Federal Sandwich On A Hot Plate!

Another issue.

Former president Donald J. Trump is charged by the federal government for his mishandling of classified documents and his failure to obligate to a federal court order.

The 45th President of the United States has once again found himself in serious trouble for ignoring the orders of the National Archives and Records Administration when it ordered him to return documents he failed to classify. He allegedly shown these documents to people who had no top level intelligence.

As he is running for president again to starve off the incoming indictments, Trump is expected to turn himself in and be read his rights. The Republicans are back on conspiracy theories and whataboutism when it comes to crimes.

Expect President Joe Biden, former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as well as former secretary of state/former first lady Hillary Clinton to be mentioned by the far right (and especially Sean "Softball" Hannity).

Republicans are outraged that Special Council Jack Smith has a seven count indictment against the former president. After the FBI search of his Mar a Lago estate in August, we knew this could be something that would be big.

After all, Trump himself signed off laws making it a top level federal crime for mishandling classified documents.

A federal grand jury investigating Donald Trump in Florida heard from at least one additional witness Wednesday amid signs that the Justice Department was moving toward a possible indictment over the former president’s mishandling of classified documents.

In the last week, his lawyers have met with Justice Department officials to argue against an indictment; Trump has issued social media posts in which he suggested he anticipated that he might be charged; and a former top aide appeared before a grand jury in Miami — an indication, legal experts said, that prosecutors had settled on Florida rather than Washington as an appropriate venue for charges.

In addition, several media reports Wednesday evening said prosecutors had recently issued the Trump legal team a target letter, which is often but not always a precursor to criminal charges. The Justice Department defines a target as someone whom prosecutors have substantial evidence linking to a crime.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Trump got Jack'd.

“I think the signal is increasingly that the charges against the former president will be in Florida,” said Brandon Van Grack, a former Justice Department prosecutor and a key lawyer on an earlier special counsel team that investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.

Lawyers for Trump did not return calls seeking comment. The Associated Press has not independently confirmed the existence of a target letter. A Trump spokesman would not confirm or deny receiving a letter and a Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment.

Earlier in the day, Taylor Budowich, who had served as a spokesman for Trump after his presidency and now runs a pro-Trump super PAC, testified before the grand jury. He confirmed his appearance on Twitter, writing, “Today, in what can only be described as a bogus and deeply troubling effort to use the power of government to ‘get’ Trump, I fulfilled a legal obligation to testify in front a federal grand jury and I answered every question honestly.”

A variety of witnesses, including lawyers for Trump, close aides to the former president and officials with the Trump Organization, have appeared over the past year before the grand jury in Washington as part of a Justice Department special counsel investigation into Trump over the retention of hundreds of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and potential obstruction of the government’s efforts to reclaim the records.

But the existence of a separate grand jury in Florida adds a wrinkle to an investigation that has been largely shrouded in mystery and has been thought to be in its end stages. It suggests that prosecutors may be moving toward bringing criminal charges in Florida, where the documents were taken after Trump left the White House and where multiple acts of alleged obstruction have occurred, instead of in Washington.

Though the bulk of the investigative work has been done in Washington, prosecutors could simply read key testimony to the Florida grand jury or have a summary witness summarize all the key evidence, Van Grack said.

Trump’s lawyers met at the Justice Department on Monday with officials including special counsel Jack Smith, part of an effort by the legal team to raise concerns about what they say is prosecutorial misconduct and to try to argue against a potential indictment. After that meeting, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform in capital letters: “How can DOJ possibly charge me, who did nothing wrong,” when no other presidents have been charged.

He also called into a radio show, where he confirmed the meeting with his lawyers and said: “Well, I can just say this: They did go in and they saw ’em and they said very unfair. No other president has ever been charged with anything like this.’”

On Wednesday, he issued a new social media post saying, “No one has told me I’m being indicted, and I shouldn’t be because I’ve done NOTHING wrong, but I have assumed for years that I am a Target of the WEAPONIZED DOJ & FBI.”

The investigation has focused not only on the possession of classified documents, including at the top-secret level, but also on the refusal of Trump to return the records when asked, and on possible obstruction.

The FBI last year issued a subpoena for classified records at the property, and after coming to suspect that Trump and his representatives had not returned all the documents, returned with a search warrant and recovered an additional 100 with classification markings.

Beyond the Mar-a-Lago investigation, another probe in Washington also conducted by Smith centers on efforts by Trump and his allies to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Washed Up Actor Finally Indicted For Jan. 6!

Washed up actor finally charged.

Comedians were shocked to see him at the U.S. Capitol attacking cops and breaking in. 

They knew he had political support for Washed Up 45 but didn't expect him to believe the bullshit about the election being stolen and being driven with rage to attack democracy.

