The Big Show!

President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are preparing for the solar eclipse. Americans and Canadians will have an opportunity to see an eclipse that will impact most of North America.

The winners and losers of 2024.

Today is the main event.

A total solar eclipse is taking place on Monday, April 8, 2024, visible across North America and dubbed the Great North American Eclipse by some media. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs only in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometers wide.

In the United States, totality will be visible through the states of Texas (including parts of San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth and all of Arlington, Dallas, Killeen, Temple, Texarkana, Tyler, Sulphur Springs and Waco), Oklahoma (including Idabel and Broken Bow), Arkansas (including Morrilton/Petit Jean, Hot Springs, Searcy, Jonesboro, and Little Rock), Missouri (including Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff), Tennessee (extreme northwestern corner of Lake County), Illinois (including Carbondale, where it intersects the path of the 2017 eclipse), Kentucky, Indiana (including Bloomington, Evansville, Indianapolis, Anderson, Muncie, Terre Haute, and Vincennes), Ohio (including Akron, Cleveland, Dayton, Lima, Lorain, Toledo, and Warren), Michigan (extreme southeastern corner of Monroe County), Pennsylvania (including Erie), Upstate New York (including Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Syracuse, Watertown, the Adirondacks, Potsdam, and Plattsburgh), and northern Vermont (including Burlington), New Hampshire, and Maine, with the line of totality going almost directly over the state's highest point Mount Katahdin. The largest city entirely in the path will be Dallas, Texas. It will be the second total eclipse visible from the central United States in just seven years, after the eclipse of August 21, 2017 (see "Related Eclipses", below). This will be the last total solar eclipse visible in the contiguous United States until August 23, 2044.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible in all of the other parts of the contiguous United States and in Southeast Alaska (Alaska Panhandle).

In Canada, the path of totality will pass over parts of Southern and Eastern Ontario (including Leamington, Fort Erie, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Kingston, Prince Edward County, and Cornwall), parts of southern Quebec (including Montreal, Sherbrooke, Saint-Georges and Lac-Mégantic), central New Brunswick (including Fredericton, Woodstock and Miramichi), western Prince Edward Island (including Tignish and Summerside), the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and central Newfoundland (including Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor). Then, it will vanish on the eastern Atlantic coast of Newfoundland. Some of the Canadian cities listed, such as Hamilton and Montreal, are on an edge of the path of totality. Windsor, London, Toronto and Ottawa lie just north of the path of totality, and Moncton lies just south of it.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible in all of the other parts of Canada, except the western part of Yukon and the western tip of the Northwest Territories.

Jenifer Lewis Ain't Lying!

Real as they come.

While doing an appearance on SiriusXM's "Mornings with Zerlina", actress Jenifer Lewis tells the listeners that voting for former president Donald J. Trump is like voting for Hitler.

Lewis, who is known for her role in the ABC sitcom "Black-ish" explains the reasons to why Republicans are throwing around culture wars against President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Black America.

She details why sitting out elections or voting for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his longshot bid are being boosted by Republicans and operatives of Russia.

She also detailed her near fatal fall.

She also blasted individuals not interested in voting in the 2024 presidential election, warning them that if Trump wins re-election, he will "tear up" the Constitution in "our faces," declare himself "king of the f---ing world," and put all minorities in camps.

The 67-year-old sitcom actress made the claims during the Thursday episode of SiriusXM radio show "Mornings With Zerlina." Her assessment started with Trump as the topic, slamming Americans who are considering sitting voting out this time around.

"Black people don't want to fight you, all we want to do is feed our children and be equal." - @JeniferLewis

"We spend half our lives choosing, trying to make a choice on bulls---. What movie tonight? Let me sit here for a half hour. No bombs going off. And we do nothing. We sit on our couches. ‘Oh, I don't believe in voting.’ You f------ idiot. If that man gets in, as soon as he takes the oath, he will have generals walk down the steps of the Capitol."

Her warning grew even more dire, as she said, "He will take a hammer and break the glass where the Constitution is, and he will tear it up in our faces and say, 'Now I'm the king of the f------ world. You will bow down, b------' He will punish everybody that didn't vote for him."

Lewis explained why she’s so convinced this will happen, telling host Zerlina Maxwell she recognizes his "mental illness." She yelled into the mic,"I know it because I know what mental illness looks like. That mania is unstoppable. See, this mother----- is Hitler. He didn't come to play."

Speaking of various minority groups, she added, "That mother----- will have us in camps… because we sat our fat a---- on the couch."

