Leap Day Centenarian Celebrates "25th Birthday!"

Oklahoma woman turns 100 on Leap Day. She has 25 actual birthdays.

If you were born on Feb. 29, you get to be one of the rare people to have an actual birthday every four years. Now normally, you may celebrate the birthday on Feb. 28 or Mar. 1. But on the actual day, it is an amazing feat of accomplishment.

Over hundreds of Americans have birthdays on Feb. 29.

Mary Lea Forsythe of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, will celebrate her 100th birthday on Thursday, despite only ever celebrating 25 actual birthdays. 

Forsythe is a part of a rare group of people called leaplings, a name for those born on Feb. 29 or Leap Day. There are about 5 million people worldwide who share the leap birthday out of about 8 billion people on the planet.

Tulsa woman celebrates her "25th" birthday. 

The 100-year-old was born on Feb. 29, 1924 — a date that only occurs every four years known as a leap year. Forsythe was recognized last week by the Centenarians of Oklahoma and highlighted on their social media page.

The centenarian is a passionate music fan and even plays the piano and mandolin, according to the post. She attended Sand Springs High School and was in the school's All State Chorus during all four years. Forsythe's favorite song is "Sitting at the Feet of Jesus."

Her 100th birthday celebration was hosted by the Osage Hills Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, ABC News reports. She is an active member of the organization. 

Forsythe told ABC News that she would often celebrate her non-leap year birthday on days surrounding her birthdate, which would sometimes include her late husband's birthday, March 6. 

Her husband was her high school sweetheart and they were married from 1942 until his death in 2011, ABC News reports.

Notable in the hip-hop world is the Queens-based rapper Ja Rule. He turns 48 years old [12 years old]. The rapper gained popularity in the late 1990s and had hits like "Mesmerize", "Between Me and You", "Holla, Holla", "Clap Back" and "I'm Real."

His career nosedived when he got into a longstanding feud with 50 Cent and his ally Eminem. He also felt backlash for being a figure in the infamous Fyre Festival. The concert was a shitshow and many attendees were robbed of their money and their chance to enjoy music from Ja Rule and promised acts.

Ja Rule turns 48 year old.

Even on social media, the rapper still holds some animosity towards them.

The rapper was supposed to perform in the United Kingdom but is apparently denied entry due to his previous convictions on felonies in the United States.

50 being the social media troll was all over it. He even claimed to buy a handful of tickets to sabotage Ja's comeback tour. Ja was expected to perform with Mya, Lloyd and Keri Hilson. 

Ja will be refocusing on trying to release his first album in 12 years. He last album Pain is Love 2 was released in 2012 on Empire Distribution and charted at 197 on the Billboard Top 200 albums. The rapper was sentenced for gun violations and tax evasion.

To this day, Ja Rule and Raymond Scott (formerly Benzino) became the victims of Eminem and his Shady Records crew. 50 signed to Dr. Dre and Eminem in 2002 and became one of the world's top performing acts of the 2000s.

Ja Rule will be a reminder of the Leap Day.

Off The Ballot!

Illinois removed Trump from the primary ballot.

Another state declares former president Donald J. Trump ineligible. The state of Illinois declares the former president will not be on their primary ballot. It will certainly rile up the far right and they will immediately pivot to Chicago, the state's largest city.

Of course, Trump will claim it is a Democrat plot and Joe Biden's fault. Even if Republicans bring it up, they'll just claim they're Democrats anyway.

This was done by a state judge. It will lead to immediate death threats on that judge, the county prosecutor and state governor J.B. Pritzker.

A Cook County judge ruled the Illinois State Board of Elections must take former President Donald Trump's name off the state's March 19 primary ballot Wednesday. But she placed her order on hold until Friday to allow an appeal.

Judge Tracie Porter issued her decision after a group of voters trying to remove Trump's name from the primary ballot over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol sued to counter the election board's unanimous rejection of its effort. The five voters argued Trump is ineligible to hold office because he encouraged and did little to stop the Capitol riot.

The case is one of dozens of lawsuits filed to remove Trump from the ballot, arguing he is ineligible due to a rarely used clause in the 14th Amendment prohibiting those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office. The U.S. Supreme Court earlier this month signaled that it is likely to reject this strategy when it heard an appeal of a Colorado ruling removing Trump from the ballot there. Like the Illinois decision, that Colorado ruling is on hold until the appeal is finished.

