CNN renews a show - MEN'S HEALTH publishes fact free article by racist Jessica McBride

Above is Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Donald Chump's Middle East Whore."

It's fresh, less than 90 minutes old. D

CNN has renewed HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU for a third season. I did not watch the show or know of the show until two weeks ago when C.I. noted it at THE COMMON ILLS and she also noted it last weekend as well. I remember Roy Wood Jr. was supposed to be doing a humor show for CNN after leaving THE DAILY SHOW. And that's it. They have not done a good job promoting this. In fact, C.I. only noted it the last two weekends because a friend with the show asked her to note it. She wasn't aware of the program herself.

Here's a taste.

It airs on CNN each Saturday at 9:00 pm EST.

I really like Roy Wood Jr. When they were trying to find the new host after Trevor Noah, he was one of my top three picks. In order it was Leslie Jones (first), Roy (second) and Chelsea Handler (third). They were the ones who regularly as guest host were knocking it out of the park. Any of the three would have been great. However, none of the three was selected.

And I'm not a Chelsea fan. She'd really started to get on my nerves and I'd forgotten how funny she could be until she started guest hosting on THE DAILY SHOW.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: I have people come up to me and say crazy things to me out of the blue in public places that they believe because they read it on the internet.

Chelsea Handler: Well if that's not the pot calling the kettle QAnon. This woman thought 9/11 was a hoax, that the Clintons killed JFK Jr. and that Jews are in charge of space lasers. But please, don't come at her with some crazy ideas -- she might believe them.

If you're looking for a show to sample, I'd urge you to give HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU a try.

If you're looking for an article to avoid -- MEN'S HEALTH on TV show cancellations. Love how THE NEIGHBORHOOD is 'cancelled.'

No, it wasn't. It will be back next year as WIKIPEDIA notes, " In March 2025, the series was renewed for an eighth and final season, which will air in the 2025–26 television season." Dumb Ass Jessica McBride needs to learn how to read and write.

The Neighborhood, After Midnight, The Summit, and Poppa's House were also cancelled, Glamour reported. Young Sheldon is being cancelled too, Rotten Tomatoes reported.

YOUNG SHELDON ended in May of 2024. What a stupid idiot.

And she doesn't note the seasons on THE NEIGHBORHOOD which you can compare to:

The Conners ended in April after seven seasons, according to People.

[. . .]

In addition, The Handmaid's Tale is ending "after a sixth, and final, season," Rotten Tomatoes reported. The site added that Life & Beth is also being cancelled.

[. . .]

They are Solar Opposites, which will end after Season 6, How to Die Alone, Wayne Brady: The Family Remix, and Extraordinary.

[. . .]

In addition, The Empress was renewed for a third season, but it will be the show's final one, according to Screen Geek.

[. . .]

Squid Game will end after Season 3, and Stranger Things will end after five seasons. You is also ending.

In March 2025, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that The Recruit is ending after two seasons.

[. . .]

Rotten Tomatoes also reported that the Netflix shows Big Mouth and Kaos were cancelled and that Cobra Kai will end "after the sixth, and final, season." Outer Banks was cancelled after five seasons, Rotten Tomatoes reported,

None of the shows she names seassons for ran eight seasons like THE NEIGHBORHOOD. It's cute -- and telling how she opts to describe shows with Black casts (go to the link and read her stupid article) and with a cast with leads that are Black and White -- although the cast is all Black except for three characters when you bring in the supporting actors. Let's all pretend that the Karen's not a racist.

We already know she's an idiot. She also maintains, "La Brea is being cancelled "after a third, and final, season," according to Rotten Tomatoes." LA BREA went off the air in February 2024.

Somebody paid this idiot to write that piece?

Please go read Ava and C.I.'s "Media: Art can reflect life and life can . . ." which is about everything including two streaming TV shows.

Going out with C.I.'s "The Snapshot:"

Thursday, May 15, 2025. So much to cover today, Chump continues his Middle East whore, at home in efforts to gut Medicaid continue, Tulsi Gabbard sends the wrong message to those in intelligence (one that puts us all at risk), Bruce Springsteen speaks the truth that Chump fears, racists from South Africa posing as victims begin arriving in the US, and much more.

Everything had to be put on hold yesterday to address a topic that was about deceptions, lies, racism and sexism. So let's start this snapshot noting an award.

That's Katie Couric interviewing Ben, Brett and Jordan Meiselas and Marni Rose McFall (NEWSWEEK) reports on the brothers and the award they just won:

The MeidasTouch Podcast, a show critical of President Donald Trump, has won Podcast of the Year at the Webby Awards.

Ben Meiselas, co-founder of The MeidasTouch Podcast, said in an email shared with Newsweek: "We're honored to receive the top award for all podcasts at the Webbys—especially as an independent media network. It's a testament to the incredible community that rallied behind us and helped share the show with the world."

The left-leaning MeidasTouch Podcast has been dominating the podcast charts since the beginning of Trump's second term in office, after overtaking popular podcasts including former No1 Joe Rogan. It has held firm as the country's most downloaded podcast, indicating a shift in what the American people want to hear.

