grift. Many winners do not appear until they are in the presence of lottery officials, security and lawyers.

You know I've often posted about what I would do if I won the lottery. It is not legal advise so you don't have to take my word for it. I am just expressing what I am going to do if I win the lottery.

I will first write my name on the lottery ticket. If I choose to not write my name on the ticket, I will prepare a trust fund. I will always make sure that if I ever lose that ticket, my name is on it and it cannot be claimed by someone who is the person who wrote on the back of it.

I will also make sure I take a picture of the ticket. It will be a good thing to take a picture if you want to prove to your state's lottery commission that you were the one who purchased the ticket. I mean it would be smart to take pictures of your lottery tickets. Say if you have a group purchase of lottery tickets and you purchase one for yourself or your family member. You won't have to obligate to the group pool's tickets if you show that you bought one for yourself. Because it will be a legal matter if you purchase the group tickets but failed to disclose you purchased one for yourself. Even though you won on your own separate ticket, it's best to let the group know that you purchased a solo ticket to prevent them from believing you've stolen money or violated the group's contract.

If I do win the lottery, I will immediately pay off all my debts. The car loans, child support, spousal support, medical bills, phone bills, mortgage, court fees and bank loans will be paid in full. Before I even collect my lottery winnings, I want to be caught up on everything. Many states will offset lottery winnings due to a person owning state debt, child support, spousal support and court fees. If you know that you owe, pay it off.

I will immediately close my social media and change my phone number. If you're a winner of the lottery, the junk food media, your family, your friends, your acquaintances, your co-workers, your former lovers, your community, charity groups, scammers and the state will know you. I am going to cancel my Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat and social dating apps. I am very clear about my movements and I chose to not be public about it. When I was younger and naive, I would have shown my face to the public. But alas, I've gotten older and I am not the same as I was when I was younger. People are willing to rob and sometimes kill if you reveal yourself as a lottery winner.

I will also get a trust fund prepared, a will and a trusted member of family to hold my winnings. Yeah, it would be nice to establish a trust fund for family members if you do die. I mean life is full of uncertainty. Winning the lottery has higher odds than catching the coronavirus or being struck . On point, 1 out of 15 people are infected with the coronavirus and people have died from it. You win the lottery one day and the next day you caught the coronavirus. You got to remind yourself, you can't take it when you're gone. So it's best to establish a will to distribute your lottery winning to either family, charity and those who you feel deserve it. It will be written and notarized by an attorney or a bank. If you do establish a trust fund you could hire a financial advisor or a family member to oversee your earnings. Make sure that financial advisor is licensed and trusted by the Better Business Bureau. It also must be routine to study on how lottery winners adapt to money. Cause you're going into a bigger tax bracket and taxes vary in many states.

Now that I have my lottery winnings, I will now take the opportunity to buy things that are rational. I would purchase a vehicle, get a home, put some in an investment and prepare for a vacation. Of course, vacations are no longer the norm in the age of COVID-19. Trump's return has made Americans more cautious about traveling overseas. The United States support for Israel also made it more difficult for Americans to travel. So I would be smart to be prepared to be tested or vaccinated for the coronavirus before I take a vacation. I will not take a personal phone or tablet with me. Always use a pay as go phone or a tablet with strong VPNs. Some countries and the United States will check your electronics without consent. Many countries have banned Americans entry to their countries out of fear of being in support of Israel. Some travelers maybe carrying a serious illness like the coronavirus or not be vaccinated. With the rise of serious diseases and Trump's failure to take control of the matter, world leaders don't trust the American leadership in handling a global pandemic. Expensive vehicles include more insurance rates. More homes require use of electricity or water resources. Overseas vacations are nice but you must check with the State Department if you travel to countries that could pose danger to you as an American. Think rational about your winnings. Because at the end of the day, you can blow millions in a matter of five years.