Illinois judge ruled in a 38-page brief stating the former president was ineligible due to his enhancing and advocacy for overthrowing the U.S. government. She will be a target of right wing vitriol.

Porter, in her 38-page ruling, wrote the petition by the group of voters should have been granted because they had met their burden and the Election Board's decision was “clearly erroneous.”

“This is a historic victory,” said Ron Fein, Legal Director of Free Speech For People, co-lead counsel in the case. “Every court or official that has addressed the merits of Trump’s constitutional eligibility has found that he engaged in insurrection after taking the oath of office and is therefore disqualified from the presidency.”

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung issued a statement saying “an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state’s board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions. This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal.”

Porter said her order would be put on hold if the Supreme Court’s ruling is ultimately “inconsistent” with hers.

By the way, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio had tornadoes in February. Wow, climate change is very real. Folks who didn't hear the sirens are more at risk for death in the case of a tornado, hurricane, tsunami, missile or a nuclear attack.

My hometown of Dayton, Ohio has several tornado touchdowns. I was asleep and didn't even notice until the coworkers talked about it. It was five EF-2 tornadoes that ripped through Riverside, Springfield, Fairborn, Wright Patterson Air Force Base and South Charleston. It was some confirmation in metro Columbus as well.

A bimodal severe weather threat produced multiple supercells from northern Illinois to Ohio. Multiple tornadoes were confirmed most of which were overnight, including an EF2 tornado near Grand Blanc, Michigan, an EF1 tornado in Marengo Township, Michigan, and a tornado near Gary, Indiana that moved over Lake Michigan. Numerous properties were struck across the severe risk area, with many outbuildings, vehicles, and homes being damaged or destroyed. Numerous tornadoes were confirmed in the Chicagoland area, specifically Kane County, and the Dayton and Columbus metro areas in Ohio.

Did He Meek Him?

Allegations of Diddy romping Meek Mill.

Bombshell allegations say that Sean "Puffy" Combs engaged in sexually predatory acts on Meek Mill and Usher. The allegations keep piling on Combs.

Known as Diddy, Combs was the founder of Bad Boy Records. The label was known for top talents, Notorious B.I.G., 112, Faith Evans, Carl Thomas, Ma$e, Machine Gun Kelly, French Montana, Cassie, Total and Yung Joc.

Combs was notorious for his lavish and flamboyant lifestyle.

Now he is the subject of numerous lawsuits. 

Gotta love Uncle Murda for making a wordplay.

Did he do it? DID HE DRUG HER! DID HE RAPE HER! DID HE RAPE HIM! is coded to say Sean "Puffy" Combs raped women and men. 

The Boondocks talked about the industry. Kat Williams talked about the industry.

Wack 100 exposed a former friend who Combs once associated with.

Yeah, it's the year of winners and losers.

Combs has been holed up in his penthouse worried that his popularity and freedom are on the line. He has seven lawsuits so far and more to come. The feds and Nevada state prosecutors are trying to link Tupac Shakur's killing to Combs. 

He is a dangerous man. It's been told that he orders hits on people, has connections to powerful people, have members of NYPD on his payroll, ties to gang members and still writes and produce music for many up and coming acts. Oh, he slept with ones who rise to that occasion. 

The media mogul resigned from Revolt TV in late 2023. He was also dropped by 20 companies. His companies that have Ciroc and Sean John are on the chopping block for new owners. 

His latest album on Motown was a flop and he was dropped from the label.

The suits came as New York’s Adult Survivors Act was set to expire in November 2023.

The law allowed accusers to bring forward cases of sexual abuse even beyond the statutory time limit, and Diddy was not the only big name to be hit. Bill Cosby, Jamie Foxx, New York Mayor Eric Adams, music producer L.A. Reid, photographer Terry Richardson and Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose were also named as defendants in separate lawsuits.

Meek Mill swallowed a red pill and been chirping Candace Owens propaganda. Now he is swallowing a hot plate of scandal. All that simping for Donald J. Trump got you messed up.

