Enough is enough. Even the far right is getting tired of Israel being a distraction.
MAGAland is slowly breaking away from the Israeli alliance. The civil war within the Democratic Party and Republican Party is real. The unfortunate alliance of convenience.
When young Americans are seeing children being blown up, Israeli Defense Soliders wearing the clothes of their victims, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lecturing Americans on what is justified opinionated concerns, the AIPAC lobby trying to deflect by painting critics as being bought by foreign influence, the ADL trying push censorship campaigns on social media, the deflections to blame Muslims, the calls to deport critics because they oppose Israel, calling people "antisemitic" and a "terrorist" to stifle critics is seriously backfiring.
This 🇮🇱 And Zionism Will Be Regarded As A Symbol Of Evil In The 21st Century.
Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Dave Smith, Pat Buchanan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Glenn Greenwald, Candace Owens, Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate have split MAGAland.
I strongly disagree with the opinions and views of these figures. I don't endorse their opinions but I will only say that their opposition to Israel is the only thing I will agree with them.
Why are they becoming influential to them over Fox and the status quo?
The cause is simple: Why are we giving billions to Israel while Americans are on the streets or struggling here at home?
American home ownership is down. The average age of home buyers is 40 years old.
More Americans are waiting to having children.
They know that it cost $395,000 to raise a child.

When the right is claiming the government is run by Zionists, the calls of being antisemitic are loud.
Why is the far right slowly accepting the narrative the progressives pushed during the Biden Administration?
Generational gap of politics. Censorship and identity politics is a weapon used by Republicans and Democrats alike. They have convinced people that the status quo is better than generational change. President Donald J. Trump is the emboldenment of white privilege, elitism and a decline of American dominance.
President Donald J. Trump has a feud with Tucker Carlson. The white nationalist is demanding the president to stick to America policies. Trump is not fulfilling his actions.
Antisemitism is becoming a weapon that is running out of bullets.
The words lost meaning when Americans are frustrated with a government that isn't working for them. When Americans are seeing stagnant wages, frustration with their jobs, frustration with the increasing prices of food, not being able to take vacations, fear of medical debt, fear of financial debt, not achieving the American Dream, you are seeing the collapse of support for Israel.
The calls of antisemitism is not working either. It seems like "crying wolf."

Generational gap of politics. Censorship and identity politics is a weapon used by Republicans and Democrats alike. They have convinced people that the status quo is better than generational change. President Donald J. Trump is the emboldenment of white privilege, elitism and a decline of American dominance. The white leadership structure is collapsing.
Those who tried to push for former vice president Kamala Harris to stop Israel from committing a genocide were ignored. Even Harris acknowledged that she gambled on trying to win over dissatisfied Trump voters while pushing aside concerns progressives had with former president Joe Biden.
Both the Biden and Trump administrations have tried to end the fighting and bring back the captured IDF members while providing extensive military and diplomatic cover to Israel.
Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.
Again, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing religious beliefs, there is no antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.
You see the platforms are now pushing strong in the propaganda.
The cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York state attorney general Letitia James are dropped. The federal judge overseeing the case dismissed President Donald J. Trump's interim U.S. Attorney due because she is incompetent.
Comey, a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on two counts: one charge of making a false statement to Congress, and one charge of obstructing a congressional proceeding. The charges are related to Comey's testimony during a September 30, 2020, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about the FBI's investigation of links between Russia and the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, and he was indicted just before the five-year statute of limitations ran out. The charges were dismissed without prejudice on November 24.
The indictment followed President Trump's removal of U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, who had opposed bringing charges, and his installation of Lindsey Halligan, a political loyalist with no prosecutorial experience, who secured the indictment days before the statute of limitations expired. Comey's defense argues the charges are baseless because Senator Ted Cruz's 2020 questions were ambiguous, Comey's answers were literally true, and the obstruction count fails to specify any false statements. They also allege grand-jury misconduct, including Halligan keeping jurors late, signing two indictments, and allowing improper testimony, framing the prosecution as vindictive and politically driven. Federal judges have sharply criticized the government's handling of the case, ordered the release of grand-jury materials, and reviewed whether Halligan's appointment itself was lawful. Comey pleaded not guilty. A trial was scheduled for January 2026. However, the case against Comey was tossed after Halligan's appointment was deemed unlawful.