The 29th Webby Awards were held in New York last night, hosted by actress Ilana Glazer.

"The truth is golden," said Ben Meiselas, after journalist Molly Jong-Fast presented him with the award, adding in a press release it was "the honor of a lifetime."

Founded in 2020 by three brothers Ben, Brett and Jordy Meiselas, who describe the podcast as "a pro-democracy news network," the organization began by creating viral videos and political ads opposing Trump and supporting Democratic candidates.

So congratulations to them, they've more than earned it.

Now let's dive in the cesspool that is Chump Land. We know who's ruining the country but can someone figure out who's running it?

9/11 was an awful day. A tragedy. And it could happen again. That was the whole point of the 9/11 commission and it was the point of various reforms.

So when Chump refuses to take part in intelligence briefings because he wants to watch porn on his cellphone or when he appoints people to security posts who are not qualified to those posts, he puts us all at risk. Pete Hegseth is not qualified to be Secretary of Defense and his Singal chats have demonstrated he does not grasp that classified information must be kept secret. Tulsi Gabbard was put into the post of Director of Intelligence. Not only is she unqualified but it's also true that this post was created after 9/11 because it was felt that it was sorely needed to prevent another 9/11.

And we got Tulsi. Steve Bennen (MADDOW BLOG) explains:

As NBC News reported last week, a declassified memo drafted by the National Intelligence Council — the top entity for analyzing classified intelligence and providing secret assessments to policymakers — explained that Nicolás Maduro’s Venezuelan regime is not orchestrating Tren de Aragua’s operations in the United States. (The document came to light by way of a Freedom of Information Act request by the Freedom of the Press Foundation, a nonprofit organization.)

A week later, as The Washington Post reported, Trump’s highly controversial and wildly unqualified national intelligence director decided to fire the leaders of the National Intelligence Council — the office that dared to tell the White House what it didn’t want to hear.

The official line from Gabbard is that she’s combatting the “politicization” of the intelligence community, a conspiratorial line embraced by partisans who disapprove of the extent to which intelligence agencies have presented evidence the president doesn’t like.

Indeed, as the Post noted, Gabbard has actually “removed or sidelined officials perceived to not support Trump’s political agenda.”

Or put another way, if anyone is “politicizing” U.S. intelligence, it’s Gabbard and her Team Trump colleagues. What’s more, the DNI’s latest purge sends a dangerous signal to intelligence officials throughout the government: Produce reports that make the president happy, regardless of the facts, or you might be next.

Ryan Grenoble (HUFFINGTON POST) adds:

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard fired two senior officials at the National Intelligence Council after it released a report concluding the Venezuelan government is unlikely to be directing the activities of Tren de Aragua, in sharp contrast to President Donald Trump’s countless claims to the contrary.

Trump has repeatedly asserted, while offering no evidence, that Venezuela is somehow guiding the actions of the street gang. Trump also invoked Tren de Aragua to justify invoking the Alien Enemies Act shortly after taking office, leaning on the 1798 law to deport people without due process.

Michael Collins, the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof were fired Tuesday, a source told CNN. It’s unclear what role, if any, Collins and Langan-Riekhof played in producing the analysis.

The firings come a week after an intelligence assessment produced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s government probably isn’t involved in Tren de Aragua’s operations in the U.S.

Do you grasp what that unqualified stooge did?

She did not like the intelligence and the assessment so she fired them. No, that is not how it's supposed to go. She has now made clear to the people she pretends to supervise that if they want to keep their jobs then they better tell her what she wants to hear. That's no way for intel to be run. She was never qualified.

If and when there's another attack, it needs to be noted that Chump let our intel chain rot and did so knowingly and willingly.

And Trashy Garbage -- as Trina's dubbed Tulsi -- was never qualified to head anything, let alone to be over the nation's national security. Her latest move proves it. Intel is not an area where you want yes-people who just tell you what you want to hear. I cant imagine any area of work that would benefit from just yes-people but intel is supposed to be following everything, analyzing it all, offering possible outcomes, etc. You need various opinions being expressed and someone at the top capable of taking it all in and making the call regarding what's being offered, what's the most pertinent and how do we need to proceed.

Tulsi has failed at her job.

She better pray that there's not another 9/11 because if there is? Her head and Chump's head are going to be the first the American people are going to be calling for.

She is not up to the job. She never was. The United States is in danger while incompetents like her remain over intel.

We should all be alarmed.

Bruce Springsteen is in on tour. He made a public call to let freedom ring this week.

Bruce spoke the truth, Chump just speaks lies. Lucian K. Truscott IV (SALON) explains:

It seems to have been going on much longer, but it has been only one month since Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day,” when he did his big reset on the world’s economy by raising tariffs on goods exported to this country to 10 percent, with higher “reciprocal” tariffs of up to 50 percent on 57 countries. The tariffs were supposed to take effect on April 9, but Trump chose that day to suspend for 90 days all the reciprocal tariffs except those on China, which he raised to 145 percent, because, he said on Truth Social, China had been “ripping off the U.S.A.”

