The U.S. and Great Britain remain loyal allies. However, their reign of power is coming to a slow and painful collapse.
Old news.
President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump greet King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The last time the two met was in 2019 when Queen Elizabeth II was alive and Charles was prince.
As the economy is on the verge of collapse, a civil war is coming and a world war is eminent, the United States has single handedly destroyed its image around the world.
The support of Israel, the censorship of critics, gun violence and Republican instigated culture wars have Americans wondering..... did we make a mistake bringing Trump back?
Cause Trump isn't leaving nor is Republican lawmakers who vow to "own the libs" and "never Trumpers."
We have too much chaos and this is his first year into his second term.
Trump relished the glow of a British royal spectacle as he opened a two-day state visit Wednesday, calling the hours of pageantry with King Charles III “one of the highest honors of my life” while also making time for a quiet tribute at Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb.
The grandeur-loving president soaked up all the revelry, from the largest guard of honor in living memory — with 120 horses and 1,300 troops — to carriage rides, an air show and a Windsor Castle state dinner.
After the pomp comes the real work Thursday, when Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer meet to talk trade, technology and geopolitical issues.
No U.S. president, or any other world leader, has had the honor of a second U.K. state visit; Trump’s first was in 2019, during his previous term. The display of regal splendor was meant to bolster ties with Trump at a time when his America First policies are putting pressure on trade and security arrangements around the globe.
“This was the second state visit, and that’s the first, and maybe that’s going to be the last time, I hope it is actually,” Trump joked during the evening banquet.
The visit began with Prince William and his wife, Kate, meeting the presidential helicopter in the private Walled Garden on the vast Windsor estate, then walking Trump and first lady Melania Trump over to be greeted by Charles and Queen Camilla. A gigantic royal standard, the flag used for official celebration days, flew from the Royal Tower.
The guests traveled to the castle in a procession of horse-drawn carriages, past ranks of soldiers, sailors and aviators. The king and the Republican president chatted in the Irish State Coach during the short journey to the castle quadrangle, where both inspected an honor guard of soldiers in red tunics and bearskin hats.
They continued to chat and joke as the day progressed, with the king occasionally putting his hand on Trump’s back. The president stepped in front of Charles during a review of troops after the king gestured for him to do so. The king’s invitation avoided a violation of protocol, which was not the case in 2019, when Trump stepped in front of Queen Elizabeth.
Part of the day was spent at St. George’s Chapel on the castle grounds, where Trump placed a wreath in honor of Elizabeth, who died in 2022.
A full day of pomp and circumstance
The president and Charles toured the Royal Collection Display in an ornate room where officials laid out five tables of artifacts on U.S.-British relations.
Among the items were 18th-century watercolors and documents on the United States seeking independence from King George III. There were materials from the first trans-Atlantic cable, including messages between Queen Victoria and President James Buchanan, as well as a 1930s hot dog picnic that a young Elizabeth wrote about, and a large glass vessel that President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave the queen during a 1957 state visit.
A scheduled flyover by F-35 jets from the U.K. and U.S. militaries was scrapped because of poor weather conditions. But the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force’s aerobatics display team, thundered overhead, leaving streaks of red, white and blue smoke in their wake.
Charles and Camilla presented the president and first lady with a handbound leather volume celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, as well as the Union flag that flew above Buckingham Palace on the day of Trump’s inauguration in January. The royals also gave first lady Melania Trump a silver and enamel bowl and a personalized handbag by British designer Anya Hindmarch.
Trump gave Charles a replica of an Eisenhower sword, and Camilla received a vintage Tiffany & Co. gold, diamond and ruby brooch.
Serious talks coming
The history, tradition and celebrity of the royal family give it a cachet that means presidents and prime ministers covet joining them. In his talks with Trump, Starmer will promote a new U.K.-U.S. technology agreement. The British government hopes the deal, and billions in investment from U.S. tech companies, will help show that the trans-Atlantic bond remains strong despite differences over Ukraine, the Middle East and the future of NATO.
Ahead of the banquet, Trump and Charles walked together, leading a procession. Trump wore white tie, while his wife was in a yellow gown. Charles was in white tie with a blue sash, and Camilla in a blue gown with a tiara.