After Siebert's dismissal, Boris Epshteyn, a Trump aide, approached Halligan about taking the position. On September 20, Trump announced that he would nominate Halligan to succeed Siebert. According to The New York Times, attorney general Pam Bondi and deputy attorney general Todd Blanche questioned her viability for the role given her lack of experience. Two days later, Halligan was sworn in as the interim U.S. attorney, after which she resigned as staff secretary.
Halligan intended to ask a grand jury to indict Comey, despite an internal memorandum arguing that she should not bring charges against him. On September 25, with only days remaining before the five-year statute of limitations would have expired, Halligan signed Comey's indictment. In October, Halligan indicted Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud. On October 20, Comey's attorneys filed a motion for dismissal, alleging that Halligan's interim appointment was carried out in violation of federal law. The New York Times noted that "A ruling finding that Ms. Halligan was put into her post improperly could cause [prosecutorial] problems in Ms. James's case as well."
The politicial witch hunt failed.
As an interim U.S. attorney, Halligan emphasized a strict zero-tolerance policy on the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information at the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
In October 2025, Lawfare reporter Anna Bower published a Signal exchange, in which Halligan raised complaints about the media's coverage and characterization of the James indictment. Days later, James filed a request with the judge in charge of her case, seeking to bar federal prosecutors from speaking with the media about evidence in the case, arguing that this was needed in order to ensure a fair trial. At the end of that month, Attorney General Bondi retroactively appointed Halligan as a "special attorney" to dispel doubt about the legitimacy of Halligan's initial appointment as a federal prosecutor.
In November, a federal judge, Cameron McGowan Currie, heard Comey and James's challenges to the legality of Halligan's appointment. Days later, a magistrate judge, William E. Fitzpatrick, found that Halligan may have committed misconduct by falsely stating that the Fifth Amendment precluded Comey from avoiding to testify at his trial. Fitzpatrick added that Halligan had told jurors that the Department of Justice had additional evidence that would be revealed at trial and noted the discrepancy between the indictment presented and the indictment approved by the grand jury.
Halligan later told judge Michael S. Nachmanoff that the foreperson in the grand jury proceedings for the Comey case had approved a second version of the indictment that had not been seen by the grand jury.
James, the attorney general of New York, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on two counts: one charge of bank fraud and one charge of making false statements to a financial institution. The charges stem from allegations that James misrepresented the nature of a property she purchased in Norfolk, Virginia, in 2020, to secure more favorable loan terms. James has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty when arraigned on October 24, 2025. The trial was scheduled to begin on January 26, 2026. The charges were dismissed without prejudice.
On November 24, Judge Currie ruled that Halligan's appointment was unlawful, resulting in her disqualification as U.S. attorney, and dismissed the charges against Comey and James.
The Trump Administration released the name of the victim of an incident in Chicago.
Why is the Trump Administration so focused on the isolated incident where a man set fire to a woman on a elevated train in Chicago?
The victim is a white woman and the suspect is a Black man.
The Black man is mentally ill and has a history of violent encounters where he was arrested for minor misdemeanors. This is not about safety in the country, its about scapegoating and divisiveness.
Typical of these motherfuckers.
White extremism is on the rise. These motherfuckers are gassing up young white men and boys to become violent agitators. The Trump Administration is quietly deputizing militias to focus on the vulnerable. It is already failing and trust me, the left is gunning up too.
Civil war is a coming.
This is why you are hearing about incidents on subways, light rail trains or in upscale neighborhoods. This is why you're hearing about allegations of antisemitism when there's protests at Jewish centers trying to sell stolen land in Palestine. This is why you're hearing about transgender Americans being vilified for being in adult entertainment, sports and becoming beauty influncers.
To take Americans off of a taxpayer funded genocide, economic uncertainty, food insecurity, inflation, a growing debt crisis and distrust in the federal government, the agitators want you to focus on immigrants, transgender Americans, Black degeneracy and Muslims.
Neverending distractions (NED).