Lil Rod on Monday filed a 70-page lawsuit at the Federal District Court in Manhattan against Mr Combs detailing the allegations of sexual assault, drug dealing, hiring sex workers and participating in various sexual activities, all of which he was forced to endure while living with Mr Combs to work on his album. 

Lil Rod claimed to have produced nine of the tracks in Diddy’s latest “The Love Album: Off the Grid,” and was only paid a pittance of $21,000 despite living in Diddy’s house for the 13 months it took to work on the album.

Meek Mill and Usher at a Diddy party.

He claimed Diddy on several occasions groped his “anus and crotch without consent,” and even exploited his admiration of Stevie J, whom he idolised and looked up to, to force him into engaging in homosexual acts.

Lil Rod said he was showed a video of Stevie J having gay sex with a Caucasian male without condom, and was told by Diddy that “this is a normal practice in the music industry, look even Stevie J is doing it.”  He attached a screenshot taken of the video to the lawsuit.

According to the producer’s account, he was forced to watch Diddy taking showers through his glass door bathroom, and was given drinks that had been heavily laced with cocaine and other hard drugs to make him lose his willpower not to have gay sex.  

The producer, describing himself as a “heterosexual Christian man” said he was “uncomfortable with Mr Combs’ advances” and complained to his Chief of Staff, Kristina Khorram (“KK”), who flippantly dismissed him saying “you know, Sean will be Sean.”

Ms Khorram downplayed the constant groping of his anus as Diddy’s way of “showing that he likes you.”

Just us boys.

To sweeten his advances, Lil Rod said Diddy promised to make him a Grammy winner in the producer of the year category provided he “engaged in homosexuality.”

The lawsuit accuses Khorram of helping Diddy “to groom him [Lil Rod] into accepting a homosexual relationship.”

“Mr. Jones was terrified of Mr. Combs. He felt like he could not tell him no. Mr. Combs consistently made it clear that he has immense power in the music industry and with law enforcement,” the lawsuit said.

“Mr Combs promised to make sure that Mr Jones wins producer of the year at the Grammys if he engaged in homosexuality,” the lawsuit said.

Diddy, according to Lil Rod, also disclosed that he had had sex with a male rapper whose description fit Meek Mills’.

“Mr Combs informed Mr Jones that he had engaged in sexual intercourse with rapper5 (Redacted), R&B singer6 (Redacted), and Stevie J.”

The lawsuit described rapper 5 whose name was redacted, as Philadelphia bred and a former boyfriend to rapper Nicki Minaj.

Meek Mill hails from Philadelphia and dated Nicki between 2014 and 2016. His rap album “Championships” received a Grammy nomination in 2020 and a second nomination with his “Back of My Mind” album in 2022. He won none.

In 2020, Nigeria’s award winning Afrobeats artiste Burna Boy announced that Diddy was among the executive producers for his ‘Twice As Tall’ album. The album eventually won Burna Boy his first Grammy award in 2021.

Diddy was also exposed to sexual assault and rape allegations last year when his former record label signee and ex-girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, who sued him for $30 million. Diddy’s team of lawyers said their client denied the allegations and swiftly swung into action “amicably” settling the suit within 24 hours.

Lil Rod is similarly demanding $30 million as compensation for his work on the album as well as the abuse he claimed to have endured in Diddy’s home.

Shell Shock!

Mitch McConnell is out as Republican Senate Leader.

There is hints that he may not last throughout his term as Senator to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Right now, the word on the street is that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is no longer leading the senate minority after the 2024 elections.

The infamous porker who said his biggest joy was denying former president Barack Obama his third Supreme Court nomination. Before that he was hoping Obama would be a one term president.

Former president Donald J. Trump who built a legacy on ramming through three Supreme Court nominees with on being in an election year was once close to McConnell.

McConnell denied Obama in an election year his third pick but wasted no time running through Trump's third pick. Now Trump has soured on him. So I guess this is the Trump takeover of the Republican Party. 

McConnell was quietly working against MAGA. Trump was dogging on McConnell and his wife, former Trump Transportation Secretary Elanie Chao. McConnell’s legacy was his subservience to Trump, who has hurled racist attacks against Chao, his wife. Although he called Trump morally responsible for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, McConnell shielded the ex-president from being convicted in his second Senate impeachment trial, which would have barred Trump from being able to run for office again. McConnell was hoping that Congress would impeach Trump for Jan. 6. He knew if he got on board with it, his political career was over. He and Kevin McCarthy were facing backlash from within the Republican Party. There are now reports that he may consider endorsing Trump’s 2024 presidential run.