Fifty-seven countries and the rest of the world had waited, and Trump caved, a grand total of seven days after stock markets around the world crashed and the dread “R” word, recession, began being uttered by cable news hosts and hitting newspaper headlines.

It took only 30 more days for Trump to cave on his China tariffs. On Monday morning, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the U.S. and China would be suspending the reciprocal tariffs of 125 percent the two nations had imposed on one another. The original 10 percent U.S. tariff would remain, with China maintaining its 10 percent tariff that had been imposed in answer to Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff. The U.S. is maintaining some kind of 20 percent “fentanyl” tariff on China, but that one is likely not long for this world,

What happened in the intervening month? China just waited. Reports of empty shipping berths at ports all along the West Coast began appearing. Talk of “empty shelves” started to hit the airwaves. Trump, pressed on what kind of Christmas American kids were going to have with all shipping from China at a standstill, began babbling about girls having to settle for “two” dolls rather than “thirty,” and “five” pencils instead of “250.” Where the hell he came up with dolls and pencils and those specific numbers was never explained.

Over in China, in Xi Jinping’s office, no explanation was necessary. Trump was panicking. So Xi and his trade representatives sat by the phone. Last week, it rang. Who knows what Trump’s trade representative said, but it had to be some version of “can we talk, please?”

Yes, Chump created the mess -- and wrecked the economy -- and, yes, he did not have 'victory.' He caved this week in a desperate attempt to save face but his face is broke.

And, as Steve Benen (MADDOW BLOG) notes, he's not just lying about trade deals, "

As recently as Thursday, JD Vance appeared on Fox News, and while he expressed concern about the intensifying conflict between India and Pakistan, the vice president added that the violent escalation between the two countries was “fundamentally none of our business.”

It was a difficult position to take seriously — when two nuclear-armed countries are launching attacks on one another, potentially destabilizing the region, the conflict is absolutely the business of global leaders — and Vance’s rhetoric soon looked even worse when Trump declared two days later that his administration had negotiated “a full and immediate ceasefire.”

But that proved problematic in part because, a day later, there was evidence the ceasefire was not holding, and also because India’s foreign minister downplayed the United States’ role in the negotiations.

Nevertheless, while in Saudi Arabia, Trump was eager to boast about how effective his strategy was with India and Pakistan. “I said, ‘Come on, we’re going to do a lot of trade with you guys. Let’s stop it. Let’s stop it. If you stop it, we’ll do a trade. If you don’t stop it, we’re not going to do any trade,’” the Republican claimed. “And all of a sudden, they said, ‘I think we’re going to stop.’”

According to India, Trump didn’t know what he was talking about. NBC News reported:

“The issue of trade didn’t come up in any of these discussions,” Jaiswal said, referring to the conversations with Trump administration officials.

It serves as a timely reminder: Trump sometimes takes credit for accomplishments that don’t exist, and he sometimes takes credit for accomplishments for which he’s not actually responsible.

Chump's lies, like his greed, not going away. It's who he is. And the American people are really seeing his corruption streak with the plane bribe from Qatar. Lawrence O'Donnell addressed this last night on MSNBC.

On the plane, Ruth noted last night:

He is greedy. This is bribe and no one needs to pretend otherwise. No one should. But there is also the issue of being the president of the United States and disrespecting this country by wanting a cast-off from a foreign government.

America, we are not his choice.

America, we are not good enough for him.

Chump's Middle East visit this week has been all about corruption and about embracing people the US government has labeled as tyrants and/or terrorists. His actions and remarks will result in blowback to our country for many, many years to come. Eric Martin (BLOOMBERG NEWS) points out:

President Donald Trump sent a message to the world in Saudi Arabia: make business deals and the US won’t meddle in your affairs.

Trump, on the first overseas visit of his second term, praised the country’s leadership for its modernization push and said Iran, Lebanon and Syria all had the opportunity for a brighter future. The Middle East would be “defined by commerce, not chaos,” he said.

Fulfilling the wishes of many of his MAGA base, Trump rejected notions of nation-building and pressure on human rights that other US presidents once championed. Of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump said, “I like him a lot — I like him too much.”

While Chump frolics in the Middle East and delivers one lap dance after another, his plan to gut Medicaid continues in the Congress. The attack on Medicaid is an attack on America and attack on millions of Americans' healthcare. The attack on Medicaid and CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) is about denying healthcare and putting approximately 80 million Americans at risk.

Chump's soaking up every foreign dollar a terrorist or tyrant can slip in his g-string right now but he wants to rip the healthcare from those in need, from children, from the challenged and disabled, etc, etc. Nikki McCann Ramirez and Andrew Perez (ROLLING STONE) report:

The chief priority of congressional Republicans is to make permanent an extension of Trump's first-term tax cuts. The version of the tax bill currently being considered by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee preserves much of the 2017 legislation while folding in some of Trump's 2024 campaign promises, including no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, and even less taxes for the wealthy.

