Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the former vice presidential nominee in the 2024 presidential race really got under President Donald J. Trump's skin. The president resorted to calling Walz retarded because the state has a large Somali population.
After the National Guard attack by an Afghani national who had training from the CIA, the president ordered a permanent pause on asylum seekers from countries the U.S. and Israel have issues with.
ICE has been targeting Dearborn, Minneapolis and Dallas.
Walz who has a son with down syndrome and autism declared that the president has cognitive decline and they need to research his MRI. The president now dogged with concerns of erratic behavior, unpredictable behavior and endless contortions, Trump now is promising he will release his MRI results.
“If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” the Republican president said Sunday during an exchange with reporters as he traveled back to Washington from Florida.
He said the results of the MRI were “perfect.”
The White House has declined to detail why Trump had an MRI during his physical in October or on what part of his body.
The press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has said that the president received “advanced imaging” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center “as part of his routine physical examination” and that the results showed Trump remains in “exceptional physical health.”
Trump added Sunday that he has “no idea” on what part of his body he got the MRI.
“It was just an MRI,” he said. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a medical imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed pictures of organs and soft tissues inside the body, such as the brain, spinal cord, nerves, muscles, and ligaments. Unlike CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it useful for diagnosing and monitoring various conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors. During the procedure, you must lie very still inside a tunnel-shaped machine, which can be loud, for the duration of the scan, which can take 20 to 90 minutes.
President Donald J. Trump is the emboldenment of white privilege, entitlement, elitism and status quo politics. The president and Republicans are destructive to the very freedoms they claim they support. They are big government nannies, a bunch of freaks and just a bunch of flawed people.
The very people who want to hold criminals accountable allow Trump continue to commit criminal acts without impunity.
Even when they try to bring forth people of color to make the case against Democrats, they keep on failing on pushing a message to get people of color to vote for them.
They are constantly distracting us with punch down politics, degrading ideas and regurgitating bullshit as facts.
JaQuon Stembridge was going to be the Republican answer to Black concerns about the Democratic Party. He was going to be the voice that appealed to Black youth voters who felt the Democrats abandoned them. Stembridge chairs the Georgia Teen Republicans, a high school organization, and is also a member of the Georgia Young Republicans. Text messages reviewed from the incident reportedly show Stembridge communicating with a 14-year-old and asking to meet even after the minor’s age was revealed.
Guess that moment to be on Fox, Newsmax and the far right agitating podcasts are apparently over.
It took a few texts with a vilgiante online predator outlet to bring this potential sexual predator down.
Stembridge was elected as an assistant general secretary to the Georgia Republican Party and was a delegate to the Georgia Young Republicans.

Georgia’s Republican GOP Secretary JaQuon Stembridge is now exposed in a video that shows him attempting to meet a 14-year-old boy and trying to r*pe him.
The video was filmed during a planned meetup in Athens, GA, and once it began spreading online, he immediately locked down… pic.twitter.com/HFenKXTnyU
The encounter with the Pred Poachers was in Athens. He was a student at the University of Georgia. The vigilante pretended to be a 14 year old boy on Grindr. Stembridge quickly saw interest in the decoy and immediately started chatting.
The man would ask the decoy for inappropriate pictures and a meet up. He even showed his baggage online. So they arranged a meet up. But it did not go the way Stembridge wanted.
Video footage from the confrontation captures Stembridge visibly flustered and making repeated excuses.
“No, I don’t, but I’m a— Are you 19 or are you 17?” the decoy asks sharply, blocking Stembridge’s path near the car. Stembridge stammers, “I swear to God. Okay, then talk to me then. Don’t lie to me, I swear to God. Let me see the ID.”
The decoy holds up a phone displaying screenshots of explicit text exchanges. Messages reportedly include phrases like “I can’t get around for” and “On like 11 months,” along with propositions for a meetup. The decoy presses, “Bruh, if you’re nineteen, just say it. Nigga, you’ll get way more respect when we being honest. Oh my God, look, come here.” Stembridge responds desperately, “I don’t even have car in my neck. I swear to God, you can call my mom. I swear to God, I’m only 17, just please.”
As the decoy continues to demand proof of age, Stembridge fumbles and admits, “I’m in college. I skipped a grade so. I SWEAR TO GOD.” The decoy calls out inconsistencies in his story, saying, “Bruh, alright, I’m seventeen. My birthday is July 12th.” Stembridge mutters, “July twelve of what? I’m 18,” before ultimately acknowledging the situation, “You know what I was doing. Bruh.”
