SCOTUS Halts SNAP Order!

These guys. 

The U.S. Supreme Court blocked two lower court rulings that issued a demand for President Donald J. Trump to issue SNAP benefits.

This is what y'all voted for.

Since we have no accurate employment numbers, we can only assume that 3.7 million Americans are out of work. That includes companies that laid off workers, the federal government shutdown and companies closing. 

Trump emergency appealed the ruling and the Court has blocked the rulings.

The Supreme Court has a job approval of 25%.

The president has a job approval of 34%. Vice President JD Vance has a job approval of 37%. Congress has a job approval of 23%. Overall 65% of Americans believe the country is going in the wrong direction.

So there will be 42 million Americans struggling for food who are on food assistance.

There will be over 1 million federal workers not getting paid, thousands of Americans who worked in retail, hospitality, manufacturing, media, medical, education and local services will be affected by the government shutdown and elitism.

Civil war is a coming.

The ruling on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown, even though residents in some states already have received the funds.

A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked an appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.

After a Boston appeals court declined to immediately intervene, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause. Jackson handles emergency matters from Massachusetts.

Her order will remain in place until 48 hours after the appeals court rules, giving the administration time to return to the Supreme Court if the appeals court refuses to step in.

The food program serves about 1 in 8 Americans, mostly with lower incomes.

1/8 × 330 = 41.25. Think of this in millions. 

Officials in more than a half-dozen states confirmed that some SNAP recipients already were issued full November payments on Friday. But Jackson’s order could prevent other states from initiating the payments.

Which states issued SNAP payments

In Wisconsin, more than $104 million of monthly food benefits became available at midnight on electronic cards for about 337,000 households, a spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said. The state was able to access the federal money so quickly by submitting a request to its electronic benefit card vendor to process the SNAP payments within hours of a Thursday court order to provide full benefits.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, said state employees “worked through the night” to issue full November benefits “to make sure every Oregon family relying on SNAP could buy groceries” by Friday.

Hawaii had the information for November’s monthly payments ready to go, so it could submit it quickly for processing after Thursday’s court order — and before a higher court could potentially pause it, Joseph Campos II, deputy director of Hawaii’s Department of Human Services, told The Associated Press.

“We moved with haste once we verified everything,” Campos said.

Trump is compromised by some of the most dumbest advisors ever. 

Trump’s administration told the Supreme Court that the fast-acting states were “trying to seize what they could of the agency’s finite set of remaining funds, before any appeal could even be filed, and to the detriment of other States’ allotments.”

“Once those billions are out the door, there is no ready mechanism for the government to recover those funds,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the court filing.

Officials in California, Kansas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Washington state also said they moved quickly to issue full SNAP benefits Friday, while other states said they expected full benefits to arrive over the weekend or early next week. Still others said they were waiting for further federal guidance.

Many SNAP recipients face uncertainty

The court wrangling prolonged weeks of uncertainty for Americans with lower incomes.

An individual can receive a monthly maximum food benefit of nearly $300 and a family of four up to nearly $1,000, although many receive less than that under a formula that takes into consideration their income.

For some SNAP participants, it remained unclear when they would receive their benefits.

Jasmen Youngbey of Newark, New Jersey, waited in line Friday at a food pantry in the state’s largest city. As a single mom attending college, Youngbey said she relies on SNAP to help feed her 7-month-old and 4-year-old sons. But she said her account balance was at $0.

“Not everybody has cash to pull out and say, ‘OK, I’m going to go and get this,’ especially with the cost of food right now,” she said.

Later Friday, Youngbey said, she received her monthly SNAP benefits.

The legal battle over SNAP takes another twist

Because of the federal government shutdown, the Trump administration originally had said SNAP benefits would not be available in November. However, two judges ruled last week that the administration could not skip November’s benefits entirely because of the shutdown. One of those judges was U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr., who ordered the full payments Thursday.

In both cases, the judges ordered the government to use one emergency reserve fund containing more than $4.6 billion to pay for SNAP for November but gave it leeway to tap other money to make the full payments, which cost between $8.5 billion and $9 billion each month.

On Monday, the administration said it would not use additional money, saying it was up to Congress to appropriate the funds for the program and that the other money was needed to shore up other child hunger programs.

Thursday’s federal court order rejected the Trump administration’s decision to cover only 65% of the maximum monthly benefit, a decision that could have left some recipients getting nothing for this month.

In its court filings Friday, Trump’s administration contended that the judge usurped both legislative and executive authority in ordering SNAP benefits to be fully funded.

