Trump is feuding with his most vocal supporter. Marjorie Taylor Greene is about to face a primary challenger.
Y'all voted for this.
President Donald J. Trump is vowing to primary Republicans who go against him.
It appears that he will likely turn against one of his most loyal supporters.
Yesterday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appeared outside Capitol Hill with Democrats to demand the release of the Jeffrey Epstein list of clients.
Trump continues to say its a Democrat hoax. He also is fuming.
The feud peaked on Tuesday, when Greene threatened to use Congress's Speech or Debate Clause immunity to name Epstein abusers on the House floor, saying: "If they want to give me a list, I will walk in that Capitol... and I'll say every damn name that abused these women."
This directly challenged Trump's administration, which has resisted releasing Epstein files despite pressure from Republicans like Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA). A Daily Mail report described it as Greene "stunningly splitt[ing] with him after he ignored Epstein victims' request," escalating intra-MAGA tensions. Trump allies responded with calls for her "immediate expulsion," accusing her of smearing the president.
Thank you Grok.
He will Liz Cheney her and Massie.
Greene, Massie, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) are insufferable members of the U.S. House. They sided with the Democrats on releasing all the files. Of course, the Republicans will block this.
Greene has literally demonized Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) during the Joe Biden presidency.
She still does but this time something changed.
Greene actually agrees with the two.
Israel killing children. She officially called this a genocide. Now she wants the president to drop the American First meme and say America Only.
Ro Khanna hugs Greene. Republicans are planning on primarying Greene and Thomas Massie for turning on Trump.
Greene being in the forefront is about to face MAGA or perhaps MIGA.
Greene revealed that she wanted to run for the Senate against Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) but they told her she was a liability. They said that if she wanted to advance her career, she needed to stop talking about Jewish Space Lazers.
Ironic, Israel does have a lazer weapon system.
Greene has officially broke from AIPAC and has called for the lobbying organization to be registered as a hostile foreign agent. AIPAC has been in Trump's ear.
Trump has hinted that he will find ways to get rid of her.
Her recent fallout with Fox, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Ben Shapiro and Catturd are prime examples.
Greene groping a cardboard cut out of Trump in 2020.
The Mosad is planning on releasing damaging things about Greene and her personal life. She had an open relationship with her ex-husband Perry Greene.
She allegedly cheated on him with bodybuilders and contractors who were investing in her gyms.
She is dating Real America's News reporter Brian Glenn. Their private life is about be exposed by Israelis and trust me, she is on Trump’s list of disloyal Republicans.
Where's Fox and the far right? This isn't Cincinnati. This is Pulaski, Wisconsin and a Black teen was roughed up by white punks.
What FBI Director Kash Patel does is none of my business. The incompetent official will not do his job as the FBI director.
There was an incident in Pulaski, Wisconsin. This incident is swept under the radar because it doesn't fit the narrative of Fox or Breitbart. If it was a white couple from Cincinnati caughting a hot plate, President Donald J. Trump will call the fucking National Guard.
A fight where a teenager was attacked by several others at a barn in the Town of Pulaski was not racially motivated, according to the Iowa County Sheriff's Office.
Yet, the teens were calling him that word with the hard R.
Instead, Sheriff Michael Peterson said the boy was confronted based on his previous behavior of attempting to steal a firearm, assaulting a female and making threats.
Peterson is an elected Republican sheriff for Iowa County.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime.
A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering.
The victim was identified as Keontae. He escaped and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 3/3https://t.co/e7jPtokKiQ

‼️HATE CRIME: Gang Of Violent Racist White Teens CAUGHT Attempting To LYNCH 14-Year-Old BLACK BOY By trying to FORCE Him Into A MEAT GRINDER While Yelling Racial Slurs Like "Beat That N-Word," "F That N-Word,"—At A Barn Party.
The Iowa County District Attorney confirms they are aware of the August 17th assault on a 14-year-old Un-Verified Freedmen minor in Pulaski, WI. They state no referral has yet been received from law enforcement, and charges will… https://t.co/FcqQ1rftkrpic.twitter.com/DrOVApWU0k
A video of the fight from Aug. 17 showed a group of boys attacking a 14-year-old African American from Platteville. The victim did not suffer any serious injuries from the altercation, but a spokesperson for his family told 27 News he was emotionally scarred from the incident.
A racial slur can be heard in the video, though it's not clear who said it.
In 27 News' reporting of the fight, we edited out the racial slurs and blurred the faces of everyone since they were minors and no one had been arrested.
