Kimberly Elise Faces Heat For Pro Life Rant!

Kimberly Elise shares pro-life (anti-science) views.

The actress who starred in cult movie Set It Off is slammed for praising culture wars. The movie featured Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Vivica A. Fox. Kimberly Elise was also featured in her first movie role praised the Supreme Court's decision to end Roe v. Wade.

"Million of babies will be saved from death by abortion due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Hallelujah! #allglorybetoGod," Elise wrote on her social media.

Elise showcased Psalm 139:13-14 as a reason.

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonder are your works; my soul knows it very well."

Knowing she would face backlash, Elise shut down the comments and made her profile private.

Other entertainers and women of color disagreed with the decision.

Of course, Vice President Kamala Harris, Duchess Meghan of Sussex, former first lady Michelle Obama have condemned the decision. 

These women are often attacked by the far-right. 

Duchess Meghan (nee Markle), Vice President Harris and Mrs. Obama are directly targeted by Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and white extremists online for having opinions. After all, they're Black women and they "need to know their place" when it comes to whatever white man is saying.

Set It Off was a film from F. Gary Gary. He is also known for the movie Straight Outta Compton.

This movie is a crime drama that involved four Black women plotting heists of Los Angeles banks.

The four women each run into a tragic event that sparks their lust for money and violence.

Elise who made her film debut as a single mother Tisean "T.T." Williams suffered a series of setbacks. 

She slept with the sexist and greedy owner Luther. Her son got into a vat of chemicals and got seriously injured. She ends up losing in to child custody. She at first was reluctant to commit robberies, but ended up joining Cleopatra "Cleo" Sims (Queen Latifah), former bank teller Francesca "Frankie" Sutton (Vivica A. Fox) and Lida "Stony" Newsom (Jada Pinkett Smith) in robbing banks.

She also killed Luther after he tried to pull a firearm on them after they found their loot stolen. 

In the movie T.T. was killed by the LAPD in a botched robbery. The women ended up going their separate ways. The only survivor was Stony who dealt with losing her brother to a police shooting.

The movie is a cult hit. It was the first gangster movie featuring African American women.

Elise has starred in movie and television shows.


SCOTUS Sides With Polluters!

Supreme Court says pollution regulations go too far.

Another culture war ruling in the latest war on science, women's health and civil rights.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of pollution and limits the Environmental Protection Agency in how to prevent companies from being held accountable for using greenhouse gases.

In a setback for the Biden administration’s efforts to combat climate change, the court said in a 6-3 ruling the EPA does not have broad authority to shift the nation’s energy production away from coal-burning power plants toward cleaner sources, including solar and wind power. 

"Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible 'solution to the crisis of the day.' But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme," Chief Justice Karen Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. "A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body," Roberts said.

Future measures to address carbon dioxide pollution must be limited to restrictions imposed on specific coal-fired plants, instead of pushing utilities to shift from coal toward renewable energy sources, the ruling said. 

In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the court's ruling "strips the Environmental Protection Agency of the power Congress gave it to respond to 'the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.'”

Kagan, who was joined in her dissent by Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor, said the limits the majority of the court imposed on the EPA’s authority "fly in the face of the statute Congress wrote. The majority says it is simply 'not plausible' that Congress enabled EPA to regulate power plants’ emissions through generation shifting. But that is just what Congress did when it broadly authorized EPA in Section 111 to select the 'best system of emission reduction' for power plants." 

An EPA spokesperson said the agency is reviewing the decision and "is committed to using the full scope of its existing authorities to protect public health and significantly reduce environmental pollution, which is in alignment with the growing clean energy economy,” the spokesperson said. 
These six extremists side with white supremacy.

In a statement, the White House called the ruling “another devastating decision from the court that aims to take our country backwards."

"Our lawyers will study the ruling carefully and we will find ways to move forward under federal law," the White House said. "At the same time, Congress must also act to accelerate America’s path to a clean, healthy, secure energy future."

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) blasted the ruling, which he said could have far reaching implications.