Jay Johnston, a comedian and voice actor was finally indicted for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

He is best known for being the voice of Bob Belcher's nemesis Jimmy Pesto on Bob's Burgers. He was fired out the cannon as the character, banned from Fox and his other projects were terminated as well.

Folks were wondering why it took so long!

Johnston faces charges of felony obstruction of officers during civil disorder, as well as several misdemeanor offenses, according to court documents.

Johnston was one of hundreds of Jan. 6 participants identified by online sleuths who have not been arrested. A Long Island, New York, funeral home owner was also arrested Wednesday.

Court documents say Johnston entered the upper west tunnel of the Capitol, where some of the most violent attacks of the attack on Jan. 6, 2021, took place, and "assisted at least three other rioters by pouring water on the rioters' faces." He then used a stolen Capitol Police shield as rioters battled with police, the documents say.

An attorney representing Johnston contacted the FBI's National Threat Operations Center on March 8, 2021, according to the FBI. Three of Johnston's current or former associates told the FBI that Jan. 6 photos depicted Johnston, and one of the associates provided a message in which Johnston acknowledged being at the Capitol on Jan. 6, it said.

More than 1,000 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol attack, and hundreds more arrests are in the works.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Johnston faces 1 year to 10 years if convicted.

Right Wing Group Wants CUNY To Deny Woman A Law Degree Because She Protesting Against Israeli Crimes!

The far right and some Democrats hates "free speech". Fatima Mousa Mohammed criticizes Israeli influence in American politics and they immediately call her anti-semitic.

The Republicans and some Democrats have this notion that criticism of the state of Israel is equal to antisemitism. They seriously call for boycotts and censorship of those who dare speak against the inhumane crimes done by the Israeli government. 

Saying "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is apparently inappropriate to say. Worthless media personality Marc Lamont Hill was fired from CNN because he criticized Israel.

Making criticism of Israel as a Muslim is hate speech says the Republicans and Democrats who harbor Islamophobia and bigotry. Or maybe it's the contributions from America Israel Public Affairs Committee to stifle criticism of Israel.

Being a celebrity who criticize Israel and you're expecting Fox and companies to attack you. Taking a picture with a critic who is against Israeli interest is also guilt by association.

We see several lawmakers in Washington who are embolden by this. The AIPAC and several groups with ties to Israel are trying to stifle speech when it comes to addressing war crimes, desplacement, bigotry, neo fascism and warmongering done by the Israeli government.

The so called "freedom of speech" crowd would infuriate Muslims by drawing the Prophet Mohammed knowing it is blasphemy to depict the spiritual imam as any formation.

They run around literally saying "radical Islam" when it comes to a domestic terrorism attack done by a Muslim. They get offended when they are called to task on right wing domestic terrorism or white supremacist terrorism.

Please take note, @NYSHumanRights, that this video was hidden by @CUNYLaw and @CUNY until FOILed by us and equally demanded by the bigots who perpetrated and support its evil (and illegal) sentiments.

— SAFE CUNY (@SAFECUNY) May 28, 2023

They believe Muslim countries are harboring terrorist. They don't want Islamic states.

But when it comes to Israel, a secular independent country, they want a Jewish state.

Fatima Mousa Mohammed speaks her mind and some far right group called Stop Anti-Semitism is calling for her law degree to be revoked and the CUNY chancellor to step down.

Fatima's commencement was called “hate speech” because she criticized Israel and the spread of hate across the world. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), an Islamophobe and conservative Democrat is calling for a federal civil rights probe of antisemitism of CUNY.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) called Mohammed “crazed by hatred for Israel as a Jewish State” and said her speech was “anti-Israel derangement syndrome at work.”

Torres, a gay Black lawmaker who vows to torment Rep. George Santos (R-NY), a gay con artist who was elected as a lawmaker clearly is getting money from AIPAC. He does not see the rights and freedoms of Palestinians necessary. He is a do nothing lawmaker.

Gottheimer is a wolf in sheep's clothing Democrat. Like Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), this lawmaker Gottheimer will cozy up with far right Republicans. He will oppose President Joe Biden's agenda and side with bigots attacking Muslim lawmakers Andre Carson (D-IN), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

The group StopAntisemitism — which monitors Jew hatred on college campuses — said the second consecutive year of anti-Jewish bile at the law school was the last straw for the CUNY boss.

There is no anti-Jewish bile. It is criticism of Israel and its literal war crimes and destruction of the Palestinians.

Fatima has a right to speak her mind like everyone else. Injustice is not anti-semitic.

With Benjamin Netanyahu back in power, the country is close to a civil war due to his government's push to stop its Supreme Court from ruling fairly.

Pat Robertson Passed Away!

Pat Robertson, the white nationalist televangelist died.