However, just like the 2017 cuts, this new tax bill would add trillions to the deficit - and it would once again disproportionately benefit the rich. The poorest Americans, meanwhile, could see a tax increase. In order to pay for the legislation, Republican lawmakers won't look toward the people who are hoarding the vast majority of the wealth in this nation, but will instead take a hacksaw to social services and safety-net programs that help the nation's poorest families survive, as well as raise taxes on universities, charities, and nonprofits.

According to the bipartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, the GOP's proposed tax provisions would increase the national debt by $5.3 trillion. It's a phenomenal cost that Republicans intend to offset, to some degree, by forcing 10 million Americans off Medicaid, pushing millions off food stamps, and increasing health care costs for many.

There will likely be several weeks of debate and negotiations to finalize what will surely be Trump's signature second-term legislation.

Here are 10 of the worst policy changes in the president's "big, beautiful" super bill.

Keeping taxes low on the rich

For one brief moment, it seemed that the president was entertaining the possibility of raising taxes on the highest incomes in the nation. It took less than a week for him to discard the idea.

The planned extension of Trump's 2017 cuts would make permanent the income boons the president gave to Americans during his first term, which heavily favored the highest income brackets in the country - giving the rich big tax cuts while doing little to nothing for the nation's lowest earners. This time around, the tax bill is expected to raise the average tax rate, by roughly one percent, on Americans earning less than $15,000 next year, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Millionaires would see a three percent tax cut.

Meanwhile, the legislation would also boost the wealthiest Americans' families when they die, raising the estate tax exemption up to $15 million.

At MARKETWATCH, Chris Matthews weighs in on the GOP attack on Medicaid:

The Congressional Budget Office — legislators’ official scorekeeper on the effects of legislation — estimates the bill would cut federal spending on healthcare by more than $700 billion over a decade, or what Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon called Monday “the largest Medicaid cut in history.”

[. . .]

The financial pain could also extend to institutions that rely on Medicaid dollars, including hospitals that treat large numbers of low-income patients and insurance companies that run Medicaid health plans in dozens of states.

Hospitals that serve poor and rural areas in high-enrollment states receive extra funding to help cover the gap between what Medicaid pays and what care actually costs. These dollars often come through supplemental payments and provider tax arrangements that allow states to draw more federal matching funds.

The bill would sharply restrict both mechanisms by barring states from paying Medicaid providers more than Medicare rates unless they can justify the difference. It also tightens rules on provider taxes, or fees paid by hospitals to fund the state’s share of Medicaid, which would mean less federal money supporting healthcare providers.

Hospital companies that could be impacted by these changes include HCA Healthcare Inc. Tenet Healthcare Corp. and Universal Health Services Inc.

Senator Patty Murray's office issued the following:

Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former Chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) joined Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Alexis McGill Johnson and Planned Parenthood advocates in holding a press conference on the Republicans’ partisan reconciliation bill that includes provisions to “defund” Planned Parenthood and make the largest-ever cut to Medicaid in history.

Republicans’ reconciliation bill, which only requires a simple majority to pass in each chamber of Congress, would result in at least 13.7 million people losing health insurance by 2034, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO)—this figure is a result of Republican cuts to Medicaid combined with Republicans’ refusal to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits and the Trump administration’s sabotage of the ACA marketplace. CBO estimates that the provision in House Republicans’ legislation defunding Planned Parenthood would increase the deficit by $300 million.

“Republicans are gearing [up] to kick more than 8.6 million people off their health insurance, and while they are moving heaven and earth to extend tax cuts for the richest people on the planet, they are not so much as lifting a finger to save the health plan tax credits for working families—something that will push yet another 4 million people off their insurance… Because the brutal reality is that Republicans are not just taking away people’s health coverage, they also want to shut the doors on one of the biggest health care providers in the country. They want to defund Planned Parenthood,” said Senator Murray.“About three in four people say they oppose defunding Planned Parenthood health centers. But Republicans do not care—they need to appease their far-right, anti-choice fringe. Now this is going to hurt their own constituents, seeing as one in three women have been to a Planned Parenthood health center for care. But Republicans don’t care—after all, billionaire tax cuts won’t pay for themselves! Although the irony is, in this case, defunding Planned Parenthood would actually cost our country more money in the long term. CBO estimated yesterday that one provision in House Republicans’ bill would actually increase the deficit by $300 million dollars! And, defunding Planned Parenthood will cut off millions of patients from basic health care like cancer screenings, pap tests, birth control. But Republicans just don’t care—whatever Donald Trump wants, comes first for them. Well, I want everyone to know, Democrats do care. And we are not going to let Republicans blow past all the warning signs. Saving people’s access to basic health care—saving Planned Parenthood—is just too important.”

One in three women have been to a Planned Parenthood health center for care and for many people, Planned Parenthood health centers are their only source of health care. Planned Parenthood is more popular than any elected official or party, and nearly three-quarters of voters, including more than half of Trump voters, oppose Congress taking away funds from Planned Parenthood health centers for providing birth control, wellness exams, and cancer screenings.