“This unprecedented injunction makes a mockery of the separation of powers,” Sauer told the Supreme Court.

States are taking different approaches to food aid

Some states said they stood ready to distribute SNAP money as quickly as possible.

Colorado and Massachusetts said SNAP participants could receive their full November payments as soon as Saturday. New York said access to full SNAP benefits should begin by Sunday. New Hampshire said full benefits should be available by this weekend. Arizona and Connecticut said full benefits should be accessible in the coming days.

Officials in North Carolina said they distributed partial SNAP payments Friday and full benefits could be available by this weekend. Officials in Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana and North Dakota also said they distributed partial November payments.

Amid the federal uncertainty, Delaware’s Democratic Gov. Matt Meyer said the state used its own funds Friday to provide the first of what could be a weekly relief payment to SNAP recipients.

¿Qué le sucedió a María Florinda Ríos Pérez?

An Indiana mother of four was shot and killed when a person shot her through a door.

What Happened To María Florinda Ríos Pérez?

The housekeeper was just trying to work and feed her family. So what? She is from Guatemala. Is it a crime to be an immigrant? 

We just need to put ourselves in the shoes of others. Instead of scapegoating the vulnerable, our outage should be zeroed in on the elite. 

These white people are so fucking triggered by the click rage online they perceive Blacks, Muslims, Jews, Arabs, gays, transgender people, immigrants, progressives, Socialists and Communists as threats to white hierarchy.

Folks like Charlie Kirk feed into the notion that the status quo kept America great.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Republicans and some of those damn Democrats feed on the notion that if we change the status quo, the country is going to fail.

In our latest edition of "What Happened To?," there is a story of a woman who worked for a housekeeping service. She was shot and killed by a homeowner in Whitestown, Indiana.

Scratch that. The motherfucker killed an innocent woman for no fucking reason.

While we are fighting over words, the actions are being done.

Authorities are considering whether to charge an Indiana homeowner who they say shot and killed a woman working as a house cleaner after she mistakenly went to the wrong address.

Police officers found 32-year-old Maria Florinda Rios Perez dead just before 7 a.m. Wednesday on the front porch of the home in Whitestown, an Indianapolis suburb of about 10,000 people, according to a police news release. She was part of a cleaning crew that had gone to the wrong address, the release said.

Rios Perez’s husband, Mauricio Velazquez, told WRTV in Indianapolis that he and his wife had been cleaning homes for seven months. Velazquez said he was standing with her at the home’s front door on Wednesday morning but didn’t realize she had been shot until she fell into his arms, bleeding.

On a fundraising page, her brother described Rios Perez as a mother of four children. Police said Friday that she was from Indianapolis but the family plans to bury her in Guatemala, according to her obituary and her brother’s fundraising page. The Associated Press was not able to reach family members directly on Friday.

Authorities have not publicly identified the shooter. Police turned over the findings from their investigation to Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood on Friday afternoon, but the prosecutor said the decision on whether to file charges won’t be easy.

The case brings Indiana’s castle doctrine laws squarely into play, he said. Those laws allow a person to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to stop what they reasonably believe is an unlawful entry into their dwelling. Thirty-one states have similar laws on the books, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Authorities have not publicly identified the shooter. Police turned over the findings from their investigation to Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood on Friday afternoon, but the prosecutor said the decision on whether to file charges won’t be easy.

So what this fool is saying, he can't prosecute a person because of a stupid Indiana law that justifies shooting a person for knocking on the door. That is bullshit.

Maria's distraught husband and children are angered by the lack of movement to arrest the person who shot her.

The case brings Indiana’s castle doctrine laws squarely into play, he said. Those laws allow a person to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to stop what they reasonably believe is an unlawful entry into their dwelling. Thirty-one states have similar laws on the books, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

In similar cases elsewhere, prosecutors have successfully brought charges against people who opened fire outside their homes, including a guilty plea by an 86-year-old man who shot Ralph Yarl after the Black teenager came to his door by mistake. In New York, a man was convicted of second-degree murder for fatally shooting a woman inside a car who came down his driveway by mistake.

Eastwood said he will have to pore over investigators’ findings to understand what happened in the moments leading up to the shooting. That means reviewing “every second” of witnesses’ taped interviews and doorbell footage if police bring him any, he said.

“You need to understand all the details so you can understand what happened and what is reasonable,” Eastwood said. “One of the hardest things today in this world is to agree on what’s reasonable. As a prosecutor, those are things we have to grapple with.”

Motives.

The shooter thought he/she was being robbed.