President Donald J. Trump is the face of white entitlement, white nationalism, cultural appropriation, elitism, a two tier justice system and a broken government. He is a nepo baby, a sexual predator, a spoiled brat, a dottering old fart, a despicable human being and a fucking idiot.
Republicans are going to use endless distractions to win. From gerrymandering to culture wars, the Republican Party will keep the noise loud and insufferable.
The suspect is mentally ill and he finally recognized he committed a crime.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has identified the young woman who was set on fire last week while she was riding a Chicago Transit Authority train as Bethany MaGee, 26.
Duffy, in a post on X, also blamed "Chicago’s carelessness" for the attack, saying it would have never happened had the suspect "been behind bars."
"Yet Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets," Duffy wrote.
The suspect, Lawrence Reed, 50, has a history of mental illness and has been arrested 72 times since he turned 18, most recently in August, when he was charged with aggravated battery after a social worker was struck, Chicago media reported.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Over the objections of state prosecutors, Reed was released and put on electronic monitoring. Since then, he has violated the terms of his probation a half-dozen times, including the day of the attack, NBC Chicago reported.
Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday said he would not confirm the woman's identity "out of respect for the family's wishes."
"This was a tragic incident, and the Mayor's prayers are with the victim and her family," he said in a statement.
At a news conference last week, Johnson said the Nov. 17 attack"should have never happened" and characterized the violence as "an absolute failure of our criminal justice as well as our mental health institutions."
It is devastating that a career criminal with 72 PRIOR ARRESTS is now accused of attacking 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on Chicago’s L train, and setting her on fire.
This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars. Yet Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the… https://t.co/1vaHyCd8sp
He said the suspect was clearly mentally disturbed and a danger to himself and the community — "and now we have a woman who is fighting for her life," the mayor said.
Trump and members of his administration have routinely claimed that cities run by Democrats, like Johnson, have high crime rates.
When NBC News reached out to the Chicago Police Department to confirm Duffy's naming of MaGee, a spokesperson emailed that "our office does not identify victims."
There was also no immediate response from MaGee's family to Duffy's announcement. Calls to a phone number believed to belong to her family went unanswered.
Last week the family of the victim, who is being cared for at Stroger Hospital, released a statement that thanked "everyone for their prayers and well-wishes as our daughter receives care for injuries sustained earlier this week.”
Duffy's post Sunday appeared several days after federal prosecutors charged Reed with one count of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system in the Northern District of Illinois.
At the court hearing Wednesday, Reed repeatedly yelled “I plead guilty!” as soon as he entered the courtroom, according to NBC Chicago.
Reed declined counsel and tried to drown out the judge by singing out loud. The judge and the prosecutor agreed Reed should have a mental evaluation.
If he is convicted, Reed faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.
The woman was attacked just before 9:30 p.m. a week ago on a CTA blue line train.
Security video captured the man authorities identified as Reed holding a bottle and approaching the victim, who was sitting with her back to him. It showed him suddenly pouring a liquid over her head and trying to ignite it.
The woman, according to the complaint, fought him off and then ran toward the front of the train car with the man chasing after her.
The man quickly caught up with her and set the woman ablaze, the complaint said. He then “stood watching” as “her body was engulfed in flames."
The woman was “almost fully engulfed in flames” and tried to roll to put out the blaze, the complaint said.
She surviving a racial massacre, iconic civil rights leaders assassinated, the coronavirus, seeing a Black president and vice president be elected. Viola Ford Fletcher lived a dream.
One of the last surviving members of the Tulsa race massacre has passed away. She was hoping before death the U.S. Congress would honor the memory by paying reparations to her and the few remaining survivors of the Greenwood massacre.
Republicans especially from Oklahoma refuse to back any measure to return land or even acknowledge the massacre.
Viola Ford Fletcher, we failed you.
President Donald J. Trump, former presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton failed you. Congress has failed you. America has failed you and I hope in the future we will get elected leaders who care about the people who suffered here in the United States and not over in places like apartheid Israel.
She passed away at the age of 111.
The 1921 massacre left a stain on the Oklahoma city of Tulsa when it was then the Indian Territory. The colonialists forced indigenous people on government sanctioned reservations and forced Black and Asian residents into segregated communities.