Fox and the far right seized on the remarks. Mind you, when entertainers criticize Trump (a former entertainer), Republicans or conservatives, Fox waste no time saying that individual needs to shut up about politics. The writer Gabriel Hayes of Fox News Digital wrote this piece to get white conservatives upset as usual.

Whenever Black entertainers or athletes go against Trump, expect Larry Elder, Jesse Lee Peterson, Kevin Jackson, Candace Owens, Jason Whitlock, Terrence K. Williams and the Hodge Twins to be swinging in. 

The Black Conservative Perspective podcast host Greg Foreman has the audacity to call Lewis "unhinged." 

Talk about the "pot calling the kettle black."

Dude is unhinged. Disrespecting a well aware Black actress.... you got issues dude.

Let it be Kid Rock, Rob Schneider, Roseanne Barr, Ted Nugent, Mehmet Oz, Herschel Walker, Adam Corolla, Phil McGraw or Dennis Miller say something about politics. Since they're Republicans, they are invited to Fox. Trump embraces these celebrities.

Fox is quick to call them patriots and heroes. 

South Carolina Gamecocks Shock The Status Quo!

Defying the odds.

Winners and losers of 2024.

While the far right, Ice Cube, Dave Portnoy and most sport betters were backing NCAA-I Womens player Iowa Hawkeyes Caitlin Clark, Black women were backing the underdog.

South Carolina Gamecocks join the elite club. The undefeated NCAA Womens Champions.

The 2023–24 South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball team represents the University of South Carolina during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. 

The Gamecocks, led by sixteenth-year head coach and former WNBA star Dawn Staley, play their home games at Colonial Life Arena and compete as members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

What makes this victory sweeter, the city of Cleveland got some revenue, millions of Americans tuned in to the Final Four and National Championship Game.

Staley gets the last laugh. Not only she defied the noise of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Fox and Chaya Raichik [Libs of TikTok troll], her team defeated the "white savior" Clark.

Angel Reese was subjected to racism after she mocked Clark in the 2022 championship.

Portnoy being a total asshole called Reese out for taunting, Clark was notorious for taunting and trolling opponents.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Henry McMaster, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) and Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) also reacted to the Gamecocks victory.

Ain't No Roads Named After Her!

Ashli Babbitt died because of a lie and her actions on Jan. 6, 2021 were to violently overthrow the results of an election on behalf of Donald J. Trump.

You will never any roads, scholarships, bridges and schools named after this woman.

There may be a mural or a song from a far right extremist. Yeah, Forgiato Blow is most notorious for dedicating a song to this woman.

The Republicans continues to push the notion that Ashli Babbitt was denied justice.

The California woman along with thousands of Trump supporters unlawfully entered a restricted building, damaged property, stole property and violently attacked law enforcement. And even if she was unarmed, Babbitt was there to cause a violent insurrection.

"Nothing can stop us....they can try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light...."

These are the words of a violent extremist.

Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd was justified in protecting the lives of Congress members and staffers. He saved the life of former vice president Mike Pence.

The conspiracy theories and racial attacks on Byrd are the latest of extreme political rhetoric found on X.

Yet, Congress wants to ban TikTok.

X is by far the worst when it comes to misinformation, state run propaganda and content not suitable for children.

Babbitt's attempt to climb through a shattered window beside a barricaded door into the Speaker's Lobby was thwarted when she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer. After a USCP emergency response team administered aid, Babbitt was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she died. The USCP deemed the shooting was "lawful and within Department policy" and "potentially saved Members (of Congress) and staff from serious injury and possible death".

The husband of Babbitt has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government for $30 million, according to court records released Friday.

Attorneys with Judicial Watch, a conservative legal activist group, filed the suit in California federal court on behalf of Aaron Babbitt and his estate for wrongful death, and assault and battery. 

His wife was shot and killed by law enforcement during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol when she tried to climb through a barricaded door near the House chamber.

The suit alleges that Byrd was negligent when he fired at Babbitt, a supporter of former President Trump.

“The facts speak truth. Ashli was ambushed when she was shot by Lt. Byrd,” the attorneys wrote, arguing that she traveled to Washington, D.C., only to attend Trump’s rally.

“Ashli did not go to Washington as part of a group or for any unlawful or nefarious purpose,” they wrote, claiming Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, “posed no threat to the safety of anyone.”

Pelosi Calls For An End Of Weapon Shipments To Israel!

Friends tells their friends when they're drunk.

Only three months ago, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Speaker Emeritus told Code Pink leader Madea Benjamin and pro Palestinian protesters to go back to China. She has taken over $2.1 million from AIPAC. Pelosi also stated that the U.S. has no "greater friend" than Israel.