Beefeaters in traditional red uniforms and ruff collars lined the entrance to the castle’s St. George’s Hall for the dinner, which featured 100 staff members attending to 160 guests. The grand Waterloo table was set with 1,462 pieces of silver sparkling in the light from 139 candles and elaborate floral arrangements handpicked from the castle grounds.
The guests included Apple’s Tim Cook, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Open AI’s Sam Altman and golfer Nick Faldo. Also appearing was publishing mogul Rupert Murdoch, whom Trump recently sued for $10 billion over The Wall Street Journal’s report on a sexually suggestive letter purportedly written by Trump for disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The menu featured Hampshire watercress panna cotta with Parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad, along with Norfolk chicken ballotine. Dessert was vanilla ice cream bombe with a raspberry sherbet interior and lightly poached Victorian plums.
Trump avoids alcohol, but the bar offerings included a cocktail known as a trans-Atlantic whiskey sour infused with marmalade, Warre’s 1945 Vintage Port — Trump is the 45th and 47th American president — and Hennessy 1912 cognac Grande Champagne. That was the year Trump’s mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born in Scotland.
The musical playlist included the theme from the James Bond movies and pop and rock staples, as well as top show tunes, often featured at Trump’s campaign rallies.
In his toast, Charles saluted Trump’s British roots and his recent visits to the U.K. In a nod to the president’s favorite sport, he said, “I understand that British soil makes for rather splendid golf courses.”
Trump mostly stuck to his prepared remarks and was on his best behavior, declaring, “This is truly one of the highest honors of my life” and sneaking in only one dig about his predecessor, Democratic President Joe Biden, by saying the U.S. was “sick” a year ago. He also touched on Britain’s contributions to literature, history and the arts and said “special” does not begin to do justice to his country’s relationship with the U.K.
“Together we’ve done more good for humanity than any two countries in all of history,” Trump said.
Trump being in Windsor doesn’t stop protests
Thousands of demonstrators marched through central London on Wednesday to protest Trump’s visit. Some held banners that said “No to the racism, no to Trump.” Though the activities were smaller than during Trump’s visit in June 2019, they included mini versions of the giant Trump baby blimp, an orange-tinted caricature of the president in a diaper that made a big impression during those demonstrations six years ago.
In Windsor, protesters projected an image of Trump and Epstein on a tower at the castle, a reminder of the president’s relationship with the late American financier. Police said they arrested four people.
Antifa is a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement in the United States. It consists of a highly decentralized array of autonomous groups that use nonviolent direct action, or violence to achieve their aims.
Antifa political activism includes non-violent methods such as poster and flyer campaigns, mutual aid, speeches, protest marches, and community organizing.
Some who identify as antifa also use tactics involving digital activism, doxing, harassment, physical violence, and property damage. Supporters of the movement aim to combat far-right extremists, including neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
Terrorists is a what white people name the oppressed to the status quo. Terrorism is a politically violent event to force objectives. It is an event to strike fear to the public.
Often white people label people of color terrorists.
President Donald J. Trump said he would seek to designate antifa as a "major terrorist organization," saying that the far-left-wing group was "sick" and "dangerous."
The president in a social media post said he would also "strongly recommend" that whoever funds the actions of antifa groups should be investigated.
"I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION," Trump said.
He added, "I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
It was not immediately clear how such a designation would be made for antifa, which is an umbrella description for far-left-leaning militant groups opposing fascists and neo-Nazis. Antifa does not have a publicly known centralized structure or leadership. The U.S. does not maintain a public list of domestic terrorist groups, although the State Department does maintain a list of Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
Nor was it immediately clear how federal law enforcement authorities might make use of such a designation.
The Congressional Research Service, which collects and analyzes policy details for Congress, said in a 2023 report that while federal law enforcement plays a "significant role" in combating domestic terrorism, there exists a grey area between combating potential violence associated with domestic terrorism and publicly identifying those with extreme beliefs.
Holding extreme beliefs is not, in itself, criminal in the United States, since those beliefs are protected under the First Amendment, the report said.
"Further, the U.S. government does not provide a precise, comprehensive, and public explanation of any particular groups it might consider to be domestic terrorist organizations," that report said. "Listing groups in this way may infringe on First Amendment-protected free speech—or the act of belonging to an ideological group, which in and of itself is not a crime in the United States."