Greenwood, known as The Black Wall Street was a thriving economic boom for Tulsa.
White men angered by allegations of rape of a white girl by a Black man decided to take their hate on Greenwood. At the time, even looking at white women or girls were enough to trigger mobs. On May 30, 1921, a young Black man named Dick Rowland was accused of assaulting a white elevator operator, Sarah Page. He was arrested the next morning.
The sensationalized story by a far right publication triggered a mob outside a lock up.
Black residents aided the sheriff and were armed to prevent the mob from making a public lynching. They ended up resisting the armed Black men. Throughout the night and the next morning, thousands of white rioters invaded the Greenwood District, looting and burning homes and businesses. Firefighters were turned away at gunpoint. Eyewitness accounts and a 2015 manuscript from attorney B.C. Franklin confirm that privately owned airplanes were used to drop firebombs on the neighborhood, in what is considered the first aerial bombing of an American city.
The massacre resulted in the deaths of an estimated 100 to 300 people, more than 800 injuries, and the destruction of over 35 city blocks, including 1,256 homes and numerous businesses. Approximately 10,000 Black residents were left homeless. The event was largely omitted from history books and public discussion for decades.
In the last couple of years, Fletcher has traveled internationally, testified before Congress and supported a lawsuit for reparations — all part of a campaign for accountability over the massacre that destroyed Tulsa, Oklahoma’s original “Black Wall Street” in 1921, when she was a child.
Now, at age 109, Fletcher is releasing a memoir about the life she lived in the shadow of the massacre, after a white mob laid waste to the once-thriving Black enclave known as Greenwood. The book will be published by Mocha Media Inc. on Tuesday and becomes widely available for purchase on Aug. 15.
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, she said fear of reprisal for speaking out had influenced years of near-silence about the massacre.
“Now that I’m an old lady, there’s nothing else to talk about,” Fletcher said. “We decided to do a book about it and maybe that would help.”
Don't Let Them Bury My Story.
Her memoir, “Don’t Let Them Bury My Story,” is a call to action for readers to pursue truth, justice and reconciliation no matter how long it takes. Written with graphic details of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre that she witnessed at age seven, Fletcher said she hoped to preserve a narrative of events that was nearly lost to a lack of acknowledgement from mainstream historians and political leaders.
“The questions I had then remain to this day,” Fletcher writes in the book. “How could you just give a mob of violent, crazed, racist people a bunch of deadly weapons and allow them — no, encourage them — to go out and kill innocent Black folks and demolish a whole community?”
“As it turns out, we were victims of a lie,” she writes.
Tensions between Tulsa’s Black and white residents inflamed when, on May 31, 1921, the white-owned Tulsa Tribune published a sensationalized news report of an alleged assault by a 19-year-old Black shoeshine on a 17-year-old white girl working as an elevator operator.
With the shoeshine under arrest, a Black militia gathered at a local jail to prevent a lynch mob from kidnapping and murdering him. Then, a separate violent clash between Black and white residents sparked an all-out war.
Over 18 hours, between May 31 and June 1, the enlarged mob carried out a scorched-earth campaign against Greenwood. The death toll has been estimated to be as high as 300. More than 35 city blocks were leveled, an estimated 191 businesses were destroyed, and roughly 10,000 Black residents were displaced.
In her memoir, Fletcher writes of the bumpy ride out of town in a horse-drawn buggy, as her family escaped the chaos. She witnessed a Black man being executed, his head exploded like “a watermelon dropped off the rooftop of a barn.”
The shooter had also fired his shotgun at her family’s buggy.
“We passed piles of dead bodies heaped in the streets,” she writes in the book. “Some of them had their eyes open, as though they were still alive, but they weren’t.”
Victims’ descendants believed that, once the conspiracy of silence around it was pierced decades later, justice and reparations for Tulsa’s Black community would follow. That hasn’t happened just yet — Fletcher and two other centenarian survivors are currently plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the city of Tulsa.
Ike Howard, Fletcher’s grandson and co-author of the memoir, said systemic racism has prevented Tulsa’s Black community from fully recovering from the massacre.