The decoy insists Stembridge take responsibility: “Let me be 100. Let me let you be 100 because you already know what that shit is wrong. I already peeped your behavior, nigga driving around trying to like niggas. That ain’t cool. Ain’t none of that going on in Athens, bruh. Delete the profile or whatever.” Stembridge, hands raised, appears to surrender as the decoy demands, “Apologize for apologize. You’re gonna do that again?”
No arrests or charges have been filed, and Stembridge has not commented publicly while keeping his social media accounts private.
The Georgia GOP has confirmed that they will fill the vacant position according to party bylaws. Stembridge’s resignation ends his tenure in multiple youth leadership roles, raising significant concerns about the future of the Georgia Teen Republicans.
The president claims everything is fine when its not.
President Donald J. Trump wants you to praise him for having gasoline at $2.259 a gallon or less. In several states the average price of gasoline is $2.799 but in states like mine, Ohio, I seen prices at $2.159 a gallon.
So I guess paying $30 dollars for gasoline is better than $55.
Fuck that shit.
What about everything else?
Food prices have not went down. The average price for a loaf of bread is $1.79 up from $1.25. Eggs are $3.29, down from $4.85. The price of milk is $2.99 up from $2.79.
Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Discount Sunday, Cyber Monday and whatever else they want to promote in this decline in capitalism. The holiday shopping season is about to become extinct.
I am rushing to buy expensive products with these damn tariffs. I am not impressed by the ways these companies are secretly upselling products that originally priced lower when they were sent to distribute.
Target, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Kroger notoriously raise prices or cover lower prices to masquerade them as deals or affordable.
Republicans got the warning when they lost the New Jersey, Virginia and New York City races. The resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) broke MAGAland. She let off a series of parting shots by dismissing the president's approach to solving the affordability crisis and warning that Democrats will impeach him a third time for the chaos.
Democrats seeking a rebound are still infighting over generational gaps. The biggest issues the Democrats are having is the problems with status quo and establishment figures leading the party to failure. The progressives are tired of the centrist/moderate way and fear mongering about other economic strategies (i.e. socialism).
Younger Democratic voters embrace socialism over capitalism. They strongly believe that capitalism is creating economic inequality and greed.
People of color believe that the white male leadership structure is destroying the country.
White men are hoarding the wealth, aggregating wars, pushing for regressive policies to silence speech, causing global instability through sanctions on Black or Brown nations, driving up the opioid crisis and reestablishing white nationalism as the narrative for U.S. policies.
White male leadership was on full display when the Campbell's Soup Company executive denouncing the company and calling the products as food for "poor people."
Martin Bally, the vice president of the information security department was recorded on audio making remarks about the products.
He is on suspension pending a possible termination. That means he is facing cannon fire.
Robert Garza, a former Campbell Soup cybersecurity analyst, as part of a lawsuit filed in Michigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court.
Garza said he captured the audio during a November 2024 meeting at a restaurant, Local 4 News Detroit reported. Fox Business added that the whistleblower was reluctant but it was a necessary in the exposing of greed, big business and unfair ethics
He said he initially kept the recording private but later reported it to his supervisor. Garza was fired about 20 days later and is now accusing Campbell’s of retaliation and maintaining a racially hostile work environment, according to the complaint.
America is so tired of the status quo.
The safety net: It's this thing that helps the middle class and lower class. The safety net prevents Americans from rioting and/or looting. The safety net stops people from shoplifting from stores to feed their families.
The safety net prevents a person from robbing you of your luxuries.
The safety net is only 10% of the federal spending. The way some people put it, 50% of the federal spending goes to food stamps and welfare. Some people believe that the safety net is making people lazy. And this is the stuff I've heard from people who think that it will never happen to them. They get their arousal over a person using an EBT card to pay for name brand items or expensive food.
With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.
Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for a potential economic recession.
Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!
Expect Mohammed Ibrahim to tell the world how cruel Israel is.
The release of a Florida teen who visited family in the occupied West Bank was released with visible signs of torture.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Ambassador of Israel Mike Huckabee, Rep. Mike Haridopolos (R-FL), Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL), Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel haven't said a damn thing about this.
Mohammed Zaber Ibrahim, 16 was finally released from Israeli torture camps.
They claimed he was throwing rocks at military vehicles and thus lead to the arrest.