“Just like last week’s dangerously misguided and abhorrent decisions on gun safety and abortion, the extremist MAGA Court’s ruling today in West Virginia v. EPA will cause more needless deaths — in this instance because of more pollution that will exacerbate the climate crisis and make our air and water less clean and safe," he said in a statement. "But make no mistake — the consequences of this decision will ripple across the entire federal government, from the regulation of food and drugs to our nation’s health care system, all of which will put American lives at risk."

The case came before the court in an unusual posture. The challengers — a group of red states and coal companies — were not fighting any specific rule. Instead, they were contesting a federal appeals court decision that said the EPA could issue the kind of regulations they opposed.

The legal battle began during the Obama administration, when the EPA issued a plan for reducing carbon dioxide pollution from power plants by allowing their operators to get credit for generating more power from lower-emitting sources. A coalition of states and coal companies sued, saying the Clean Air Act gave the government authority only to restrict pollution from specific power plants, not to require power companies to shift to different methods of generation.

After the Supreme Court blocked the enforcement of that rule, the EPA abandoned it and instead, under the Washed Up 45 administration, proposed standards that would regulate only emissions from individual power plants. That relaxed restriction on greenhouse gases was then challenged by a different lineup of states and a coalition of environmental groups.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down the Washed Up 45 administration’s revised rule. As a result, no EPA restriction currently applies to carbon pollution from existing power plants. But the appeals court ruling left the door open for the Biden administration to resurrect the EPA’s earlier approach, involving a shift to cleaner sources.

That possibility is what the coal companies and red states were asking the Supreme Court to prevent.  

The North American Coal Corp. told the court that the EPA sought the power “to effectively dictate not only the technical details of how a coal plant operates, but also the big picture policy of how the nation generates its electricity.”

But several large public utilities, including Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Consolidated Edison, were on the Justice Department’s side. 
Breyer and Roberts swear in Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The ability of the EPA to regulate in this area “is critical to the power companies,” they said. “For years power companies have used emissions trading, generation shifting, and other measures to reduce emissions while keeping the lights on at reasonable cost.”

There was another ruling today came in favor of Biden's presidential powers. The Court ruled in a 5-4 decision repealing Washed Up 45's Migrant Protection Protocols, the so-called "Remain in Mexico"policy.

Two lower court rulings ruled in favor of Texas and Missouri. The former president's policies said that migrants seeking entry into the U.S. had to stay in Mexico as they await hearings. The Court believes that migrants and their host countries could do the same if Americans were to seek refuge. 

The decision was held by Roberts, Karen Kavanaugh, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer.

At the end of the ruling, Breyer officially retired at 12:00pm. The successor Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in within five minutes of the retirement.

Jackson will be the first African American woman on the Supreme Court. The Court will have four women on the court. Senate Republicans vow to oppose any nominee Biden puts up if said Justice retires or passes away.

So it is crucial to vote in the Midterms. The Republicans are emboldened by the Roe v. Wade decision.

They will not waste time to use culture wars and the sagging economy to win control of Congress.

They offer no real solutions to America's problems. Gun violence is still the number one threat in the United States and white nationalism is a deadly threat to the country. 

These rulings only setback our country. When the next session starts up, expect affirmative action, gay rights, contraception, presidential powers, religious freedom and science to be on the line.

Emmett Till Accuser Could Be Criminally Charged!

This is the most recent picture of the white woman who lied on Emmett Till.

Inside a Mississippi basement, a warrant was unearthed. The warrant was issued to the woman who accused Emmett Till of whistling at her. Her then husband and his half-brother kidnapped Emmett, shot him in the head, tied him to a cotton gin, pulled out his eyes, beat him to a pulp and then toss his corpse into the Tallahatchie River. They were acquitted of his murder by an all-white jury.

Mamie Till, the distraught mother of Emmett allowed Jet Magazine to take a photo of his corpse in a Chicago funeral home. The image captured the world's attention and sparked the Civil Rights Movement.

It lead to Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson to do something.

There's still no justice for Emmett Till.

The woman, known as Carolyn Bryant (now Domham) is living somewhere in America. She became a pariah after the trial. Matter of fact, she was a Karen before the name was term a pejorative. 