After learning of the incident and receiving a copy of the video, WKOW forwarded the information to the Iowa County Sheriff's Office on Aug. 22 and inquired about the incident.
At that time, Sheriff Michael Peterson said it was an ongoing investigation and they could not comment just yet.
On August 25, Sheriff Peterson gave an update to 27 News, saying his office had responded to the barn the night of the fight, but it was for a reported structure fire. At that time, law enforcement found evidence of a large underage drinking party at the property. The sheriff's office said most of the minors had left before law enforcement's arrival.
Sheriff Peterson also acknowledged they received video of the incident from the media and were reviewing it as part of the investigation.
Lynne Parrott, the city of Platteville's Alderperson at large, spoke with 27 News about the video of the fight after the victim's mother sent it to her.
Parrott said the 14-year-old told his family that he was a target because the group mistook him for someone else. Parrott also expressed concerns about the use of racial slurs in the video.
The Iowa County Sheriff's Office released its findings on September 2. Sheriff Mike Peterson says the victim's story to police and his family directly corroborates the investigative findings that the incident was not racially motivated.
Sheriff Peterson says the victim spoke with police the night he was attacked and told them someone attempted to "jump" him, causing him to run from the area.
"According to the victim, the aggressors were targeting his friend, who was already at the party due to a prior 'beef.' The victim stated that he did not know the individuals involved and would not provide the name of his friend. He explained that his friends had driven him to the party but left before the incident. The victim confirmed he was not struck, no property was taken and he did not sustain injuries," a news release stated.
Sheriff Peterson said further investigation found the victim was the one being targeted for his past behavior, not someone else.
Peterson said the sheriff's office also responded to an underage drinking party south of Highland on July 27. Witnesses said the 14-year-old victim was part of a reported disturbance. When law enforcement arrived, the crowd left and did not talk with law enforcement.
The sheriff says the same 14-year-old was involved in another disturbance at an underage drinking party on Aug. 9, also south of Highland. At that party, the sheriff said the disturbance included an unreported battery to a female.
An African American male, who provided a written statement after WKOW's original story aired, said he witnessed the incident on August 17 and tried to break up the fight. He also said that he did not personally hear non-African Americans using racial slurs. He told law enforcement the confrontation happened because of the victim's past behavior.
After the department received the video, Peterson said several attempts have been made to reinterview the 14-year-old; however, his family has prevented those interviews from taking place.
Peterson said most suspects have been identified.
Regardless of the motivation behind the attack, Peterson said it doesn't excuse the actions shown in the video.
"Physical violence of this nature is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our community," the sheriff said in a statement. "This video is disturbing, and no one should ever have to go through what the victim experienced."
Peterson added, "From being pushed into a piece of farm harvesting equipment to enduring physical violence, such acts are not acceptable in our society."
No arrests in the case have been announced. Sheriff Peterson did tell 27 News arrests and charges could be forthcoming for any of the people involved in any of the reported incidents, but they still need to speak with the victim of the August 17 altercation again. They have reached out to his family and their attorney, but have not heard back yet. In the meantime, their investigation continues.
Iowa County District Attorney Zachary Leigh said his office has not received a referral for criminal charges in relation to this matter. If he does, he said he would review the evidence before making a formal decision about whether criminal charges would be filed.
The Iowa County Sheriff's Office is encouraging anyone with information to submit tips through the sheriff's office mobile app.
Imagine you have to be so much in love with Black people you have to make online videos to agitate a growing number of white extremists.
Why are we chasing clout?
A white man's "man on the street" interviews are a hit with future mass shooters.
Payton Gendron is one of those examples of white men who obsessed with Black people. He murdered them inside a Buffalo, New York Tops Grocery Store.
Dylann Roof is another example. He went into Mother Emmanuel AME Church, prayed with the parishioners, hugs a woman and then launches a murdering the people inside the church. The police offered him Burger King to prevent him from committing suicide.
A man who can't get laid decides to interview women randomly asking the uncomfortable questions about Black people. He wants to justify white superiority by making pseudo arguments about how sex, crime, drugs, loud music and violence are products of Black people.
He also runs on the banter of free speech. Let it be a random Black person who decides to reveal his home address, family members, school, place of business and associates who film. I bet he will be crying and blaming his actions on just being lonely.
The privilege of whiteness drives this person out to the streets. He is serious about the scapegoating.
Black people make up about 14% of the United States population but end up being blamed for 60% of the country's problems.