Ibrahim was arrested by Israeli soldiers during a night raid on his family's home in the occupied West Bank in February 2025. He turned 16 while in the torture camp.
Sen. Chris van Hollen (D-MD), the only Democratic lawmaker who made headlines demanding answers to why U.S. embassy workers were denied access.
Why Ibrahim was denied access to his family and his lawyers?
Israel says it was basically for protection of its citizens to not discuss why an American was arrested in a night raid in occupied Palestine.
Ibrahim is Palestinian and American, born in Florida. His family lives in both Palm Bay, Florida and the West Bank village of Silwad. He is the youngest of five children. His cousin, Sayfollah Musallet, was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in July 2025 while visiting relatives in the village of Sinjil. According to other relatives, Ibrahim was not informed of his cousin's death as of October 2025.
This is a redendering of torture at the hands of Israel.
Since the genocide on October 7, 2023, Israel has carried out mass arrests and detentions of Palestinians. Thousands have been arrested in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and in Israel, based on alleged militant activity, offensive social media postings, or arbitrarily.
News outlets and human rights organizations both within and outside of Israel reported that thousands of Gazan workers in Israel were detained in the weeks following October 7.
Additionally, Israel has detained or subjected to enforced disappearance residents of the Gaza Strip, arrested Palestinians in the West Bank and Arab citizens of Israel, and detained fighters captured inside Israel. Concerns have been raised regarding the legality, secrecy, and conditions of many detentions, including allegations of widespread mistreatment, torture, and sexual assault.
The U.S State Department announced on September 28, 2025 that it was appointing a dedicated official to work on Ibrahim's case. This followed a series of high-profile meetings on Capitol Hill and a press conference with members of Ibrahim's family alongside Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and representatives from the families of American citizens killed by the Israeli military or Israeli settlers: Ayลenur Ezgi Eygi, Sayfollah Musallet, Tawfiq Abdel Jabbar, and Rachel Corrie.
Eygi's sister Ozden Bennett met with Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), telling the lawmaker that Ibrahim “feels like my little brother,” adding: “I can’t do anything for my sister, but we can help him.”
Antisemitism is becoming a weapon that is running out of bullets.
The word has 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."
When the right is claiming the government is run by Zionists, the calls of being antisemitic are loud by the "woke right." But now the far right is seeing what the left is seeing. We had enough of it! Israel has went too far and the American people want the country out of business, permanently.
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 their religious beliefs, there is no such thing as antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.
The end is near.
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. Trump is the emboldenment of white privilege, elitism and a decline of American dominance. The white leadership structure is collapsing.
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.
Lung cancer. Anyway, Texas asshole Troy Nehls is retiring to spend time with family. His twin brother runs in his place. This asshole wants to strip Americans healthcare.
This rotten piece of shit is retiring from the House.
This Texas shithead and MAGAland is out.
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) is leaving after his term is up in 2026. He joins a long list of Republicans who are heading for the doors after a hectic second term of Donald J. Trump.
His twin brother Trever, the current Sheriff of Fort Bend County is going to run to replace him.
“I want to thank my brother for his decades of service in the military and in law enforcement where we served together,” Trever Nehls wrote.
“District 22 needs a Representative who will follow in Troy’s footsteps and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump to defend our conservative values, secure the border, protect our families, and oppose the reckless and radical agenda that Democrats continue to press upon the American people. I’m ready to take up that fight,” he added.
According to a Texas Legislative Council analysis of new district lines, Trump won 59% of the vote in the district in 2024 and 57% in 2020.
Uh, two assholes.
After more than 30 years in law enforcement serving and protecting my community as a police officer, constable, Fort Bend County Sheriff, an Army veteran, and six years representing this district in Congress, I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride…
Nehls, a cigar smoking, Confederate flag waving, former law enforcement officer and sheriff is a fierce backer of Trump. He supported overturning the 2020 election, President Donald J. Trump's pardoning of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, deporting immigrants, condemning socialism, supporting Israel's genocide, tax breaks to billionaires, cutting the safety net, repealing the Affordable Care Act and physically abusing suspects.
Nehls co-sponsored legislation that proposed putting the president on the $100 bill and renaming Washington’s Dulles International Airport after Trump, said he came to his decision after consulting his family during the Thanksgiving holiday — and that he intends to “focus on my family and return home after this Congress.”
Nehls said he called Trump to let him know of his plans.