“They want to be made whole,” Howard said. “We speak for everybody that went through a similar situation, who are not here to tell their stories.”
“You can learn a lot from ‘Don’t Let Them Bury My Story.’ And we know that history can repeat itself if you don’t correct and reconcile issues,” he added.
Fletcher notes in her memoir just how much history she has lived through — from several virus outbreaks preceding the coronavirus pandemic, to the Great Depression of 1929 and the Great Recession of 2008 to every war and international conflict of the last seven decades. She has watched the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. lead the national Civil Rights Movement, seen the historic election of former President Barack Obama and witnessed the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Viola with then vice president Kamala Harris.
In 2020, Howard purchased his grandmother a brand new color TV for her birthday. Several months later, on Jan. 6, the images of the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol following the historic election of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris retraumatized her.
“With that horrific scene, all of what occurred back in 1921 in Greenwood came flooding back into my mind,” Fletcher writes in the book.
In the AP interview, Fletcher attributed her active lifestyle at an advanced age to her reliance on faith and family. While in New York last month to publicize the book with Howard and her younger brother, 102-year-old Hughes Van Ellis, Fletcher saw the cover of her memoir advertised on jumbo screens in Times Square.
Van Ellis, a massacre survivor and World War II veteran whose words from his 2021 testimony to Congress serve as the foreword to his sister’s memoir, said he believes justice is possible in his lifetime.
“We’re getting pretty close (to justice), but we aren’t close enough,” he said. “We’ve got a lot more work to do. I have to keep on battling. I’m fighting for myself and my people.”
A popular transgender beauty influncer was murdered by her boyfriend. I am assuming either he was afraid of the backlash from bigots or he was embarrassed to be seen with someone who identifies as transgender.
Girlalala was fatally shot in Florida after she got into an argument with her boyfriend last week, according to authorities.
Girlalala, 21, whose TikTok account has nearly 300,000 followers, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a car outside a home in Lauderdale Lakes, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Monday.
She was pronounced dead shortly afterward at a nearby hospital, according to arrest documents.
Girlalala and her boyfriend of three years, Shanoyd Whyte Jr., 25, were engaged in a verbal argument Friday that turned physical while inside Whyte's vehicle, authorities said. Girlalala was then shot while she was sitting in the car, according to the release.
Whyte told deputies that the couple argued frequently and that the argument began because Girlalala pulled his hair, the arrest documents say. He said he then pulled out his firearm but declined to provide further details, the documents say.
After Girlalala was shot, Whyte called 911, the arrest records say.
Whyte was arrested on the spot and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm, authorities said. A firearm was collected at the scene.
It is unclear whether Whyte has an attorney.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Motives.
Former Bethune-Cookman University linebacker charged in Girlalala's death.
The shooter thought his girlfriend was a woman.
The shooter thought he being tormented for being gay when he actually isn't.
The shooter thought he was attacked by the person.
These are the justifications of bigoted 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.
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 game is over for Shonoyd White.
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 right: White 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.
We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
Expect more gun violence.
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.

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 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.
Vince Offer is running for Congress as a Zionist Republican. He is making a run in the controversial redistricting of Texas.
Born Offer Shlomi (Hebrew: עופר שלומי; born April 25, 1964) is an Israeli-American actor, pitchman, media personality and public speaker. Offer's first major work was the 1999 comedy film The Underground Comedy Movie. He appears in television commercials for his own products including "ShamWow!", an absorbent towel; the "Slap Chop", a kitchen utensil; a lint roller called the "Schticky"; a liquid cleaner called "InVinceable"; and another kitchen utensil called "Crank Chop".
Offer was arrested years ago after an altercation with a woman. The Florida police claimed the altercation was with a prostitute. She allegedly tried to bite his tongue off after he got too cozy with her.
Since Zohran Mamdani won, the Israelis went completely bonkers. They are now motivated to run agent provocateurs.
The filing, received Friday, was submitted under the name Offer Vince "ShamWow" Shlomi.
Offer told Fox News Digital in an interview Sunday that his decision to run for office was ultimately motivated by a desire to "destroy wokeism" and as a tribute to the late Charlie Kirk, whom he called the original "woke buster." He added that the "political infighting in the country" eventually inspired him to seek office and "make America happy."