Instead of blaming the rich, the elite and the politicians who enable it, it always falls on the vulnerable. We cannot shake the notion that all the problems in the United States did not happen in a vacuum. It is a generation that never moved forward. A generation that still looks at entitlement over engagement.
A lack of self reflection.
President Donald J. Trump is the prime example of white privilege itself.
Imagine in AI, this white online troll being surrounded by Black men.
Yet, this guy who probably makes less than $80,000 resorts to running around Miami, Florida bothering people about the ills of America.
We should elect leaders who can stop gun violence, end financial support to Israel, stop private equity from destroying businesses, lower food, lower energy, lower consumer goods, lower rent, lower mortgages, stop demonizing the vulnerable, find cures for cancer, find cures for HIV, make healthy food affordable, stop privatizing social security, decriminalize prostitution, decriminalize marijuana, end tax breaks for billionaires, embrace immigrants, help the poor, get veterans the support, help the homeless and so much more.
The United States is on the decline thanks to white leaders like Trump, Joe Biden and George W. Bush. They are relics of the 20th Century running policies that are outdated to a growing 21st Century. Barack Obama and Kamala Harris will be historical only for their race, not policies.
We have a watered down healthcare law.
We have the 2017 tax cuts permanent.
We are witnessing a genocide live and direct.
We see the sloganing and gaslighting from Trump. The very same Republican Party claiming they are freedom and whatever, are stripping it away day by day.
The Republicans are actually protecting pedophiles. Jeffrey Epstein, the Israeli cyber security official Tom Alexandrovich and Trump are protected.
But yes, let's ask random people about why you're obsessed with Black people?
Tears of a clown. The Hold The Line, sniff sniff Nancy Mace.
The very same Republican lawmaker who embraces a sexual predator and demonizes the vulnerable had a panic attack yesterday. The alcohol and cocaine really has this woman on some things.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is running for governor. She is not retiring yet. However, she is running a campaign to replace South Carolina governor Henry McMaster who is hinting a run for the U.S. Senate.
Nancy Ruth Mace, 48 allegedly has a problem. A mental health problem, a drinking problem and a snorting problem. Again, this is speculation and its not confirmed.
Nonetheless, Mace along with Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) want us to have sympathy for them since they were victims of sexual abuse. Yet, they hug and get kisses from Donald J. Trump, Elon Musk and every Republican lobbyist who funds their campaigns. It is sickening for them to embrace sexual predators while demonizing victims of sexual abuse.
They block the Jeffrey Epstein list to protect Trump but pretend to cry when the victims actually tell their horrific stories.
President Donald J. Trump, former president Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, Les Wegner, Alan Dershowitz and others are allegedly on the client list.
Trump repeatedly denies this. He also is an adjudicated sexual predator after a ruling with publicist E. Jean Carroll.
Mace was seen running out of a “heartbreaking” Congressional hearing with six survivors of infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.
Mace’s eyes were flooded with tears as she left the hearing after she suffered what she called a “full blown panic attack.”
Mace has been candid about her past sexual assault ordeal. Earlier this year, she accused her former fiancé, tech entrepreneur Patrick Bryant, and three others of sexual assault during a lengthy House floor speech.
One of those men, Brian Musgrave, denied Mace’s accusations, and has even filed a defamation lawsuit against her, Politico reported.
Mace made claims that her ex husbands and ex fiance abused her.
In May, she shocked Congress when she shared a photo of her nude silhouette that she claimed was taken by Bryant without consent.
Bryant has also denied the allegations.
“I have never raped anyone,” he said in a statement to Politico at the time. “I have never hidden cameras. I have never harmed any woman. These accusations are not just false — they are malicious and deeply personal.”
Mace continues to act like she is victim every fucking time.
What pisses me off is the fact she wants to act like this while bitching at Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and women who were victims of genocide. Mace denies the fact that Israelis are raping women and children.
This theatrics by Mace should be a liability. She is adamant that Trump will endorse her over Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC).
She demonize transgender women who are victims of sexual abuse.
McBride, the first transwoman in Congress is constantly demonized by Mace.
Mace has misgendered or dead named McBride to make viral clips.
When I was 16 years old, I got my ears pierced at Claire's. I no longer have my ears pierced but eventually I might get them repierced.
Anyways, the biggest threat to our economy is capitalism, private equity firms, billionaires, tariffs, President Donald J. Trump and Congress.
Claire's warns that they are on brink of collapse. They filed for bankruptcy in August and warns that if a buyer isn't interested, they will close all their stores.