The shooter thought he/she was confronted by gang members.

The shooter claims there were no soliciting signs and the people were warned.

These are the justifications of white shooters. Instead of labeling thugs, callous killers or terrorists, we paint a picture of the shooter as a loving, caring, family oriented man. Fuck that shit! This shooter was a monster. 

Are you getting tired of this?

The status quo politics of "can't do nothing" or "now is not the time."

On average there are two mass shootings a day now. It never stops. With the federal government at a shutdown, more people could be drawn to extreme measures.

Uh oh. Better see if the far right preparing to make this shooter a leftist.

I wonder if Charlie Kirk got something to say about it?

Nevermind.

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. 

What is wrong with white men, white women and white boys?

It's the guns stupid!

Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:
  • White
  • Black
  • Muslim
  • Immigrant
  • Arab
  • A member of the LGBTQ community 
  • A disgruntled employee 
  • A former student
  • A current student
  • A so called leftist 
  • A person 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.

The real issue is not just guns, it's white men and white boys. They are losing their goddamn minds. Inspired by loneliness, politics, job loss, social media trends, endless perceptions of others, the lack of opportunities (besides joining the military) and the need to be ahead of everyone else is what drives these fools to commit endless chaos.

White privilege also santizes the white shooters. Already we are getting details of the mass shooters. Glaring profiles of these white mass shooters to paint them as unfortunate circumstances. Ignoring the fact, these terrorists had signs of potential danger but their families thought it was just noise.

That restraining order doesn't mean much to a deranged individual. It's a trigger!

I wish things could have turned out well! But unfortunately, a shooter never abides to a court order!

How can a piece of paper protect a victim when it's not reliant on stopping the perpetrator (from causing harm)?

The real issue is gun violence. Not comedians. Not activists. Not Black men. Not immigrants. Not Muslims. Not transgender Americans. Not video games. Not movies. Not rap music. Not the left.

A man made crisis that can be solved if these incompetent politicians and media agitators stop making excuses for the continued gun violence epidemic. Instead offering words, how about policies?

The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.

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 rightWhite shooters are always mentally ill or lone wolves. The far right believes they should receive some sympathy for their crimes. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals who deserve lengthy time in the iron college or death. Gay and transgender shooters are active groomers who want to be pedophiles on children. Muslim shooters are terrorists who should be surveiled or deported. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants and they should be deported. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [leftist or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the politics of the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the ridiculous "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. Even if the evidence turns out that the shooter has alignment with conservative causes or Republicans, the far right dismisses it as a hoax or a plot to demonize the MAGA movement.

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.
This is not self defense. It is callous murder.

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.

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.

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 interest groups.

A Stefanik In Every Pot!

Hate ages you. The 41 year old New York Republican Elise Stefanik wants the governor seat in Albany.

So instead of being the top Republican recruiter for House members, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) decides to take a risky gamble to run for governor. In better times, had Stefanik returned to the rational Republican moderate she used to be, I would give her a strong shot of upsetting Kathy Hochul.

But I see it as competitive but likely Democrat. New York has not put a Republican in the governor seat since George Pataki. New York hasn't voted for a Republican president since George H.W. Bush. However President Donald J. Trump did pull in 41% of the vote in the 2024 presidential election. It was one of the strongest showings for a continuously failed president.

Gov. Hochul is a two term New York governor who came in after disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo resigned from a sex scandal. Hochul is deeply unpopular due to her stances on Israel, the support for the elites on Wall Street, her refusal to embrace change to the status quo and being a career politician.

Hochul has a primary challenger.

Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado is challenging her.

Stefanik is a career politician who talks from boths sides. Her mouth and her ass. She is ineffective and just downright annoying. She looks a spoiled brat. She looks like Woody Woodpecker's foil Miss Meany. 

A spoiled brat who tattle tales on the group when she doesn't get her way.

On friendly networks, Fox, the controversial lawmaker is challenging Hochul and is guns ablazing on New York assemblyman Zohran Mandani, the New York City mayor-elect.

Stefanik's 2½-minute launch video focuses largely on affordability. And while she is a staunch ally of the president, her campaign video does not make any references to the president.

"There's no question: New York is facing an affordability crisis," a narrator says in Stefanik's launch video, which also features commentators calling Hochul the "worst governor in America."

If Kathy Hochul is the worst governor in New York, the I guess Elise Stefanik the worst U.S. Representative in New York?

She is a fucking U.S. lawmaker who can write bills that could make things affordable.

