Media Matters for America made a supercut of the far-right agitator hosting her podcast fat shaming women and literally begging her guests to go along with this shit.
Candace Owens-Farmer is a far-right agitator who used to be a Black progressive. She found her latest grift when Donald J. Trump rose to power. From this point, she's been the advocate for white nationalism and extremism globally.
We thought we've heard the last of her. Alas, we haven't.
Don't hate the curves.
Where Diamond & Silk and Terrence K. Williams faded into the trash bin of social media, Owens still has a voice outside the trash bin.
I dare Candace say that shit to a woman who shows her curves. A woman who ain't taking too kind to a burnt match stick talking shit about her weight and her beauty.
So I have ask you?
Would it be fair to call Candace Owens a burnt match stick, a stork neck or ashy Candy?
Should we say that her husband likes in the rump? Her husband is allegedly gay or bisexual.
Don't get me started!
Black women are beautiful. But this woman..............No!
I normally cover the far right jamboree of CPAC. I'll just sum it up for you in this posting and tomorrow will cover former president Donald J. Trump.
We can't get enough of this. This washed up celebrity will make his first post-presidential speech at CPAC.
So the event was held in Florida because the state of Maryland refused to hold the gathering at the Gaylord Hotel in National Harbor due to the possibility of it being a superspreader.
The city of Orlando, Florida has the opportunity to host this event. Only a few blocks from the Pulse nightclub shooting site where an extremist who pledged loyalty to the Islamic State opened fire on club goers in a late night massacre. An event only to be surpassed by the Las Vegas massacre.
The Conservative Political Action Conference is the largest gathering of Republican and far-right agitators. It's like the place for grooming future presidents. Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Trump managed to use the CPAC influence to help win their elections.
Now the washed up one term president will make his first public appearance since he left the White House.
Donald Trump, Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Under the ironic banter of America Uncanceled, the far-right decided to host this event with the city warning the patrons they better wear a mask of face sanctions. Of course, the patrons refused to wear the mask and they scream it's going against their freedoms.
The House members who attended CPAC had their staffers vote on behalf of them. When the crucial vote for the American Rescue Plan was being voted on, many of these assholes in the Republican minority skipped the vote. The Minority Leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) along with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Bryon Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), Rep. Madison Cawthron (R-NC), Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT), Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), Rep. Yvette Harrell (R-NM), Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), Rep. Russ Fulcher (R-ID), Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA), Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) and Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) had their staffers vote on behalf of them.
The same folks who complained about voter fraud and refuse to acknowledge that President Joe Biden won the electoral college and popular vote continue to push the big lie.
What should we consider CPAC as?
The token lawmakers Bryon Donalds, Yvette Harrell and Burgess Owens are people of color who suck a lot of that "not see."
Also included were the traveling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Unapologetic as expect, he went to CPAC shortly after he was doing damage control with Sean "Screwball" Hannity. He went to Cancun, Mexico shortly after Texas experienced the worst winter storm in over 100 years. It almost destroyed the power grid and left 20 million Texans out of power and water. The Texas delegation left their constituents in the middle of a deadly pandemic and a natural disaster to denounce climate change, the pandemic restrictions and wearing a damn face mask to control this.
White nationalist Tom Cotton at CPAC.
Besides Cruz, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Rep. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Sen. Marco Rubio joined the shenanigans.
Cruz, Scott, Hawley, Lee, Lummis and Blackburn opposed the certification of Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin. They were endorsing the "Big Lie" and are responsible for the insurrection.
Lankford in the beginning was with them. He backed down when the insurrection happened. He apologized for being a white nationalist. Going to CPAC shows that his apology was worthless.
The rest of this show includes the gay far-right agitator Scott Presler who is working on trying to primary Republicans who oppose Trump.
James O'Keefe of Project Veritas fame. The ACORN Pimp is fuming over Twitter suspending his group's page and he's a strike away from being banned.
Charlie Kirk, the grifter of Turning Point USA is struggling to find money so he'll launch another attempt at extorting folks of their money.