Another far right bigot bites the dust. But his legacy lives on through his son and his media empire. The founder of Christian Broadcasting Network and the former host of the far right infomercial The 700 Club has died at the age of 93.

Pat Robertson has died. The family confirmed his passing.

Marion Gordon Robertson, the son of a Dixiecrat senator Absalom Willis Robertson lived his life hating on Blacks, immigrants, gays and Democrats.

His dad was a proud white nationalist who stood against civil rights. He was one of 20 Democrats in the South that became Republican shortly after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed. 

Robertson's televangelist and propaganda sparked the Reagan Revolution. He was very instrumental in the culture wars which America is currently dealing with.

Republicans saw Robertson and his 700 Club as a venue to push their ass backwards policies. 

Robertson, a religious broadcaster who turned a tiny Virginia station into the global Christian Broadcasting Network, tried a run for president and helped make religion central to Republican Party politics in America through his Christian Coalition, has died. He was 93.

Robertson’s death Thursday was announced by his broadcasting network. No cause was given.

Robertson’s enterprises also included Regent University, an evangelical Christian school in Virginia Beach; the American Center for Law and Justice, which defends the First Amendment rights of religious people; and Operation Blessing, an international humanitarian organization.

For more than a half-century, Robertson was a familiar presence in American living rooms, known for his “700 Club” television show, and in later years, his televised pronouncements of God’s judgment, blaming natural disasters on everything from homosexuality to the teaching of evolution.

The money poured in as he solicited donations, his influence soared, and he brought a huge following with him when he moved directly into politics by seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 1988.

Robertson pioneered the now-common strategy of courting Iowa’s network of evangelical Christian churches, and finished in second place in the Iowa caucuses, ahead of Vice President George H.W. Bush.

His masterstroke was insisting that three million followers across the U.S. sign petitions before he would decide to run, Robertson biographer Jeffrey K. Hadden said. The tactic gave him an army.

″He asked people to pledge that they’d work for him, pray for him and give him money,” Hadden, a University of Virginia sociologist, told The Associated Press in 1988. ″Political historians may view it as one of the most ingenious things a candidate ever did.″

As long as the candidate was a Republican who supported his views, Robertson backed. Washed Up 45 was a true sinner and Robertson loved him.

Robertson later endorsed Bush, who won the presidency. Pursuit of Iowa’s evangelicals is now a ritual for Republican hopefuls, including those currently seeking the White House in 2024.

Robertson started the Christian Coalition in Chesapeake in 1989, saying it would further his campaign’s ideals. The coalition became a major political force in the 1990s, mobilizing conservative voters through grass-roots activities.

By the time of his resignation as the coalition’s president in 2001 — Robertson said he wanted to concentrate on ministerial work — his impact on both religion and politics in the U.S. was “enormous,” according to John C. Green, an emeritus political science professor at The University of Akron.

Many followed the path Robertson cut in religious broadcasting, Green told the AP in 2021. In American politics, Robertson helped “cement the alliance between conservative Christians and the Republican Party.”

By the time of his resignation as the coalition’s president in 2001 — Robertson said he wanted to concentrate on ministerial work — his impact on both religion and politics in the U.S. was “enormous,” according to John C. Green, an emeritus political science professor at The University of Akron.

Many followed the path Robertson cut in religious broadcasting, Green told the AP in 2021. In American politics, Robertson helped “cement the alliance between conservative Christians and the Republican Party.”

After graduating from Washington and Lee University, he served as assistant adjutant of the 1st Marine Division in Korea.

He received a law degree from Yale University Law School, but failed the bar exam and chose not to pursue a law career.

Robertson met his wife, Adelia “Dede” Elmer, at Yale in 1952. He was a Southern Baptist, she was a Catholic, earning a master’s in nursing. Eighteen months later, they ran off to be married by a justice of the peace, knowing neither family would approve.

Robertson was interested in politics until he found religion, Dede Robertson told the AP in 1987. He stunned her by pouring out their liquor, tearing a nude print off the wall and declaring he had found the Lord.

They moved into a commune in New York City’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood because Robertson said God told him to sell all his possessions and minister to the poor. She was tempted to return home to Ohio, “but I realized that was not what the Lord would have me do ... I had promised to stay, so I did,” she told the AP.

Robertson received a master’s in divinity from New York Theological Seminary in 1959, then drove south with his family to buy a bankrupt UHF television station in Portsmouth, Va. He said he had just $70 in his pocket, but soon found investors, and CBN went on the air on Oct. 1, 1961. Established as a tax-exempt religious nonprofit, CBN brought in hundreds of millions, disclosing $321 million in “ministry support” in 2022 alone.