Now the Till family estate is hoping that Mississippi is willing to seek an arrest of the woman.

The Emmett Till Law was signed by President Joe Biden in 2022. It took a generation for this to happen though. Many times, Republicans have blocked it. Especially white nationalist Sen. Karen Paul (R-KY) who often held up votes when it came to civil rights.

Now the warrant addressed the name as --- Mrs. Roy Bryant -- her then husband and married name.

It was discovered by searchers inside a file folder placed in a box. It was inside the Leflore County courthouse. 

Now it is not really possible that the state could charge the woman. We don't know if she is still alive.

I mean if she still alive, it's going to be nearly impossible to send her to the county lockup.

But if they could sue the hell out of her and the estate, then Emmett Till can finally get the justice he deserves. 

Nonetheless, we must demand justice for Emmett Till. He was wrongfully killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman. His death is a tragic tale of being a young Black boy in the South.

Money, Mississippi is a forgotten town. It still exist and the old grocery store that Roy and Carolyn owned is destroyed. But the remains are still there and the state had made it a historical marker.

The Pied Piper Sing Sings!

Over for the Pied Piper of R&B.

The former R&B singer was sentenced in his state trial. Robert Sylvester Kelly, 55 will spend 30 years in the iron college. He still awaits a federal trial in which he could face LIFE in the iron college.

The sexual predator as sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, following his conviction last year on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges stemming from his efforts over years to use his fame to ensnare victims he sexually abused.

Prosecutors had asked the judge to sentence the predator to more than 25 years behind bars, while his defense attorneys asked for 10 or fewer, saying prosecutors' request was "tantamount to a life sentence."

Survivors of the sexual predator's abuse held hands and prayed as US District Court Judge Ann Donnelly began reading his sentence. The sexual predator -- who wore a tan prison uniform, dark-rimmed glasses and a black mask at the hearing in federal court in Brooklyn -- showed no emotion.

"You left in your wake a trail of broken lives," Donnelly told the sexual predator

In deciding the sentence, Donnelly said she considered the sexual predator's own traumatic childhood, during which his attorneys said he was repeatedly sexually abused by a family member and a landlord.

"It may explain, at least in part, what led to your behavior," the judge said. "It most surely is not an excuse."

Jovante Cunningham, a former backup singer for the sexual predator praised the sentence.

"I started this journey 30 years ago," Cunningham said outside the court after the hearing. "There wasn't a day in my life up until this moment that I actually believed that the judicial system would come through for Black and brown girls. I stand here very proud of my judicial system, very proud of my fellow survivors and very pleased with the outcome."

A jury convicted the sexual predator last September on nine counts, including one charge of racketeering and eight counts of violations of the Mann Act, a sex trafficking law. Prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York accused the sexual predator of using his status as a celebrity and a "network of people at his disposal to target girls, boys and young women for his own sexual gratification."

The five-week federal trial in Brooklyn included testimony from witnesses who said they were sexually and physically abused by sexual predator. The court also heard from people involved with orchestrating the disgraced R&B singer's 1994 marriage to the late singer Aaliyah when she was just 15 years old and he was an adult after she believed she'd gotten pregnant.

The King of R&B is now a federal intern.

The sexual predator's attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, said he would not address the court, pointing to the other criminal case faced by the sexual predator, but said before the sentence was read that her client "rejects that he is this monster."

"He accepts that he is a flawed individual," Bonjean said, "but he is not this one-dimensional monster that the government has portrayed and the media has portrayed."

The sexual predator made his only comment in response to the judge after Bonjean said he wouldn't speak: "Yes, your honor, that's my wish."

Bonjean said she advised the sexual predator not to speak at the sentencing because of pending litigation against him, but added, "he has regrets. And he is sad. Nobody wants to hear what he heard today."

Stephen Breyer Retires!

Stephen Breyer retires at noon on June 30.

The Supreme Court justice announces that on June 30, he will formally retire. His successor Ketanji Brown Jackson will join the Court in September. 

In a letter to President Joe Biden, Breyer said it had been his "great honor" to participate as a judge in the "effort to maintain our Constitution and the Rule of Law."