She and Republicans could raise the minimum wage to cost of living standards. Yet, she protects the billionaires, the elite and a sexual predator who is the current President of the United States.

People are going to remember how she is a big government nanny. She was at the forefront of deporting foreign students who participated in the pro Palestinian protests.

She was doing all that theater at prestigious college presidents about antisemitism. She was yelling about how Jewish students are not safe. What about the rest of us?

Gun violence. It killed white nationalist Charlie Kirk.

Sexual assault on college campuses is a real issue.

But let's focus on a few Zionists who are angry over professors and students using their freedom speech to protest a fucking genocide.

She dog whistles the great replacement theory when she wants to attack immigrants and women of color.

She also runs off to Israel to watch the regime kill Palestinians.

Miss Meany for governor.

The video also ties Hochul to Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who just had a decisive win earlier this week to become the next mayor of New York City. Hochul endorsed Mamdani in the race and appeared with him on the campaign trail.

"Kathy Hochul made New York the most unaffordable state in the nation, crushing families with sky-high taxes, unaffordable rent, soaring energy costs and record-high grocery bills, and cozied up to an anti-police, tax-hiking, antisemitic communist," a narrator says in the video. The launch video also features clips of Mamdani supporters chanting "tax the rich" as Hochul addressed a recent rally.

"With everything on the line, we need someone who will deliver results and make New York affordable and safe for families and small businesses," a narrator says in the video. "Elise Stefanik will clean up Kathy Hochul's catastrophe and restore New York's greatness."

Stefanik is the first high-profile Republican to launch a campaign and she's been weighing a run for governor for months. She said back in April that she would announce her decision after the 2025 elections, following GOP Rep. Mike Lawler's announcement that he would not run for governor. Trump helped convince Lawler, who represents a competitive district, to stay put in the House, effectively clearing the primary field for Stefanik.

Stefanik had been nominated to be Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, but Trump withdrew her nomination amid concerns that a competitive special election to replace her in Congress could further shrink the narrow GOP majority.

First elected to Congress in 2014, then the youngest woman elected to the House, Stefanik has risen through the ranks of the GOP leadership, serving as conference chairwoman in the last Congress. She built a national profile as a vocal defender of Trump during his first impeachment in 2019 and has become a prolific fundraiser.

Still, Stefanik will face an uphill battle in the traditionally Democratic state. Trump made significant gains in New York in 2024, improving on his 2020 election margin by 11 points, the largest swing toward Trump of any state in the country. But he still lost New York by 13 points last year.

Hochul is running for her second full term after succeeding Andrew Cuomo in 2021 following his resignation amid sexual harassment allegations, which he has denied. Hochul won her first full term by about 6 points in 2022, defeating two primary challengers in the process.

Back when Stefanik was a rational Republican, folks saw her as a rising star. She hinted running for Senate but like all dreams, the big Republican donors told her to stay in her lane.

Stefanik would have left to be the United Nations Ambassador. Trump pulled her nomination because of some issue that they refuse to discuss.

Marshawn Kneeland Passed Away!

Gone too soon. Mental health in our Black men and women is real.

The issues of mental health, the stress of playing in the National Football Lesgue and the end game.

Taking blows to the body can have a life altering experience in the long run. Many of the retired NFL players experience pain for life after they take off the uniforms.

Some have experience decline in cognitive development.

Marshawn Kneeland has passed away from suicide. He was an American professional football player who was a defensive end for two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Western Michigan Broncos, earning second-team all-conference honors in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) in 2023. He was selected by the Cowboys in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft.

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741).

Police in a Dallas suburb say 24-year-old Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland was found dead of an apparent suicide after evading authorities in his vehicle and fleeing the scene of an accident on foot.

Frisco police said Thursday they are investigating the suicide. They said Kneeland didn’t stop for Texas Department of Public Safety troopers over a traffic violation in a chase that was joined by Frisco police on Wednesday night.

Authorities lost sight of the vehicle before locating it crashed minutes later. During the search after Kneeland fled the crash site on foot, officers said they received word that Kneeland might be suicidal.

As authorities were looking for Kneeland, a dispatcher told officers that people who knew him had received a group text from Kneeland “saying goodbye. They’re concerned for his welfare,”

“We’re talking to the girlfriend. She’s trying to call his agent. But we’re trying to get her to call him first. But she’s saying he is armed and has a history of mental illness. And her quote was, ‘He will end it all,’” another dispatcher told officers.