The 61-year-old Israeli-American entrepreneur is aiming to unseat Congressman John Carter (R-TX), the 84-year-old incumbent who is seeking re-election in the district. Carter's turf includes the northern Austin suburbs, Temple and Fort Hood.
Offer is now one of at least five candidates aiming to compete in the primary for Texas’ 31st Congressional District – a reliably red stronghold.
MAGAland civil war. Rep. John Carter (R-TX) faces five candidates in the upcoming primary. Carter supported Trump 100%. His age and the Republicans call for America Only will be his downfall. Carter is a Zionist who backs Israel's genocide.
Offer, president and CEO of the TV marketing company Square One Entertainment, skyrocketed to pop-culture fame in the 2000s with his high-energy pitch videos that helped make the super-absorbent "ShamWow" towel a household name.
His rise to fame, however, was accompanied by several high-profile controversies – including allegations of harassment and physical altercations – before he eventually stepped out of the spotlight in recent years and reportedly worked to clean up his image.
In 2009, Offer was arrested in Miami Beach after an alleged violent altercation with a sex worker – an incident that became tabloid fodder after police photos of his face injuries surfaced.
Earlier in his career, he faced legal battles tied to his 1999 underground comedy film "The Underground Comedy Movie."
In recent years, however, Offer has kept a lower profile as he shifted back into marketing and entrepreneurship.
We elected Donald J. Trump, a totally flawed man who is the epitome of white privilege, authoritarianism, fascism and elitism.
Obviously, like Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL) and Randy Fine (R-FL) need a friend. If the president does throw his support to Offer, expect this race to become a national race on how Trump’s governance and the crimes Israel committed become an issue this Midterm.
Jellybean Johnson passed away days after his birthday.
Prince's former band group The Time was a popular group in the mid-1980s.
The Time is an American funk rock band founded in Minneapolis in 1981. They contributed to the development of the Minneapolis sound, an eclectic fusion of funk, R&B, new wave, synth-pop and dance. Led by singer-songwriter Morris Day, the band members are known for having been close associates of musician Prince, and are arguably the most successful artists who have worked with him, achieving success with singles such as "Get It Up", "The Bird", "Cool", "777-9311", "Jungle Love" and "Jerk Out".
Alexander O'Neal, Morris Day, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Jesse Johnson were notified of a passing. Their longtime drummer and co founding member Jellybean Johnson passed away two days after celebrating his birthday.
Garry George "Jellybean" Johnson passed away from natural causes.
Best known as the drummer in the hit R&B band the Time, Johnson was a guitarist at heart, playing in Jay Bee and the Routine, St. Paul Peterson and the Minneapolis Funk All Stars and other Twin Cities bands. He collaborated with Prince, Janet Jackson and New Edition as well as local heroes Alexander O’Neal and Mint Condition.
The Time.
A pillar of the Minneapolis music scene, Johnson collapsed Friday at his Brooklyn Park home and died at North Memorial Health Hospital. He had turned 69 on Wednesday.
“He was an absolute icon,” said Paul Peterson, who played in bands with Johnson since 1983. “He not only was an architect of the Minneapolis Sound, but he mentored young players. He went out every night to see the next generation. He didn’t want to sit on the couch. Dude played every night because he loved it. It was his lifeblood.”
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame producer/songwriter Jimmy Jam called Johnson “the ambassador of Minneapolis music because he was immersed in it in every way.”
Marty Bragg, Johnson’s partner, took him to see the “Purple Rain” musical for his birthday after dinner at the Capital Grille in downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday.
On his birthday, Johnson wrote on Facebook: “I’ve been blessed to live a life shaped by music, community, and the love of people who believed in me long before the world knew my name. When I look back, I don’t first think about the big stages or awards — I think about The Way… that little community center on the North Side of Minneapolis where a bunch of young kids picked up instruments and discovered who we were meant to be.”
Doug Emhoff had to face criticism. No kid gloves for Usha Vance.
To be honest, their personal problems shouldn't an issue. Actions are more important than words. Personal matters of celebrities do not affect American workers or their families.