Where's your gun Lauren Boebert?
The Looney Coons are here. Besides Byron Donalds and Burgess Owens, two U.S. Representative, we have the former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Maj Toure of Black Guns Matter (standing in for the NRA), far-right radio host Wayne Dupree, National Review writer Deroy Murdoch, former Georgia state lawmaker Vernon Jones, former White House advisor Jack Brewer, Fox Nation host Lawrence Jones, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, American Conservative Union communications lead Ian B. Walters, T.W. Shannon, former Oklahoma Speaker of the House and member of the Chickasaw and Louis Reed of the Dream Core JUSTICE.
Trump's team of misfits are here. Besides Ben Carson, we have Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Mike Pompeo, Larry Kudlow, Richard Grenell and KT McFarland.
Far-right agitators often seen in the junk food media include Dana Loesch, Sara Carter, Pete Hegseth, Jon Voight, Buck Sexton, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump, Jr., Dan Bongino, Matt Boyle and Kerry Pickett.
Butthead lawmaker Matt Gaetz.
The woman who was arrested for operating during the pandemic and state mandate curfew, Shelley Luther is expected to speak. Also the man who refuse to follow that state mandate to not have large gatherings in his business, Ian Smith also expected speak.
Here's a bonus: The dancing of Roger Stone to the rap songs of Trump supporting jackass rapper Forgiato Blow.
The "not see" jamboree wouldn't be without washed up 45 speaking. He is expected to go after Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former vice president Mike Pence, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) and the junk food media.
He will address his acquittal from the Senate trial and inflame more Americans into violence.
I am almost poisoning the good readers here by running this.
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed the American Rescue Plan early Saturday morning. The vote came upon party lines with 219 Democrats supporting, two Democrats opposing it.
The Republicans did not support it.
The legislation which President Joe Biden wants passed quickly will now head to the Senate which will be a nail-biter. The two moderate senators, Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) will likely support the package.
The vote came early around 2am. The Republicans spent a majority of the time either traveling to Orlando to bitch about Biden or bitch in the House about the 9% of the bill having some earmark or whatever they never read in the bill.
Progressive members of the House are angry that the $15 minimum wage was left out of the bill. The Senate parliamentarian said that the minimum wage increase in the bill will not make it to reconciliation.
Sinema and Manchin are also opposed to the increase.
The Democrats managed to pass the American Rescue Plan with many of them on board.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that the minimum wage will be passed in this Congress and she confirms the House will work on a bill that will make it to Biden's desk for him to sign.
Biden wants this legislation passed before March 14. The reason why he wants it now is because those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will not have unemployment benefits after Congress doesn't pass it.
QAnon Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) fresh off his ass kissing tour with former president Donald J. Trump cried about the legislation passing through the House.
"This isn't a relief bill. It takes care of Democrats' political allies while it fails to deliver for American families," McCarthy said in his presser. "We already know what is the best stimulus plan out there: It is to fully reopen our economy. To do that, we need our economy to go back to work, back to school and back to health."
We are reminded that under Trump over 500,000 Americans died from the coronavirus. Over 40 million people lost their jobs. Large gatherings and embracing others is now out of the question.
Americans who believe the bullshit coming out of that jackass's mouth supports the insurrection last month which lead to five people being killed, over $30 million in damages and over 300 arrests.
McCarthy's party supports white nationalism. Since they failed at handling an international crisis, they now resort to the tired ankle biting they've done during the Obama years.
Thanks to Trump, the Republicans have no room to complain. They allowed a deadly disease come to our shores and changed the landscape of the country for a generation.
And for those who still support the Republican Party, you're doomed to failure.
The Senate will take up the matter on Monday and it will hopefully be passed before Biden gives his Joint Session of Congress.
Vice President Kamala Harris will be the deciding factor in an evenly split Senate.
When the Joint Session of Congress is announced, we expect Republicans to not show up or interrupt the session with theatrics.
The American Rescue Plan is receiving strong support. Over 69% of Americans support the bill being passed through Congress and many Republican governors and mayors are quietly saying that the bill will help reboot the economy.