He was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound early Thursday morning, about three hours after the crash, police said without specifying where Kneeland’s body was found. In the recordings from Broadcastify, officers said they had tried to get in contact with Kneeland by calling and texting him and had used a drone to try and locate him after the crash.

His family issued a statement.

“We are devastated by this tremendous loss and are still processing the depth of our grief,” Marshawn’s family, including his siblings AJ Kneeland, Shawn Kneeland and Yahmya Kneeland, wrote in a joint Nov. 6 Facebook statement. “As Marshawn was making his mark on the football field with the Dallas Cowboys, he held an even more special place off the field—as a devoted son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandson, and friend.”

Of his character, they added, “He was kind, determined, humble, and full of love. His light shone brightly in every life he touched, and his spirit will continue to live on through the countless hearts he inspired.”

“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends, fans, and the community,” they concluded. “During this difficult time, we ask for privacy as we come together as a family to honor and remember Marshawn’s life and legacy.”

You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism because you support the freedom of Palestinians. You are tired of the propaganda being forced on your media platforms.

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 interest groups.

Bama Deputy Crashes Her Career!

Bad day.

An Alabama deputy off duty crashes her cruiser after apparently being under the influnce while operating a motor vehicle.

Shamonte Lenfair is on administrative leave and is likely in good position for a cannon firing. She will face a judge this month. Her troubles began in late October when she blew through a light and immediately crashed into a vehicle in Center Point, outside of Birmingham.

She worked for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Lanfair is formally charged with first-degree assault connected to driving under the influence of alcohol, causing serious physical injury. A criminal complaint was filed on Monday, Oct. 27.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said Lanfair was off-duty at the time of the crash. She was initially booked in the Jefferson County Jail Birmingham Division on two counts of first-degree assault on Oct. 24, where she later bonded out. That bond was set at $30,000.

This was some bad work.

The crash happened on Alabama 75 near the 4 mile marker.

ALEA said Lanfair was also injured when the department issued 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe patrol unit she was driving struck a sedan driven by a 22-year-old Birmingham woman.

The other vehicle driven by 22-year-old Kayla Williams and passenger 15-year-old brother Nicholas Williams were injured seriously.

After the initial impact, ALEA said the sedan then struck a second sedan driven by a 30-year-old Center Point woman.

Lanfair was taken to UAB St. Vincent's East Hospital for medical treatment.

Moving from Illinois to Alabama to start a life as law enforcement. All of it ruined because of mental health and alcohol abuse.

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

If convicted, she could lose her license for five years. She will lose her certification as a law enforcement officer in Alabama, face up to five years in the iron college.

She will be required to pay for damages to those injured. She will likely be sued by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for property damage.

A lot of career ending things for her.

Greene Pastures!

Worked up. Marjorie Taylor Greene escalating feud with Mike Johnson and Donald J. Trump.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is an insufferable lawmaker. She is ineffective, bombastic, sadistic, bigoted, conspiracy peddling.... well Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said it best:

"Bleach Blonde, Bad Built, Butch Body"

That remark made Greene upset. Since that confrontation, Greene has tried to improve her looks. With the support of Real America's Voice personality and boyfriend Brian Glenn, the controversial lawmaker has tried to girly her image.

While I do not endorse her or what she stands for, I am in agreement with Greene on a few things. 

President Donald J. Trump is not fulfilling his America First agenda.

He refuses to release the Jeffrey Epstein client list.

The United States is giving billions to Ukraine and Israel in their endless wars.

Israel is committing a genocide, a famine, global unrest, a censorship campaign, election interference and destruction to the United States.

Greene might be right on those Jewish Space Lazers. The apartheid ethnostate has an Iron Beam which can shoot a partical beam on targets. Israel has used AI to target people in Gaza. The Mossad has used deadly terrorist tactics like the exploding pagers and cell phones in Lebanon.

Greene was earlier a feverant supporter of Israel. 

She has "evolved" from the AIPAC script.

Greene used to be on friendly networks to promote her vicious behavior. Now she is appearing on networks she once called hostile towards her.

Real Time with Bill Maher, The View, CNN, NewsNation, MSNBC and The Breakfast Club.

What the hell is going on with Margie?

She is acting like a rational Republican for once. I am almost in shock.

The new MTG is a target of the Trump Administration. His allies are calling for a serious primary challenger to defeat her. Mark Levin is not tolerating her any longer.

In his previous rant at the Republican Jewish Coalition, Levin called Greene a "traitor" and a raging supporter of "Islamist Marxist jihadists in the Democrat Party."

Greene has clashed with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over the government shutdown. She believes the deliberate punishing of the American people because of politics is so status quo. 