He said McConnell and the establishment are willing to give Democrats victories and are ignoring how MAGA is a movement to stop it.

I mean McConnell was calling out the candidates who lost easy elections. Mind you, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Nevada were races the Republicans could have easily picked up. But as McConnell put it, it was about "quality" not the quantity.

McConnell freezing in pressers and his falls showed some concern among Republicans and even President Joe Biden.

McConnell was underscoring the tectonic shift in the Republican Party in recent years away from Ronald Reagan toward the tone and vision of former President Donald Trump.

Speaking from the Senate floor on Wednesday, McConnell grew emotional and reflected on his age and the direction of his party under Donald Trump, the likely 2024 GOP presidential nominee. The Kentucky senator’s influence in his conference has waned in recent years and he has had several health scares that slowed him considerably.

McConnell was first elected to the upper chamber in 1984 during Reagan’s administration. He quickly moved up the ranks and became party leader in 2007 after Tennessee Sen. Bill Frist stepped down from the post, earning a reputation as a ruthless Machiavellian tactician. Last year, he fulfilled a longtime goal by becoming the longest-serving Senate leader in history.

Why This?

They allowed this minor perform in adult club.

This is sad. I mean only in America can someone allow their underage child inside an adult entertainment facility. On top of that, the child is an entertainer.

It should raise alarm bells knowing that a child was allowed to perform in an adult entertainment facility. The state where this happened.....

The state where Republicans believe it's freedom.

The state that looks like a penis.

The state that has a former presidential candidate who is a dick. By the way, the current governor who quietly disappeared from the junk food media's rising stars profile. 

The state where 28 million people are at risk of potential flooding, alligator attacks, mass shootings, contiguous diseases, hurricanes and severe droughts.

The state that the former president, an annoying media agitator and so many other MAGAts moved to.

Florida.

Home of Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, Raymond Scott (formerly Benzino), Forgiato Blow, Ye, Bill O'Reilly, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Ron DeSantis, Matt Drudge, Charlie Kirk, Donald J. Trump and a whole lot of stupidity.

Great place to visit. Not the smartest place to live.

Lil RT, a 9-year old rapper was performing at Miami strip club. It was seen on social media and folks are outraged that it allowed that to happen. His mother and manager should be held accountable. The Florida Liquor and Tobacco Agency could revoke that facility's license. 

Chaya Raichik is certainly making noise about. The far right agitator will certainly find a grift.

Uppers And Lowers!

A 100,000 voters choosing uncommitted made a difference,

As expected, President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump won Michigan.

Yet, the results show a picture that troubles both candidates.

Biden carried the state with 80% of the vote with "uh oh" uncommitted reigning in at 15%. That means over 100,000 voters rejected the president thanks to his fucking hardline stance towards Israel. Dean Phillips got 2% and former candidate Marianne Williamson got 3%.

Trump carried the state with 60% over his rival Nikki Haley. That 30% rejected MAGA due to his constant foot in the mouth disease as well as his criminal indictments.

The state is clearly in play.

So now I have Michigan in the TOSS UP category for both U.S. Senate and Presidential races. If they nominate Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), she will face a backlash from Arab American voters. Actor Hill Harper will be a scapegoat to the Republican noise machine and show their hypocrisy when it comes to celebrities running for government office. 

Peter Meijer, one of the heirs to Meijer superstores is likely the Republican Senate nominee and he will play the moderate conservative. 

Trump will forgive him. Meijer voted for impeaching Trump for the insurrection.

Michigan is in play and Biden lost 3% of the voters.

Listen to Michigan, a campaign started and spearheaded by predominantly younger Arab and Muslim organizers, led a push for Democrats to vote uncommitted in the primary as a protest vote.

They're urging Biden to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in Gaza and stop sending U.S. aid to Israel. It comes nearly five months after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that killed 1,200 people. Since then, almost 30,000 people in Gaza have been killed.