Claire's are inside malls and Walmart Superstores.
Claire's, a mall boutique chain favored by tweens, teens and young women, is set to close more than 290 stores as part of its bankruptcy process.
Claire's Holdings LLC, which announced on Aug. 20 it had sold its North American business to private equity firm Ames Watson for $104 million, listed more than 290 stores it planned to close in a court filing on Monday, Aug. 25.
Stores to be closed include 235 Claire's locations in the U.S. and 56 Icing stores. The filing also listed 830 stores – 785 Claire's locations and 45 Icing locations – not expected to close immediately.
The move comes after the company, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, noted in a subsequent court filing days later it would likely need to close more than 1,100 stores if it didn't find a buyer.
Claire's new owner wants to keep 'significant retail footprint'
Store closing sales could continue at the locations set to close, while closing sales at some other locations were discontinued, according to the filing. Dates of expected store closings were not disclosed, but they are expected to happen on a rolling basis, the company confirmed to USA TODAY.
At the time of the sale, Ames Watson, which has offices in New York City and Columbia, Maryland, said it planned to preserve the retail chain in a downsized form.
"Claire's has built a powerful emotional connection with generations of consumers through its focus on self-expression, creativity, and accessible fashion," said Ames Watson co-founder Lawrence Berger in a statement. "We are committed to investing in its future by preserving a significant retail footprint across North America, working closely with the Claire's team to ensure a seamless transition and creating a renewed path to growth based on our deep experience working with consumer brands."
Among the 291 stores closing, these states have the most: California (25), New York (18) and Illinois and Pennsylvania (16 each).
Claire's second bankruptcy filed amid tariff, inflation and competitive challenges
The company, which is based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, near Chicago, has continued to struggle since filing for bankruptcy in March 2018.
Backed by hedge funds Elliott Management and Monarch Alternative Capital, Claire's continued to operate with more than 2,300 retail locations across 17 countries in North America and Europe, including traditional Claire’s stores, 210 Claire's locations embedded in Walmart stores, and 120 stores that operate under the Icing brand owned by Claire's. The company also operates 9,000 concessions kiosks within malls.
Challenges have included the rise of ultra-popular online fast fashion sites Shein and Temu, which cut into the jewelry store chain's sales, rising interest rates, inflation and tariffs on goods from China.
If I worked in a business and a celebrity comes in, here's what I would do:
Treat them just like everyone else.
Make sure their privacy is respected.
Never harass them for pictures or autographs unless they are doing it willingly.
Never take pictures of them or their children without permission.
Never sabotage food, drinks or electronics.
Mind my business and keep it moving.
Never discuss it during work hours.
Even a celebrity must have a moment of privacy. When Cardi B went to a doctor to confirm a pregnancy, a security officer took a picture of her. Now Cardi is a person who doesn't mind having her picture taken. But when it comes to her children and her personal health, Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar is not going to make that a picture worth a thousand bucks.
In the case of presidents, vice presidents and lawmakers, there is a
The security officer was fired for that. The former officer claimed that Cardi was aggressive towards her. She said that she suffered a minor injury and emotional distress. She sued the entertainer for $25 million.
The civil trial that sparked a flurry of viral moments that captivated internet audiences, a jury Tuesday cleared rapper Cardi B of any legal liability after she was accused of assaulting a security guard in 2018.
The jury in Los Angeles found that the security guard did not prove the elements of assault, negligence or emotional distress. Cardi B, wearing a black outfit with white dots and a red bow, made a sign of the cross after the jury read its conclusions.
"I'm not even playing around. Even if I'm at my death bed, I swear to God, I will say it at my death bed — I did not touch that woman," Cardi told reporters outside court after the verdict was read.
Cardi B was sued by a former security guard who worked at a Beverly Hills building in 2018 when she was pregnant with her first child. The guard, Emani Ellis, alleged that Cardi spat on her and scratched her nose with a fingernail during a verbal altercation.
Cardi, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper, has denied the allegations. During her testimony last week, she alleged that Ellis followed her to the floor of her obstetrician's office and seemed to be recording her.
Cardi being herself.
They got into a heated confrontation, both women testified.
Cardi testified that she felt concerned as she was pregnant and the woman, whom she described as "security heavy," was bigger than her. Though she admitted to using some profane language, Cardi denied ever laying hands on Ellis.
"She couldn’t get a scratch from me because I didn’t touch her,” she said.