It's "ironclad."

She also scolded Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she tweeted "All about the Benjamins" when it comes to AIPAC and lawmakers.

Seeing President Joe Biden and poll numbers decline must have woken up the former speaker.

She once said that Israel won't be a wedge issue. Well when the party's core base stated that it's time for Democrats to sever ties with the ethno-state of Israel, I guess after 35,000 dead Palestinians, 1,000 dead humanitarian and numerous international crimes, now comes a change.

It is a major wedge issue and Democrats know that it may be too late to bring them home.

Israel isn't about "bringing them home." If any of these hostages survived, they are either dead from Israeli friendly fire or in the most likely case, indiscriminate bombings.

The Israeli government is 100% liable for all the hostages being dead and the ceasefire talks to be ignored.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Rep. Fredrica Wilson (D-FL) will pay a price for their insufferable support of Israel. 

Fetterman will face the most backlash and come 2028, I will personally make sure he is primaried.

More than 30 Democratic members of the US House of Representatives have called for a full halt to the transfer of weapons to Israel, in a letter to President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“In light of the recent strike against aid workers and the ever-worsening humanitarian crisis, we believe it is unjustifiable to approve these weapons transfers,” read the letter signed on Friday.

Pelosi joined the Democrats who opposed more funding to Israel.

Pressure has been mounting on the White House and Western governments to stop arming Israel with no let-up in the Israeli military’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip, where the death toll since October has crossed 33,000. There appear to be dim prospects of a ceasefire and no progress in getting more humanitarian aid into the enclave where famine has set in, despite Israel pledging to reopen a crossing to northern Gaza.

This week Israel said it will reopen the Beit Hanoon (Erez) crossing with northern Gaza for aid, hours after a warning from Biden for it to take steps to protect civilians and humanitarian workers following the Israeli military’s strikes on US-based food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK).

“While we appreciate your administration’s recent efforts to increase the delivery of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza, these efforts will not be sufficient to meet the extraordinary need on the ground,” the letter read.

The legislators also called on the Biden administration to conduct its own investigation into the Israeli attack that killed seven WCK members in central Gaza.

On Friday, the Israeli military dismissed two officers and formally reprimanded senior commanders after an inquiry into the aid workers’ deaths found serious errors and breaches of procedure.

“Over 200 aid workers have been killed since the start of the war. These attacks and deaths are having a chilling effect with the World Central Kitchen and other humanitarian groups now suspending their operations in Gaza,” the letter noted.

Hassan Barari, a professor at Qatar University’s Department of International Affairs, said the letter represents a “change in the American scene”, adding that “the whole Democratic party is moving to adopt this position, so it has become a mainstream position”.

The United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday adopted a resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza, and demanding a halt to all arms sales to the country.

While countries like Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Spain and Belgium have suspended arms sales to Israel, several other Western nations continue to supply lethal weapons despite mounting criticism over the growing civilian casualties.

The United States has supplied the bulk of Israel’s defence requirements, including 2000-pound bunker-buster bombs. This year, the US Congress also approved an additional $14bn military aid package to Israel.

Barari told Al Jazeera that “I think it is genuine pressure, given what Israel has been doing, but at the same time, we have to remember that the international community has been complicit with all these Israeli massacres and genocide”.

In the United Kingdom, opposition parties and some parliamentarians from the governing Conservative Party, as well as hundreds of lawyers and judges have demanded that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stop selling weapons to Israel.

Al Jazeera was also in the crosshairs of the Israeli regime. The Knesset has passed a law that bans any media agency that implicates Israel in a hostile way. They have targeted journalists in Gaza and the West Bank. They have openly attacked facilities that cover the news including Reuters and Associated Press.

It's not China. Not Russia. Not Venezuela. Not Cuba. Not Iran. It is Israel that is meddling in the U.S. elections. President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump are bootlickers to a foreign country that influences their idiotic policies.

 José Andrés, chef and co founder of the World Central Kitchen is angry over Israel's deliberate airstrike on humanitarian aid workers. 

Israel for way too long has manipulated me with this endless victimhood. All the while pushing for an ethno-nationalist state, Israeli government leaders [both left and right] have called for the eradication of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

The operatives have operated with shell agencies like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Anti-Defamation League. These organizations operated at the behest of Israel.

Israel has been pushing for more support in its genocide of the Palestinians. So far, they have fanned outrage over TikTok, Al Jazeera, X, octopuses, buttons, protests at synagogues, protests at Holocaust museums, blocking roads, blocking bridges, boycotting companies and calling for international sanctions.