The status quo is keeping Republican and Democrats stalled in passing a yearly budget.

On Monday, the United States will surpassed the longest days of a government shutdown.

Greene said that the subsidies of the Affordable Care Act expiring could raise insurance premiums. She also has frustration with the Republicans attempting to stop SNAP benefits. 

Trump was ordered by a federal judge to release emergency funds to fund SNAP benefits.

Greene is also angry at the president for continuing support for Israel. The rogue state is banning her and a several House members from entry.

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.

Trump Being Trump: Man Passes Out! Trump Annoyed!

What the Trump?

A business executive had a medical emergency in the White House and of course, President Donald J. Trump was being Trump.

Dr, Mehmet Oz and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. panicked when the executive passed out.

Trump stood there. 

During the conference, which was being broadcast on Fox News and livestreamed on multiple platforms, an individual stumbled forward and subsequently fell to the ground as Dave Lilly, the CEO of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, began to speak about the new price reductions in weight loss drugs.

The man, who has yet to be identified, took a heavy step forward, prompting Lilly to pause his remarks and ask, "You okay? Gordon, you okay?"

The men on each side of the individual both grabbed onto his arms in order to support him, and as he continued to move toward the ground, Dr. Mehmet Oz rushed toward him to help lower him to the ground.

White House personnel then cleared the press from the Oval Office, prompting the livestream coverage to abruptly end.

Minutes later, coverage resumed, and President Trump provided an update on the man's status.

Trump just looks so tired and annoyed.

"One of the representatives of one of the companies got a little bit lightheaded," Trump said. "You saw, he went down. And he's fine. They just sent him out. He's got doctor's care. But he's fine. So we had a little bit of an interruption. Sorry for that."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also addressed the incident in a statement. "During the Most Favored Nations Oval Office Announcement, a representative with one of the companies fainted," Leavitt said. "The White House Medical Unit quickly jumped into action, and the gentleman is okay."

The identity of the man who collapsed is not immediately clear. A representative for Lilly addressed the incident in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.

"Today at the White House press conference, one of the guests became overwhelmed by the events of the day and had a brief medical situation," the spokesperson said. "He is receiving the best medical care."

Dr. Mehmet Oz panicked but rushed to aiding the man.

A representative from Novo Nordisk, the Ozempic-manufacturing company that was also present at the press conference, tells Entertainment Weekly the fainting man was not Novo Nordisk employee Gordon Findlay, whom the company said was not present at the event, despite incorrect reports that Findlay was the man in question. CEO Mike Doustdar and EVP of US Operations Dave Moore — the two men who helped the fainting man as he fell — were the only two representatives from the company present at the event.

The incident occurred during a conference announcing that the cost of Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound will be reduced for Medicare and Medicaid patients.

Nancy Pelosi Out!

We gonna miss her. Nancy Pelosi stood up to Bush, Trump and Biden, but not Israel. Still, a historical woman to be Speaker of the House.

Finally, the old guard is starting to understand we are not playing games anymore.

The first woman to serve as U.S. House Speaker to four U.S. presidents is retiring.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, a staunch Zionist, middle of the road, feminist and Democratic leader has decided it is time to pass the baton to a next generation of Democrats.

Pelosi announced she was deciding on whether to carry on or retire. Had she carried on, she faced an onslaught of Democratic opponents this time. President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Gavin Newsom, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House and Senate members will react to her retiring.

Pelosi, 85, was the nation’s first and only female House speaker, and she will have represented San Francisco in Congress for 39 years when she leaves office. She has served during an era of seismic change for American society and her own city, from the throes of the AIDS crisis to the legalization of gay marriage, and through the meteoric rise of the tech sector and the nation’s extreme polarization.

She entered political office later in life and became a hero to Democrats for the way she wielded immense power to push Obamacare, climate change legislation and infrastructure programs through Congress.

“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” she told her constituents in a nearly six-minute video posted on X early Thursday morning, with clips of San Francisco’s iconic cable cars and colorful Victorian homes flashing in the background.

“My message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power,” she continued. “We have always led the way, and now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”

Pelosi, who likes to use the phrase “resting is rusting,” led the House Democrats for 20 years, eight of which she spent as speaker. She has also been a prodigious fund-raiser and raised more than $1.3 billion for Democratic campaigns, according to her aides.

But she was reviled by conservatives, who painted her as the scary embodiment of liberal San Francisco values and blamed her for what they considered the nation’s decline.

Nearly 40 years of service and Speaker to four U.S. presidents, Nancy Pelosi is one of a kind.