Trump's comments on social media on Wednesday followed others he and members of his administration have made about antifa and left-leaning groups in the wake of the fatal shooting of white nationalist Charlie Kirk.
Trump on Monday said during an Oval Office event that he thinks Tyler Robinson, 22, the suspect charged in Kirk's killing, may have been "radicalized" toward the "left" in a short period of time through his use of the internet.
"That's my opinion, I think he was radicalized online based on what they're saying," Trump said.
"That's just by watching the same things that you're watching and hearing it looks like he became radicalized over the internet," Trump said, then suggesting that his parents, who are allegedly Republican-aligned, were "wonderful."
"Looks like he was radicalized over the internet, and it's radicalized on the left, he's a left. A lot of problems with the left, and they get protected, and they shouldn't be protected," Trump added.
He later added on Monday that he would "100%" consider designating antifa as a domestic terror organization.
It was not clear whether Robinson was influenced by or affiliated with antifa.
Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller on Monday said the White House would be targeting nongovernmental organizations that they said were fomenting violence.
"What you're referring to is there are these nonprofit entities that organize, as the president mentioned, attacks on ICE officers, attacks on Border Patrol agents, organized doxing campaigns, which are a violation of federal law," Miller said.
He added, "So there's this whole network of organizations. And I think the key point the president's been making is somebody is paying for all of this. This is not happening for free. And so under the president's direction, the attorney general is going to find out who is paying for it, and they will not be criminally liable for paying for violence."
You don't scare me. Your freedom of speech won't stop mine.
Hold the line.
Sniff, sniff....
So like high school.
Congress has a job approval of 23%.
President Donald J. Trump has a job approval of 42% and after this month is will be in the 30s.
Vice President JD Vance fairs better with 43%.
Either way, the country is definitely on the wrong track. The president is flooding the zone with controversies everywhere we go. So while he is in Great Britain trying to embarrass us again with his first meeting with Charles, the new unpopular heir to the crown, Americans are starting to get angrier by the day.
Trump met Charles when he was a prince. After 54 years, he finally became the King and he is very unpopular as a royal.
Both represent white supremacy. Charles for not defending Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. His extravagant spending while British are struggling. His support for fucking Israel. With his mum Elizabeth II gone, now many countries under the crown are seeing a future without British assistance.
Trump is a sexual predator and convicted felon. He is a twice impeached president. He is a habitual liar. The president is a billionaire. He is showing signs of cognitive decline. He is being dog walked by Russia and Israel. He is being shunned by China. The perfect opportunity to unite the country in the wake of white nationalist Charlie Kirk's killing at the hands of a white man with easy access to firearms became the latest distraction to stifle freedoms. Instead of working on solving gun violence, Republicans are trying to instigate more violence with retaliation and instigating conflict. They want to punish critics not the gun manufacturers.
Jimmy Kimmel has his show pulled during the season premiere week and it has outraged folks.
Nancy Mace actually posted an image of herself. Notice something about her.
Kimmel’s mild criticism of Republicans has forced ABC and conglomerate Nexstar to pull out of fear of FCC chair Brandon Carr's threatening to pull licenses.
Members of Congress are working behind the scenes to draft legislation to punish criticism of the president and his acoylites. They are also using racial troupes against members who refuse to bend the knee.
All of this noise from the right has now made it possible for potential retaliation from those who were affected by losing their jobs.
We cannot blame gun violence. It deflates the right's argument about violence coming from the "left."
Make it make sense. The left is coming for your guns. The left is also violent.
The left are a bunch of hippies. The left is the most violent.
It can't be both.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Congress, capitalism and Israel are the most unpopular things in the United States.
Examples of democratic backsliding include:
Free and fair elections are degraded;
Liberal rights of freedom of speech, press and association decline, impairing the ability of the political opposition to challenge the government, hold it to account, and propose alternatives to the current regime;
The rule of law (i.e., judicial and bureaucratic restraints on the government) is weakened, such as when the independence of the judiciary is threatened, or when civil service tenure protections are weakened or eliminated.
An over-emphasis on national security as response to acts of terrorism or perceived antagonists.