One of Robertson’s innovations was to use the secular talk-show format on the network’s flagship show, the “700 Club,” which grew out of a telethon when Robertson asked 700 viewers for monthly $10 contributions. It was more suited to television than traditional revival meetings or church services, and gained a huge audience.

“Here’s a well-educated person having sophisticated conversations with a wide variety of guests on a wide variety of topics,” said Green, the University of Akron political science professor. “It was with a religious inflection to be sure. But it was an approach that took up everyday concerns.”

His guests eventually included several U.S. presidents — Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Washed Up 45.

At times, his on-air pronouncements drew criticism.

He claimed that the terrorist attacks that killed thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001 were caused by God, angered by the federal courts, pornography, abortion rights and church-state separation. Talking again about 9-11 on his TV show a year later, Robertson described Islam as a violent religion that wants to “dominate” and “destroy,” prompting President George W. Bush to distance himself and say Islam is a peaceful and respectful religion.

He called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in 2005. Later that year, he warned residents of a rural Pennsylvania town not to be surprised if disaster struck them because they voted out school board members who favored teaching “intelligent design” over evolution. And in 1998, he said Orlando, Florida, should beware of hurricanes after allowing the annual Gay Days event.

In 2014, he angered Kenyans when he warned that towels in Kenya could transmit AIDS. CBN issued a correction, saying Robertson “misspoke about the possibility of getting AIDS through towels.”

Now he can be buried next to his late wife Dede. They both can rot with the dirt.

Robertson also could be unpredictable: In 2010, he called for ending mandatory prison sentences for marijuana possession convictions. Two years later, he said on the “700 Club” that marijuana should be legalized and treated like alcohol because the government’s war on drugs had failed.

Robertson condemned Democrats caught up in sex scandals, saying for example that President Bill Clinton turned the White House into a playpen for sexual freedom. But he helped solidify evangelical support for Washed Up 45, dismissing the candidate’s sexually predatory comments about women as an attempt “to look like he’s macho.”

After Washed Up 45 took office, Robertson interviewed the president at the White House. And CBN welcomed his advisers, such as Kellyanne Conway, as guests.

But after Washed Up 45 lost to Joe Biden in 2020, Robertson said the former president was living in an “alternate reality” and should “move on,” news outlets reported.

Robertson’s son, Gordon, succeeded him in December 2007 as chief executive of CBN, which is now based in Virginia Beach. Robertson remained chairman of the network and continued to appear on the “700 Club.”

Robertson stepped down as host of the show after half a century in 2021, with his son Gordon taking over the weekday show.

Robertson also was founder and chairman of International Family Entertainment Inc., parent of The Family Channel basic cable TV network. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. bought IFE in 1997.

Regent University, where classes began in Virginia Beach in 1978, now has more than 30,000 alumni, CBN said in a statement.

Robertson wrote 15 books, including “The Turning Tide” and “The New World Order.”

His wife Dede, who was a founding board member of CBN, died last year at the age of 94. The couple had four children, 14 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, CBN said in a statement.

Chris Christie Jump Into The Game Again!

Gonna be hard to back a guy who couldn't stand up to Washed Up 45.

Washed Up 45 has already turned on Mike Pence and the latest 2024 contender, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie who announced his second run for president. He launched his bid in New Hampshire.

Christie wasted no time going after the former president while launching his presidential campaign on Tuesday, calling the former president and current Republican primary front-runner a “lonely, self-consumed, self-serving mirror hog” and arguing that he’s the only one who can stop him.

A onetime federal prosecutor, Christie was among the crowded field of 2016 Republican presidential candidates steamrolled by the former reality TV star. Now that Washed Up 45 is running for the White House a third time, this year’s crop of rivals have no choice but to criticize him relentlessly, or risk political history repeating itself, Christie says.

Kicking off his campaign with a town hall at Saint Anselm College, Christie suggested that other top Republicans have been afraid to challenge Washed Up 45 or even mention his name much while campaigning — but made it clear he had no such qualms.

“A lonely, self-consumed, self-serving mirror hog is not a leader,” Christie said, adding, “The person I am talking about, who is obsessed with the mirror, who never admits a mistake, who never admits a fault, who always finds someone else and something else to blame for whatever goes wrong — but finds every reason to take credit for anything that goes right — is Donald Trump.”

Christie enters a growing primary field that already includes the former president, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. Former Vice President Mike Pence will be formally launching his own campaign in Iowa on Wednesday.

Mere weeks after dropping out of the 2016 race, Christie became the first sitting governor and former rival to endorse the controversial figure. He went on to become a close off-and-on adviser before finally breaking with the former president over his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election.

During his time as governor, Christie established a reputation as a fighter with a knack for creating viral moments of confrontation. But he faces an uphill battle to the nomination in a party that remains closely aligned with the former president, despite Washed Up 45’s reelection loss in 2020 and Republicans’ poorer-than-expected showing in the 2022 midterm elections.

