Why can't we hold these media agitators accountable for their actions?

I am so fucking tired of explaining this to so many people.

These grifters are the reasons why the country is fucked up!

Tucker Carlson, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Candace Owens, Andy Ngo, Colin Flaherty, Matt Taibbi, Katie Halper, Ryan Grim, Ryan Knight, Shaun King, Nina Turner, Charlamagne tha God, Tariq Nasheed, Tara Reade, Umar Johnson and Briahna Joy Gray are grifters, hucksters and misinformers.

They are given platforms on radio, television, social media and folks are being mislead by these frauds.

It's pathetic we're so gullible to follow or idolize people who wrap their asses around divisiveness.

These clowns idolize Washed Up 45, Vladimir Putin or whatever authoritarian dictator.

Twitter user @2rawTooReal brought the noise. He called out Charlamagne Tha God and Umar Johnson for their bullshit about President Joe Biden.

Dr. “U ain’t never getting that black School” Umar Johnson said Joe Biden, Kamala Harris & The Congressional Black Caucus has done Nothing for black people. THIS IS FALSE why are y’all following this Fraud ⁦@DrUmarJohnson⁩ pic.twitter.com/PYRN6LK3PM

— 2RawTooReal 💛🐝 (@2RawTooReal) April 29, 2021

He was calling the agitators out for peddling out false and misleading information about Biden's commitment to helping people of color.

Biden issued executive orders on his first days in office. He had issued the Advancing Racial Equality and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, Ensuring a Lawful and Accurate Enumeration and Apportionment Pursuant to the Decennial Census, Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation, Reforming Our Incarceration System to Eliminate the Use of Privately Operated Criminal Detention Facilities, Condemning and Combating Racism, Xenophobia, and Intolerance Against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States, Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to-Nation Relationship, and is demanding Congress pass the George Floyd Policing Act. 

Dr. Umar Johnson is a Looney Coon who stole from Blacks.

Biden picked Kamala Harris, a woman of color. She is Black and South Asian. She is the daughter of a Jamaican father and Indian mother. The first woman to be Vice President of the United States.

Biden's promise to work on behalf of African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans and LGBTQ is happening. 

But to the leftists and far-right, its empty promises. 

Lenard McKelvey (Charlamagne Tha God) is a controversial figure in the junk food media. He has a history of stirring the pot. He profits off of Black pain and exploits his ugly behavior on radio and television. He admitted that he sexually abuse two women and his own wife. 

Jermaine Shoemake (Umar Johnson) is a shyster activist. He has been making the claims he is a direct descendant of Frederick Douglass. He also is a conspiracy nut. He claims that Barack Obama never did anything for the Black community. Johnson is often quiet when it came to Washed Up 45. Obviously, the divisive nature of Washed Up 45 made Johnson love his rhetoric. Johnson is homophobic, sexist and clout chaser. 

Johnson raised money for the Marcus Garvey/Frederick Douglass Academy. The school isn't built and folks are not happy about wasting their money 

These grifters aren't impressing anyone.

Biden doesn't have to appease assholes and idiots.

The Republican Response was done by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Scott, the only Black Republican senator delivers a hodge podge of deflection and denialism. He also made the ridiculous claim that America isn't a racist country.  He forgotten that white terrorist killed nine people at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

But by the way, I've been called a NIGGER and UNCLE TOM by those on the left.....!

The response is a tool for potential candidates. Scott is floated the idea he may run for president.

After four years of dealing with Washed Up 45, Scott made the claim that Democrats are "pulling us further apart." Given that the white nationalist Republican Party demonized the first Black president. 

The white nationalists and this enabler denied him a third Supreme Court nominee with the bullshit claim the American voter must have a say in their pick. Zoom to four years later, the white nationalists and this enabler rammed through an inexperienced Supreme Court nominee two weeks before the election. They also had the audacity to claim that the Democrats want to pack the courts after denying over 100 nominees under the first Black president. The Republican leader in the Senate said his goal was to make him a one term president. 

Washed Up 45 unfortunately became the latest president in modern history to join the one term club.

Scott made the claim the he won't waste Americans time with finger-pointing or partisan bickering.

However, Scott made some ridiculous claims that the Democrats are "socialists." He claim that the Georgia voting laws passed this year are better than the New York voting laws. 

He flat out denied racism exists. He said that Democrats rejected his proposal in the last session. 

He claims that the president is using tax dollars to fund abortions. 

A Twitter user compares Tim Scott to Fat Albert character Mushmouth.