He said that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is prepared to "take the prescribed oaths" to begin her service as the 116th member of the court.

The fact that the court will issue final opinions and orders on the same day reflects a more expedited timeline than past terms. It suggests that the justices -- who have been subject to death threats since the release of a draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade are eager for the momentous and divisive term to end as soon as possible.

There are two big cases awaiting resolution concerning the environment and immigration.

Breyer, who was appointed to the court in 1994 by then-President Bill Clinton, announced his retirement plans in January. The highly anticipated decision was met with a collective sigh of relief by Democrats, who feared the possibility of losing the seat to a future Republican president should the 83-year-old jurist ignore an intense pressure campaign from the left, which urged him to leave the court while Biden had a clear path to replace him.

A consistent liberal vote on the Supreme Court with an unflappable belief in the US system of government and a pragmatic view of the law, Breyer has sought to focus the law on how it could work for the average citizen. He was no firebrand and was quick to say that the Supreme Court couldn't solve all of society's problems. He often stressed that the court shouldn't be seen as part of the political branches but recognized that certain opinions could be unpopular.

In his later years on the court, he was best known for a dissent he wrote in 2015 in a case concerning execution by lethal injection. He took the opportunity to write separately and suggest to the court that it take up the constitutionality of the death penalty.

In the opinion, Breyer wrote that after spending many years on the court reviewing countless death penalty cases, he had come to question whether innocent people had been executed. He also feared that the penalty was being applied arbitrarily across the country. He noted that, in some cases, death row inmates could spend years -- sometimes in solitary confinement -- waiting for their executions.

Jackson, Breyer's replacement, was confirmed by the Senate in April by a vote of 53-47, with three Republicans joining Democrats to vote in favor. Though her addition to the bench doesn't change the ideological balance of the court, Jackson will be the first Black woman to serve on the highest court in the nation.

Cassidy Hutchinson Fears For Her Life!

Her brave testimony put her life in danger.

After yesterday's testimony at the Jan. 6 Committee, Cassidy Hutchinson is now in fear of her life.

She revealed some damning allegations under oath about the former president during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Her revelations have rocked Washington, DC. She supported this guy and will likely support him in 2024. She fears that telling the truth could put her life in danger.

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is also concerned and they have referred the witness to the Justice Department.

Of course, Washed Up 45 dismissed her and many Republicans claim she is Amber Heard 2.0, but the testimony really shook the core of the former president.

It literally suggested that the former president did not care whether his supporters had firearms on the grounds, he didn't care if anyone in Congress was hurt and certainly he demanded the Secret Service to drive him to the Capitol. When Secret Service refused, he lunged at the driver and threatened to have him removed.

Did you know that President Joe Biden had a new Secret Service detail? 

He got rid of those members who he felt that many were loyal to the former president and they could put his life in danger.

Also Fox lost viewership whenever the committee hearings are on. Apparently, the far-right isn't interested in holding those responsible for the deadly encounter. 

Washed Up 45 has previously denied reporting on Hutchinson's leaked testimony, claiming on his Truth Social platform earlier this month that he "never said, or even thought of saying, 'Hang Mike Pence.'"

"This is either a made up story by somebody looking to become a star, or fake news!" he wrote at the time.

But a person close to the former president said he is nervous about Tuesday's hearing, which will feature live testimony from Hutchinson and "present recently obtained evidence," the committee announced Monday. Prior to the committee's announcement on Monday, this person said Washed Up 45 was feeling triumphant amid back-to-back Supreme Court decisions protecting a right to conceal carry a gun and ending the constitutional right to abortion.

"He definitely wasn't expecting a twist like this," said the person close to the former president

The former President and his allies are planning to cast Hutchinson as a junior aide who had little influence inside the West Wing, despite her proximity to both the then-President and his then-chief of staff. Hutchinson served in the Office of Legislative Affairs prior to becoming a top aide to former chief of staff Meadows and was an eyewitness to several key episodes leading up to January 6, in addition to witnessing some of the former president's real-time reactions that day.