Christie is aiming at Washed Up 45 and President Joe Biden for their age, their policies and he is touting his accomplishments as a Republican governor in a Democratic state.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), the former Democrat who flipped to become a Republican endorsed the former president.

Washed Up 45 already took aim at his weight by making a doctored video of Christie speaking while holding a food platter.

I’m the only candidate who can take on Donald Trump and tell the truth.

Every other Republican thinks they can tiptoe around him. I don’t tiptoe.

Get me on the stage and get your popcorn ready: https://t.co/6bndZTT9OO

— Chris Christie (@GovChristie) June 6, 2023

Anti-Washed Up 45 Republicans are particularly eager to see Christie spar with the former president on a debate stage. But that happen only if Washed Up 45 agrees to participate in primary debates and Christie meets the stringent fundraising criteria set by the Republican National Committee for participation.

JP Marzullo, a former state representative and former vice chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, previously backed the former president but is now supporting Christie.

“I think he’ll actually unite some of the voters, and he’ll get to independents,” Marzullo said of the former governor, adding, “I think it’s time for a change.”

Christie began criticizing the former president by name mere moments into his half-hour speech Tuesday, saying the former president had “made us smaller by dividing us even further and pitting us one against the other.”

Republicans still blame Christie for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential election loss

He also said President Joe Biden “is doing the same thing, just on the other side.” Christie noted that he’d known Biden for decades and that he was a nice guy, but said that the president is “out of his depth” because “he’s not the guy he used to be,” referencing the 80-year-old Biden’s advanced age.

But Christie’s chief target was the former president.

“There’s a big argument in our country right now about whether character matters, and we have leaders who have shown us over and over again that not only are they devoid of character, they don’t care.” Christie said. “We can’t dismiss the question of character anymore, everybody. If we do, we get what we deserve, and we will have to own it.”

Christie advisers are planning a nontraditional, nationally focused campaign based on earned media attention, instead of focusing on specific states. Their candidate said staying aggressive against Washed Up 45 was key and scoffed Tuesday at what he said were his failed promises, including a pledge to wall off the entire southern U.S. border and have Mexico pay for it.

“The reason I’m going after Trump is twofold,” Christie said. “One, he deserves it. And two, it’s the way to win.”

Christie will test the appetite among Republican voters for someone who has expressed support for many of the former president's policies but has criticized the former president’s conduct. The former governor has urged the party to move on or risk future losses.

Other Republicans with similar views, including former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, have opted against their own campaigns, expressing concerns that having more candidates in the race will only benefit Washed Up 45.

Christie was at one point seen as one of the Republican Party’s brightest political stars as the popular Republican governor of a Democratic state. But despite persistent urging from top donors and party officials, he declined to run for president in 2012. By the time he announced in 2016, his reputation had been tarnished by the “Bridgegate” scandal in which aides were accused of wreaking traffic havoc in Fort Lee, New Jersey, in an apparent effort to punish the city’s mayor for failing to endorse his reelection bid.

The former governor has known the former president for nearly 20 years but their relationship has been complicated. Christie was on the shortlist to serve as his vice president, oversaw Washed Up 45’s early White House transition efforts, said he was offered — and turned down — multiple Cabinet positions, and helped the former president prepare for each of his general election debates in 2016 and 2020.

But Christie also clashed with the former president at times and has described the former president’s refusal to accept his 2020 election loss to Biden as a breaking point.

Christie opting to start his 2024 bid at a New Hampshire town hall recalled his first run at the White House, when he focused on the state, holding dozens of New Hampshire town hall events only to finish sixth in its primary. He dropped out of that race shortly afterward.

After his speech Tuesday, Christie took extended questions from the audience — a common occurrence in early voting states that DeSantis was hesitant to do when launching his campaign. Christie also talked openly about his underwhelming 2016 performance, despite concentrating so heavily on New Hampshire.

“I lost,” Christie laughed. “You people did that to me in 2016.”

 

Graduated To The Cemetery: Mass Shooting In Richmond, Virginia!

Another senseless mass shooting. Graduation celebration turns deadly in Richmond, Virginia.

Mass shooting 327.

Other cities include: Jackson, MS; Dayton, OH; Huntsville, AL; Sunnyvale, TX; Pensacola, FL; Columbia, MO; Albuquerque; Cincinnati; Chicago; Cleveland; Memphis; San Antonio and Portland, OR.

Most of these recent mass shootings are in states with Republican governors and state legislators.

The one that got national news has President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) and the members of the U.S. Representatives being notified of the latest mass shooting in America.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

These lawmakers will do the usual "thoughts and prayers" and "our hearts goes out to" as well as the Republicans saying that "now it's not the time to talk" bullshit. 