Scott credited Washed Up 45 for the vaccine rollout. From what I remember, Washed Up 45 had nothing to do with Pfizer or Mordona. He was pushing hydroxyquinoline and telling Americans to inject disinfectants and bleach to fight the coronavirus. Washed Up 45 blundered his greatest test as president. Had he acted early and took the threat seriously, he would have been reelected. 

Over 600,000 Americans are dead from the coronavirus.

Operation Warp Speed was 10 months too late and thousands of dead bodies later.

The Republican Party often uses tokenism as an excuse to deny their party caters to white nationalism.

Scott's remarks fell flat. It will not be rememberable. It will be another mark on history as a tepid speech. Scott offered no counter proposals to Biden's agenda. He just basically threw shit to the wall hoping it will stick.

I was not impressed nor inspired by Scott.

When the Republican Party nominates a person of color to be their nominee for President of the United States, they need to shut the fuck up. The white nationalist Republican Party can fuck off.

The Democratic Party nominated twice the first Black man to be their nominee. The American people voted twice for Barack H. Obama II. 

Barack Obama is the first African American, born of a Black Kenyan father and American white mother to be the President of the United States. He was the 44th President of the United States.

The Democratic Party nominated Joseph R. Biden II and his running mate Kamala D. Harris. Biden lives in Wilmington, Delaware. He was Obama's former vice president.

Harris is the first woman of color to be the Vice President of the United States. 

She is half-Black and half-South Asian. She is the first woman to be on a ticket to be nominated and elected as the 49th Vice President of the United States. 

Let me be clear: The Republican Party caters to white nationalism. No ifs, ands or buts!

While not a State of the Union, the President of the United States does a Joint Session of Congress.The House Speaker invites the president to speak to the chamber of Congress. The House members and Senators, federal officials and members of the Supreme Court gather in the House Chamber to hear the president. Usually a member of the Congress invites a person to the event. The president and first lady will also address the guest in the audience as well. This is a basic televised speech where the president talks to the American people about an agenda with the sense of urgency. It is basically a plea to the Congress to work on behalf the common good. Usually after a presidential speech, there is the opposition's rebuttal.

The rebuttal will showcase a lawmaker or a person in the news delivering a counter proposal or a direct attack on the president's agenda. It showcases the potential challengers going into a presidential election year.

The 46th President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will deliver his first televised speech. It will be a historical first. He will have two women in the background. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Vice President Kamala Harris, a former California senator will be in the background. 

Pelosi was famous for the reaction to the "You Lie" moment with Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) during Barack Obama's first Joint Session of Congress. She also was caught on camera tearing up the entire speech of Donald J. Trump's last State of The Union Address.

Tonight, due to COVID-19, the speech will not have a large gathering of members. Likely Republican members will not attend the event. They are protesting the speech due to the border issues and Biden's proposals to infrastructure, taxes and his agenda.

The president will be introduced and he will be cheered by the Congress. As he heads to the podium, the president will hand the speaker and vice president his speech. He will read off his agenda.

Since January 6, 2021, the country is deeply divided. Biden's predecessor left a heavy mess on the country. He has continued to push the lies that the election was stolen. He continues to push misinformation about Biden's health and mental fitness. His allies on Fox News and within the Republican Party continue to find outrage with "cancel culture" and things to "own the libs."

Biden goes through his first 100 days with 53% job approval.

The speech is live.

The U.S. Justice Department conducted a federal watch of a handful of associates tied to Washed Up 45. It appears the FBI is now zeroing in on a former federal prosecutor turned former New York City mayor.

Rudy Giuliani has been under federal watch for years. The former lawyer for Washed Up 45 has been in heavy contact with people who may have ties to the Kremlin. He has openly bragged about meeting an agent of the Kremlin. 

Let's also not that Giuliani also faced heat for a "sting" operation. He was trying to undress himself around actress Maria Bakalova. Bakalova portrayed herself as a 15 year old girl in the Borat sequel. 

The feds raided Giuliani’s Manhattan home and office Wednesday, seizing computers and cellphones in a major escalation of the Justice Department’s investigation into the business dealings of former Washed Up 45's personal lawyer.

Giuliani, the 76-year-old former New York City mayor once celebrated for his leadership after 9/11, has been under federal scrutiny for several years over his ties to Ukraine. The dual searches sent the strongest signal yet that he could eventually face federal charges.