Israel keeps calling it an attack on Jewish people and it amounts to antisemitic propaganda.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

They are feeling it. Democrats know the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies. They know that Biden is under extreme pressure to do something. Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters have vowed to never back Biden putting his reelection chances in danger.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is 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" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. Let them know that bans on TikTok are bans on free speech. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than 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.

If anyone trolls you about condemning Hamas for Oct. 7, 2023, kindly ignore them or respectfully tell them that Israel has committed an illegal occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the West Bank. They shoot innocent civilians and indiscriminately bomb heavily populated areas in Gaza and the West Bank. 

Will you condemn the actions of Israel if I have to condemn Hamas?

No Heart In OH!

Red state tactics could keep Biden off the ballot in Ohio. Sherrod Brown faces a tough fight to secure another six year term.

Fair elections matter.

Republicans only believe in election integrity when they win or when they put obstructions 

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and his Republican allies are trying to keep President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris off the ballots come November.

They already have a gerrymandered U.S. House member map that favors Republicans I. A 3 to 1 ratio. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Rep. Emilia Skyes (D-OH) and Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) are politically vulnerable in their districts thanks to Republicans incorporating ruby red counties in blue cities like Toledo, Akron and Cincinnati.

Their policies has driven population away from Ohio. The only cities in the state growing are Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati. Ohio has a population of 11.7 million residents.

Columbus has a population of 1.02 million residents. Cincinnati has a population of 304,000. Cleveland has a population of 367,000.

Columbus is split into four areas. Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH), Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) each have a portion of Columbus.

The whole state in general will lose to North Carolina and Georgia come 2030.

North Carolina Republicans are also doing the same shady shit like Ohio where they're incorporating Raleigh, Greensboro, High Point, Greenville, Winston-Salem and Charlotte with red leaning counties.

Ohio Republicans want to keep it in Trump pocket.

Ohio’s secretary of state on Friday signaled that the Democratic National Convention may take place too late for President Joe Biden to appear on the general election ballot in the state, according to a letter obtained by NBC News.

“The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to convene on August 19, 2024, which occurs more than a week after the August 7 deadline to certify a presidential candidate to the office,” LaRose wrote to Ohio Democratic Party Chairwoman Liz Walters.

ABC News first reported about the existence and content of this letter.

In the note, LaRose goes on to say that the oversight can be rectified in two ways: either by the Democratic Party moving up its nominating convention or by getting the Ohio state legislature to “create an exemption to this statutory requirement” by May 9 in accordance with state law.

Ohio state Rep. Allison Russo, the state House minority leader, and state Sen. Nickie Antonio, the state Senate minority leader, were also copied on LaRose’s letter.

A spokesperson for the Biden campaign told NBC News that the campaign is “monitoring the situation in Ohio and we’re confident that Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states.”

As a major political party, the Democratic Party appears on ballots in all 50 states.

In the primary contest earlier this year, Biden opted not to appear on the ballot in New Hampshire because its primary was held in violation of the Democratic National Committee, which approved a calendar that would have seen South Carolina hold its primary first. Biden nonetheless won the New Hampshire primary on a write-in campaign.

Got Beef!

Only in Ohio.

Wanna know why gun violence is the No. 1 threat in the United States? Read this story. 

A man pulled a firearm on a fast food worker after he got upset over a discount to his breakfast meal. He went as far to call him a racial slur.

Willowick police are still searching for the disgruntled customer who pointed a gun at a Burger King employee on Easter morning.

19 News obtained the surveillance video on Monday.

The suspect can be seen in the video getting out of his car pulling out a gun and pointing it at the drive-through window. 19 News spoke exclusively with his target, 38-year-old Burger King employee, Howard Vernon.

“To know that somebody would do something like that just because I’m trying to give you a better deal and it flip out like that, it is scary,” Vernon said. “I was taking this guy’s order and he ordered two sausage egg and cheese croissants and a sausage biscuit and hashbrowns and the order came out to $8 and he was like my order can’t be right it should be like $11 and I’m like trying to explain to him that we had a promotion going on and like it’s cheaper and he started cussing and getting all loud and I was like I don’t know what to tell you I don’t know why you want to pay more money.”

Dude threatens my life over a food discount. 

Vernon said after that the customer sped off but a minute later he pulled back around to the drive-through as Vernon was helping another customer that’s when he pulled out the gun. Vernon said the man threatened to kill him and called him a racial slur.

“The whole time I was just like if you gonna do it do it, I’m not about to run,” Vernon said. “You don’t scare me or anything like that just do what you gotta do and he just kept blurting out racial slurs and it’s crazy cause there was an older woman like his gun was on top of this older woman’s car he could’ve gave her a heart attack like anything you know.”