You might also want to make sure you're not playing lottery on company work time if you work at gas stations, restaurants, casinos, bars and pool halls. You might also want to make sure that you don't scratch the tickets first then pay for them last. I used to work at a gas station and a former co-worker often took lottery tickets, scratch them off and then pay for them after they were scratched.

Taking lottery tickets is not only theft but a felony in some states if the vendor decides to press charges. 

Not only the lottery vendor could lose their license (if they look the other way), they lose the bonus from the sold winning ticket and they could be audited by the lottery commission. The worker will be forbidden from playing lottery if convicted. And yes, family members or friends who try to buy on behalf of a banned player could be criminally charged.

Be humble about winning the lottery. You will not live a normal life. You could hopefully use the lottery winnings for a long time of success or squander it away within five years and end up miserable. Do not worry about the have-nots! Enjoy the winnings with pride and caution. Your success shouldn't be a punishment. If you do take the opportunity to win the lottery make yourself aware of the surroundings. 

This is not a joke.

This my opinion and I stand by what I say!

President Donald J. Trump's policies have put a dent in America's playground. The city of Las Vegas is struggling right now. Thanks to his push to deport immigrants, the harsh conditions for foreign travelers visiting the United States, the tariffs and people struggling financially, Las Vegas has a drop in revenue.

Las Vegas has seen a 15% decline in tourism. That amounts to at least $40 billion in revenue. The cost of products inside casinos are way too expensive. 

Not many people are lining up in crowded lines. I mean at one time, you would have lines for blocks trying to buy a Powerball or Mega Millions ticket. Not anymore.

People are reluctant because of the odds. The frequent states that often winner claim tickets from, California and Florida often discourage high player turnout.

Now to the greed of all things.

A Flint, Michigan group was caught using fake credit cards to steal lottery tickets.

The Warsaw Police Department has identified three individuals believed to be responsible for a widespread fraud scheme targeting retail stores across Eastern North Carolina and multiple states nationwide.

The investigation was in cooperation with the Jacksonville Police Department, Onslow County Sheriff’s Office, Beulaville Police Department, Clinton Police Department, North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE), and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI).

Over the past several months, investigators have uncovered a series of thefts involving prepaid Visa gift cards and lottery tickets, in which suspects used deceptive payment tactics to obtain thousands of dollars in merchandise and winnings fraudulently, according to a news release.

Two men and a woman went across the country trying to purchase lottery and food with fraudulent cards.

At local businesses, the suspects presented non-functioning Cash App or YouTube gift cards and inadvertently activated the cards. Once activated, the suspects grabbed the items and fled the premises—typically escaping in a white Volkswagen Tiguan SUV bearing Florida registration. The vehicle was registered to Avis Rental, and further investigation revealed ties to three suspects.

The Warsaw Police Department can now confirm the identity and legal status of the following suspects, all of whom are from Flint, Michigan:

Darious Delshawn Welch, 20, was extradited from Illinois and transported back to Duplin County, North Carolina, on August 26, 2025. A detective from the Warsaw Police Department then interviewed him. He was served with nine active warrants issued by multiple agencies, including the Warsaw Police Department, Beulaville Police Department, Clinton Police Department, Jacksonville Police Department, and Onslow County Sheriff’s Office.

Welch is currently being held in the Duplin County Jail under a $180,000 secured bond. He is facing a total of 31 charges, including:

• 9 counts of Felony Obtaining Property by False Pretense

• 1 count of Felony in Possession of Stolen Goods

• 8 counts of Felony Conspiracy

• 4 counts of Felony Organized Retail Theft

• 2 counts of Felony Larceny

• 6 counts of Misdemeanor Larceny

• 1 count of Misdemeanor Conspiracy

Welch is expected to appear in the courts of Duplin, Sampson, and Onslow counties in the coming days. Additionally, an active investigation is underway in South Carolina, where Welch is also suspected of committing similar offenses.

Keaysha Warren, 22, has been identified through forensic evidence, including the use of her Michigan EBT card at several locations associated with fraud. The Warsaw Police Department has issued outstanding warrants for her arrest and extradition. Her current location is under investigation.