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals  are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC. 

What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

4. Realize - Mind you, that the types of firearms used by shooter are based on capacity which limits the time of reaction. As with rule 3, you have only less than a second to make a reaction when the shooter is set on sights. So there's no real solution to save your life in the event of an active shooter. The best thing to do is understand, that anywhere in the United States could be a target of a mass shooting. Congress isn't doing a damn thing about it.

Is anything safe?

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.

You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

In Richmond, Virginia, a graduation celebration for the class of 2023 ends with tragedy.

A gunman managed to shoot seven people, two fatally, when gunfire rang out Tuesday outside a downtown theater in Richmond, Virginia, where a high school graduation ceremony had just ended, causing hundreds of attendees to flee in panic, weep and clutch their children, authorities and witnesses said.

A 19-year-old suspect tried to escape on foot but was arrested and will be charged with two counts of second-degree murder, Interim Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards said during a nighttime news conference at which he confirmed the two fatalities.

Five others were wounded by the gunfire outside the state capital’s city-owned Altria Theater, which is across the street from a large, grassy park and in the middle of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus. At least 12 others were injured or treated for anxiety due to the mayhem, according to police.

“As they heard the gunfire, it was obviously chaos,” Edwards said. “We had hundreds of people in Monroe Park, so people scattered. It was very chaotic at the scene.”

Edwards said one of the people who was killed was an 18-year-old male student who had just graduated, while the other was a 36-year-old man who was there for the graduation. Their names were not released, but police believe the suspect, who was not immediately identified, knew at least one of the victims.

“This should have been a safe space. People should have felt safe at a graduation,” Edwards said.

“It’s just incredibly tragic that someone decided to bring a gun to this incident and rain terror on our community.”

Six people were brought to VCU Medical Center and their conditions ranged from serious to critical late Tuesday, VCU Health System spokesperson Mary Kate Brogan said.

Multiple handguns were recovered. Police initially said two suspects were detained, but Edwards said later that they determined one of them was not involved.

Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney vowed to ensure anyone responsible faces justice.

“This should not be happening anywhere,” Stoney said.

Officers inside the theater, where the graduation ceremony for Huguenot High School had been taking place, heard gunfire around 5:15 p.m. and radioed to police stationed outside, who found multiple victims, Edwards said.

School board member Jonathan Young told Richmond TV station WWBT that graduates and other attendees were leaving the building when they heard about 20 gunshots in rapid succession.

“That prompted, as you would expect, hundreds of persons in an effort to flee the gunfire to return to the building,” Young said.

“It materialized in a stampede,” he said.

Two people were treated for falls; one juvenile was struck by a car and sustained injuries that were not life-threatening; and nine people were treated at the scene for minor injuries or anxiety, according to police spokeswoman Tracy Walker.

Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras said the new graduates were outside taking photos with families and friends when the shooting broke out.

“I don’t have any more words on this,” Kamras said. “I’m just tired of seeing people get shot, our kids get shot. And I beg of the entire community to stop, to just stop.”

As he heard the gunshots and then sirens, neighbor John Willard, 69, stepped onto the balcony of his 18th-floor apartment. Below, he saw students fleeing in their graduation outfits and parents hugging children.

“There was one poor woman in front of the apartment block next to ours who was wailing and crying,” Willard said, adding that the scene left him deeply saddened.

Shawn Jackson, 18, and Renzo Smith, 36 were killed.

Edythe Payne was helping her daughter sell flowers outside the theater to students as they left the ceremony. She told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the shooting caused a panic on nearby Main Street, which was packed with people at the time.

“I felt bad because some elderly people were at the graduation and they got knocked down to the ground,” Payne said.

The school district said a different graduation scheduled for later Tuesday had been canceled “out of an abundance of caution” and schools would be closed Wednesday.

The mass shooting, the latest in a nation increasingly accustomed to them, prompted calls for reform.

“The gun violence epidemic is a public health crisis that we must address,” U.S. Rep. Jennifer McClellan, a Democrat whose district includes Richmond, said in a statement. “We cannot continue to live in fear. We must address the root causes of gun violence and pass common sense gun safety policies that protect our communities.”

Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, an ardent gun-rights advocate, said in remarks to news outlets near the scene that the problem lies not with guns but with criminals. She is a far right Black extremist.

“We have to figure out what’s going on in our communities,” she said.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.

Richmond city officials are calling for Congress to pass gun reform.

Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

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.

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

Chris Licht Out!

Chris Licht tried to turn CNN into Fox. It drove people away. Now he is gone.

Chris Licht made mistakes. Big mistakes.

Firing Brian Stelter, Don Lemon, Robin Meade and Chris Cuomo were to name a few. 