"We have led a movement that is far exceeding expectations, using the ballot box to urge America to stop killing our families," said Listen to Michigan spokesperson and Democratic strategist Abbas Alawieh at a watch party in Dearborn, Mich. "That's all we're asking for. Just stop killing our families," he added.

Dearborn has been at the center of this movement, where more than half the population is of Middle Eastern or North African descent.

"This coalition is one that wants to bring the morality back to this country because somewhere along the line, we have lost it," said Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud at the watch party Tuesday night.

"We will be that movement to bring [elected officials] back in line, if not with this primary election, then with November," he added.

We Will See!

Joe Biden and Rashida Tlaib. The Michigan lawmaker is voting uncommitted due to Biden's continuous support for Israel.

Today is the Michigan Republican and Democratic presidential primary. It will likely be a test of whether President Joe Biden has the energy of the Democratic Party base to carry the state again. It is also a chance for either former president Donald J. Trump or former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley to make inroads with Michiganers.

Trump carried Michigan in 2016. Biden carried Michigan in 2020.

Michigan is considered a swing state. 

Democrats also have Dean Phillips, the former contender Marianne Williamson and uncommitted. If the president does carry the state but has either Phillips or uncommitted carried a significant number of votes, then it puts Biden in a position of concern.

Phillips has lost most of the races so far and he still wants to be in this race despite he has no visible path to victory, he is laying off staff and his campaign is facing scandals.

It is mainly Biden and uncommitted.

Arab Americans are angered by the dehumanizing rhetoric of Democratic leaders, Biden's adamant supporters and the tone deaf reaction to protests to a permanent ceasefire.

The path to 270 relies on him carrying Pennsylvania and Michigan. He does not need Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin. He needs two swing states to reach 270. He loses those two states, it's curtains.

Biden and Trump are both unpopular with their respective parties. But Trump and his supporters which is the MAGA wing are very motivated to have him again.

The Democrats are going to risk losing a generation of votes. The Black voters, Arab Americans, Muslims and young voters are angry at Biden. I am very angry at Biden and Democrats. Their support for Israel is a red line. 

Biden has hinted that the U.S. is working for a temporary ceasefire and not a permanent ceasefire. Also they haven't release any details on how the Gaza Strip is gonna be rebuilt and why Israel wants to continue occupying Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the West Bank.

It is basically an American based policy that continues to allow Israel occupying power and little to no accountability for the crimes it has committed.

Tonight is primary night.

Did He Do It?

Diddy done it.

What people do in the bedroom is their business. What people do to sabotage or exploit their fame for sexual pleasures is sex trafficking and rape.

Gotta love Uncle Murda for making a wordplay.

Did he do it? DID HE RAPE HER! DID HE RAPE HIM! is coded to say Sean "Puffy" Combs raped women and men. 

The Boondocks talked about the industry. Kat Williams talked about the industry.

Wack 100 exposed a former friend who Combs once associated with.

Yeah, it's the year of winners and losers.

Combs has been holed up in his penthouse worried that his popularity and freedom are on the line. He has seven lawsuits so far and more to come. The feds and Nevada state prosecutors are trying to link Tupac Shakur's killing to Combs. 

He is a dangerous man. It's been told that he orders hits on people, has connections to powerful people, have members of NYPD on his payroll, ties to gang members and still writes and produce music for many up and coming acts. Oh, he slept with ones who rise to that occasion. 

The media mogul resigned from Revolt TV in late 2023. He was also dropped by 20 companies. His companies that have Ciroc and Sean John are on the chopping block for new owners. 

His latest album on Motown was a flop and he was dropped from the label.

Combs finally gave Ma$e, The Lox [Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch], Jamal "Shyne" Barrow, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, Machine Gun Kelly, French Montana, 112, Total, Yung Joc and the late Black Rob all their publishing rights back.

The suits came as New York’s Adult Survivors Act was set to expire in November 2023. The law allowed accusers to bring forward cases of sexual abuse even beyond the statutory time limit, and Diddy was not the only big name to be hit. Bill Cosby, Jamie Foxx, New York Mayor Eric Adams, music producer L.A. Reid, photographer Terry Richardson and Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose were also named as defendants in separate lawsuits.

“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” Combs said in a December 2023 statement.

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he added.

Producer Lil Rob said Combs was a predator.