The incident happened around 9 a.m. at the Willowick Burger King on Vine Street. The suspect was driving a gray Honda and was wearing a gray sweatshirt and a hat. Police said he took off on Vine Street and then turned down a side street. Authorities are still looking for him.

Some people can't have their way.

“At the end of the day, it was about some bread and sausage sandwiches at 9 o’clock in the morning on Easter and you’re that mad that you’d put a gun in somebody’s face? After I thought about it afterwards it was like kind of had me shook up a little bit like it’s crazy that people would just like what if he did shoot me and kill me you know I have 10 kids I would have been leaving all my kids like everything,” Vernon said.

Vernon has not been back to work at Burger King since the incident but said he plans to return.

If you recognize the man in the video, call Willowick detectives.

Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

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

Iran: America This Ain't Your Beef!

Iran will find ways to hit back at the evil Israeli regime.

The Iranian military is preparing to retaliate after Israel did a series of coordinated attacks on the nation. It will further escalate conflict in the Middle East.

Israel may have done a targeted bombing near Tehran and it was involved in the airstrike in Damascus at an Iranian consulate.

Israel is two countries west from Iran. You have to travel through Jordan and Iraq to get into Iran.

U.S. and British intelligence believe Iran will strike at some point.

Iran sent a cable to Switzerland to reach out to President Joe Biden. They warned for the U.S., Great Britain and Western governments to "stay out of it."

In a written message to Washington, Iran “warned the US not to get dragged into Netanyahu’s trap,” Mohammad Jamshidi, the Iranian president’s deputy chief of staff for political affairs, wrote on X, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The US should “step aside so that you don’t get hit.”

“In response, the US asked Iran not to hit American targets,” Jamshidi said. 

The US hasn’t commented on the alleged message Iran had sent.

CNN reported that the US is on high alert and is preparing for a “significant” response from Iran against Israeli or American targets in the region. The network cited an unnamed US official. 

NBC, citing two unnamed US officials, said President Joe Biden’s administration is concerned any attack could be inside Israel, specifically against “military or intelligence targets, rather than civilians.”

The Biden administration did take the unusual step of communicating directly to Iran that the US was unaware Monday’s strike in Damascus would happen, Bloomberg reported. That suggested the US was trying to prevent its own forces and bases in the Middle East being attacked.

Iran is tired of Israel.

The Islamic Republic has said it will deliver a “slap” to Israel, its arch enemy. Still, it’s unclear when that would happen or whether Iran would try to attack Israel directly or through one of its proxy groups such as Hezbollah, based in Lebanon.

The airstrike hit the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing at least seven Iranians, including two generals. While Israel has repeatedly targeted Iran-linked assets in Syria over the past few months, this was the first time an attack struck an Iranian diplomatic building.

Israel has been on alert since then, canceling home leave for combat troops, calling up reserves and bolstering air defenses. Its military scrambled navigational signals over Tel Aviv on Thursday to disrupt GPS-navigated drones or missiles that might be fired at the country.

Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, on Friday said a response from Iran is undoubtedly coming. But, he said, his group won’t “interfere in such decisions.”

“And after that, how Israel will behave, the region would enter in a new phase,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech. 

Milk And Honey! 🥛🍯

Hot job market. Highly unpopular president.

Seven months to go and it is a race between two candidates who stand for the status quo.

Of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the jobs report details how many jobs were spread across the United States. Some areas seen job growth while others saw job losses.

Do not assume that every place has jobs. Companies are closing up shop. The tech industry, retail, trucking and press are laying off workers. The service industry is continuing to suffer due to stagnant wages, lack of achievements and work overload.

Also, housing is still down. More Americans can't afford rent or car payments.

Job creation in March easily topped expectations in a sign of continued acceleration for what has been a bustling and resilient labor market.

Nonfarm payrolls increased 303,000 for the month, well above the Dow Jones estimate for an increase of 200,000 and higher than the downwardly revised 270,000 gain in February, the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

The unemployment rate edged lower to 3.8%, as expected, even though the labor force participation rate moved higher to 62.7%, a gain of 0.2 percentage point from February. A broader measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time positions for economic reasons held steady at 7.3%.

In the key average hourly earnings measure, wages rose 0.3% for the month and 4.1% from a year ago, both in line with Wall Street estimates.

Job growth came from many of the usual sectors that have powered gains in recent months. Health care led with 72,000, followed by government (71,000), leisure and hospitality (49,000) and construction (39,000). Retail trade contributed 18,000 while the “other services” category added 16,000.