Ellis told the court that the incident traumatized her and that she required a cosmetic procedure because of the scarring from the alleged assault. She also lost her job over the incident, Ellis said.
Dr. David Finke, whom Cardi was going to see that day, testified that it was he who reported Ellis to their practice administrator over the incident. He told the court that he was in his office when he heard yelling.
When he came out, Finke said, he saw his receptionist standing between Ellis and Cardi before he intervened. He addressed Ellis as he tried to de-escalate the situation, Finke told the court, by telling her to "stop" and "do your job."
He never saw Cardi assault Ellis, Finke testified. His receptionist, Tierra Malcolm, also told the court that she did not see a physical fight between the women.
No one else was in the doctor's office that day because it had closed the office early that Saturday afternoon for Cardi's privacy, according to court testimony.
Cardi’s attorney, Peter Anderson, told jurors in closing arguments that Ellis failed to prove her case under the law.
“Arguing, yelling, even using profanity is not something you can sue over,” he said. “That’s just part of normal life.”
The former security officer should have not taken that picture. She lost her job and is on the hook for Cardi B's legal fees.
The jury deliberated for less than an hour Tuesday.
Among the spectacles that captured interest online was Cardi's hair, which she explained in court were wigs. She even seemed to confuse an attorney in the courtroom after she swapped a short black wig for a long blond one.
"I’m telling you guys, when I say that my forehead is raw from changing all these wigs — raw. Raw, raw, raw,” Cardi told reporters outside court after the verdict.
Ellis said that despite the outcome, she was not disappointed and does not regret bringing the case.
"I don’t think that it reflects the truth, but I’m not disappointed," she told reporters after the verdict. "We know that the justice system is sometimes flawed, and unfortunately that was the case for me."
"More importantly, it's about accountability," Ellis said. "I had my day in court, I showed up, I held my head high."
The longtime Democrat knew the two things happening.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is retiring. He had a primary challenger who is well equipped to defeat him.
The support for Israel and most of the lawmakers are old are prime examples of the Democratic Party struggles to win over voters.
Nadler was on the list of primary targets. The progressives are mounting a "Tea Party" style of primary. The base is sick and tired of big donors, AIPAC, ineffective leadership and endless gaslighting.
The so called big tent party is struggling to register voters and donations.
After the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris presidential campaigns, the Democratic National Committee has struggled to bring in the revenue. They continue to ignore the base by voting against resolutions that call for an arms embargo on Israel.
Some New York U.S. House Democrats are not getting behind New York mayoral nominee, state representative Zohran Mamdani. He is challenging former Democrat turned independent incumbent Eric Adams and fending off spoiler candidate, independent Andrew Cuomo.
The most notable are the House and Senate Minority Leaders. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are literally depressing the Democrats.
Omar Fateh was stripped of his Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party endorsement as he is mounting a challenge against Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.
Nadler who serves House Judiciary Committee as head and now co member. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a younger more progrssive member was beaten out of the role.
Nadler represents a significant swath of the borough of Manhattan and had served as the chair and ranking member of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, which put him at the center of three presidential impeachments.
In revealing his plans to The New York Times, Nadler admitted that his party and the country were in the midst of a generational change, and it was time for him to accept that reality.
He discussed what happened to former President Joe Biden, who gave in to calls from his party to step aside in the last election after a disastrous debate performance raised questions about his mental acuity.
“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler told the Times.
Despite his seniority, Nadler was bound to face a robust primary challenge from a potentially wide field of younger and more progressive challengers.
Nadler’s sway in Washington was already waning. He was removed from his perch as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee at the start of this Congress, a sign that the party was pushing for younger leadership.
The Nadler seat is one of the bluest in the country, so it will likely remain in Democratic hands in the 2026 midterm elections.
NBC has reached out to the Nadler campaign for comment.
Democrats need to do these five things.
Abandon Israel. I know it may cost some of the Jewish support but in order to win back Arab Americans, Muslims, young voters and progressives, you will have to sacrifice the status quo. We don't need to back an apartheid ethnostate engaged in a genocide and illegal globalization. We are in the stages of World War III. Israel, Russia and the United States are viewed extremely unfavorable.