Majority of the bill will have funding for the vaccines. But of course, Republicans refuse to tell you that. They rather you get worked up over some trivial issue that they claim is a part of a "liberal wishlist."
Like you idiots didn't managed to ram through your wishlist of a Supreme Court nominee, a tax cut, and our tax dollars to fund a worthless border wall.
American toy company officially will drop the name Mr. Potato Head.
You might be confused on how I'm addressing it! But on packaging they're no longer using the words Mr. or Mrs. in the branding. Effective immediately, the next line of Potato Head toys will no longer have the label.
The toy will be still available for purchase it just won't carry the formal title of Mr. and Mrs. anymore.
The decision was issued on Thursday. They wanted to drop the "Mr." from the brand's name in order to be more inclusive and so all could feel "welcome in the Potato Head world." It also said it would sell a new playset this fall without the Mr. and Mrs. designations that will let kids create their own type of potato families, including two moms or two dads.
The far-right was outraged over this. They believe that Hasbro was caving to pressure from progressive groups and pushing an agenda.
The House quickly passed the Equality Act which bans discrimination against Americans based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. One of the main sponsors, Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL) has a transgender daughter and she felt this is going to be a historic moment for her and those who identify as transgender.
It riled up Republicans.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her fellow members of the white nationalist "Freedom Caucus" rejected it and said that biologically born children should not be invading the "girl's restroom" or playing "girl sports."
They probably would love to see transgender women in the male prison when they commit crimes too.....!
Many people who identify as transgender will face discrimination in the workplace and home buying.
Transwomen are likely to be victims of sexual abuse. Many who identify as transgender face brutal treatment which leads to suicide.
Transgender rights are human rights. Your transgender son or transgender daughter deserve the right to have education, housing, an opportunity to change the world and a place at the table. The country can't be saying "We the People..." when we ain't including people.
I am a proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. I have family and friends who identify as gay and transgender.
I am supportive of them 100%.

It could be a breakthrough for McKinley Phipps, formerly known as rapper Mac. The 43-year old is currently in the iron college facing LIFE for a crime he swore he didn't commit. He performed at a nightclub in Louisiana when a fight broke out. Then there was a shooting where a man was killed.
The fight broke out before the show that resulted in a gunshot that struck and killed 19-year-old Barron C Victor, Jr. after Victor attempted to break up the fight. Phipps was arrested and charged with second-degree murder of Victor.
He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to thirty years to life in prison on September 21, 2001.
He is currently serving his sentence at the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in Louisiana. Days into the police investigation, Thomas Williams, a man who was working security that night at the club, confessed to shooting Victor after another patron charged him with a beer bottle. Despite this, police pursued charges against Phipps.
Mac was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He is currently serving his sentence at the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in Louisiana. Phipps maintains his innocence, and his parents have campaigned to re-open the investigation into his case for many years.
The Louisiana Board of Pardons and Parole recommended Monday that Phipps be made eligible immediately for parole. It now goes to the desk of Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards for sign-off. If approved, Phipps will need to appear before the parole board one more time.
His wife Angelique Phipps have said on social media that she's hoping that the governor does consider her husband eligible for parole.
Mac recently married his wife. His wife has strongly advocated for his release.
Phipps has been on work release at a facility in Raceland in Lafourche Parish since earlier this month. Reliving the night of the shooting to the parole board Monday, Phipps recounted seeing a commotion on the dance floor and hearing a shot fired. He ran to the front door to look for his mother, and they left together, he said, adding that he later learned a man had been killed.
Russell Baker, a close childhood friend of Phipps who was with him that night, told HuffPost it’s been a long and painful struggle in the years since, and he won’t feel relief until he can finally see his friend back with his family.
“It’s basically 21 years to the date that it happened. When it first initially happened, my faith was strong and I basically knew that no innocent man would be sent to jail for life. I knew for a fact that he was innocent,” Baker said. “My faith in the justice system has taken a hit.”