“Make no mistake: The House’s reconciliation bill is targeting Planned Parenthood. By moving full steam ahead to push a dangerously unpopular agenda, House Republicans have shown they aren’t concerned about their constituents or cutting costs. This effort to ‘defund’ Planned Parenthood will threaten Americans’ health and futures, and leave a gap in care no other provider can fill. We cannot allow these lawmakers to play politics with health care. Planned Parenthood Action Fund is showing up every day with reproductive freedom champions like Sen. Patty Murray until we defeat this outrageous attack,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, President, Planned Parenthood Action Fund.

“In the State of Washington, Planned Parenthood serves about 100,000 patients annually. So that just tells you, where are those 100,000 people going to go if you don’t have Medicaid as a reimbursement mechanism? About half of those patients rely on Medicaid,” Senator Cantwell said. “Small communities like Pullman, Washington, and other parts of Eastern Washington — where there are no other choices to deliver this kind of care — you’re asking people then to either do without care that might tell us something about a very pressing health care condition, or make you have to give up job time, or drive miles and miles and miles and miles, just to get the care you deserve.”

“Plain and simple: Republicans are putting health care further out of reach for Americans, all because they need to give tax handouts to their rich friends. Planned Parenthood is a health care provider – they do cancer screenings, regular checkups, and so much more, but Republicans refuse to accept that and would rather try to score political points, so they are going to take that essential health care away from American families. It’s wrong and we are going to fight it,” said Senator Baldwin.

Senator Murray is a longtime leader in the fight to protect and expand access to reproductive health care and abortion rights and is widely credited with holding the line against any budget deal that would cut funding for Planned Parenthood in 2011 and leading the fight to uphold President Obama’s policy requiring insurers to cover birth control as part of the Affordable Care Act. Murray has led Congressional efforts to fight back after the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision overturning Roe v. Wade, introducing more than a dozen pieces of legislation to protect reproductive rights from further attacks, protect providers, and help ensure women get the care they need; Murray has led efforts to push for passage of these bills on the floor multiple times. Last year, on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Murray led her colleagues in hosting a “State of Abortion Rights” briefing with women who have suffered firsthand from Republican abortion bans, and last June, she chaired a HELP Committee hearing titled “The Assault on Women’s Freedoms: How Abortion Bans Have Created a Health Care Nightmare Across America.” Murray helped lead efforts to force Republicans on the record on votes to protect access to contraception and access to IVF (twice), and led her colleagues in raising the alarm about the threat a second Trump administration poses to reproductive rights and abortion access in every state, as outlined in Project 2025.

Senator Murray’s remarks, as delivered, are below and HERE:

“Well, thank you all so much for joining us. We are here to raise the alarm as Republicans are now moving heaven and earth to gut health care in this country.

“You know the saying ‘women and children first?’ Well for Republicans, billionaires go first—and women and children go overboard.

“That’s essentially the principle they are writing into their reconciliation bill right now.

“Despite all the warnings from families across the country—despite warnings from themselves, Republicans are gearing [up] to kick more than 8.6 million people off their health insurance.

“And while they are moving heaven and earth to extend tax cuts for the richest people on the planet, they are not so much as lifting a finger to save the health plan tax credits for working families, something that will push yet another 4 million people off their insurance.

“But it gets worse—much worse—and that’s what I want to remind everyone here today now.

“Because the brutal reality is that Republicans are not just taking away people’s health coverage, they also want to shut the doors on one of the biggest health care providers in our country.

“They want to defund Planned Parenthood.

“That is wildly unpopular—about three in four people say they oppose defunding Planned Parenthood health centers. But Republicans do not care—they need to appease their far-right, anti-choice fringe.

“Now this is going to hurt their own constituents, seeing as one in three women have been to a Planned Parenthood health center for care. But Republicans don’t care—after all, billionaire tax cuts won’t pay for themselves!

“Although the irony is, in this case, defunding Planned Parenthood would actually cost our country more money in the long term. CBO estimated yesterday that one provision in House Republicans’ bill would actually increase the deficit by $300 million dollars!

“And, defunding Planned Parenthood will cut off millions of patients from basic health care like cancer screenings, pap tests, birth control. But Republicans just don’t care—whatever Donald Trump wants, comes first.

“Well I want everyone to know, Democrats do care. And we are not going to let Republicans blow past all the warning signs. Saving people’s access to basic health care—saving Planned Parenthood—is just too important.

“We don’t have to guess at the stakes here—we already know from experience. We have seen exactly what has happened when Republican states have defunded Planned Parenthood: health care outcomes—worse, fewer patients receive care.

“The fact of the matter is, if Republicans get their way—if they succeed in shutting the doors of Planned Parenthood clinics across the country—millions of women will have nowhere else to turn.

“After all, two-thirds of Planned Parenthood health centers are in rural and medically underserved areas—places where there’s already a shortage of clinics and health care professionals. And for a lot of these patients, Planned Parenthood is literally the only provider in reach and in budget. They literally can’t afford to lose this care.

“So, we are not going to stand by as Republicans try to cut off this lifeline, just so they can cut a massive check to billionaires like Trump and Elon Musk.