“This is another really strong report,” said Lauren Goodwin, economist and chief market strategist at New York Life Investments. “This report and the February report showed some broadening in terms of job creation, which is a very good sign.”

Despite the move lower in the broader unemployment level, the rate for Black people surged to 6.4%, a gain of 0.8 percentage point, tying the highest level since August 2022. Rates for Asians and Hispanics both fell sharply to 2.5% and 4.5% respectively.

Markets have been keeping close watch over the employment data particularly as the Federal Reserve weighs its next moves on monetary policy. Stocks have tumbled this week amid concerns that a strong labor market and resilient economy could keep the central bank on hold for longer than expected.

Stock market futures rose following the report while Treasury yields also added to gains.

The Fed is looking to guide inflation back down to 2% annually, a goal that has proven elusive even as the rate of price gains has decelerated from its peak in mid-2022. Most measures have inflation running above 3%, though the Fed’s preferred gauge is below that level.

Market pricing is pointing toward the first interest rate cut coming in June, though several Fed officials, including Chair Jerome Powell, this week indicated they prefer to take a cautious data-dependent approach. The BLS on Wednesday will release its consumer price index reading for March.

Despite a string of positive gains that has kept unemployment below 4% since January 2022, there have been some signs of cracks. For instance the level of household employment had grown only modestly over the past year while temporary employment has declined sharply.

YTIS CALLCUS.

However, the household survey, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate, posted an even more robust gain in March, up 498,000, more than absorbing the 469,000 increase in the civilian labor force level.

We have had over 126 mass shootings in 2024. Over 4,500 Americans died from gun violence.

This month we will have a total eclipse cover 2/3 of the United States. The U.S. government will declare a state of emergency to prepare for any issues to the electric grid or any potential weather events.

President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump are slowly turning against Israel. It has been over six months and the regime has not defeated Hamas. What has defeated was the perception that it was a victim.

Man, has the tide turn.

After Israel did an intentional airstrike on three World Central Kitchen vehicles killing seven, world leaders are now at a point where they are tired of this. They want an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid to begin. Israel faces a possible rift with the United States. 

Biden has called for Benjamin Netanyahu and Isaac Herzog to do more to prevent civilian deaths or face a possible end to assistance from the United States. Now it all seems like tough talk froma leader who many perceive as desperate after voters in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan chose "uncommitted". 

Uncommitted [uninstructed] did significantly well and it has raised alarm bells to the Democrats. 

AIPAC has poured money into many of these primaries. It openly bragged that its choices which were Democrats and Republicans beat their challengers.

The evil Israeli regime is still ignoring international law.

U.S. Special Counsel prosecutor Jack Smith had enough of Trump's delays in the classified documents and insurrection trials. The U.S. Supreme Court will rule on whether Trump has presidential immunity. That case in Washington, DC has U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutken angry. She wants the trial to start as quickly as possible. In the classified documents case, U.S. District Judge Alieen Cannon wants to delay it as much as possible.

After a scathing rebuke and Smith's warning to Cannon that she could be removed from the trial, the Trump appointed judge stated that the charges on Trump will not be dismissed.

Joe Lieberman, a chair of No Labels died. The controversial group announced they will not have a candidate available for 2024. Liz Cheney, Chris Christie, Dean Phillips, Joe Manchin, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Asa Hutchinson and Nikki Haley rejected their offers.

Republicans lost Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher. Marjorie Taylor Greene is still a pain in the ass. She is dangling a motion to vacate around House Speaker Mike Johnson. With only a one seat majority, House Republicans have failed to pass any meaningful legislation and Congress continues to grind through short term government spending laws and funding for Israel and Ukraine. Greene said she will issue a motion if Ukraine is funded. 

Because of that, NATO is considering adding Ukraine to his group. It would also stroke tension with Russia and its dictator Vladimir Putin.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge is slowly being removed from the Patapsco River.

The Congress has less work than most Americans. It is infuriating that the average worker works more 50 hours a week while 157 House members and 36 senators work on average of 25 hours a week.

Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the president. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.

Monthly reminders: 

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations.

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.

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.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in. However, there is always a catch to working entry level jobs that make over $20 an hour. Folks must work hours that do not accommodate home and social life, it may only be part time work or temporary. Some jobs may force overtime or refuse to pay for work rendered. With union being weaken by states, it may be an at-will company. So if you are on social media, protesting injustices or supporting controversial issues or making threats to local officials, you could lose your job.

Jobs are looking good despite fears.

Companies are cautious about hiring employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.

Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.

Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.

We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus, gun violence and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.

Jack Smith is tired of Trump's delay tactics.

Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

Trump's presidency and Republican controlled governments are incompetent. Their leadership has killed millions of Americans. Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should help Israel any further.

They are feeling it. Democrats know the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies. They know that Biden is under extreme pressure to do something. Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters have vowed to never back Biden putting his reelection chances in danger.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is 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" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 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.

Show Your Hand!

The ultimatum. It took over six months, a bunch of deflection, a lot of "I stand with" and my favorite, "Israel has a right...."

President Joe Biden sees his poll numbers. They ain't looking good. His base is cracking.

The fear of another Trump term keeps growing and I fear Democrats squandered a great opportunity to separate themselves from the status quo. 

First and foremost, I am tired of hearing about Israel being "The Jewish State." That ends now! The United States built is core on the separation of church and state. Why the hell is the U.S. willing to accept a country that prides itself on a religious supremacy?

It is time to end the alliance with Israel.

The apartheid must come to an end.

With 35,000 Palestinians killed and numerous aid workers killed, Biden has had enough.

Biden on Thursday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the overall humanitarian situation in Gaza is unacceptable and warned Israel to take steps to address the crisis or face consequences, a stark statement from Israel’s staunchest ally.

The 30-minute conversation was the two leaders’ first phone call since an Israeli strike killed seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen in Gaza. The killings have set off a furor inside the White House and Biden has been described as reaching a new level of frustration with Israel’s campaign.

“President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable,” the White House said in a statement shortly after the call wrapped. “He made clear that US policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”

Biden also said Israel needed to “announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers.”

In the phone call, Netanyahu admitted to his American counterpart that the Israel Defense Forces were to blame for the deaths of the seven World Central Kitchen aid workers this week – and assured Biden that the Israeli government planned to announce measures to prevent such a mistake from happening again, according to a senior administration official.

Netanyahu told Biden that Israel was set on improving the tracking of non-profit workers inside Gaza and Biden affirmed that such steps were necessary, the official said. The prime minister also pledged during the call that Israel will soon announce new openings of humanitarian crossings, as well as procedural changes to limit civilian harm.

CNN reported Thursday afternoon that the Israeli security cabinet has approved the reopening of the Erez crossing between Israel and the northern Gaza strip, according to an Israeli official, in order to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave.

Israel Still Killing Americans! No Repercussions From American Leaders!

Israel killed a humanitarian aid worker who has American and Canadian citizenship.

Jacob Flickinger becomes the latest American to die in an Israeli airstrike. The 33-year-old dual citizen leaves behind a wife and son.

Tawfiq Ajaq, 17  was the last American to die by Israeli forces. President Joe Biden did not offer any condolences or empathy for him. He was from Louisiana.

The junk food media will amplify this man's name and of course Israel will attack his name, the critics and revert to blaming Hamas. We will talk about it for a few days and it's back to business.

Flickinger and six aid workers were killed when three of their marked cars were destroyed in the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces. Haaretz cited Israeli defense sources as stating that a Israel Defense Forces Elbit Hermes 450 drone fired three consecutive missiles, hitting the cars one by one; the cars were travelling on a path "preapproved and coordinated" by the Israeli military.

The workers had been distributing food in the northern Gaza Strip, which has been "pushed to the brink of famine" by Israel's siege and blockade during the Israel–Hamas war. The attack occurred three days after a unanimous ICJ ruling (in the ongoing genocide convention case) that ordered Israel to ensure the unhindered flow of aid into Gaza.

World Central Kitchen was clearly marked. Israel deliberately attacked the convoy.

While driving in Deir al-Balah, a convoy of three WCK cars was fired on multiple times over 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) by an Israeli drone. Survivors of the first strike alerted the IDF, moving to the next car, which was then hit by a second missile. The wounded were then carried to a third vehicle, which was in turn struck by a further missile. All seven aid workers were killed, and their bodies were sent to Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital where they were declared dead.

The attack led the World Central Kitchen to pause its operations in the Gaza Strip, and was condemned by countries around the world. The Israeli military claimed responsibility for the incident, saying it was unintentional. World Central Kitchen founder, Spanish chef José Andrés, has said Israel attacked the convoy "systematically" and "deliberately". WCK called for an independent, third-party investigation into the attacks including whether they were carried out intentionally or otherwise violated international law.

Other humanitarian and aid organizations operating in the Gaza Strip also suspended their operations after the attack.

Besides Flickinger, there were six others.