He said he will forever be sympathetic to the victim’s family, but it doesn’t change what happened to his friend.
Erik Nielson, a University of Richmond professor and co-author of “Rap on Trial: Race, Lyrics and Guilt in America,” has been a part of the team fighting for Phipps’s freedom. Nielson has conducted extensive research that has been critical of the use of lyrics to seek criminal convictions against Black artists.
“Everybody is very optimistic that this is by far the key hurdle,” he told HuffPost of Monday’s verdict. “His whole family has been tireless. His parents have been so beaten down by the process.”
But there’s still some uncertainty hanging, he said. “It’s not over until he’s out.”
The president heads to Texas to see the damage from the winter storm.

In the wake of the winter storm that nearly failed the power grid in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott vows to fix the mess that he and his predecessors created. The state of Texas uses its own power grid and it nearly collapsed because of the state's refusal to regulate the energy industry.
The executives of the ECOT were forced out after it was revealed that some didn't even live in the state and they failed to get the ground running when the storm happened.
Energy companies are sending bills to struggling families. Some are getting bills that are nearly over $2,000. The state is demanding the energy companies wave fees. They are demanding the energy companies to find ways to ensure this never happens again.
Abbott also faced heat for appearing on Fox News to trash the Green New Deal, a proposal sponsored by controversial lawmaker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
They did not winterize their pipes and didn't expect the winter storm to be destructive.
Nearly 20 million Texans lost power and are struggling to get water.
The Republicans continue to pretend this disaster is not a big deal.
The far-right agitators were outraged that President Joe Biden did not immediately head down to Texas.
The president will meet with Abbott, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), House members and state leaders. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) opted out to meet the president. He will be in Orlando, Florida at the CPAC 2021 bitching about the election and why Biden didn't come to Texas in the first place.
Cruz faces backlash for leaving the state for a vacation to Cancun, Mexico. He also will face backlash for going to CPAC instead of staying in the state to help his constituents.
Cruz even mocked the controversy he's facing.
"I've got to say, Orlando is awesome! It's not as nice as Cancun, but it's nice."
The far-right were outraged that the president didn't go Texas about a few days after the storm passed.
This was their attempt at trying to paint the president as a doddering old fool. Biden did not want to waste time and resources needed for residents who are in desperate need.
Ted Cruz decides to leave his constituents again for the warm luxury of Florida. He goes to CPAC.
Anyway, the president and First Lady, Dr. Jill Bide will survey storm and power grid damage. They will visit an emergency operation center and food bank. They will stop in Houston and head to the NRG Stadium to see how the rollout of the coronavirus vaccines.
During a televised meeting with the governors, the president said to Abbott about the Republicans refusal to work with him and the extremism within it ranks.
"Governor Abbott, I don't want to rduni your reputation. But I look forward to coming down to Houston to be with you. And I want you and the residents to know that we're here to provide the federal assistance you need to support your state."
Biden won't come to Texas and throw paper towels and tell people in emergency shelters to "have a good time." Biden has empathy for Americans when it comes to natural disasters.
The far-right will say it's all for publicity and the such, but they've already complained that Biden didn't show up. So make up your minds! Which is it?
President Biden's getting annoyed with the slow walking Congress.

The American Rescue Plan is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package being proposed by President Joe Biden to speed up the U.S. recovery from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic has taken the U.S. into another recession and he wants to get this as a major victory in his first 100 days as President of the United States.
Biden has been lobbying on Democrats to push the bill forward and get it immediately signed. He gave up on trying to win over Republicans. Biden doesn't want to make mistakes when dealing with Republicans.
We already know they're not on board with it. After all, they play the charade of being "fiscally conservative" and concerned about the debt and economy now that a Democrat is in the White House.
Their shameless hypocrisy led the Americans voters to reject them as well as their standard bearer Donald J. Trump. Now the Republicans are searching for their souls in the pits of hell. They have not abandoned Trump and it's causing a civil war within the party.