Having Washed Up 45 be in a town hall in which he called host Kaitlin Collins "nasty" and basically lied through his teeth was a big mistake.

Now he has lost the trust of David Zaslav. Amid a staff revolt and concerns that his changes ruined the brand, CNN reports that its CEO is gone.

The embattled chief executive and chairman of CNN, whose brief one-year tenure at the network was stained by a series of severe missteps, will depart the company.

“I met with Chris and he will be leaving CNN,” David Zaslav, the chief executive of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, told CNN employees at the start of the network’s daily editorial call Wednesday.

Licht’s departure, which came days after a devastating 15,000-word profile in The Atlantic, capped a tumultuous year for CNN, marked by layoffs, historically low ratings, and rock-bottom employee morale.

In the wake of The Atlantic article, Licht apologized to staffers Monday, telling the global news organization in a somber tone that he did not recognize himself when reading portions of the story and that he was sorry for having distracted from the newsroom’s work.

Licht, who described the experience as “tremendously humbling,” vowed to “fight like hell” to win over the trust of employees.

But it became increasingly clear that Licht’s tenure as the chief executive was quickly coming to an end. Licht has not commented on his departure and he did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Zaslav said Licht’s job was “never going to be easy” and praised the “amazing career” he has had, wishing him well on his future endeavors.

“For a number of reasons things didn’t work out and that’s unfortunate,” Zaslav said. “It’s really unfortunate. And ultimately that’s on me. And I take full responsibility for that.”

Zaslav told CNN employees that the company is “in the process of conducting a wide search,” both internally and externally, for a new network chief. He cautioned that it will “take a while.”

In the interim, Zaslav said the leadership team will be comprised of Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent and content development; Virginia Moseley, executive vice president of editorial; and Eric Sherling, executive vice president of U.S. programming. David Leavy, who was recently installed as chief operating officer, will continue overseeing the company’s commercial activities.

“We have great confidence in this group and will fully support them until a new CEO is named,” Zaslav said in an emailed statement to CNN staff. “We are in good hands, allowing us to take the time we need to run a thoughtful and thorough search for a new leader.”

A tumultuous tenure

Licht’s brief and rocky tenure as the head of the network came after he found tremendous success in morning news, producing MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” before he revamped “CBS Sunday Morning.” Prior to joining CNN, Licht was the executive producer of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” leading the program as it became the highest-rated late-night show on television.

But at CNN, Licht stumbled and quickly faced criticism. Replacing Jeff Zucker, the former CNN leader who was beloved by staff, Licht’s first action at the network was to dismantle CNN+, which had been hailed by previous network leadership as the streaming future of CNN. Zucker was ousted in February 2022 for failing to disclose a relationship with a subordinate.

Unlike Zucker who held an office on a newsroom floor in CNN’s Hudson Yards office in New York, Licht separated himself from the network’s journalists, a move that isolated the chief from his staff.

Licht announced mass layoffs at CNN in December. But the town hall with Washed Up 45 last month that Licht orchestrated was widely criticized as a mistake. Licht faced a fury of internal and external criticism for the town hall, including from iconic anchor Christiane Amanpour during a Columbia Journalism School commencement speech.

Florida Mom Dies After A Woman Shot Through A Door! Were The Actions Racist?

Florida woman killed after a neighbor dispute turned fatal.

A white Florida woman is under arrest after she shot and killed a Black mother of four in Ocala. The shooting has attracted national attention. Civil rights attorney and activist Benjamin Crump is also representing the victim's family. Protests were held and there were demands for the shooter to be arrested. The suspect is identified as Susan Louise Lorincz, a 58 year old white woman who claimed the victim tried to break down the door and she shot through the door hitting the victim in the chest.

The suspect is going to claim the "stand your ground" law as an excuse for shooting an unarmed woman through the door after a confrontation. A 9-year old child was verbally and physically assaulted by the shooter. The victim confronts her which was a violent culmination of what police said was a 2½-year feud.

Ajike Owens, 35, was fatally shot after going to the Ocala apartment of her neighbor, who earlier had yelled at Owens’ children as they played nearby and threw a pair of skates that hit one of them, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods said at a news conference Monday.

Deputies responding to a trespassing call at the apartment Friday night found Owens suffering from gunshot wounds. The mother of four was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died. Ocala is about 70 miles (110 kilometers) northwest of Orlando.

I wish our shooter would have called us instead of taking actions into her own hands,” Woods said. “I wish Ms. Owens would have called us in the hopes we could have never gotten to the point at which we are here today.”

Since January 2021, Woods said, deputies responded at least a half-dozen times in connection with the feuding between Owens and the woman who shot her. The sheriff’s office hasn’t arrested or identified the shooter.

Woods said detectives are working with the State Attorney’s Office and must investigate possible self-defense claims before they can move forward with any possible criminal charges.