For the two political parties that claims to be about freedom, we are sure as hell loosing it by the day. The Democratic Party is moving towards conservatism while the Republican Party is moving towards fascism. Regardless of the political affiliation, both parties are quietly rolling back long established norms to a functioning democracy.
The continuation of policies that keep billionaires richer, Israel committing international chaos, interfering with the working class and poor will signal a potential for the two things:
World War III.
A civil war in the United States.
Things that keep conservatives up at night.
People mocking President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, Second Lady Usha Vance, the late Charlie Kirk, his wife Erika, their family members, ICE and notable conservative agitators.

People, please do not resort to the levels of those who profit off the anger. The anger of right wing Americans in the wake of white nationalist Charlie Kirk's death has sparked a censorship and harassment campaign.
The right wing ain't got the smoke for the shooter, his family and the Utah state government allowing open carry on school campuses. They ain't got the smoke for the people who advocate violence against people perceived as threats to society.
They want to go after the vulnerable. Typical of these folks.
Randy Fine has a lot of vices. It ain't just food.
All the while, the rich are getting richer. Israel is still committing a genocide and war crimes from every angle. Russia is pushing further in Ukraine with Lithuania and Poland next on the country's agenda. China is becoming the superpower as they are moving on from exporting goods to the United States for other nations.
China is working on solving problems the United States failed at doing.
Food prices are increasing.
General merchandise prices are increasing.
The cost of living is increasing.
Inflation has risen this month.
Unemployment is increasing.
Gasoline prices are increasing.
Wages are stagnant.
Jobs are not satisfying.
Where does the outrage go to?
Random people who don't agree with these folks politics.
What Golden Age?
The whole getting people fired for mocking the tragic attack shows how the Republicans are willing to sabotage the country. That means more people out of work which leads to more economic uncertainty. More folks will resort to lawsuits against the instigators, violence towards the instigators, violence towards their employers, violence towards the workers who got them fired and violence towards the agitators who called for their firing.
When a person's death in a high profile incident like a shooting is lionized in the junk food media, the sides get to blaming.
The shooter was a white man. It wasn't a Black man, a Muslim, an immigrant or a transgender person. Why you got to lump them in this white on white violence?
These agitators calling for violence, revenge, firings, deportations and public shaming are well within their right to do so. But don't get upset when the tables turn. Or when the next shooting involves them.
These agitators on the far right are not going to risk their lives or freedom. They are counting on the mentally disturbed and emotionally unstable to do their work.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), one of four members who is a Muslim. She is a progressive lawmaker who is a Somali-American. She is a staunch critic of Israel and Zionism. Many of the Republicans have attacked her for opposition of the apartheid ethnostate and its genocide.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is running for governor of South Carolina. She was once a rational conservative who had once won praise for holding Trump accountable.
The threats from the far right has made her shift further to the right. Now the once opening Mace is now a total bitch. Her antics has many questioning whether she is on something.
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.
Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) is a freshman lawmaker who has an infamous name in Florida politics. He is a morbidly obese person. He is a white nationalist. He is a Jewish supremacist who wants critics of Israel either deported or jailed. Fine has cheered for the starvation of Gazans, the removal of West Bank civilians, the attacks on Iran, attacks on Qatar, attacks on Lebanon, attacks on Syria, attacks on Yemen and the support of building a greater Israel. Fine has taken more trips to Israel instead of his own district. He cares less about Florida and Republicans still support his antics. He is openly feuding with Omar, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-CA) and even insufferable Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Mace and Fine had tried to censure Omar yesterday. It failed because four Republicans felt that it was a fucking waste of time to go after Omar for perceived antagonizing remarks.
Four House Republicans joined Democrats to tank Mace’s effort to censure and remove Omar from committee assignments over comments she made following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The final tally was 214-213 with two Republicans and three Democrats not voting. The GOP defections were Reps. Mike Flood of Nebraska, Jeff Hurd of Colorado, Tom McClintock of California and Cory Mills of Florida.
With the defeat of the Omar censure resolution, Democrats will now drop their effort to censure Mills over several accusations that he has denied.
Mace claimed in a statement that "Ilhan Omar has shown us exactly who she is: someone who defends political violence and refuses to condemn the loss of innocent lives when it doesn't suit her agenda, even the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk."