Americans should be more focused on their paychecks instead of some swinger vice president.
The Second Lady of the United States is the spouse of the Vice President of the United States.
Usha Vance is the wife of the 50th Vice President of the United States, James David Vance (nee Bowman). Vance, a former hedge fund advisor, author, media agitator and U.S. senator from Ohio became the 45th/47th President of the United States running mate in his 2024 election victory over former vice president Kamala Harris.
Vance, 39 is married to JD Vance, 41 since 2013. They have three children together. They have residences in Cincinnati, San Francisco, Washington, DC and their prior home in Virginia.
Usha is the first Asian American, first Indian American, first South Asian and one of the youngest second spouse.
Rumors at thr Naval Observatory.
Vance along with First Lady Melania Trump were at Camp Lejeune speaking to military families when the photographers in the junk food media noticed something.
Vance was spotted without her wedding band ring.
The duo was photographed on Nov. 19 walking together in North Carolina. And the second lady – the wife of Vice President JD Vance – was seen without her wedding ring, talking to the troops and to the first lady. Despite the online discourse, Vance has been pictured with and without her wedding band on numerous occasions.
By the time Friday, Nov. 21, rolled around, the split rumors surfaced on social media. Speculation about the state of the second couple's marriage intensified. But Vance, 39, is the first second lady of her kind, a reserved and hesitant public figure, more focused on motherhood than statesmanship.
Vance married Usha in 2013.
A spokeswoman for the second lady told USA TODAY in a statement Nov. 21 that Vance is "a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes." The Vances have three children: Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3.
Once viewed simply through the lens of their vows, Vance is among a growing bipartisan group of modern women in America who are bucking the constructs and constraints of political marriages.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, reimagined her role as "first partner," ditching the "lady" label due to gendered stereotypes. Michelle Obama has been outspoken during President Donald Trump's second term about the burden of being first lady. Rama Duwaji, married to New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, is an accomplished illustrator who never speaks to the press, offering statements through her artwork on Instagram.
Like Melania Trump, she rarely sits for interviews. Besides an hourlong appearance on Meghan McCain's podcast, sitting as the former "View" cohost announced her third pregnancy, Vance has skipped press stops since her husband took office.
"Interesting. Usha Vance minus wedding ring yesterday at Camp Lejeune," Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko said on X, incorrectly stating the day of Vance's visit. "Is JD sleeping on the couch?" the Democratic Party's official X account said.
Usha Vance skips wearing wedding ring. Why do we care?
Born and raised in San Diego, Usha Chilukuri was a child of Hindu Indian immigrants and both of her parents are educators.
The hug seen around the world.
The Vances met as students at Yale Law School, where she excelled. "She seemed some sort of genetic anomaly, a combination of every positive quality a human being should have: bright, hardworking, tall, and beautiful," her husband wrote in his 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," calling the second lady his "spirit guide."
Before President Trump picked her husband as his running mate, Vance was a lawyer at Munger, Tolles & Olson, a firm that specializes in litigation and corporate law. After Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Vance moved her family from their home in Cincinnati's East Walnut Hills neighborhood to the United States Naval Observatory, the traditional residence of the vice president's family.
During her time as second lady, Vance has still been the subject of rumors about the health of her marriage. Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg, now running for Congress, garnered backlash after joking that he was expecting a baby with Vance.
The internet ignited in furor after Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, hugged her husband. Vice President Vance made headlines last month for saying he hoped his wife would convert to Catholicism.
"Do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved in by church? Yeah, I honestly, I do wish that, because I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way," JD Vance said, speaking at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on Oct. 29.
Usha hugs Erika Kirk too.
"But if she doesn't, then God says, 'Everybody has free will,' and so that doesn't cause a problem for me. That's something you work out with your friends, with your family, with the person that you love," he added.
Then, of course, the missing ring.
There are countless reasons why somebody may choose not to wear their wedding band. They took it off to be cleaned. It felt too tight. They left it on the bathroom counter before going to bed that night. In the movies, the wife slips off her wedding ring after an argument or fight. In real life, many people just forget.
Vance is busy doing the dishes and giving the kids baths. In America, it could also just be that the second lady's ring and narrative belong to her first.