Stop gaslighting. Ohio voters see the results of Republican governance. The state is on track to lose population which means another lost of a congressional seat. That’s why these Republican morons in Columbus are rushing to redistrict congressional maps to keep their asses in power. Ohio Democrats are weak. The Democratic U.S. House and Senate members are weak and ineffective. Just imagine the theatrics of the Texas Democrats. All that fight and Texas Republicans still managed to win. Even with folks like Jasmine Crockett or Gavin Newsom strongly trolling Republicans, they are proven ineffective as well. Democrats need to fight dirty and unethical. Republicans have broken all forms of decor and civility. Why continue to be nice? No more being the grown ups. Act like the far right claims the Democrats are. Start proving that you are not afraid to be labeled. Republicans are proud to be fascists. Democrats need to prove they're not.
Quit being moderate. As the Republicans are slowing moving towards fascism, the Democrats are moving towards conservatism. Progressive voters are abandoned which led to them joining other parties or becoming independent. This "Vote Blue No Matter Who" gave us Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and John Fetterman. They were the leading Democratic opposition in Biden's term. Sherrod Brown will pander to this core base of voters. Moderates are not looking for fights. They want compromise. I think Democrats and progressive voters are tired of watered down laws and making nice to Republicans.
Let Trump destroy himself. The more we complain about his policies and his actions, the more we lose sight of the agenda to move forward. Democrats need to not keep reminding voters that the economy sucks. It sucked under Biden too. Republicans continue to resort to culture wars to generate votes. Whether its transgender rights or a Cracker Barrel logo, Republicans want folks distracted from the fact that gas is nearly $4 a gallon, paychecks are not able to pay for a decent life, people are getting desperate and vacations are becoming a thing of the past. Democrats should let Republicans tear everything down. Cause the Republicans are showing the public they are the big government nannies and all in the business of the American people.
No more old candidates. Sherrod Brown, Robin Kelly, John Hickenlooper, Mark Warner, Jeff Merkley and Jack Reed are over 70 years old. It is not looking good when the candidates running are likely to pass away at any time. Democrats need to recruit candidates that are born between 1969 and 1999. This could prove to be a game changer if the Democrats show they're the party that wants to win back younger voters. I mean it would be nice to have candidates that aren't AARP card holders. If the Democrats need to win, start listening to young people and stop believing that old Black voter are the base. Take for example, Ohio. I owe Nina Turner an apology. AIPAC backed Shontel Brown which was key to her victory. So far, Brown has been proven slightly ineffective in her district. Her willingness to stand with Israel and not fix the problems in her district makes Democrats less inspired to vote. Shontel Brown (not related to Sherrod Brown), Marcy Kaptur, Joyce Beatty, Greg Landsman and Emilia Sykes are ineffective. They take money from AIPAC and show no fight towards Republicans. Landsman only fights the Democrats who oppose his stance on Israel. Kaptur, Landsman and Sykes are at risk of losing their seats with the Republican plan to redistrict congressional maps despite the Ohio voters demanding a fair map. The voters rejected an independent comission map. If we can win back voters, pick young candidates.
The supporters of 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 and invading other countries.
Progessive influncers are practically on these platforms saying that they ain't helping the former Biden/Harris voters who voted for as Trump. They are exposed as paid operatives to force the party to tow the line despite frustrations.
That's perfectly fine.
It makes them more independent and it declines support for Democratic candidates.
MAGAland going crazy and protests are growing.
As I explained, I voted for Harris for president. I told family members that Israel will be a major factor. Trump's near assassination was a big factor. His mugshot too.
Democrats waste too much time scaring voters. I get it. Trump is an essential threat to the country.
It's that type of noise that keeps Democrats in the minority.
Americans who backed Trump are seeing reality. He has already overplayed his hand.
Federal workers are being laid off or being forced to be in office. The ineptness of the federal government is on full display as Americans are finding out that services are disrupted.
Transgender Americans are being banned from everyday life. They are being blamed for the actions of that mass shooter in Minneapolis.
The U.S. is pulling out of the Paris Climate Accords, UN Human Rights, UNRWA and the World Health Organization. It puts us at risk for global pandemics, catastrophic weather events and potential boycotts of American products.
The economy is still struggling despite Trump’s boasting.
Israel is still conducting its genocide. They are committing war crimes in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Iran. They are illegally seizing land in Lebanon, Syria and Cyprus.
Immigrants are being deported in a inhumane way.
Project 2025 and Greater Israel are very unpopular.
And the Kamala Harris supporters are trying to guilt trip people who didn't support her bid. I supported her bid and wished she won. Unfortunately, the stars weren't aligned. I was disappointed. I almost gave up.
But I started to realize that I want Trump and Israel to fail. And fail they shall.
For the next four years, we gonna see the Trump machine breakdown again.
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.
KatelynnStrate 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 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.
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.