Oh, but the Democrats are having a civil war in the making. It's between the factions that often are the most loudest and least productive. The progressive side of the Democratic Party are upset at Biden because he's not doing enough to push for the $15 minimum wage increase in the package.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) have signalled they're against the rising of the minimum wage which could put the bill in jeopardy of failure.
Now the Senate parliamentarian now declares the bill should move forward without the minimum wage increase.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) is furious that the $15 minimum wage hike may be stripped.
The White House has reacted to the parliamentarian's ruling.
he White House said Thursday that President Biden is “disappointed” that the Senate parliamentarian ruled a minimum wage increase could not be included in a coronavirus relief bill, but said the president would respect the decision.
“President Biden is disappointed in this outcome, as he proposed having the $15 minimum wage as part of the American Rescue Plan. He respects the parliamentarian’s decision and the Senate’s process,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement released Thursday night.
“He will work with leaders in Congress to determine the best path forward because no one in this country should work full time and live in poverty,” Psaki continued.
“He urges Congress to move quickly to pass the American Rescue Plan, which includes $1400 rescue checks for most Americans, funding to get this virus under control, aid to get our schools reopened and desperately needed help for the people who have been hardest hit by this crisis,” she said.
The statement makes clear that the White House will not look to overrule the decision by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough earlier Thursday evening to nix a provision to increase minimum wage to $15 per hour included in the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill.
White House chief of staff Ron Klain said on MSNBC on Wednesday that Vice President Harris, as president of the Senate, would not try to overturn the decision if the Senate parliamentarian decided the minimum wage could not be part of the bill.
The decision Wednesday evening represents a significant blow to progressives who saw the minimum wage increase as a critical part of the coronavirus relief proposal, which will face a House vote on Friday.
Democrats have moved to pass the relief bill using budget reconciliation, which allows them to pass a bill with a simple majority in the Senate.
The parliamentarian ruled on Thursday that the minimum wage provision did not meet guidelines needed to move forward without the upper chamber’s reconciliation process.
Still, progressives called for Harris to overrule the decision after the Senate parliamentarian’s decision Thursday.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is becoming a pain in the ass.
“The Senate parliamentarian issues an advisory opinion. The VP can overrule them—as has been done before,” tweeted Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. “We should do EVERYTHING we can to keep our promise, deliver a $15 minimum wage, and give 27 million workers a raise.”
What are we supposed to tell voters in 2 years before the midterms? Sorry, we couldn’t pass the $15 minimum wage that we promised you because the Senate parliamentarian advised against it?
Two-thirds of voters want this done. Time to deliver.
“I’m sorry—an unelected parliamentarian does not get to deprive 32 million Americans the raise they deserve,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) tweeted. “This is an advisory, not a ruling. VP Harris needs to disregard and rule a $15 minimum wage in order.”
“We were elected to deliver for the people. It’s time we do our job,” he tweeted.
The development may ultimately make it easier for the measure to pass in the 50-50 Senate, where moderate Democrats like Manchin have been cool to the idea of an increase to a $15 minimum wage.
Classic television shows are being rebooted or revived.
It worked for Full House (and Fuller House), Will & Grace, Roseanne (and The Conners) and Punky Brewster.
The classic sitcom on NBC is being brought back to television.
American actor and media personality Kelsey Grammer confirms that his hit sitcom Frasier is coming back to the television. Paramount+. a division of ViacomCBS, Inc. is going to relaunch the series with Grammar, David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves and Peri Gilpin reprising their roles.
The show is an official spin-off of Cheers, the classic sitcom which Frasier Crane was a part of.
The show will return to television and streaming platforms after it concluded its 11 seasons.
"I gleefully anticipate sharing the next chapter in the continuing journey of Dr. Frasier Crane," Grammar said to the Hollywood Reporter. "Having spent over 20 years of my creative life on the Paramount lot, both producing shows and performing in several, I'd like to congratulate Paramount+ on its entry into the streaming world."
The original cast of Frasier is coming back to television.