Agents searched Giuliani’s Madison Avenue apartment and Park Avenue office, people familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press. The warrants, which required approval from the top levels of the Justice Department, signify that prosecutors believe they have probable cause that Giuliani committed a federal crime — though they do not guarantee that charges will materialize.

A third search warrant was served on a phone belonging to Washington lawyer Victoria Toensing, a former federal prosecutor and close ally of Giuliani and Washed Up 45. Her law firm issued a statement saying she was informed that she is not a target of the investigation.

The feds raid the home and offices of former New York mayor and Washed Up 45 attorney Rudy Giuliani.

The full scope of the investigation is unclear, but it at least partly involves Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, law enforcement officials have told the AP.

The people discussing the searches and Wednesday’s developments could not do so publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. News of the search was first reported by The New York Times.

In a statement issued through his lawyer, Giuliani accused federal authorities of a “corrupt double standard,” invoking allegations he’s pushed against prominent Democrats, and said that the Justice Department was “running rough shod over the constitutional rights of anyone involved in, or legally defending, former President Donald J. Trump.”

“Mr. Giuliani respects the law, and he can demonstrate that his conduct as a lawyer and a citizen was absolutely legal and ethical,” the statement said.

Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, told reporters the raids were “disgusting” and “absolutely absurd.”

A Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan and the FBI’s New York office declined to comment.

The federal probe into Giuliani’s Ukraine dealings stalled last year because of a dispute over investigative tactics as Washed Up 45 unsuccessfully sought a second term. Giuliani subsequently took on a leading role in disputing the election results on the Republican’s behalf.

Wednesday’s raids came months after Washed Up 45 left office and lost his ability to pardon allies for federal crimes. The former president himself no longer enjoys the legal protections the Oval Office once provided him — though there is no indication Washed Up 45 is eyed in this probe.

Washed Up 45’s spokesman did not immediate respond to questions about Wednesday’s events.

Many people in Washed Up 45’s orbit have been ensnared in previous federal investigations, namely special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian election interference. But most of those criminal cases either fizzled or fell apart. Giuliani’s is different.

Giuliani was central to the then-president’s efforts to dig up dirt against Democratic rival Joe Biden and to press Ukraine for an investigation into Biden and his son, Hunter — who himself now faces a criminal tax probe by the Justice Department.

Giuliani also sought to undermine former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who was pushed out on Washed Up 45’s orders, and met several times with a Ukrainian lawmaker who released edited recordings of Biden in an effort to smear him before the election.

Giuliani tried to undress around Maria Bakalova in the Borat sequel.

Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, said the warrants involved an allegation that Giuliani failed to register as a foreign agent and that investigative documents mentioned John Solomon, a former columnist and frequent Fox News commentator with close ties to Giuliani, who pushed baseless or unsubstantiated allegations involving Ukraine and Biden during the 2020 election.

Phone records published by House Democrats in 2019 in the wake of Washed Up 45’s first impeachment trial showed frequent contacts involving Giuliani, Solomon and Lev Parnas, a Giuliani associate who is under indictment on charges of using foreign money to make illegal campaign contributions.

Contacted Wednesday, Solomon said it was news to him that the Justice Department was interested in any communications he had with Giuliani, though he said it was not entirely surprising given the issues raised in the impeachment trial.

“He was someone that tried to pass information to me. I didn’t use most of it,” Solomon said of Giuliani. “If they want to look at that, there’s not going to be anything surprising in it.”

Everything was sitting “in plain view,” Solomon said. He said he believed his reporting had “stood the test of time” and maintained that he was “unaware of a single factual error” in any of his stories.

Solomon’s former employer, The Hill newspaper, published a review last year of some of his columns and determined they were lacking in context and missing key disclosures. Solomon previously worked for The Associated Press, departing the news organization in 2006.

The federal Foreign Agents Registration Act requires people who lobby on behalf of a foreign government or entity to register with the Justice Department. The once-obscure law, aimed at improving transparency, has received a burst of attention in recent years — particularly during Mueller’s probe, which revealed an array of foreign influence operations in the U.S.

Rudy Dooties.

Federal prosecutors in the Manhattan office Giuliani himself once led — springing to prominence in the 1980s with high-profile prosecutions of Mafia figures — had pushed last year for a search warrant for records. Those included some of Giuliani’s communications, but officials in the Trump-era Justice Department would not sign off on the request, according to multiple people who insisted on anonymity to speak about the ongoing investigation with which they were familiar.

Officials in the then-deputy attorney general’s office raised concerns about both the scope of the request, which they thought would contain communications that could be covered by legal privilege between Giuliani and Washed Up 45, and the method of obtaining the records, three of the people said.