• Saif Abu Taha (Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha), a 26-year-old Palestinian local from Rafah, he had worked as a driver for WCK since the start of the year.
• Damian Soból, a 35-year-old Polish national from Przemyśl. Soból has worked with the WCK since 2022, engaging in relief efforts in Russian-invaded Ukraine. In February 2023, he traveled to earthquake-stricken Elbistan in Turkey with aid. In September 2023, he helped earthquake victims in Morocco. He then helped Gaza refugees in Egypt and then in Gaza itself.
• Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom, a 43-year-old Australian national.
• James Henderson, a 33-year-old British national who had served in the Royal Marines, he was a private security contractor with Solace Global.
• John Antony Chapman, a 57-year-old British national who had served in the Royal Marines, he was a private security contractor with Solace Global.
• James Kirby, a 47-year-old British national. He was a former soldier and a private security contractor with Solace Global.

This incident has become maybe the final straw. President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin, European Union President Ursula von der Leyen and Pope Francis condemned Israel.

The Iranian government is vowing to hit Israel after it committed another war crime.

The Israelis struck an Iranian consulate killing ten including top members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The strike happened in downtown Damascus, Syria. It infuriated Bashir al-Saad. He and many Arab League members are threatening a trade embargo on Israel.

This isn't about stopping Hamas. It was already detailed since February 2023. They planned to Gaza and the West Bank by force. They needed to scapegoat us into believing that they were attacked first. This has been going on for over 70 years. 

Time to hold Israel accountable. End the aid. Boycott the ethno-state.

"Uninstructed" Took 8% Of Wisconsin Democratic Primary Votes!

Will Biden and Harris get the message? They're jeopardizing their reelection chances.

Though Donald J. Trump and President Joe Biden clinched their pledged delegates to become their party's presumptive nominees, the primaries still continue.

Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan have a large Arab American and Muslim population.

Many of them are at their point of no return. They will not support Trump, Biden or even express interest in third party candidates.

The president and the U.S. stance on Israel has not changed despite the intentional airstrikes on the World Central Kitchen aid workers in the Gaza Strip. Biden was "outraged" and "heartbroken" by the tragedy. He and members of Congress continue to give unprecedented amounts of military and financial aid to Israel.

Democratic voters are strongly souring on Israel but Biden and his party are ignoring them. Many are no longer in support of an ethno-state [aka the Jewish state]. Many are seeing the misuse of allegations.

Islamophobia is way worse than antisemitism.

Biden narrowly beaten Trump in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Losing any of these states can make Biden a one term president. 

Both candidates and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are pro Israel, old and completely out of touch. The U.S. election is so controversial for the fact that Trump is still resorting to this "us versus them" rhetoric. He ain't even defending his only one term's accomplishments other than his ramming through Supreme Court justices and inept federal judges.

The very fact that Democrats are willing to back a fascist regime on the perceptions of it being an ally has turned off its voters. Also it will be a down ballot issue as well. Abortion is a top issue, as is the economy, democracy in our own country, infrastructure and giving military aid to Israel and Ukraine. 

Biden has to earn 270 electoral votes and so far I have his odds slightly impove to 48% chance of winning a second term. I had it at 44% chance.

Trump has a 47% chance to win another term. However, his legal issues are a problem as well as the enthusiasm waning. He has a 85% support from Republicans. 94% of MAGA support.

In Wisconsin, "uninstructed delegation" took 48,093 votes, or 8.3% on the Democratic side, with 99% of the vote reported by Wednesday afternoon. Biden had 510,450 votes, or 88.6%. About 3% voted for Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips, who has ended his campaign and endorsed Biden.

Biden not listening.

Voters displeased with Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war organized into a "Listen to Wisconsin" campaign that mirrored other states like Michigan and Minnesota, where a similar "uncommitted" option took about 13% and 19% of the vote in the Democratic primary, respectively.

The movement has picked up 26 delegates in other states. Biden has already earned the 1,968 delegates needed to secure his party's nomination. But uninstructed delegates could advocate for policy changes at the convention in Chicago.

Wisconsin's 8.4% percentage was less than similar "uncommitted" options in other states that held primaries Tuesday. In Connecticut, the uncommitted delegation was at 11.4% Wednesday afternoon with 98% of the vote in. In Rhode Island, it was 14.9% with 99% of the vote in — just teetering on the edge of picking up a delegate spot.

In Wisconsin, some voters on the Republican side also selected the "uninstructed delegation" option — about 2%, or 12,900. That option performed fourth best, after U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who took 12.8% and 3.3% of the vote, respectively.

Republican voters may have picked those options as a way of protesting former President Donald Trump, who took 475,375 votes, or 79.2%. While "uninstructed" voters pose a challenge to Biden, his raw vote totals and percentage in his party's primary was higher than Trump's.