Jalen Jamal Coleman, 19, is currently being held in Michigan, where he faces charges related to similar criminal activity. The Warsaw Police Department has issued outstanding warrants for his extradition to North Carolina. Coleman was previously identified in connection with a similar fraud investigation in Columbia, South Carolina.

They would have gotten away with it had they not been greedy.

It is believed that these three individuals, along with other unidentified accomplices, have been participating in similar criminal schemes for at least two years across approximately 10 states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Delaware, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Indiana.

On June 20–21, 2025, the suspects targeted numerous retail establishments in Onslow and Duplin Counties, including Sheetz and Best Mart in Warsaw, where they successfully activated and fled with high-value prepaid cards and lottery tickets after coaxing the clerks into activating them before rendering successful payment. In several instances, they escaped with over $5,000 in merchandise per incident.

This is an ongoing, multi-jurisdictional investigation involving local and state and federal law enforcement partners, including the North Carolina SBI, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), Waterford Police Department (Michigan), West Chicago Police Department (Illinois), U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force, and agencies across multiple other states.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Rudy Roo!

Retire your old ass.

No matter how much trouble he gets into, he still owes Ruby Freeman and Shey Moss most of his assets. Former New York City mayor and former attorney to President Donald J. Trump was seriously injured in a car accident.

Rudy Giuliani is recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire in which he was a passenger, a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor said Sunday.

Giuliani was being driven in a rented Ford Bronco by his spokesperson Ted Goodman when their vehicle was struck from behind by a Honda HR-V driven by a 19-year-old woman late Saturday evening, New Hampshire State Police said in a statement.

Troopers witnessed the crash, which caused both vehicles to hit the highway median and left them “heavily damaged,” state police said. Goodman and the 19-year-old suffered “non-life-threatening injuries” and were taken to hospitals for treatment, the agency added.

State police said they are investigating the crash and no charges have been filed.

Giuliani, 81, was taken to a nearby trauma center and was being treated for a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg, according to a statement posted on X by Michael Ragusa, Giuliani’s head of security.

Do you believe this? 

I mean he is the guy who tried to sleep with a minor. Well, the actress Maria Bakalova was of age, but she pretended to be a 17 year old reporter in the Sasha Baron Cohen's comedy Borat II.

Giuliani “sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously,” Ragusa said, adding: “This was not a targeted attack.”

Prior to the accident, Giuliani had been “flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident” and contacted police assistance on her behalf, Ragusa said. After police arrived, Giuliani continued on his way and his vehicle was hit shortly after pulling onto the highway in a crash that was “entirely unrelated” to the domestic violence incident, Ragusa told The Associated Press in an emailed statement.

State police said troopers were investigating a domestic violence report on the southbound Interstate 93 highway shortly before 10 p.m. and observed the crash, which occurred on the northbound lanes. Troopers and fire personnel quickly crossed to provide help.

New Hampshire State Police declined to comment on whether Giuliani had contacted the agency regarding the account of a domestic violence incident.

Goodman did not respond to requests for comment and Giuliani’s team did not provide additional details about the circumstances surrounding the crash.

“Thank you to all the people that have reached out since learning the news about my Father,” Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani’s son, wrote in post on X. “Your prayers mean the world.”

The crash follows some rocky years for the onetime Republican presidential candidate, who was dubbed “America’s mayor” in light of his leadership in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

Giuliani later became Trump’s personal attorney for a time and a vocal proponent of Trump’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits claiming fraud, and numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error.

Two former Georgia elections workers later won a $148 million defamation judgment against Giuliani. As they sought to collect the judgment, the former federal prosecutor was found in contempt of court and faced a trial this winter over the ownership of some of his assets. He ultimately struck a deal that let him keep his homes and various belongings, including prized World Series rings, in exchange for unspecified compensation and a promise to stop speaking ill of the ex-election workers.

Grizzled!

Hello.

A woman who was preparing for a jog in Kenai, Alaska was severely injured in a bear attack. Ariean Fabrizio Colton got grizzled.

