The iconic New Jersey principal which inspired the Morgan Freeman movie Lean On Me passed away.
Joe Louis Clark was an educator and principal of Eastside High School in Peterson, New Jersey. His aggressive approach to stopping gangs and drugs from infiltrating the school made him a hero in the city. The unconventional and controversial disciplinary measures got him in some serious heat with residents and the school board.
He passed away at the age of 88.
Clark was primarily a disciplinarian in nature, focused on encouraging school pride and good behavior, although many thought of him as an activist.
Clark would use a bullhorn and a bat to get tough on unruly students. He expelled over 300 students who were frequently tardy or absent fro school, sold or used drugs, or caused trouble in school.
Clark’s no nonsense approach had improved the Eastside student scores.
Clark grew up in Newark and attended Central High School.
Morgan Freeman had portrayed Clark in Lean On Me.
Clark leaves behind three children. His son Joe J. Clark, Joetta Clark and Hazel Clark.
Joetta and Hazel are retired athletic runners.
Morgan Freeman who portrayed Clark in the 1980s movie won praise for his role.
In the movie it included Freeman, Beverly Todd, Robert Guillaume, Lynne Thigpen, Michael Beach, Karen Malina White, Jermaine “Huggy Hopkins and Tony Todd.
Republican congressman-elect Luke Letlow died of COVID-19.

END SARS NOW!

BLOGGER IS TRASH!
Tragedy happens a few days before the swearing in.
Rep-Elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) passed away at the age of 41 after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. His campaign spokesman and family confirmed he passed away at Ochsner-LSU Health Shreveport on Tuesday.
“Congressman-elect Luke Letlow, 41, passed away this evening at Ochsner-LSU Health Shreveport due to complications from COVID-19,” Letlow’s spokesman Andrew Bautsch wrote on his social media.
Letlow’s family, he said, “appreciates the numerous prayers and support over the past days but asks for privacy during this difficult and unexpected time.”
Two Republicans confirmed to CNN that the future lawmaker didn’t make it.
He tested positive after being diagnosed 10 days earlier.
I also believe strongly in the power of prayer, and our family has been blessed by a praying army of people. While here, I've learned firsthand how important plasma and blood donations are during this pandemic.
For those who’ve had Covid already, your plasma is ESPECIALLY needed by those who are suffering. I cannot stress this enough. Please consider saving lives by going out and donating at your local blood bank.
Before he went into the ICU, he was being treated at St. Francis Hospital in Monroe.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, President-elect Joe Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Gov. John Bel Edwards and the Louisiana Republican Party were notified of Letlow’s passing.
Bel Edwards ordered flags to fly at half staff in honor of Letlow.
The governor will now issue a special election to elect someone to represent the 5th Congressional District. The district went to Trump by 40 points.
There will be a primary and special election. If a candidate fails to win over 50% of the vote, the state issues a run off election.
The district is a hold for Republicans.
I guess his “love for Trump” put him in the dirt.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19. A vaccine is being made. It could prevent future spread if issued right. Pfizer and Mordena have vaccines and the United States have officially greenlighted distribution. The vaccines will be going to first responders and those who care for the elderly. Please have patience, the vaccine will be distributed in three phases. The elderly, the first responders, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, President-elect Joe Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and several lawmakers will be treated first. Those with serious medical conditions. The final ones will be younger and those who at least are healthy.
Will the Republicans ever take things seriously?
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
“So while we’ve been cautious and I think both the state and federal level have taken numerous precautions for COVID-19. We’re now at a place if we do not open our economy we’re in real danger.”
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you notice someone or you having signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
Letlow leaves behind a wife and two small children.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
16. Retail is now mandating workers and shoppers to wear facial protection. If you are continuing to not follow company policies when it comes to wearing facial protection, you can be banned from their establishment. Walmart, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Best Buy and other companies are now requiring facial protection in their businesses.
17. Have patience with those in the healthcare industry, service industry and law enforcement. They are operating at limited staff. Those who work at restaurants, casinos, media companies, landscaping, construction and first responders are working to serve and help you. But note, that they are putting themselves at risk as well of catching the coronavirus. Respect those who have to work in this. There are companies working on producing a vaccine. They will produce a vaccine that is safe and effective before usage. See 19.
18. Some hand sanitizers are considered dangerous to your health. Methanol-based hand sanitizer could be toxic to those with weaken immune systems or allergies. The Food and Drug Administration have warned of methanol contamination. Some products made in Mexico and China may be dangerous. There are some people ingesting hand sanitizer. See 19.
Letlow found irony.
19. Please do not ingest or inject sanitizer, bleach or hydroxychloroquine into your body. There is no cure for the coronavirus. Scientists are working on creating a safe vaccine to treat the coronavirus.
20. Hold your state and federal lawmakers accountable for not taking the threat seriously. Donald J. Trump deliberately ignored the threat. In a series of audiotapes produced by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward, Trump was warned about the threat from the jump. He downplayed it because he didn't want to lose the trade deal and force Americans to take precautions. Now six months since declaring the pandemic we have over 250,000 dead and over 9 million infected. Republican lawmakers are trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and end the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act because of their stupid principles. It's important that you get go out and vote.
21. THE MASK DOESN'T IMPALE BREATHING! YOU CAN FUCKING BREATHE THROUGH A MASK! THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A MASK BEING A THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THOSE WEARING THEM PROPERLY. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THE MASK ABOVE YOUR NOSE AND COVER COMPLETELY YOUR CHIN.
22. YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID! MISINFORMATION IS PROBABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT COMES TO A PANDEMIC.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!

New York Post calls for Trump to concede and save the Republican senate majority.