She has been a chief irritant to Trump, even to this day, calling him “a vile creature” in a CNN interview that aired this week. She presided over two of his impeachment votes in the House. And he has called her “Crazy Nancy,” with no sense of fondness for his foe.

Pelosi began her term as House Speaker when Republicans lost control of the House in 2007. She was a thorn to then president George W. Bush. She never came close to impeaching him despite his chaotic failures. The far right immediately vilified her, San Francisco and California. During the presidency of Barack Obama, the Tea Party began. Pelosi labeled it a bunch of astroturf, smoke and mirrors. It led to the House being flipped in 2011. She returned back to Speaker position in 2019 when Trump served his first term. He was publicly shouting and disrespecting her on camera. It came to head when she twice introduced Articles of Impeachment against him. The first time was the infamous attempt to pressure Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to introduce criminal charges against Joe Biden. The second time was the Jan. 6 insurrection in which his protesters were attempting to destroy the electoral college and harm Pelosi and then vice president Mike Pence.

Pelosi's husband Paul became a victim of a near fatal attack. A Canadian American man broke into the home and used a claw hammer to bledgon Paul in the head. He was arrested and sentenced to LIFE in federal time out. The far right, Donald Trump, Jr. and the president (then ex-president) mocked the incident believing it was some gay love affair.

DeAnne Lorraine, Laura Loomer and even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) have confronted Pelosi on her home property with conspiracy theories.

Protesters have called her out for supporting Israel.

CodePink had called her out and she flatly dismissed them as paid protesters from China.

Her ties to Wall Street were also controversial.

Allegedly she and a handful of House members are doing insider trading before the 2008 and 2020 stock market falls.

Dems Need To Get In Line Or Be Left Behind!

Issues over noise. 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) warns President Donald J. Trump and Democrats who refused to endorse or vote for New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Continue the status quo and face the wrath of voters.

“I think what this night is starting and shaping up to represent is that Americans everywhere are not going to be scared,” she said. “We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating the rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country, and we will send in a wave of Democrats that not bow to this administration, but stand up to this administration and doing so in the interest of working families, in the interest to make life affordable, housing affordable and to stand for the civil rights of all.”

"[Mandani] had to not just defeat a Republican, he had to defeat a Republican and the old guard of the Democratic Party at the same time. He was fighting a war on two fronts and not just one, and he still won resoundingly."

White Democrats are starting to show their asses out. It is frustrating that we are at the crossroads where most Americans are frustrated with status quo politics.

Ocasio-Cortez said that Democrats are going to move forward and the "old gaurd" better get in line or be left behind.

The election victory of Mamdani brought out the worst reactions from the so called Democrats who backed Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. 

Republicans and folks like 50 Cent are just normal assholes in life.

The most frustrating thing about it is the fact they are tone deaf.

Washed up actors Debra Messing and Michael Rappaport have become MAGA. They are literally embarrassing themselves with the open bigotry and Islamophobia. Their free speech is showing decline.

If the Democrats are motivated to talk about how the policies of the past are not working, they better start talking now.

Capitalism isn't prospering for the middle class or the lower class. This trickle down economics is not benefiting the working class. The need to be honest about capitalism being a disaster has to be addressed. Because right now Americans who are furloughed, laid off or terminated from employers are going to food banks and resorting to theft of food.

The Democratic Party is still supportive of capitalism which is rooted in white supremacy, economic inequality and greed. 

The policies the Republican Party are presenting are status quo. They are becoming the big government nannies they tagged the Democratic Party for years as.

Socialism, once a toxic word and a tag on almost every Democratic politician should no longer be a slur. It is time for Americans to understand that the oligarchy that led to wealth inequality is a product of capitalism. We need to equate capitalism to the rise in food prices, health costs, insurance premiums increasing and private equity firms destroying companies.

Israel, Israel, Israel..... When the party support for Israel is a mere 8%, why is the Democratic Party still trying to encourage their voters to support this country?

They're on their knees giving in to Israel and its minions. 

As Israel continues to commit a genocide under the guise of a ceasefire, some Democrats and the influncers are calling out the progressive base for moving on from Gaza.

I haven't moved on from Israel. I am laser focused on ensuring Israel will fall. I am seeing the endless attacks on Zohran Mamdani, Graham Platner, Cori Bush, Katie Porter and even former vice president Kamala Harris.

Cincinnati Keeps Aftab Pureval! Dayton Ousts Jeff Mims!