Not many people want to associate with him. Even Daune "Keefe D" Davis is snitching saying that Combs ordered the hit on Tupac Shakur. Keefe D and the alleged gunman Orlando "Blue Baby Lane" Anderson were in Las Vegas, the night when Tupac Shakur and Marion "Big Suge" Knight were shot while waiting at a traffic light. The Keefe D trial is slated for mid-2024. Anderson was killed in 1998.

Combs who also goes by the name Puff Daddy or Diddy has a reputation of being flamboyant and lavish.

Even some believe he gets in the coke and goes full on sexual predator. Kind of like his buddy Stevie J and Diddy's former buddy Raymond Scott (formerly known as rapper Benzino). Scott has also allegations of sexually predatory behavior. Stevie J is named in a lawsuit alleging that he sexually harassed men and Combs showed videos of him and Stevie J having sex with men and each other. Scott had allegedly slept with the underage niece of his blood sister and underage daughter of Stevie J.

On November 16, 2023, Combs' former partner Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him accusing him of rape, sex trafficking, and physical abuse. The lawsuit also suggested that Combs was responsible for exploding the car of Ventura's then-boyfriend Kid Cudi. Combs and Ventura reached an undisclosed settlement the following day, and the lawsuit was dismissed. On November 23, 2023, two further lawsuits were filed against Combs by two additional complainants, alleging sexual assault and revenge porn. One of the lawsuits claimed that in 1990 or 1991, he and Aaron Hall had sexually abused a woman, with Combs recording the incident.

Now another lawsuit comes forth and it involves a man who said that Combs tried to proposition him for sex and held parties where he laced drinks and tried to romp on young women and underage girls.

Producer Lil Rod, whose given name is Rodney Jones, is accusing the media mogul of operating a racketeering enterprise, groping him, forcing him to engage in sexual acts with sex workers and lacing alcohol for the guests in his home, including underaged girls.

“Throughout his time with Mr. Combs, Mr. Jones witnessed, experienced, and endured many things that went far beyond his role as a Producer on the Love album,” the 73-page complaint says. “Mr. Combs required Mr. Jones to record him constantly. … As a result, Mr. Jones has secured hundreds of hours of footage and audio records of Mr. Combs, his staff, and his guests engaging in serious illegal activity.”

The lawsuit not only names Diddy as a defendant but also his 30-year-old son, Justin Dior Combs; his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram; Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; and former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam.

In the lawsuit, Lil Rod claims that Diddy forced him to work in the bathroom as Diddy showered and that Diddy engaged in “constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his [Lil Rod’s] anus.”

Lil Rod also accused Diddy of drugging him in February 2023 when he woke up unclothed, disoriented and in bed with Diddy and two sex workers.

Combs and Stevie J have a cozy relationship. They even showered together allegedly.

The lawsuit accuses Khorram of helping Diddy “to groom him [Lil Rod] into accepting a homosexual relationship.”

“Mr. Jones was terrified of Mr. Combs. He felt like he could not tell him no. Mr. Combs consistently made it clear that he has immense power in the music industry and with law enforcement,” the lawsuit said.

It added that Diddy tried to intimidate Lil Rod by showing off his guns. The lawsuit also claims that Diddy admitted to Lil Rod that he was “responsible for” the fatal 1999 shooting of a rapper named Shyne.

The producer also created a GoFundMe page aimed at raising $50,000 for his legal fees.

Lil Rod produced a portion of Diddy’s latest body of work, “The Love Album,” which was released in September 2023, which he says he was underpaid for.

“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” Diddy’s attorney Shawn Holley told HuffPost.

“We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies,” she added. “We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”

Holley previously represented actor Lindsay Lohan, baseball player Trevor Bauer, actor Danny Masterson and, for a moment, rapper Tory Lanez. She was also on O.J. Simpson’s legal team. Holley did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

Diddy was accused last year of sexual violence by four women, starting with Cassie, his ex-girlfriend.

Ronna McDaniel Out!

Ronna gone. Trump wants his cronies in. I thought she was one.

Republicans are concerned they don't have the money to fight against President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. With Kevin McCarthy out of the Congress, it is hard for the big donors to get on board with former president Donald J. Trump. 

I mean these big money donors are giving a millionaire their money to win the presidency. Now I've seen it all!