The show starred Grammar as Dr. Frasier Crane, a divorced psychologist who returned to Seattle after leaving Boston. He gets hired to host a radio program where he offers advice to listeners. While returning home, he rebuilds his relationship with his brother, fellow psychologist Niles Crane who often clashes with Frasier in friendly competitions and his father Martin Crane, a retired police detective who was shot in the line of duty. He was forced to retire and forced to stay with Frasier. He tries to tell his sons to loosen up but often cares deeply for them.
The other characters in the show included their live-in housekeeper Daphne Moon who helps Martin out during his therapy and
John Mahoney had passed away at the age of 77 in 2018.
Paramount+ added it was bringing back "one of the most highly acclaimed, most successful comedy series of all time."
"The revival will have everything you love about the original: coziness, great writing, and of course, a cast led by Kelsey Grammer," the streaming service said. No date was given for the revival.
Grammer was the executive producer of the UPN/CW shows The Game and Girlfriends. He also lent his voice role to The Simpsons as the diabolical Sideshow Bob, a frequent nemesis of Bart Simpson.

The extremist group al-Qaeda hasn't disappeared. They are down but not out. They are grooming a leader to replace Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the ailing Egyptian doctor and leader of the extremist group. Its rumored he may have died and the organization is trying to build a more lethal al-Qaeda.
Enter Saif al-Adel, the reclusive extremist involved in the Tanzania and Kenyan bombings back in 1998. He is under indictment by the U.S. government for sponsoring and building the bombs that killed over 200 people.
He was the clean cut business executive who left the profession to join Osama bin Laden's jihad against the United States. He was fingered as one of the backers of the two truck bombings at the embassies in Dar es Saleem in Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. He financed thousands of dollars to local tribal men to drive those trucks into the embassies.
The Egyptians kept al-Adel's information on ice. He is allegedly known by his government name, Mohammed Salah al-Din Zaidan. He was a member of the Egyptian military around his teens and became an expert in bomb making and explosive detonations. They said he was trained by the Soviet Union during his brief military career. He would leave the military and join the Afghanis in the war against the Soviet Union.
He was affiliated with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Now he's a full fledge member of the Sunni Islamist extremist organization. It has been labeled as a terrorist group by the United States and 80 other countries.
The U.S. claims that Islamic Republic of Iran is where is living. They say he's a "brilliant and ruthless strategist" who will lead the extremists.
The rumors of his passing are unconfirmed as well.
The man who dubbed himself, "the sword of revenge" is hoping to rebrand the organization. They're hoping to seize on the Trump legacy and study the white nationalist tactics to infiltrate.
Last heard from in a message on the anniversary of 9/11, former leader al-Zawahiri's health and longevity have long been in doubt, although reports of his death have proved incorrect in the past.
The Egyptian-born doctor was second-in-command to bin Laden and took over the extremist group after the Saudi's death in 2011, but its influence has waned and al-Qaeda is now widely seen as a shadow of its former self.
One of the sources who spoke to Arab News was an al-Qaeda translator said to maintain close ties with the group, who said al-Zawahiri had died in Afghanistan.
"He died of asthma because he had no formal treatment," the translator told the outlet's Pakistani edition.
Reports at the time suggested al-Zawahiri's death would deal a further blow to the group after it emerged that Israeli operatives had secretly killed its deputy leader on a U.S. ordered mission in Iran.
Abdullah Ahmad Abdullah, also known as Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was shot and killed in Tehran by an Israeli hit squad on a motorcycle.
The operation is said to have taken place on August 7 on the anniversary of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings.
The killing of bin Laden in a US operation in Pakistan in 2011 left the group in the hands of al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian veteran of jihad and the key al-Qaeda ideologue, but without Bin Laden's ability to rally radicals around the world.
The U.S. government said last year that bin Laden's son Hamza was also dead, removing a man seen as a possible heir to the al-Qaeda leadership.
The group has spawned several franchises across the world that bear its name, including in Africa's Sahel region, in Pakistan as well as in Somalia, Egypt and Yemen.
But it does not control their actions or the alliances that they may forge on a local level.