“We are here today to put a bright and burning spotlight on the full extent of the destruction Republicans are planning. And to lift up the voices Republicans are most afraid of—the patients who they are trying to cut off from health care.”

One of the worst crimes of the 20th century -- there were many, the Holocaust being top of the list -- took place in South Africa and was supported by the US and UK governments among others. A White population ruled via apartheid which denied Black people rights. The objection to this racist and illegal system built slowly but it did build. As early as 1964, singer Dusty Springfield was refusing to let the South African government make her perform to segregated audiences. Dusty was a huge international star and the spotlight she shined can't be denied. Many people first learned of the heroic Nelson Mandela as a result of this spotlight. Others had spoken out before and others would do so later on building the opposition outside of South Africa to apartheid. It was a case of human rights and Desmond Tutu and so many others were able to educate the world on that. Finally apartheid fell.

White racist Donald Chump was a supporter of apartheid. Now he wants to bring White South Africans to the US. He's denying refugee claims of all people with color but he relates to the self-presenting 'victims' of South Africa. He lies with them and he lies for them. They have a lot of money so of course he gets in bed with them.

It is a horror show to watch as US president bring these people into the US. Morgan Music (LATIN TIMES) notes:

South Africa's president pushed back against U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that white South Africans are facing a "genocide," following their admittance as refugees.

"Those people who are being enticed to go to the United States do not fit the definition of a refugee," President Cyril Ramaphosa said during the Africa CEO Forum's annual summit Monday. He emphasized that those in question are not victims of persecution, but rather "a fringe grouping" who oppose South Africa's post-apartheid reform.

"They are leaving ostensibly because they don't want to embrace the changes that are taking place in our country," Ramaphosa said, adding that those individuals "would actually like to see South Africa go back to apartheid."

Trump defended his administration's resettlement plan during remarks at the White House on Monday, stating that white farmers in South Africa are being "brutally killed" and their land "confiscated." He called it "a genocide," and criticized reporters for ignoring what he portrayed as a racially motivated crisis.

There is no genocide. It's a lie. ATLANTA BLACK STAR NEWS reminds:

Trump, influenced by another South African immigrant, Elon Musk, has joined many on the right who have have accused that country’s government of enacting anti-white legislation and policies that have fueled violence against white landowners in the nation that for decades was ruled by a white minority that subjugated the country’s majority Black population until 1991.

The numbers suggest much has gone unchanged since the end of apartheid. Whites still own three-quarters of private land and have about 20 times the wealth of the Black majority, according to international academic journal the Review of Political Economy.

Less than 10 percent of white South Africans are out of work, compared with more than a third of their Black counterparts.

In order to close those disparities, South Africa last month passed a new law regulating property expropriation. Trump accused the ruling party, without evidence, of illegally confiscating land from white farmers, according to Agence France-Presse. That in turn gave new life to claims about white farmers being murdered, though experts maintain all racial groups have been targeted of the approximately 50 farmers killed annually in South Africa, AFP reports.

[. . .]

White South African journalist Simon Ateba went even further, saying the refugees’ real fear is not violence, “but equality,” noting that 70 percent of the country’s resources are controlled by whites, who make up just 7 percent of South Africa’s population. Adding, “That’s not persecution that’s privilege on a guilt trip.”

Persecution complex? That's MAGA and that's Chump. And they're stamping their feet. Brett Samuels (THE HILL) notes, "The White House has directed federal agencies to stop work with the upcoming Group of 20 (G20) conference slated to be held later this year in South Africa amid outcry from President Trump over the treatment of white South African farmers." AFP reports that the White House has attacked the Episcopal Church:

On Monday, the church had said it would wind up its refugee resettlement grant agreements -- amounting to more than $50 million annually -- with the US federal government rather than comply with Trump's orders.

In a statement, the church's presiding bishop was scathing in his criticism of the administration's decision to grant the white South Africans refugee status.

"It has been painful to watch one group of refugees, selected in a highly unusual manner, receive preferential treatment over many others who have been waiting in refugee camps or dangerous conditions for years," said Sean W. Rowe.

Under eligibility guidelines published by the US embassy, applicants for US resettlement must either be of Afrikaner ethnicity or belong to a racial minority in South Africa.

The Episcopal Church said that it could not comply with Trump's order "in light of our church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation."

The Episcopal Church made the only ethical choice available. Chump can't understand that because for him money is always supreme, it is his god.

Okay, winding down with e-mails. Stacey Abrams is popping up in the e-mails because she's 'not going to run a third time.' Or she's being told not to. Not a Stacey fan. Stacey will run if she wants to. No one's going to talk her out of running if she wants to. She's a strong person. Why am I not a fan? Stacey's personable and likeable. But she's lousy when it comes to hiring campaign staff. She is a natural candidate. She communicates with ease.