Ronna Romney McDaniel, the current Republican National Committee chairwoman has announced she will step down after the Super Tuesday primaries.

“Some of my proudest accomplishments include firing Nancy Pelosi, winning the popular vote in 2022, creating an Election Integrity Department, building the committee’s first small dollar grassroots donor program, strengthening our state parties through our Growing Republican Organizations to Win program, expanding the Party through minority outreach at our community centers, and launching Bank Your Vote to get Republicans to commit to voting early," she said.

“I have decided to step aside at our Spring Training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee to select a Chair of their choosing," she added. "The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition."

Since McDaniel's 2017 election as chair of the RNC, the Republican Party has had a net loss of eight governorships, four seats in the United States Senate, and 20 seats in the House of Representatives, and the presidency. In December 2022, Axios wrote that McDaniel "has thus far failed to preside over a single positive election cycle."

McDaniel has been known for her prolific fundraising and staunch support for former President Donald Trump as RNC chair. Under her leadership, the RNC ran ads for Trump's 2020 campaign as early as 2018, put numerous Trump campaign workers and affiliates on the RNC payroll, spent considerable funds at Trump-owned properties, covered his legal fees in the Russian interference investigation, hosted Trump's Fake News Awards, and criticized Trump critics within the Republican Party.

After Joe Biden won the 2020 election and Trump refused to concede, McDaniel and the RNC made false claims of voter fraud, and attempted to overturn Biden's victory. In 2022, she orchestrated a censure of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the two Republicans who served on the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. The censure characterized the violent pro-Trump mob as having engaged in "legitimate political discourse". During its fourth public hearing, the House January 6 Committee presented a video excerpt of a deposition from McDaniel where she revealed that, at the request of Trump and John Eastman, she had the RNC help organize fake electors for the Trump fake electors plot.

On February 26, 2024, she announced her resignation as Chairwoman on advice from Donald Trump following the latter's victory in the 2024 South Carolina Republican presidential primary. Her term is expected to end on March 8.

McDaniel is the granddaughter of George Romney, the Republican moderate governor of Michigan. He would be considered a traitor in today's Republican Party. She is also niece to outgoing Utah senator, 2012 Republican presidential nominee, former Massachusetts governor [Willard] Mitt Romney.

Trump was upset over his loss and Republicans failing to gain in 2020 and 2022.

Trump now wants to appoint cronies into the RNC. McDaniel's decision followed Saturday's South Carolina primary and came less than two weeks after Trump endorsed North Carolina GOP chairman Michael Whatley to be the next chairman of the RNC, his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to be co-chair and top campaign aide Chris LaCivita to be the party’s chief operating officer.

Lara Trump is the wife of Eric Trump. He was ordered to pay nearly $10 million in fines for the state of New York.

McDaniel, 50, was the second woman to lead the RNC. She previously was chair of the Republican Party in Michigan, where she oversaw Trump’s successful 2016 effort in the state.

Trump told Fox News this month that “some changes” were likely at the RNC when he was asked about McDaniel’s performance.

“I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK initially in the RNC,” Trump said in the interview. “I would say right now there’ll probably be some changes made.”

Scrutiny of McDaniel’s leadership at the RNC ramped up among party activists after the midterm elections in 2022, when Republicans lost several critical Senate and governors’ races. Grassroots activists and conservative influencers upset with McDaniel’s leadership coalesced around Dhillon’s effort to unseat her. But McDaniel offered a show of force ahead of the party’s winter meetings last year, unveiling a list of more than 100 RNC members who backed her for another term, and she easily defeated the challenge.

Criticism of McDaniel’s leadership is focused on her handling of party finances and grassroots efforts. The party’s latest disclosure with the Federal Election Commission showed it was facing a cash crunch, with less than half as much money in the bank as the Democratic National Committee reported at the end of 2023.

Speaking to reporters in Beaufort, South Carolina, last week, Lara Trump was asked whether the RNC would help to pay Trump’s legal bills as he faces prosecution in four jurisdictions across the country.

“Well, I said every penny will go to making sure Donald Trump will be the 47th president, to ensuring that we have great candidates to expand our lead in the House and to take back the Senate," she said, adding about providing funding for his legal expenses, "I actually don’t know where they stand on that."