The brothers dim. Troy and Trever Nehls with Trump.
“President Trump has always been a strong ally for our district and a true friend, and I wanted him to hear it from me first,” Nehls wrote on X.
“Serving this country in the military, serving our community in law enforcement, and serving this district in Congress has been the honor of my life. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and your prayers,” Nehls added.
Nehls has served in Congress since 2021. He won his election in 2020 with 51.5% of his district’s vote, later increasing his margin to win more than 62% in 2022 and 2024.
Nehls’ announcement adds to uncertainty for House Republicans. Their majority — 219 to 213 — will shrink after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., resigns effective early January. A number of other Republicans — and Democrats — have said they will retire or seek other office next year.
He will not be missed.
These morons are leaving with lifetime healthcare, a pension and kickbacks. It is time for a change. Hopefully, Republicans or the sacrificial goat with the Democratic Party elect someone who represents Texas and not fucking Israel or special interest groups.
The race between a billionaire tech pharma entrepreneur and a medical doctor who steered Ohio out of a pandemic during the first term.
Jim Tressel, Jim Renacci, Tim Ryan, Anthony Gonzales, Dave Yost, Jon Husted and Sherrod Brown declined or withdrawn. No one is interested in running for governor of a depressing state.
I guess these two will become either the governor-elect or sacifical goat.
Republican Vivek Ramaswamy and Democrat Dr. Amy Acton will likely be Ohio gubernatorial nominees. Both could end up the first.
I have this race Solid Republican. But things could change if Ramaswamy proves to be more than just a flawed human being.
In the race for Ohio governor, usually a Republican will often win it. The last Democratic governor was Ted Strickland. He only had one term as governor. He lost to John Kasich, a former congressman, Fox personality and radio host.
Kasich became a prominent critic of President Donald J. Trump. He tried to run for president in 2016 and failed to secure the nomination. He reluctantly supported the president in his first term.
In 2020, he endorsed Joe Biden for president and Kamala Harris in 2024.
Kasich's successor Mike DeWine also reluctantly backed Trump. He endorsed him in 2016, 2020 and 2024. DeWine, a former congressman, former senator, former attorney general and incumbent governor finishing his term is souring on the president.
He is quietly telling Ohio Republicans that the state is losing to North Carolina.
Ohio once a thriving bellweather state has become an old, white, out of touch, out of position rust belt state. A state with no future other than the tired status quo of white men running things into the ground.
Amy Acton gain fame in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic in Trump’s first term.
Ohio legalized gambling, marijuana, sports betting, allowing paid commissions for namesake students in sports and open carry laws. They banned phones while in school or driving, placed age restrictions on adult entertainment sites, want Charlie Kirk-themed legislation taught in schools, more repulsive gerrymandering, repealing marijuana laws, bans on women's reproductive rights, bans on transgender children playing sports, prayer and forced religion in public schools and bans on independent history (aka critical race theory).
Yet, this state is ranked very high in gun violence.
We have so many companies leaving the state. We have so many people fleeing the state due to lack of good paying jobs. People are seeing how Ohio is lost because of its natural resources being gobbled up by greed.
All these data centers, the indefinite pause of the Intel plant, constant infrastructure failures and the consequences of Republican leadership has made Ohio lack innovation.
Ohio is expecting more deadly weather events.
Ohio has declined rapidly in population. Of the six major cities, Columbus and Cincinnati are growing. Cleveland, Toledo, Akron and Dayton are declining.
DeWine was successful in the coronavirus pandemic of 2019 to 2022. With Dr. Amy Acton by his side, DeWine successfully pulled Ohio out of its worst.
Acton was vilified by the junk food media. She got death threats for just telling Ohioans to be safe during a pandemic.
She quit the position of Ohio chief medical aid under DeWine. She has advocate for children's health and affordability in medical coverage. She is Jewish and lives in Bexley, a suburb of Columbus. She is likely the strongest Ohio Democratic candidate.
Ramaswamy ran for president in 2024 and eventually dropped out to endorse Trump.
Trump endorsed Ramaswamy for governor and his funding is growing. He is also self funding some of his coffers. He and his family live in Indian Hill, a suburb of Cincinnati.
If he wins, he could be the first Indian American, first person of color and one of the youngest elected governors.
If she wins, she could be the first woman, first Jewish and first medical doctor in a generation to be governor of Ohio.
What could become an issue for the voters?
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.