She does not understand campaign strategy, however, and she hires useless people who won't say, "Stacey, I hear what you're saying but that's not going to help you and let me explain why." Instead, they defer to her and, again, she is no good with campaign strategy. If she does run again -- and that's her decision -- she needs to look for a campaign manager who will challenge her, not someone who's going to go along with whatever she wants. If you're candidate's Bill Clinton, sure, go along with what they want. They know campaign strategy. Bill's also someone who is a natural candidate when it comes to communicating and interacting with people. Few are Bill Clinton. Most need help with one or the other. If they need help with both, they really shouldn't be running for office to start with.

On e-mails, I'm not backing AOC for the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2028. I'm not backing anyone at this time. It could be AOC. And if it is, I will vote for her. In case it is, we need to be having real, grown up conversations and having them right now. FOX "NEWS" and the others will not just attack her as a Socialist (which she is), they will twist that into Communist. Now is the time for the left to have the needed conversations so we're on the same page or a similar page and can address the attacks that will surely come.

I'll vote for whomever the nominee is. Some I'll vote more gladly for: JB, AOC, Andy, Elizabeth, Cory, Jasmine . . .

Others?

Gavin Newsom, to the courtesy phone, Bea Arthur's calling from the great beyond and she wants her hairstyle back.

He finally changes his hair -- as I've advocated for him to do for years and to his face -- and that's what he comes up with?

The move to attack trans people and immigrants mean I won't campaign for him in the primary and won't vote for him in the primary; however, if he gets the nomination I would vote for him in the general. I don't see how he would get the nomination. The right has made him the poster boy of all that is wrong in the country. The homeless rate has soared. He's done nothing to address that in the state and now he's penalizing the homeless. The right will make a big deal about homelessness and theft. Probably try to get Roseanne Barr to do some commercials (she hates Gavin) where she mocks and makes fun of him and, sad thing is, what are seen as his failures are so well known that they won't need to do a lot of introductory work to set up Roseanne's jokes.

If you're supporting AOC and you're a Socialist, the best thing you can do is make sure those around you know you're a Socialist. Put a face on the term. If you're supporting AOC and are not a Socialist, you should be thinking in terms of "Why we need a Socialist in the White House at this time in history." Come up with the answers to that question and prepare to deploy them if she runs because she will be attacked in the primaries. The GOP will make Socialism her crime. Her supporters need to hit just as strongly on why it actually makes her the best candidate.

AMAZON cancels shows, AMC slashes prices, HBO returns to the past

The merger between DISCOVERY and WB should go down as the worst merger of this century. They do not know what they are doing. They didn't after the merger. They still don't:

First it was HBO Go, then it was HBO Now, followed by HBO Max and ultimately just Max. But now, Warner Bros. Discovery is rebranding its streaming service yet again to: HBO Max (Yes, you read that right).

The media giant's move, which was announced during its upfront presentation to advertisers on Wednesday and will take effect this summer, is based on refocusing its streaming strategy on "the programming that is working best" — including HBO, box office movies, docuseries, certain reality series and Max originals, as well as deprioritizing other genres that the company says drive less engagement or acquisition.

Inga Parkel (INDEPENDENT) adds, "In 2023, WBD announced it was rebranding HBO Max to simply Max, explaining at the time that the change was intended to broaden the platform’s identity to include reality shows alongside its award-winning series. However, it appears the powers that be have had a change of heart."

Meanwhile AMAZON PRIME has axed ten shows. THE CITADEL is not one of them but the two CITADEL spin-offs have been axed -- also axed is THE POWER (which I liked), HARLEM (ditto), THE STICKY, THE PRADEEPS OF PITTSBURGH, THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY, the awful CRUEL INTENTIONS and CLEAN SLATE.

Now let's note films. AMC theaters has a new plan which they hope will lure people back into the theaters: 1/2 price tickets on Wednesdays. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER explains:

More recently, the globally renowned movie theater company formally announced plans to introduce half-priced movie tickets this coming summer. Starting July 9 and continuing on to every Wednesday afterward, theatergoers will be able to purchase tickets to new and highly anticipated movies for a fraction of the cost.

By implementing this strategy, AMC has said that they hope to entice new customers to their properties, as well as helping combat traditionally low theater turn outs for the middle of the week.

"Beginning Wednesday, July 9, and on Wednesdays thereafter, moviegoers can watch the newest releases on the big screen at 50% off the normal adult-evening ticket price each Wednesday, making movies more affordable and accessible for guests throughout the United States," AMC said in their official statement announcing the plan.

To seize advantage of these new discounted ticket prices, customers must have an AMC Stubs membership. This membership account is free to use, allowing users access to significant exclusive offers, including free refills on large or reusable popcorn buckets, waived online ticket fees, and priority lane service.

Going out with C.I.'s "The Snapshot"

Wednesday, May 13, 2025. The fake assery never ends and today we have to put everything on pause to address David Hogg's pursuit of celebrity, how Socialists are using him to sew division within the Democratic Party (and why they're doing that), the benefits of having White skin, the left's knee jerk racism and so much more.

Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Fake Ass Waleed Shahid" went up last night.