The sheriff pointed out that because of Florida’s “stand your ground” law, he can’t legally make an arrest unless he can prove the shooter did not act in self-defense.

Ajike's children witnessed their mother getting shot.

Before the shooting, Owens’ children had been playing in a field near the shooter’s apartment. When Owens later confronted the woman at her apartment, an argument ensued, and the woman shot Owens through the front door, according to police.

Crump said in a statement that the shooter had been yelling racial slurs at the children before the confrontation with their mother. Owens and her children are Black.

The sheriff’s office hasn’t confirmed there were slurs uttered or said whether race was a factor in the shooting.

Woods also said they haven’t interviewed Owens’ children, who witnessed the shooting, because investigators first want child therapists to work with them. Most of the information the deputies have is coming from the shooter, Woods said.

“There was a lot of aggressiveness from both of them, back and forth,” Wood said the shooter told investigators. “Whether it be banging on the doors, banging on the walls and threats being made. And then at that moment is when Ms. Owens was shot through the door.”

Woods was joined at his news conference by community leaders and a local attorney retained by the family, Anthony Thomas. Their singular message was a call for patience while the sheriff’s office conducted its investigation.

During a vigil with the family later Monday, Thomas said the sheriff had promised him the most professional service that he and his deputies could provide, and Thomas plans to hold the agency to that.

During the same gathering, Owens’ mother, Pamela Dias, said that she was seeking justice for her daughter and her grandchildren.

“My daughter, my grandchildren’s mother, was shot and killed with her 9-year-old son standing next to her,” Dias said. “She had no weapon. She posed no imminent threat to anyone.”

The suspect has no remorse.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

Senseless gun violence in America.

Cornel West Runs A Nina Turner 2.0 Campaign!

Will Shaun King be Cornel West's campaign advisor?

Former college professor now jumps into the presidential race. Some believe he is a spoiler and an op by Republicans to take Black votes away from President Joe Biden. This fool appears on Fox, Breitbart and numerous other right wing outlets as the "left." 

In reality, he's a leftist with an agenda to help Republicans so he can push the Democrats to the left.

Just like with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Cornel West is a controversial figure who turns activism into chaos. Far left extremists who align with far right folks like Tomi Lahren, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Steve Bannon.

West has held professorships and fellowships at Harvard University, Yale University, Union Theological Seminary, Princeton University, Dartmouth College, Pepperdine University, and the University of Paris. He was forced out because of his antics.

Now unemployed, West decided run for president on a third party ticket. 

“I have decided to run for truth and justice, which takes the form of running for President of the United States as a candidate for the People’s Party,” West said in a video announcement on Twitter launching the third-party presidential bid. 

I am running for truth and justice as a presidential candidate for the People’s Party to reintroduce America to the best of itself - fighting to end poverty, mass incarceration, ending wars and ecological collapse, guaranteeing housing, health care, education and living wages for… pic.twitter.com/u3NYGUbG1S

— Cornel West (@CornelWest) June 5, 2023

As those very same leftists complain about Biden and Washed Up 45's age are cheering on West, a 70 year old leftist who has a following and a history of burnt bridges. The very same folks who have no concern about former 2020 candidate Bernie Sanders' age. The independent Vermont senator has endorsed Biden and he has no consideration of running in 2024.

"I enter in the quest for truth, I enter in the quest for justice, and the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that truth and justice — what I’ve been trying to do all of my life.”

Grifters alike.

West backed Sanders in 2016 and 2020. He backed Barack Obama in 2008 but ended up turning on him in 2012. Since then, West has been critical of Democrats and said it's okay if leftists sat it out or backed Washed Up 45.

West is similar to a notorious perennial candidate, former Ohio state senator and Bernie Sanders campaign official Nina Turner. 

Turner tried to run for a seat being vacated by Marcia Fudge who went on to join the Biden Administration. Turner, a bombastic figure took a lead and dwindled it down to an eventual defeat. Turner took all her energy to focus on a little known figure. She ended up making this little known special election a national race. Shontel Brown who focused on real issues instead of hot button topics won and is currently serving as a U.S. Representative for Ohio. Her win should have silenced Turner. 

Nope. Turner and West complain that race and big money played a role in the loss. Brown is Black and had little money at the time.

West decided to take aim at Biden.

In the campaign video, West included a clip in which he referred to President Biden as a “milquetoast neoliberal” and referred to Washed Up 45 as a “neofascist.” He explained his decision to run as a third-party candidate, saying, “neither political party wants to tell the truth about Wall Street, about Ukraine, about the Pentagon, about big tech.”

“Do we have what it takes? We shall see. But some of us are going to go down fighting, go down swinging, with style and a smile,” he said.