The woman was mauled when she got into the zone of a large grizzly bear.

Colton, 36, a mother of three, suffered "severe injuries" during the attack and will require "extensive surgeries and a long hospital stay," her family said on a fundraising page. 

"She made it probably 50 yards from her house," Alaska Wildlife Trooper David Lorring told KTUU-TV. "The bear came out of another property, it looks like it attacked her ... and dragged her approximately 100 yards down the road onto this guy’s property."

Lorring told the station that one of Colton’s neighbors heard the bear in the predawn hours. 

"He heard the barking, wolfing sound of a bear, he’d been around bears before and he thought a bear might have got a dog or was doing something in the neighborhood," he said. "He didn’t really think much of it and then he heard it some more. He ended up – daylight, he walked out there and located a female in the woods on his property." 

Colton’s family said they had just moved to Alaska this summer. 

"Ariean is a loving wife, mother of three, and a nurse, known for her adventurous spirit and love of nature," the family said. "She is extremely kind-hearted, strong, and resilient, and is always willing to help those in need."

Colton had left her house for her run and was attacked around 5:45 in the morning, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said in a release. 

Colton was taken by medivac with serious injuries to a hospital, officials said. The family explained that the Coltons live more than two hours away from a hospital. 

Alaska authorities are searching for the bear, believed to be a brown bear, on foot and via drone, but haven’t found it yet. 

Patrols of the area will continue, DPS said. 

Bears are native to Alaska. The most dangerous bears in Alaska are the brown (grizzly) and polar bear. The polar bear alone is able to attack and kill despite what you're supposed to do when preventing a bear attack.

1. Cover your trash, do not leave any food out and make sure you have no strong perfumes or lotions. Bird feeders, open garbage cans, barbecue pits, carion and illegal dumps are areas for bears to feed.

2. Do not approach a bear while eating, circulating around its cubs or trapped inside a vehicle or home. If a bear does get locked inside a vehicle, stay away and let the animal escape on its own. If a bear does get into your home, make noises, use a large stick, bear spray, penny cans or break glass to scare it. If you do lock a bear inside a room, you put yourself at danger of the animal destroying your home.
Northern exposure. Woman mauled by large bear.

3. Make yourself big, uses bear spray, an air horn, shake coin cans or make noises to scare bears. Most bears except polar bears are afraid of human contact. If you encounter polar bears, the unfortunate option is firearms. Polar bears will attack despite efforts to prevent it. In most states it is illegal to shoot bears without justification. Wildlife officials have legal jurisdiction to euthanize, shoot or remove bears.

4. As with all animals, bears are unpredictable. If people are feeding bears, they become less afraid and are willing to invade properties in search of food. Humans feeding bears steals the natural abilities these animals have when it comes to searching for food and shelter.

Can we get the Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I don't get why some of these people believe it's their mission to disrupt the lives of others. 

This is why Republicans are idiots. Democrats are idiots too but at least some of them have the sense to not engage in stupidity. Not saying all Republicans are idiots, but definitely the ones who voted for President Donald J. Trump are.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"

Interacting with uncontacted people is dangerous. Well, they are.... you know!"

If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.

Ahmed al-Rahawi Passed Away!

Israel carried out another illegal attack. It killed Yemen's Prime Minister.

Israel must be destroyed. It can no longer sustain existence as a nation.

It is no longer a participating partner in world peace. It is by far the only nation besides Russia and the United States destined for a collapse.

What Israel done was an act of war and another reason why World War III is happening as we speak.

This is not justified and shows how international law is a joke. The Yemeni government has formally declared war on Israel after the apartheid ethnostate conducted a drone strike on Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi. 

There is no reaction from world leaders other than Iran. Had it been a European leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, President Donald J. Trump or President Vladimir Putin, international outrage.

Al-Rahawi was killed in Thursday’s strike in Sanaa along with a number of ministers, they said in a statement. Other ministers and officials were wounded, the statement added without providing details.