Washed Up 45 is specifically concerned about what Hutchinson could say about his state of mind and response to the rioters on January 6, said a second person close to him.

Hutchinson's proximity to Meadows has put the former White House chief of staff on high alert ahead of Tuesday's hearing.

Hutchison "operated like an executive assistant to him," said a person familiar with their relationship and her insight into his day-to-day schedule, conversations, and interactions with Washed Up 45 is unrivaled.

"I think the committee has held their fire on Meadows so far but today's going to be a Meadows day," the person said.

Meadows personally promoted Hutchinson from the White House Office of Legislative Affairs to his West Wing office, where this person said "she was given enormous access and enormous visibility" into his relationship with the former president and several top GOP lawmakers.

A second person familiar with the matter said Hutchinson received zero support from Meadows as she became entangled in the January 6 committee's investigation but has remained in touch with some of his other aides.

Now, Meadows and his allies are worried that could come back to haunt him.

They will be watching Tuesday's hearing closely to see what new information Hutchinson reveals in her sworn testimony, said the second source, who noted that Meadows is specifically concerned that her appearance could further strain his relationship with the former president.

Washed Up 45 has privately complained to allies in recent months about text messages that Meadows turned over to the House panel before halting his cooperation, and a book Meadows wrote that contained startling new details about the severity of the former president's battle with COVID-19 also angered the former president.


Oh No, Lil Kim!

Lil Kim went too far with plastic surgery.

Shocking image of rapper Lil Kim.

Plastic surgery has gone extreme for the Brooklyn rapper. I mean, whoa!

Kimberly D. Jones, 47 performed at the BET Awards on Sunday with her old friend Sean "Puffy" Combs, known as Diddy as he accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award. She has been through a series of numerous plastic surgeries and it's starting to become a nightmare. It was alleged that Biggie Smalls hit her and broke her nose.

Kim decided to get surgery to fix her nose. Then of course, she believed that she wasn't pretty enough and soon started bleaching her skin, getting liposuction and lip injections. Then of course it accelerated.

It also led to the notorious troll 50 Cent calling her an owl because of her plastic surgery.

I've talked about it a few years back. And now the junk food media is talking about it. Lil' Kim is going off the deep end. It appears that Lil' Kim is looking a little bit pale these days.

We've talked about skin bleaching awhile back. It seems like it's about to be brought to the limelight now that many in the junk food media accused the Brooklyn rapper of bleaching her skin.

It's no secret that Lil' Kim had numerous plastic surgery on her face, her breasts and her butt. Many speculate that her addiction to beauty has doomed her.

I'm not surprised that Black women are not fond of this new look. Many people believe that Lil' Kim is looking for attention. Kim is the mother of a 8-year old daughter Royal Reign. The father is a loser named Mr. Papers.

Mr. Papers gained fame for being the young buck who got the opportunity to knock up the Queen Bee. 

Cougar hunting and plastic surgery. A sign of the times. I am guessing it's looking like she's being taken through the washer a couple of times.

White Nationalist Boebert Survives Primary!

Pint size pain in the ass survives GOP primary.

The Karen is likely going to be a pain in the ass for another session. From your humble gun toting waitress, former part time sugar baby escort to a hardline far right extremist, Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO) wins her Republican primary. She is one of the many do nothing lawmakers who is always in the junk food media and not doing her job writing legislation.

Boebert, backed by Washed Up 45, has made a number of inflammatory remarks, and she has positioned herself as one of the most far-right members of Congress — winning herself national attention in the process. Earlier this year, Boebert and Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) heckled President Joe Biden at various points of his State of the Union address.

Boebert, who faces a scandal involving mileage reimbursement from her campaign account, has raised roughly $5 million for her campaign during her first term in Congress.

State senator Karen Coram pitched himself to voters as more focused on legislating than generating buzz among conservatives. But he was far outraised and outspent by Boebert.

Former Aspen City Council member Adam Frisch, community organizer Soledad Sandoval and engineer Alex Walker competed in the Democratic primary.

The newly drawn district still leans significantly to the right. The Cook Political Report rates the contest as solidly Republican.