Corey Mills has a lot of baggage. Besides the adultery and alcoholism, Mills is a PTSD which means volatile temperment.
During an interview on a Zeteo town hall with Mehdi Hasan the day after the assassination of the white nationalist, Omar commented that Kirk's killing was "really mortifying," adding, "You know, all I could think about was his wife, his children, that image is going to live forever."
Omar, however, mentioned Kirk’s previous takes that she disagreed with, stating, “Yeah, there is nothing more effed up, you know, like then, then to completely pretend that you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for for the last decade or so.”
Omar hit back at Mace on X, posting that the South Carolina representative is trying to censure her over comments she never said to benefit her own political ambitions.
"Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said," Omar wrote on X, adding, "Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn't find any."
"Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology. This is all an attempt to push a false story so she can fundraise and boost her run for Governor," Omar concluded.
Political violence is absolutely unacceptable and indefensible. Unconscionable acts of violence should have no place in our country. Let’s pray for no more lives being lost to gun violence. https://t.co/0SBr1qyu9d
Tonight, 210 Democrats and 4 Republicans sold out and chose to protect Ilhan Omar, a woman who mocked the cold-blooded assassination of an innocent American husband and father, who has openly supported ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, and who has repeatedly incited political…
Radical Islamic groups like CAIR are rushing to Ilhan Omar’s defense and demanding members of Congress oppose my motion to have her censured and removed from her committees.
Every single Republican on the floor tonight needs to reject radical Islam and the incitement of violence…
This is the video Ilhan Omar reposted in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, calling a 31-year-old husband and father a “reprehensible human being” and a “stochastic terrorist.”
Don’t try to gaslight your way out of it now, Ilhan. You celebrated his murder and now you’re… pic.twitter.com/KsTISR9H42
While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don’t wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion.
Four Republicans didn’t join Democrats to protect me, they joined to defend the first amendment and sanity. No one should be going after them. This country stands for freedom and right now what people are doing is totally unacceptable.
Yes it’s me and I don’t know what I am actually being accused of? Our country has a freedom of association, are you against that? https://t.co/XnwMNWKRig
Literally none of this is true and this woman needs to get help. We have to stop allowing members who are experiencing mental breakdown to continue to work without getting them the help they need. This is an emergency, let’s help her before she hurts herself or one of us. https://t.co/4DDeIm8QyU
I know you aren’t well or smart but I hope someone can explain to you that there isn’t a correlation between my committee assignments and deportation. Regardless of what you do with these committees, my office will continue to be next to you and I will continue to be in Congress… https://t.co/3ETIJ1rwfS
Censuring Omar would have stripped her of all committee assignments, removing her from the Committee on Education and Workforce, and the Committee on the Budget.
The Minnesota representative was previously removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in February 2023 after she was accused of making antisemitic comments that she later apologized for. The antisemitism card is now maxed out because of Israel's genocide and crimes against humanity.
Omar said "all about the Benjamins" in 2019 in regards to most members of Congress accepting blood money from AIPAC. The lobbying group pushed for this and several Democratic lawmakers voted to censure her. However, then House Speaker Kevin McCarthy stripped her of her committee assignments four years later. It was during the Israeli invasion of the West Bank months before the Oct. 7 retaliation.
After Mace announced her resolution, Texas Progressive Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) gave notice of intent to offer a separate privileged resolution to censure Florida GOP Rep. Cory Mills over accusations that he assaulted his girlfriend at his Washington, D.C., apartment, threatened an ex-girlfriend, misrepresented events around the Bronze Star he was awarded in the Army, made false financial disclosures, and campaign finance violations.
In a response previously reported by ABC News, Mills said the assault allegations were “false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions.”
Mills is still considering challenging Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) as she runs to complete the term of former senator Marco Rubio, the inept U.S. Secretary of State.
Mills has denied the other allegations and said that the assault charge has been dropped by D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department.
“I would like to thank the Metro Police Department for their diligent investigation into false and misleading accusations made against me by the media, ensuring that both truth and justice prevailed,” Mills said in a statement to The Hill.
ABC News has reached out to the MPD for confirmation but has not gotten a response.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has not weighed in on either resolution. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said before the vote on Wednesday that Mace's rhetoric has made Omar a target.