Al-Rahawi served in several high-level local positions from 2000 to 2015 including director general and chairman of the Local Council of Khanfar District, deputy governor of Al Mahwit Governorate and Deputy Governor of Abyan Governorate.

Al-Rahawi was the subject of several assassination attempts, with several family members being injured, and in 2015, Al-Qaeda blew up his only house, in Ba Tays.

Afterwards, he moved to the capital of Yemen, Sanaa.

He later became the governor of Abyan Governorate and in 2019, he was appointed to the Houthi-led Supreme Political Council, which is the executive body for the Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen.

Al-Rahawi was a member of the General People's Congress party and was a member of the party's Central Committee. In August 2024, al-Rahawi was named the prime minister of Yemen by the Supreme Political Council, succeeding Abdel-Aziz bin Habtour. He became the prime minister as the government was reorganized into what was called the "Government of Change and Construction," announced shortly after his appointment.

The premier was targeted along with other members of the government during a “routine workshop held by the government to evaluate its activities and performance over the past year,” the Houthi statement said.

Thursday’s strike took place as the television stations was broadcasting a speech by Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the secretive leader of the Houthis in which he was sharing updates on the latest Gaza developments and vowing retaliation against Israel. Senior Houthi officials used to gather to watch al-Houthi’s prerecorded speeches.

Al-Rahawi wasn’t part of the inner circle around al-Houthi that runs the military and strategic affairs of the group. His government, like the previous ones, was tasked with running the day-to-day civilian affairs in Sanaa and other Houthi-held areas.

The strike that killed the prime minister targeted a meeting for Houthi leaders in a villa in Beit Baws, an ancient village in southern Sanaa, three tribal leaders told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared repercussions.

On Thursday, the Israeli military said it “precisely struck a Houthi terrorist regime military target in the area of Sanaa in Yemen.” Late on Saturday, the military in a statement confirmed killing al-Rahawi “along with additional senior officials.” It said senior officials among the dozens at the facility struck were responsible for “terror actions” against Israel.

“Yemen endures a lot for the victory of the Palestinian people,” al-Rahawi had said following an Israeli strike last week that struck an facility owned by the country’s main oil company, which is controlled by the rebels in Sanaa, as well as a power plant.

The Aug. 24 strike came three days after the Houthis launched a ballistic missile toward Israel that its military described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had launched at it since 2023.

The prime minister hailed from the southern province of Abyan, and was an ally to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. He allied himself with the Houthis when the rebels overran Sanaa, and much of the north and center of the country in 2014, initiating the country’s long-running civil war. He was appointed as prime minister in August 2024.

The United States and Israel began their air and naval campaign against the Houthis in response to the rebels’ missile and drone attacks on Israel and on ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis targeted ships in response to the war in Gaza, saying they were acting in solidarity with the Palestinians. Their attacks over the past two years have upended shipping in the Red Sea, through which about $1 trillion of goods pass each year.

The U.S. and Israeli strikes killed dozens of people in Yemen. One U.S. strike in April hit a prison holding African migrants in northern Sadaa province, killing at least 68 people and wounding 47 others.

GROK, can you make an image of Benjamin Netanyahu surrounded by Yemeni Houthis facing trial!

Ahmed Nagi, a senior Yemen analyst with the Crisis Group International, a Brussels-based think tank, called the killing of the Houthi prime minister a “serious setback” for the rebels.

He said it marks an Israeli shift from striking the rebels’ infrastructure to targeting their leaders, including senior military figures, which “poses a greater threat to their command structure.”

In May, the Trump administration announced a deal with the Houthis to end the airstrikes in return for an end to attacks on shipping. The rebels, however, said the agreement did not include halting attacks on targets it believed were aligned with Israel.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps called the attack a war crime that sought to suppress Yemen's support for the Palestinians, and added that the attack "will ignite greater anger and expand the geography of resistance." Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian urged an international response to Israel, while judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i said the attacks displayed "Israel's failure to defeat Yemen militarily".