Boebert had learned that her restaurant is at risk of closing. The owner of the property has now decided to move on. The building in downtown Rifle that is home to her Shooters Grill has changed ownership, and she has been told her lease won’t be renewed, meaning August could be the restaurant’s last month in business.

However, Boebert said the new owner also has mentioned that he would be interested in selling the building to her and her husband, Jayson.

“It’s possible we’ll close in August. It’s possible we’ll buy the building and stay open,” she said.

Boebert loves flaunting her ass and caps.

She said she and her husband talked about buying the property years ago.

“It was a really good price” at the time, she said. “In hindsight we probably should have just done it then.”

The western-themed Shooters became renowned because of Boebert and her server staff openly carrying guns. The conservative Boebert, a staunch gun-rights advocate, went on in 2020 to upset incumbent Scott Tipton in the Republican primary and was elected that fall to Congress.

Boebert said the restaurant first opened nine years ago across the street from its current location, where it has been for perhaps six years.

Asked about the possibility of looking for a different location for Shooters, she said, “I’d have to pass. I have a couple other things going on in my life right now.”

“If it does close, it’s been a really great run, a lot of wonderful experience, being able to help people get their lives turned around,” she said.

She said she’s hired a lot of people who previously had been Garfield County Jail inmates, to give them another chance, and has given a lot of young people a start in the workplace.

Robb Elementary To Be Torn Down!

The junk food media leaves Uvalde.

We have literally moved on from Uvalde, Texas. The junk food media has focused on the Supreme Court and the culture war decisions it made. The mass shooting that killed 21 people and left a casualty trail is one of the most deadliest school shootings in American history.

The families have finally buried the victims.

The terrorist's grandmother was released from the hospital. She was the first victim of this callous attack. She is permanently disfigured from the shooting. 

The terrorist shot his grandmother in the head.

The city has removed its school resources police chief. The Uvalde school district’s police chief was put on leave Wednesday following allegations that he erred in his response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that left 19 students and two teachers dead.

Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Hal Harrell said that he put schools police Chief Pete Arredondo on administrative leave because the facts of what happened remain unclear. In a statement, Harrell did not address Arredondo’s actions as on-site commander during the attack but said he didn’t know when details of multiple investigations into the law enforcement response to the slayings would be revealed.

City council also denied Arredondo, Uvalde CISD police chief and recently elected council member, a leave of absence, leaving him open to being removed from city council after missing three meetings. Residents at the meeting called for Arredondo to leave or be removed from his city council post.

The Uvalde mayor is not popular. He was the guy who called Beto O'Rourke a "son of a bitch" when he crashed the press conference of Gov. Karen Abbott.

Karen McLaughlin is facing calls for his removal as well. He claims he is "pissed" at Abbott for not telling the truth about the mass shooting. However, he is mainly at fault too. He literally is suppressing the junk food media from getting information about the law being weak response.

McLaughlin told residents, concerned parents, and family who lost students in the May 24 mass shooting that he learned that the school would be demolished from a conversation with Uvalde CISD superintendent Hal Harrell.

"You can never ask a child to go back, or a teacher to go back in that school ever," McLaughlin said.

He didn't provide a timeline for the demolition. Harrell announced earlier this month that students from Robb Elementary will be split between Dalton Elementary School and Flores Elementary School in the next school year. 

The law literally wasted precious minutes.

President Joe Biden signed a gun reform bill that raises the age to purchase semiautomatic rifles to 21, closes the boyfriend loophole and gives funding for mental health.

It does not completely ban semiautomatic firearms. 

Gun violence continues on.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend’s social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline’s website or the Crisis Text Line’s website.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

Incumbent GOP Karen Loses To White Nationalist!

Another Republican incumbent heads home.

A Republican sheriff for Jackson County, Mississippi beats Rep. Karen Palazzo (R-MS).

The six-term lawmaker and supporter of Washed Up 45 lost to a candidate who is a white nationalist with a badge. The lawmaker lost his runoff election to Karen Ezell, who finished second in the primary.

The incumbent only pulled in 31% of the vote which was a warning sign that he was facing an uphill battle.

A Mississippi sheriff running on culture wars won.