If these issues become a factor in the U.S. Midterms, expect more Ohioans to vote against the establishment figures who drove the vehicle off a cliff. DeWine, Kasich and Bob Taft would often moderate their stances during their roles as governor. Ramaswamy could be more MAGA than Ohio.
If both Acton and Ramaswamy support Israel, count me out. Period. I will vote independent and avoid the Zionist influence.
They all could have been at home, but Trump put their lives in danger.
The United States has surpassed a record of mass shootings.
Over 465 mass shootings in the United States. President Donald J. Trump went to Truth Social to rant about the aftermath of two national guards members being shot in Washington, DC.
A lone gunman shot at two guard members who were stationed near the White House.
The suspect was shot and injured during the attack.
The suspect was taken into custody, and the suspect was reported to be seriously injured, though not life-threatening, after being shot four times. The suspect is not cooperating with investigators. The detained suspect was identified as a 29-year-old, an Afghan national from Khost Province who is alleged to have used a handgun in the attack. He entered the United States in September 2021 and was last reported living in Bellingham, Washington, having overstayed his visa under Operation Allies Welcome. The suspect had applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted it in April 2025.
In Afghanistan, the suspect worked for a Central Intelligence Agency-backed "Zero Unit" of the Afghan National Directorate of Security in the Kandahar province.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The two West Virginia National Guard members were identified as 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe and 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. On November 27, 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi reported that both soldiers had "come through surgery."
Beckstrom would later pass away from her injuries.
Trump goes into his dottering rants.
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!
The National Guard deployment was an unnecessary use of resources from the start.
Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser have long complained about the president using the National Guard for unnecessary resources. It is a waste of resources.
Trump announced on Thursday evening that he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” in the wake of the shooting of two National Guardsmen by a suspected Afghan national.
Trump age is showing.
“A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher,” wrote Trump in a Thanksgiving message posted to Truth Social. “This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America.”
The president went on to accuse Somalian refugees of “completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota,” before calling the governor of the state, Tim Walz, “seriously retarded.”
What does an isolated incident in Washington have to do with Minnesota, Somali or Somali-Americans or even Gov. Tim Walz?
The real problem in the country is gun violence. The real threat in the country is white men, white boys and white women tears. White leadership is definitely on the decline.
Christian and Jewish extremists are trying to incorporate their perversion of faith into governance. The need to continuously punch down the vulnerable is going to backfire.
The status quo of fear based politics is going to be our downfall.
Like who wants to come to this clusterfuck of a country with a leader so incompetent, he can't even stand fucking straight.

Arizona man celebrates another Thanksgiving with a woman who accidentally text him thinking he was her grandson. She is battling cancer and he is letting the country know he will support her for life.
Jamal Hinton and Wanda Dench celebrate another Thanksgiving together.
Wanda accidentally texted Jamal to come to dinner. At first Jamal was going to just ignore the text but went along and felt that she would consider it a wrong number and move on.
Wanda said to Jamal come over and get a plate.
Since that moment, Jamal and his wife Mikaela have visited Wanda every Thanksgiving. Wanda had lost her husband Lonnie to COVID-19 and it has an impact on both of them.
The two remain life long friends and Jamal promised to keep Wanda protected for life.

Jimmy Cliff, the charismatic reggae pioneer and actor who preached joy, defiance and resilience in such classics as “Many Rivers to Cross,” “You Can Get it If You Really Want” and “Vietnam” and starred in the landmark movie “The Harder They Come,” has died at 81.
His wife, Latifa Chambers, confirmed his death Monday. Chambers and Cliff’s three children also posted a message on his social media sites that he died from a “seizure followed by pneumonia.” Additional information was not immediately available.
“”To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career,” the announcement reads in part. “He really appreciated each and every fan for their love.”
Cliff was a native Jamaican with a spirited tenor and a gift for catchphrases and topical lyrics who joined Kingston’s emerging music scene in his teens and helped lead a movement in the 1960s that included such future stars as Bob Marley, Toots Hibbert and Peter Tosh. By the early 1970s, he had accepted director Perry Henzell’s offer to star in a film about an aspiring reggae musician, Ivanhoe “Ivan” Martin, who turns to crime when his career stalls. Henzell named the movie “The Harder They Come” after suggesting the title as a possible song for Cliff.