Hezbollah secretary-general Naim Qassem sent condolences to Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.

Is Funk Flex Finished?

Funkmaster Flex leaves cryptic message about his future as a media personality on New York’s Hot 97.

The longtime media personality announced his last show on New York’s flagship station for hip-hop and R&B.

Raymond "Benzino" Scott is probably having two ulcers right now.

Funkmaster Flex announced on X that his Labor Day special will be his last.

Aston Taylor Jr. was born in the Bronx borough of New York City to Jamaican immigrant parents. His father, DJ Aston George Taylor Sr., was a sound system professional. He was raised in a strict, religious household. At the age of 16, he began DJing at local nightclubs

What is happening right now?


Since 1992, Flex was hosting the late afternoon and evening spot on Hot 97 FM.

It was later revealed that Flex was simply switching time slots at the station and will be on air from 5PM to 7PM after Labor Day.

Nessa Nitty’s radio slot will reportedly move to 1-5 PM, while the morning show will have an updated time of 6 AM to 11 AM. DJ Drewski will be running the boards from 11 AM -1 PM and DJ Camilo, who previously held the 4-7 PM slot, will now spin from 4-5 PM. According to the outlet, veteran HOT 97 star, DJ Enuff, was released into free agency.

Flex has been a notorious agitator in the junk food media. 

At the peak of the 50 Cent and Ja Rule feud, the studio was targeted. 50's rivals Scott, The Game, the late Irv Gotti and Rick Ross threatened violence on Flex.

Flex also has angered Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj in the past. They boycotted the Summer Jam events because of Flex.

Trump Cuts Off The Protection For Harris!

I told you in the past posts, if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris listened to the base when it came to Israel.... we wouldn't have Donald J. Trump. Trump is pushing authoritarianism.

Sometimes, I almost wished divine intervention happened. Cause the things this man does will have reprehensible consequences. The irony is that former president Joe Biden, former president Barack Obama, former president George W. Bush, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,  former vice president Mike Pence, former vice president Dick Cheney, former governor Chris Christie, former president Al Gore and former vice president Kamala Harris all wished this man well. They did not want any harm on him.

Yet, this old dottering cognitively declining Donald J. Trump continues to hold these petty grudges. 

Trump has revoked the U.S. Secret Service protection of Harris.

So if she is running for president in 2028 and someone tries to assassinate her, well besides the shooter and the easy access to firearms, the blame definitely will fall on that senile Trump.

Again, I don't wish any harm on our president, our vice president, members of Congress or former officials. However, I will not shed tears if divine intervention happens.

Trump and Vice President JD Vance have more security protection due to their stupidity and endless agitation. Their governance single handedly made the United States decline in economic stability, democracy and credibility of trust.

Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life. Harris, as a former vice president, received six months of protection after leaving office, according to federal law. That period ended on July 21. However, her protection had been extended for an additional year via a directive – not made public until now – signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement.

That is the order Trump canceled in his letter, titled “Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security” and dated Thursday.

“You are hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris,” the letter reads in full.

The order to remove Harris’ detail came from the White House, one official with the Secret Service told CNN.

The decision was not part of a security review or new threat assessment, the source said. Leadership within the agency did not flag any security concerns or push back from the White House’s order, the official said, who noted that Harris’s detail would range from a dozen to a few dozen agents depending on her schedule and shift changes for 24-hour security.

Trump’s ending of Harris’ protection comes as she soon embarks on a multi-city, high-profile book tour around the release of “107 Days,” her new memoir on her short presidential campaign, set to be released September 23. That will put her more in the public spotlight than she has been since leaving office, during which time she’s attended only a few public events.

“The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety,” Kirsten Allen, a Harris senior adviser, told CNN.

Presidents and presidential candidates face frequent security threats. There were two assassination attempts against Trump during his run for president last year.