Palazzo was at risk of losing his seat after an Office of Congressional Ethics reported in 2021 found that he misspent campaign funds and tapped staff to run errands for him. He was part of the Tea Party Movement which rose to infamy in 2010 and led to Washed Up 45 becoming the president. 

He defeated conservative Democrat Karen Taylor who later became a Republican.

Taylor wanted his seat back and challenged Palazzo. But in the end, Taylor proved to be more Republican than Taylor. 

Palazzo is a military veteran and he's been representing the 4th Congressional District since 2010.

White Nationalist Karen Beats GOP Rival!

White nationalist won her Republican primary.

Rep. Karen Miller (R-IL) defeats Rep. Karen Davis (R-IL) in a Republican primary. The woman who said that she thanks Washed Up 45 for protecting "white life" won and will likely be a do-nothing lawmaker for years to come.

Miller who attracted controversy over the weekend for making those remarks are a handful of Republican lawmakers who got the endorsement and easily defeated their opponents. The 15th Congressional District is redrawn and it's pretty friendly to Washed Up 45.

Miller had a 15-point edge over Davis, a Washed Up 45 supporter ran afoul of the former president because he supported the bipartisan commission investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

A Karen loses his primary.

Rep. Karen Rice (R-SC) and Rep. Karen McKinley (R-WV) had lost their primary challenges as well as Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC).

Davis said that Miller's "victory for white life" remarks are "just another part in a disturbing pattern of behavior she's displayed since coming to Congress," adding she "has demonstrated she is not fit for public office."

Miller has a stronger record in supporting the former president. She was one of the many House Republicans who refused to certify the election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Amtrak Deadly Encounters!

Deadly train incidents in America.

Two deadly incidents in two days. See in California, they will handle the problem and remedy it. In Missouri, it may take forever. Republicans are in charge. They rather not spend millions on focusing on fixing dangerous crossings for trains. 

Mainly here's the safety of dealing with railroad crossings.

Stop when you see the flashing lights, bells or the stop light.

Do not block the tracks.

A train does not stop on a dime. It takes up to a mile or more before the train comes to complete stop.

A train always has the right of way.

Anyone who trespasses on railroad tracks could be subject to arrest, fines and death.

Trains are fun to watch, but from a safe distance.

Do not try to beat a train, you will most likely lose. A train speed could be more than 45 mph and it could be mistaken as a slow train.

Amtrak confirmed two deadly encounters in California and Missouri. The deadly train incidents involve vehicles ignoring railroad crossings. Trains that ultimately go faster than 80 mph and the impact on riders.

Authorities said the passenger train was traveling westbound when it struck a sedan crossing the tracks near Brentwood, California, about 60 miles east of San Francisco, around 1pm. The crash sent the vehicle into a parked SUV roughly 60ft away, the East Bay Times reported.

Mercedes Regaldo, 51, Maria Nieves, 72, and Julia Mondragon, 41, were killed in the incident, according to the Contra Costa county coroner. The deceased were pronounced dead at the scene and two people, including a child, were airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries, officials said. No one on the train, which was carrying nearly 90 people, was injured.

The crossing where the crash occurred did not have guard rails or a train signal, which authorities said made it “highly potentially dangerous” as trains travel at up to 80mph through the area. Steve Aubert, a fire marshal with the East Contra Costa fire protection district, said there are one to two collisions at the crossing each year. “It’s in a rural area where there are no guards or signals,” Aubert said.

Three people are dead and at least 50 injured after an Amtrak train derailed Monday in Missouri, authorities said Monday evening.

Cpl. Justin Dunn, a spokesperson for Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop B, told reporters that two of the people who were killed were aboard the train while the third was in a dump truck that the train struck.

Authorities said the tragic incident happened at an uncontrolled intersection -- without warning lights or motion gates -- where a gravel road crossed the railroad tracks southwest of town.

Amtrak said the train collided with the dump truck at a public crossing near the city of Mendon at about 12:42 p.m. CT (1:42 p.m. ET).

California governor Gavin Newsom, Missouri governor Karen Parsons, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were notified of these tragedies.