"Nancy Mace is a complete and total disgrace. Her racist, unhinged and xenophobic comments about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar are beneath the dignity of the Congress. Is this what civility looks like in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives?" Jeffries said in a statement. "We live in an era of intense political violence as we have seen with the recent assassinations of [Minnesota] Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Nancy Mace’s crazed rhetoric has put a target on the back of Rep. Omar. Mace must cease and desist her inciteful behavior immediately."
A censure of a lawmaker is a formal reprimand of their actions, statements or combination of the two. It requires a simple majority for passage.
Mace and Fine are saying Omar should be deported. For what?
Fine made racist and Islamophobic remarks about Omar, referencing her Muslim faith and calling her a "terrorist".
Mace responded, again saying she'd "love to see you deported back to Somalia next."
Omar fired back, "Would love to see you get the help you need next. You belong in rehab, not Congress."
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 often 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.
Some of the right and left are starting to notice something is wrong with her, mentally and physically.
While she isn't on social media bitching about transgender Americans, pro Palestinian protesters and Democratic lawmakers, Mace is quietly trying to work on her public image. She is dubbed a toxic boss by former staffers.
Her former friends and romantic interests believe she exgerates her life story.
Mace is quietly getting plastic surgery to alter her face as it is naturally aging.
She is starting to look like the transwomen she is demonizing on social media or in public.
The real issue is gun violence. Not comedians. Not activists. Not Black men. Not immigrants. Not Muslims. Not transgender Americans. Not the left.
The United States is the most violent country in the world. Israel and Russia follow behind respectfully. Israel, Russia and the United States are the most hated countries in the world.
The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.
What is wrong with our white men and boys?
The mass shootings have exceeded the amount of days of a calendar year.
The real problem is white men with firearms. They have committed about 80% of the mass shootings in the United States.
Another damn police shooting in the United States. Okay, will flags be lowered for the victims of gun and police violence?
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:
Black
Muslim
Immigrant
Arab
A member of the LGBTQ community
A disgruntled employee
A former student
A current student
A so called leftist
A white man who has conservative views
A person with easy access to firearm
The person with easy access to firearms should be the only answer. Alas, the far right is hoping for this to be a person they can scapegoat as their next de jour of outrage.
There were 365 mass shootings. In bold means more than one.

Police officers killed so far: 65 killed.
Let's go down the list of many deadly encounters for police and first responders.
1. Routine traffic stop.
2. Answering a domestic violence or a mentally ill call.
3. Animal (cat, dog, coyote, bear or rabid animal attack).
4. Water rescue (ice, high water or flash flooding).
5. Mass shooting.
6. Friendly fire.
7. Traffic control.
8. High speed pursuits.
9. Exposure to biohazards/pathogens (HIV, STDs, food, blood, vomit or COVID-19).
10. Swatting (including making false statements, hostage negotiations and criminal damaging).
11. Weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires and blizzards).
12. Stress (suicide, domestic issues at home, alcohol abuse, corruption, racism or harassment).
Domestic violence calls are extremely dangerous for police. They don't know what they're walking into. Usually, the aggressor may be armed or mentally ill and the police have to risk their lives to save others.
School shootings so far: 105 school shootings.
Only in America, how many more mass shootings must we deal with before we finally curb gun violence?
The incompetent and insufferable Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) would support jailing critics who refuse to honor a white nationalist. He rather not solve the housing crisis, gun violence epidemic and the economic turmoils his constituents face.
But once again, does prayers stop bullets?
I am getting tired. I bet many of you are tried of hearing the same old rhetoric about now "not being the time" or "thoughts and prayers."
What could have saved so many lives would be a president and a Congress willing to stand up to the gun lobby and the Israeli lobby. If they had the guts to pass gun reform or end foreign aid to Israel, we would be more safer. If we stop giving billions to Israel, we could solve the homelessness crisis. We could feed thousands of Americans. We could fix roads, bridges, rails and waterways. We could advance our students and trade workers.
Why are we giving money to an apartheid ethnostate?
Why are we allowing gun violence to be a normal thing in the United States?
We have to do something more than saying platitudes.
In York County, Pennsylvania, three police officers are dead. Two in critical condition. The shooter is dead. Where do we go from here?