The issue was widely expected to be revisited by the Justice Department once Attorney General Merrick Garland assumed office, given the need for the department’s upper echelons to sign off on warrants served on lawyers. Garland was confirmed last month, and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was confirmed to her position and sworn in last week.

The official U.S. population is 331.5 million.

However, the next ten years will mark a shift in the demographics. It will make the Sun Belt and Mountain West more viable going into the 2024 and 2028 U.S. presidential elections.

So the Electoral College will determine who will be our next president. It looks like Republicans will have a slim advantage going into the 2024 election.

California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania will lose a seat.

Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, Oregon and Montana will see gains. Only Texas will gain two seats. 

The U.S. Census also may be considered controversial given that Washed Up 45 and Wilbur Ross were trying to meddle in the count by trying to throw obstacles into the count.

The pandemic already wiped away over 600,000 lives. Gun violence has wiped away 35,000 this year. The United States is on the path to slow population growth.

The growth of cities in Colorado, Florida, Texas and North Carolina are showing a pattern. Many are leaving the snow belt states. States that repealed the mask mandates, offer lower tax rates and white majority communities are prime real estate for white nationalists.

The states that gain these seats will have control or redistricting which could make the party in charge more powerful. The Census will also allocate more money to the states that grow and take away the funds from states that saw decline.

I believe it's time to eliminate the Electoral College.

In case you're wondering, white leftists are trying to smear Shontel Brown. The Intercept decided to run a hit piece about "pay for play" against the Cuyahoga County official who is the chief rival to candidate endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and white leftists. They are going to realize that their candidate Nina Turner is destined for failure. The race in Ohio will get interesting.

The special election to replace Cedric Richmond is over. It appears the Democratic Party picked a candidate that vows to work with President Joe Biden and not be a gadfly.

Rep-elect Troy Carter (D-LA) defeats challenger Karen Carter Peterson in a special general election. He won the endorsement of longtime lawmaker Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and the now White House advisor Richmond. 

Carter, 57 will be sworn in by Friday. He will be the U.S. House Representative from the 2nd Congressional District. The district covers most of Metro New Orleans and parts of Baton Rouge. 

The district is gerrymandered and it's the only area the Democrats have control of.

Louisiana has a jumble primary. It doesn't matter who is running, the candidates who poll the best will face off in a run-off. The candidates who ran as Republican had no chance. Claston Bernard, a Jamaican-American decathlete who lives Louisiana wanted to run as a Republican. The enabler of white nationalism came in a distant fourth place. Wow, he didn't run a great campaign.

Bernie Sanders-backed Karen Carter Peterson was defeated.

Carter's opponent Karen Carter Peterson (no relation) had tried numerous times to become the U.S. Representative of the 2nd District. She tried since the days of William Jefferson.

Peterson who championed herself as a progressive who supported Sanders' platform of Medicare for All, free tuition, taxing billionaires and the Green New Deal was defeated roundly in the run off.

Carter won with 56% of the vote.

Carter also had backing of Republicans. The Biden Republicans came out in full force to back Carter over Peterson.

Now that Carter and Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) are settled, there's the race to replace the late Texas lawmaker Ron Wright and the race to replace Marcia Fudge, now Housing and Urban Development Secretary.

Fudge who represented the 11th Congressional District of Ohio left her seat to join Biden. Now the former co-chair of The Bernie Sanders Campaign and president of Our Revolution, Nina Turner wants to win the seat.

I will straight up tell you that she's going to lose to Shontel Brown. First things first, Turner is relatively known in Democratic circles. She also has burned bridges with local Democrats. Second, she lost badly to Jon Husted in the race to be Secretary of State. Third, she backed Hillary Clinton in 2015 but ended up backing Bernie Sanders. She said she did not support Clinton and she allegedly supported Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee for president. Fourth, she got into it with Hilary Rosen, Jason Johnson and Roland Martin. They would have a ground zero approach to winning Democratic votes and Turner caused a rift with them. Fifth, she backed Sanders again and spread misinformation about Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O'Rourke, Amy Klobuchar and Joe Biden. Sixth, she said that voting for Joe Biden is "like eating half a bowl of shit. It's still shit." Seventh, she has the backing of grifters like Susan Sarandon, Shaun King, Charlamagne tha Rapist, Cornel West and Ryan Knight. Eighth, she has the backing of the Squad. Ninth, she is a raging hypocrite.