Harris, according to people familiar with her security operations, faced particular security concerns given that she was the first woman and first Black woman in the role. Those concerns only increased after she became the nominee, the people familiar with her security operations told CNN, and was still at a high level into January following the campaign, with feelings about the election still raw.

A Biden spokesperson declined to comment on what led to his signing the order extending Harris’ protection.

Biden was revoked from daily briefs. Harris and Emhoff lose Secret Service protection.

But what will now disappear is not just the agents assigned to guard her in person, 24-7: Secret Service protection includes constant analysis of threat intelligence and covering in-person situations, emails, texts and social media. With her detail canceled, Harris aides are worried they will lose the same access to threat warnings, the people familiar with her security operations said. Her home, in the middle of Los Angeles, will also stop being protected by federal agents.

The cost of mounting any similar level of protection privately would be expensive, possibly going into the millions of dollars annually.

Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, lost his own personal detail on July 21 under the standard provisions for a former vice president’s spouse.

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was briefed on Harris losing her protection late Thursday. A person familiar with the discussions told CNN that the governor’s office could not comment on security arrangements or methods which may be activated as a replacement.

However, Newsom spokesperson Bob Salladay expressed outrage about Trump making the change.

“The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses,” Salladay told CNN.

Harris, as a Los Angeles resident, could also receive protection from the city police department. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Newsom were in touch Thursday evening about the situation.

“This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more. This puts the former Vice President in danger and I look forward to working with the Governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles,” Bass told CNN in a statement.

Joni Ernst Out!

GOP MILF Joni Ernst will not seek reelection for the senate.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is the oldest member of the U.S. Senate. He is 91 years old. He is likely gonna die in office because he just can't let it go. Republicans and Democrats are considering trying to recruit younger candidates to run.

Any candidate born from 1969 to 1999 will be suitable for this hyperpartisan, stuck in their old ways U.S. Congress.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) squealed her last pork barrel project. The former U.S. Army Lt. Colonial combat veteran and pig farmer served two terms as Iowa's senator. She announced she will not seek reelection come 2026.

Ernst has told confidantes she plans to reveal next week that she won't seek reelection in 2026, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

Ernst's announcement is scheduled for Thursday, the sources said. Ernst, 55, has served in the U.S. Senate since 2015.

Spokespeople for Ernst did not reply to requests for comment. 

Some Iowa Democrats have already jumped into the race, including state Sen. Zach Wahls, state Rep. Josh Turek, and Des Moines School Board chairwoman Jackie Norris. 

Ernst has been evasive about whether she would run for a third term in 2026, but in public remarks earlier this month, predicted continued GOP control of Iowa. 

"Every day we get a new Democratic member of the House or Senate that decides to run for this Senate seat — bring it on," she said at a meeting of the Westside Conservative Club. "Bring it on, folks. Because I tell you, at the end of the day, Iowa is going to be red."

White House officials had hoped Ernst would run again, instead of joining other Republicans who are leaving the Senate, including North Carolina's Thom Tillis, Alabama's Tommy Tuberville and Kentucky's Mitch McConnell. 

GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee announced a run for governor but her Senate term does not expire until 2030. 

Ernst has told people close to her that she intended to serve only two terms, she has accomplished what she set out to do, and intends to head to the private sector, one of the sources said. 

A sexual abuse victim posing with a sexual predator.

She grew up in rural southwestern Iowa and graduated from Iowa State University. She joined the Army reserves, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard, after tours in Kuwait and Iraq. 

Ernst served in local and Iowa state government before running for an open U.S. Senate seat in 2014. She rose to the No. 3 leadership position in the Republican conference and has been a reliable vote for President Trump's agenda. She was interviewed by Trump as a potential vice presidential pick in 2016, but ultimately withdrew from consideration.

Dick Durbin of Illinois, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Jeanine Sheehan of New Hampshire, Gary Peters of Michigan, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Tina Smith of Minnesota are retiring or running for higher office.

Michigan, New Hampshire and Minnesota are considered toss up.

Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, North Carolina and Iowa are likely Republican

Illinois is likely Democrat.