"Well, I think that his legal bills have already been covered at this point," she said when pressed further.

Media personality Lara Trump wants to be co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Trump will be a crony and will waste GOP donor money.

LaCivita told reporters later in the week that the RNC will not use party funds to cover Trump-related legal expenses.

Calls for change at the RNC ramped up ahead of the party's winter meetings in Las Vegas this month. Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and a co-founder of the right-wing group Turning Point USA who led the charge to oust McDaniel last year, held a nearby conference dubbed the "Restoring National Confidence" summit — a clear shot at the party.

Some saw the focus on McDaniel's performance as a way for conservatives to redirect anger on the right over Trump's recent electoral failings, particularly in the midterms, after he elevated a number of candidates who embraced his false claims about the 2020 election and ended up losing key statewide races in swing states.

Behind closed doors last winter, two RNC members working on the party's internal review of what went wrong during the previous year's elections argued over whether the results had more to do with bad candidates or a lack of financial backing from the RNC. Tyler Bowyer, an RNC committeeman from Arizona who is also a top Turning Point executive and spoke at the group's summit last week, argued it was the money, while Henry Barbour, an RNC committeeman from Mississippi who co-chaired the autopsy effort, argued the losses were because of candidate quality.

Ultimately, two people familiar with the party's thinking told NBC News last year that a final report was unlikely to be made public, though a draft copy was leaked, and it did not mention Trump.

After Trump secured commanding GOP victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, it was time for the party to rally around him as the "eventual nominee," McDaniel told Fox News following the New Hampshire primary.

Days later, a Trump ally and RNC committeeman proposed a resolution to be considered at the party's winter meetings that would declare Trump the party's presumptive nominee. But after pushback, Trump himself called for the resolution to be scrapped.

Trump's rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, seized on the short-lived effort, referring to it repeatedly on the trail in South Carolina. She has said it showed the party is "clearly not" an honest broker.

U.S. Air Force Member Torches Himself In Opposition Of America's Support Of Israel!

American soldier commits suicide in protest of Israel.

Again, I will offer numbers to facilities to help with suicide, aid to those in Gaza, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and agencies that you can civilly call you elected leaders.

Take warning, images and video can be graphic.

Israel has a propaganda campaign here in the United States. Many of these folks on social media are pushing narratives that favor Israel. They are pushing for people to be fired from their jobs because they dare to criticize Israel and its ongoing illegal war crimes.

They are literally erasing Palestine as we speak.

So as we speak, protests are happening across the world with many world leaders taking hits in their popularity. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is hoping that a message is sent to President Joe Biden. She wants Arab Americans and Democrats to vote uncommitted to push Biden to favor a permanent ceasefire and an end to aid to Israel.

Several prominent Democrats and a lot of far right Republicans have made slanderous claims that protesters are terrorists and you are anti-semitic if you dare criticize Israel.

Aaron Bushnell, 25 committed suicide in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. 

He set himself on fire while in uniform. The Washington Metropolitan Police and Fire Department have confirmed an incident involving a fire.

Bushnell declaring that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The man walked up to the embassy shortly before 1 p.m. and began livestreaming on the video streaming platform Twitch, the person said. Law enforcement officials believe the man started a livestream, set his phone down and then doused himself in accelerant and ignited the flames. At one point, he said he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” the person said. The video was later removed from the platform, but law enforcement officials have obtained and reviewed a copy.

The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington said its officers had responded to the scene outside the Israeli Embassy to assist U.S. Secret Service officers and that its bomb squad had also been called to examine a suspicious vehicle. Police said no hazardous materials were found in the vehicle.

Bushnell sets himself on fire.

The incident happened as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking the cabinet approval for a military operation in the southern Gazan city of Rafah while a temporary cease-fire deal is being negotiated. Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, however, has drawn criticisms, including genocide claims against the Palestinians.

Israel has adamantly denied the genocide allegations and says it is carrying out operations in accordance with international law in the Israel-Hamas war.

Even its official Mossad page remarked in an insulting way towards the man.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol are now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to," "good guys with guns" and "Israel has a right to" are no longer acceptable. You want legislation to curb gun violence in the United States. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists. Let them know your vote matters and doing nothing will not be acceptable.