I am going to say this again! Support Shontel Brown for Congress. She is the best choice for the district. She had an ear to the needs of residents in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Akron, Kent and Stow.

Brown understands that we have to work for the benefits of Biden not become a distraction and obstructionist like white nationalist Democratic senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

Brown is best suited for the job. 

Congratulations to Troy Carter, Representative-elect.

Elizabeth City has declared a state of emergency. The city is preparing for potential unrest after the family of Andrew Brown, Jr. got to see a portion of the police shooting. 

His family is saying it was an execution. 

Seven deputies have been placed on administrative leave following the shooting, two others have resigned and one deputy retired, Wooten has said. Not all the deputies who were placed on administrative leave discharged their firearms, he added, but they were all part of the warrant operation.

The family is also angered over the body camera footage only showing 20 seconds of the shooting.

Brown, 42, was fatally shot by Pasquotank County sheriff's deputies in Elizabeth City on Wednesday when they attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant, the sheriff's office said. It appears that they shot him when he was trying to flee. He was unarmed and his family said he's wasn't trying to kill police officers with his vehicle.

Brown's family calls it an execution.

Few details -- and no video -- have been released publicly about the shooting. In dispatch audio from that day, first responders can be heard saying a man had gunshot wounds to the back. A copy of his death certificate says he died as a result of a gunshot wound of the head.

On Monday afternoon, after an earlier delay, Pasquotank County Attorney Michael Cox showed Brown's family and attorneys a short clip from one deputy's body camera that family attorney Chantel Cherry-Lassiter said showed an "execution."

Cherry-Lassiter said the video was 20 seconds long and shows deputies shot at Brown as he sat in his vehicle with his hands on the steering wheel. "He wasn't reaching for anything, he wasn't touching anything, he wasn't throwing anything around," she said.

Brown then put the vehicle in reverse and backed out of the driveway, and deputies shot at him as he drove off, she said. The vehicle, riddled with bullet holes, crashed into a tree, she said.

The family's attorneys decried the lack of transparency and disrespect in only showing a short clip from a single deputy's body camera. About seven or eight deputies, each presumably equipped with a body camera, were on scene, Cherry-Lassiter said.

In a video statement posted to Facebook, Pasquotank Sheriff Tommy Wooten said: "This tragic incident was quick and over in less than 30 seconds, and body cameras are shaky and sometimes hard to decipher. They only tell part of the story."

The sheriff has said there were "many" body cameras at the scene.

Chief Deputy Daniel Fogg said it would be inappropriate to comment on the case until all the evidence is collected.

"They are trying to hide something," civil rights attorney Ben Crump said. "They don't want us to see everything."

Crump has dealt with a lot of high profile cases going back to Trayvon Martin. His most notable cases include Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Daunte Wright and Atiana Jefferson. 

Bakari Sellers, a Brown family attorney, said Cox tried to prevent several of the attorneys from viewing the video in the first place.

"Mr. Cox told me, a grown Black man, that he was not fucking going to be bullied," Sellers said.

According to North Carolina law, law enforcement body camera footage can only be released to the public with a court order.

Elizabeth City declared a state of emergency Monday morning amid concerns that the video's release could lead to civil unrest. According to the city's emergency proclamation, city officials will also file a formal request with the sheriff's office for the public release of the video.

Folks are concern that civil rights attorney Ben Crump is getting too much attention. He is now involved in the latest police shooting of an unarmed person of color. Some Black leaders and the far-right enablers of color are calling him an "ambulance chaser." 

Is Benjamin Crump an ambulance chasing attorney?

Yes. He is always showing up in these high profiling police shootings.

No. He is working hard to make sure that police officers are being held accountable for their actions.

Let's first start off with Leo Terrell, a former civil rights attorney turned far-right enabler of white supremacy. He's already on the attack of Crump involved in the Brown police shooting.

Tamir Rice's mother Samaria Rice had also called out Crump for showing up at every police killing of a person of color.

"I'm tired of you Black Lives Matter (Tamika Mallory and crew) bitches that's riding on these families' back and y'all ambulance chasing (Ben Crump and Lee Merritt) too; y'all have fuck up our fight. Y'all can kiss my ass too....," she said. "Make it make sense, You can't [be] working with the devil [so] why is easy to do!" Fuck y'all!"

Protests are happening in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, Los Angeles, Nashville, Columbus, Knoxville, Spotsylvania County, Virginia and Elizabeth City. These areas are the scenes of high profile shootings.