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Josh Shapiro, Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA), Sen. Rich McCormick (R-PA) and the U.S. House members from Pennsylvania were notified about this.
Pennsylvania law enforcement officials attempted to serve a warrant Wednesday afternoon in rural central Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris said.
The shooting suspect is dead after being shot by police, officials said.
Law enforcement officers were on their way to arrest the shooter after a charge of stalking and criminal trespass was filed Wednesday in York County, law enforcement sources told CNN.
The shooter appeared to be lying in wait when officers arrived, the sources said.
The shooting unfolded on Haar Road in North Codorus Township, a pastoral area of York County dotted with small barns and sprawling farm land about 2 1/2 hours west of Philadelphia.
A medevac helicopter would later be spotted in one of the area’s grassy fields, flanked by the winding road lit up by flashing lights from several responding fire engines, police cars and ambulances.
The shooter is the ex-boyfriend of a woman who lived in the farmhouse where the shooting occurred, according to multiple law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation. On Tuesday, the ex- girlfriend reported to local police that she had observed the man in a nearby cornfield stalking the residence, the officials said.
Northern York police obtained an arrest warrant and restraining order, but were unable to find the suspected shooter when they attempted to serve him Tuesday night, according to the officials.
When officers returned in a follow-up visit Wednesday, the camouflage-wearing shooter opened fire from the cornfield, striking and killing three Northern York officers, the officials said. He then began moving toward the house, where he engaged three York County sheriffs, according to the officials. Two were shot and one was able to return fire, killing the shooter, the officials said.
It is not clear whether the shooter was waiting for the ex- girlfriend or the arresting officers, according to the officials.
This is the second farm community marred by officer-involved gun violence in the state this year, officials noted. Last month, a 61-year-old man in Susquehanna County shot two state troopers on a highway after officials says he killed his neighbor. He was fatally shot by police.
Don't expect a call from President Trump.
The threat of gun violence is not something those living in North Codorus Township are used to, according to resident Dave Miller.
Law enforcement officials have the tough task of keeping communities safe in a changing world, Miller told CNN. “This isn’t a big city. This is wide open spaces,” Miller added.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro asked the public to think of the families of the officers wounded and killed.
“It’s an extraordinary thing what these law enforcement families do. They support the individual who puts on the uniform and runs toward danger,” Shapiro said in a news conference Wednesday. “They’re there for them when they leave in the morning, and they pray throughout the day that they will come home at night.”
Officials did not identify the officers involved and which law enforcement agency they worked for.
“The death of any public servant is an absolute tragedy,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said in a statement.
“Learning that three officers were killed in York County where I worked for many years as a prosecutor, and where I still call home, is unfathomable,” he added.
The FBI along with agents from the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are supporting local officials, US Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an X post Wednesday afternoon.
“Violence against law enforcement is a scourge on our society and never acceptable. Pray for the officers involved,” Bondi added.
Bondi reached out to Shapiro directly, he said, noting that the state will get the full support of the federal government as it continues its investigation into the incident.
Shapiro also addressed the ongoing issue of gun violence in the United States, saying, “We need to do better as a society. We need to help the people who think that picking up a gun, picking up a weapon is the answer to resolving disputes.”
So far this year, 37 law enforcement officers have been killed in the line of duty, according to data from the FBI. A total of 64 officer deaths involved a crime in 2024, the data shows.
Well this day gets interesting.
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.
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.
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.
Y'all voted for this. Expect more of this.
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 out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on 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, a weapons embargo, sanctions and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more domestic or foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists and special interst groups.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
LET ME BE CLEAR, PRAYERS DO NOT STOP FUCKING BULLETS!
THIS IS A MAN-MADE ISSUE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STOP A MAN-MADE ISSUE LIKE GUN VIOLENCE?
STOP SAYING YOU'RE PRAYING TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS FUCKING PLATITUDES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT FUCKING GUN VIOLENCE YOU WORTHLESS LAWMAKERS. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE THE STATUS QUO WILL KEEP YOU AND OTHERS AT RISK OF VIOLENCE. MAKE A CHOICE TO STOP THE CHAOS AND ACT LIKE FUCKING 79 YEAR OLD MAN. DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE COUNTRY.