BLOGGER IS TRASH!
Rupert Murdoch’s trash tabloid The New York Post has turned on President Donald J. Trump.
The election has passed and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be in the White House. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will serve their remaining days as the nation’s leaders.
In their headline cover, “The Post says Mr. President … STOP THE INSANITY -- You lost the election -- here’s how to save your legacy.”
The conservative leaning rag launched a broadside at the president.
The editorial says that Trump needs to stop being a sore loser and do something productive on his way out. They aimed at his golfing while the country was facing economic collapse. They said that their endorsement of him will stand but they fear that if he continues to push baseless conspiracies about the election, many of his Republican allies will face defeat.
Murdoch is ready to move on past Trump. He found antagonizing Biden more profitable.
Fox News has already been running nonstop “scandals” about Hunter Biden.
They plan on pushing conspiracies about Biden’s health.
They ask for the president to help Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) keep the Senate in the Republican’s control. They believe if Trump’s impact could bring more Blacks, Hispanics and Asians to the nearly White Republican Party.
It’s a worthless rag and a pathetic attempt to rewrite the historial destruction Trump and Republicans left for the Democratic president in waiting.
Trust me, the New York Post was doing Trump a favor not a criticism.
The moment she knew her life will be changed forever. This idiot attacked jazz star Keyon Harrold and his son. She claimed his son stole her phone. Turns out he didn't and now she's labeled SOHO Karen.

Again, the Karens are outrageous. The new meme for white people acting foolish in front of people of color. The white people who call the law on individuals minding their business.
The white people who feel entitled to take actions into their own hands. The white people who refuse to follow the rules when it applies to everyone.
The white people who accuse others of criminal acts all the while they’re doing it themselves.
Okay, this woman is facing scrutiny and possible criminal charges for lunging at a Black teen and his father. She accused the teen of stealing a phone. It turns out that she left it in an Uber vehicle and made a baseless accusation.
Now the video went viral and folks are trying to confirm if the woman is the one who posted on social media her stay at a hotel that the Black teen was staying at.
Keyon Harrold, Sr. is a Grammy-winning jazz singer. He and his son, Keyon, Jr. were staying at the Arlo Hotel in New York’s SoHo district when this woman wrongly accused the teen of stealing her phone.
Still shocked that woman attacked me and my father.
The woman then attacks the teen while Harrold was filming on his phone.
“I don’t know what would have happened if my dad wasn’t there. These past few days, still kind of shell-shocked, but I’m hanging in there,” Keyon, Jr. said to GMA.
“For me I was confused because I had never seen that lady ever and I didn’t know what to do at the moment. That’s why I was happy to have my dad here to help me,” he said.
The video went viral and it forced the NYPD and Manhattan prosecutor’s office to investigate the matter.
My best friend’s son & his Dad were staying at @ArloHotels in Soho and decided to go downstairs for breakfast. They were assaulted by this KAREN, accusing their 14 y/o son of stealing her phone... that she later learned she’d left in an Uber. She must be penalized for this! 🤬 pic.twitter.com/YSjsIL7i0q

They got assistance from Benjamin Crump. He has been dealing with a string of high profile incidents in 2020 and has continued to pressure Congress to pass police reform.
The video didn’t show the aftermath of the incident. The woman would eventually get her phone returned by the Uber driver by the hotel manager.
Keyon Harrold plays at a local nightclub.
Arlo Hotels apologized to Harrold and his family. They promise that incidents like that will never happen again.
“No Arlo guest --- or any person -- should be subject to this kind of behavior. We want to apologize to Mr. Harrold and his son for this inexcusable experience, and have reached out to them directly to express our sincere regret and to offer help in dealing with the traumatic event.”
The white woman will likely be banned from Arlo Hotels.

BE WARNED THE VIDEOS ARE DISTURBING AND GRAPHIC!
There is a viral video being seen across the world of a white man from Elyria, Ohio getting served across the head by a Black customer. The video shows the white man calling the Black cashier and customer, NIGGA continuously.
It was inside a Circle K store.
“Fuck my momma? Fuck your momma, NIGGA,” he said.
When the Black customer demanded he stopped, the white customer got more ignorant.
So the Black customer was holding a can of Twisted Ice Tea, an alcoholic tea, he was squaring up at one point but relented for a moment. As he dropped the can, the white guy tried to kick his hand as he picked the can up.
The Black customer smacked that can directly into the head of the white guy. The white guy went down for a brief moment.
He got back up and tried to respond to the Black customer only to be taken down and served a hot plate of knuckle style chili with onions.
After the hot plate was served, the white man was seeing stars. Of course, he realized that he was being recorded. Now his friends, family and the whole world sees his ass get embarrassed.
The video has created multiple memes and it has been seen by millions.
I bet you money, that white guy won’t be saying NIGGA anymore. I am certain he’s lost his job.
He also is going to be a meme forever.
The Elyria Police are aware of the video and may file charges against the individuals.
Disgraced entertainer Lori Loughlin is out of federal time out. She spent nearly two months in federal time out after she pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy.
The former Full House actress was convicted along with her husband Mossimo Giannulli in the college admissions scandal that rocked the world. She and Felicity Huffman were both fingered by the feds in a scheme concocted by a gangster to get their privileged white children into elite colleges. They used ringers to take their tests and do their athletics. The parents paid millions to make sure their children got into the elite colleges.
Giannulli got two and half more on his bill to finish.
Loughlin will be heading to her home where she will be on in-house for two years. She will be ordered to pay back the federal courts nearly $300,000 in fines. She will be ordered to do community work for urban areas and be no longer involved in grassroot fundraisers.
She served her term at ADX Dublin, a womens’ federal time out.
She is possibly on the list of pardons from President Donald J. Trump.
Daughter Olivia Jade was widely ridiculed because of the scandal. She felt the sting of fans and critics worldwide. As a celebrity agitator, she played clueless to the acts of her parents.