Progressive challenger defeats centrist. Dayton, Ohio picks Shenise Turner-Sloss over incumbent Jeff Mims.

Democrats prevail in New York City, Virginia, New Jersey, California, Georgia and even in Ohio. The civil war between the progressive and centrist wing of the Democratic Party is an ongoing issue.

Progressives are mounting an aggressive campaign to purge the Democratic Party of ineffective, corporatist, conservative and Zionist Democrats. The 2026 Midterms will be a test of how far the progressive base will go to push the party back to the movement they claimed to backed so many years prior.

Aftab Pureval, mayor of Cincinnati defeats the half-brother of Vice President JD Vance, Cory Bowman.

Jeffrey Mims, Jr., mayor of Dayton is defeated by Shenise Turner-Sloss, a progressive Dayton commissioner.

Cincinnati, Ohio has a population of 315,000 residents. It has increased slightly these past decades. At one time, Cincinnati was on the decline but a major turnaround and unfortunately gentrification led to its rebound.

Dayton, Ohio has a population of 132,000 residents. It has significantly decreased these past decades. At one time, Dayton was a booming industrial community. All of its major corporations have moved out, crime has increased and blight has dominated the city.

Pureval, the first Indian-American to be mayor of the city faced off against James David Bowman's (Vance) brother, Cory. 

This race wasn't as big as the race between mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and former New York governor Andrew Cuomo but it was closely watched. 

Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance live in the neighborhood of East Walnut Hills.

Bowman was hoping to cash in on his half-brother and President Donald J. Trump's honeymoon period. At one time, Trump had a job approval of 47%. This was the highest job approval (despite being underwater) for the president.

Issues that drove voters out should be the most important. 

1. The government shutdown.

2. Economic uncertainty.

3. Affordability.

4. Israel.

5. Political violence.

6. President Donald J. Trump being tone deaf.

Bowman was running on divisive issues like crime, taxes, gang violence, graffiti and business owners leaving Cincinnati. He even went as far to use Rodney Hinton, Jr. and the racist couple being knocked out during a riot near Over the Rhine.

Cory Bowman was banking on his high profile brother. He was washed by Aftab Pureval.

Hinton, a distraught Cincinnati father intentionally rammed his vehicle into a Hamilton County sheriff deputy constable directing traffic hours after he watched the video of a Cincinnati Police officer shoot his son after he fled a stolen vehicle. Ryan Hinton was inside a stolen Kia and was apparently armed. As Hinton fled his vehicle, the officer spotted a firearm and immediately shot him. The officer was cleared of the shooting.

Hinton blamed the Cincinnati Police and the systematic racism. He took an eye for an eye. He is facing capital murder. He is currently in Clermont County lockup on suicide watch. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Teresa Theetge, the embattled Cincinnati Police chief was placed on leave after the city deemed her ineffective in solving the problems. Cincinnati also launched a drone campaign with Skydio. That company worked with Israel in the aftermath of the resistance of October 7th. 

Cincinnati has a growth rebound which helped Pureval succeed in trouncing Bowman.

It was a landslide in a nonpartisan race. Pureval beaten Bowman 82% to 18%. 

Cincinnati's Police Union supported Bowman and voted no confidence to Pureval.

Mims on the other hand lost.

Jeff Mims was tone deaf to Dayton. They voted him out.

Mayor-elect Turner-Sloss ran on ending gridlock and investing in Dayton. She often feuded with Mims on spending and policies. The mayor-elect was supportive of a hospital being built in the West Dayton area after the devastating loss of Good Samaritan Hospital in 2018. That happened in Trump’s first term. 

Mims couldn't control the gun violence. His traffic calming measures also were a bad idea.

Mims lost to Turner-Sloss by 48% to 52%.

Turner-Sloss campaigned for reform of police response to mental health calls and investing in the neighborhoods around downtown, as well as putting money into the downtown engine. She also wants to promote better reception to the community’s calls for help.

Mims is now Dayton’s second mayor since 1992 to go for one term.

The Montgomery County Board of Elections says some absentee and provisional ballots still need to be counted, meaning the race won’t be certified immediately.

Gary Litezell, the former mayor of Dayton was the most recent one term before Mims. 

Litezell defeated two term mayor Rhine McLin on the very same platforms that Mims championed. He ran as an independent but was endorsed by Republicans since they had no formal challenger.

Litezell was defeated by Democrat Nan Whaley who went on to serve two terms before she became a sacrificial goat in the 2022 Ohio gubernatorial race. Whaley lost to her former friend the incumbent governor Mike DeWine.