“Ivanhoe was a real-life character for Jamaicans,” Cliff told Variety in 2022, upon the film’s 50th anniversary. “When I was a little boy, I used to hear about him as being a bad man. A real bad man. No one in Jamaica, at that time, had guns. But he had guns and shot a policeman, so he was someone to be feared. However, being a hero was the manner in which Perry wanted to make his name — an anti-hero in the way that Hollywood turns its bad guys into heroes.”
“The Harder They Come,” delayed for some two years because of sporadic funding, was the first major commercial release to come out of Jamaica. It sold few tickets in its initial run, despite praise from Roger Ebert and other critics. But it now stands as a cultural touchstone, with a soundtrack widely cited as among the greatest ever and as a turning point in reggae’s worldwide rise.
For a brief time, Cliff rivaled Marley as the genre’s most prominent artist. On an album that included Toots and the Maytals, the Slickers and Desmond Dekker, Cliff was the featured artist on four out of 11 songs, all well placed in the reggae canon.
“Sitting in Limbo” was a moody, but hopeful take on a life in restless motion. “You Can Get it If You Really Want” and the title song were calls for action and vows of final payments: “The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all.” Cliff otherwise lets out a weary cry on “Many Rivers to Cross,” a gospel-style testament that he wrote after confronting racism in England in the 1960s.
“It was a very frustrating time. I came to England with very big hopes, and I saw my hopes fading,” he told Rolling Stone in 2012.
The music lives on
Cliff’s career peaked with “The Harder They Come,” but, after a break in the late 1970s, he worked steadily for decades, whether session work with the Rolling Stones or collaborations with Wyclef Jean, Sting and Annie Lennox among others. Meanwhile, his early music lived on. The Sandinistas in Nicaragua used “You Can Get it If You Really Want” as a campaign theme and Bruce Springsteen helped expand Cliff’s U.S. audience with his live cover of the reggae star’s “Trapped,” featured on the million-selling charity album from 1985, “We Are the World.” Others performing his songs included John Lennon, Cher and UB40.
Cliff was nominated for seven Grammys and won twice for best reggae album: in 1986 for “Cliff Hanger” and in 2012 for the well-named “Rebirth,” widely regarded as his best work in years. His other albums included the Grammy-nominated “The Power and the Glory,” “Humanitarian” and the 2022 release “Refugees.” He also performed on Steve Van Zandt’s protest anthem, “Sun City,” and acted in the Robin Williams comedy “Club Paradise,” for which he contributed a handful of songs to the soundtrack and sang with Elvis Costello on the rocker “Seven Day Weekend.”
His other honors included induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Jamaica’s Order of Merit. In 2019, the Jamaican government renamed Montego Bay’s popular “hip strip” roadway Jimmy Cliff Boulevard. Two years later, Jamaican officials presented Cliff with an official passport in recognition of his status as a Reggae Ambassador.
He was born James Chambers in the parish of Saint James and, like Ivan Martin in “The Harder They Come,” moved to Kingston in his youth to become a musician. In the early 1960s, Jamaica was gaining its independence from Britain and the early sounds of reggae — first called ska and rocksteady — were catching on. Calling himself Jimmy Cliff, he had a handful of local hits, including “King of Kings” and “Miss Jamaica,” and, after overcoming the kinds of barriers that upended Martin, was called on to help represent his country at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City.
“(Reggae) is a pure music. It was born of the poorer class of people,” he told Spin in 2022. “It came from the need for recognition, identity and respect.”
Approaching stardom
His popularity grew over the second half of the 1960s, and he signed with Island Records, the world’s leading reggae label. Island founder Chris Blackwell tried in vain to market him to rock audiences, but Cliff still managed to reach new listeners. He had a hit with a cover of Cat Stevens’ “Wild World,” and reached the top 10 in the UK with the uplifting “Wonderful World, Beautiful People.” Cliff’s widely heard protest chant, “Vietnam,” was inspired in part by a friend who had served in the war and returned damaged beyond recognition.
His success as a recording artist and concert performer led Henzell to seek a meeting with him and flatter him into accepting the part: “You know, I think you’re a better actor than singer,” Cliff remembered him saying. Aware that “The Harder They Come” could be a breakthrough for Jamaican cinema, he openly wished for stardom, although Cliff remained surprised by how well known he became.
“Back in those days there were few of us African descendants who came through the cracks to get any kind of recognition,′ he told The Guardian in 2021. “It was easier in music than movies. But when you start to see your face and name on the side of the buses in London that was like: ‘Wow, what’s going on?’”