We were talking yesterday and I told Isaiah some ideas I had for today's snapshot and he did that comic to help. What I'd planned though is largely gone. Events change. But we'll be touching on that comic throughout the snapshot. It's Waleed Shadid. He's a Socialist. He plays like he's a Democrat but he's not.

Let's start with AOC because two weeks ago, I was supposed to return to that topic but we've been busy.

AOC can't win in 2028 if she's the presidential candidate.

Not right now she can't.

People don't like liars and they don't like tricksters. Waleed does not help AOC by hiding in a political closet.

AOC is a Socialist. She used to be DSA. She probably still is but many of those members don't claim her anymore. That's especially true of the SA wing of DSA.

We can't have honest conversations because some of us can't be grown ups.

Rashida Tlaib did one good thing in 2025 that I'll praise her for, she identified herself as a Socialist.

That's what she is. If you're going to treat that like something unspeakable, AOC doesn't stand a chance in hell in 2028.

As a feminist, I'm fully aware of how campaigns about I-had-an-abortion spoke to people, gave faces to the issue. When a gay person or a trans person comes out, it puts a face on the issue. Who are the faces of Socialism in this country? If you're a Socialist, why don't you get honest about it and actually do something to build your movement and to make it easier for AOC if she runs for president in 2028?

You can grow the hell up and stop hiding in closets and stop acting as though Socialists is something to be ashamed of. But until you stop hiding behind 'progressive' or 'leftists' or whatever term you want to use, you're hurting AOC.

If she runs, FOX "NEWS" will go to town on her. And people who do not read this site will suddenly be shocked to learn that AOC is a Socialist. They will wonder why this was hidden, they will think that hiding it means it's something shameful.

When we first started noting here that Rashida was a Socialist -- basic reading and comprehension skills should have informed you of that before I ever touched on the topic --angry e-mails flooded in daily. She's not a Socialist! She's not!!! Can you imagine that on a larger scale with someone running for president?

If you want AOC as president, you should grow the hell up and stop pretending she's not a Socialist or you're not a Socialist.

Why do they lie?

All of the Justice "Democrats" selected by Cenk and Kyle were Socialists. They weren't Democrats. That's Greg, that's all of them. And that is their spokesperson Waleed Shahid.

Ask Waleed why he's hiding?

Ask him why a grown man poses as a Democrat.

I can tell you why. If he owns up to being a Socialist, it's that much harder for him to trick Democrats.

And that's what he wants to do.

Last night, I got really mad. I don't write about stuff if I don't know what I'm talking about. If it's something new to me, I've reached out to everyone I know who could help me with the topic.

So I don't get why you weigh in on things when you don't know s**t.

Yeah, we're talking about David Hogg.

Socialists back David Hogg. Largely White Socialists. Most Socialists are White. Like Waleed.

And I've said all along that they are part of The Politics of Destruction. Just like MAGA. I've said it's so easy for them to flip.

And you saw that last night.

You saw 'progressives' (Socialists) online go full MAGA.

I believe in DEI.

Racists don't.

And racists on the left were all about anti-DEI last night.

David Hogg's election is no more. It was done wrong, he and another man were lumped in together and this is a violation of the rules. It hurt women. And one woman brought a complaint. She did so before Hogglet announced his sketch of the future. It has had to work through the system.

Kalyn Free put in her challenge in late February and won today. This whole response shows his immaturity and why he had no business being elected as Vice Chair. He is free to quit at any time.

David is not the victim -- not unless you ignore the facts, don't bother to learn them, and just believe every lie that comes out of Little David's mouth.

It's all a plot against him, whiny brat insists. I don't have the time -- or the desire -- to recount Jared Gans' article for THE HILL. David was one of five people elected to be vice chair of the DNC. Hogg's race did not follow the rules which is why Kalyn Free stepped forward and asked for the issue to be looked at. It has been. She was cheated. The party has to make good on this.

Free is a member of the Choctaw Nation. She's a former district attorney. She graduated from college and law school. The American Bar Association awarded her a Spirit of Excellence Award.

Unlike Little David, she's never sold armbands that had to be pulled from the market because they looked like armbands worn by Nazis. No, she's not made all the mistakes Little David has.

But instead of people agreeing that the rules that were in place should have been followed, it becomes anti-DEI because that's what Socialists do.

It is their knee jerk reaction to go racist. And it ticks a lot of us off.

He stomps his feet and accuses people of conspiring against him. Poor little tyke, at this rate, he's not going to have any conspiracy left to embrace when he goes full on MAGA.

The race has to be redone.

Rules were in place to maintain fairness and women suffered because the rules were tossed aside.

He stomps his feet and demands the office because he's White!, he's White!, he's White! And, oh yeah, he has a penis.

Run, Little David, run! Surely, there's a game of Funny-Face Horse about to start somewhere in the country.

Hogg and Kenyatta will both face a do-over. Malcolm Kenyatta's not happy, NEWSWEEK reports, but he's also not embracing Hogg's wild conspiracy theories:

"The credentials committee believed, as they stated, that they are remedying a procedural flaw. But doing so the way they did, is a slap in my face. I'm frustrated, but I'll be ok."

Kenyatta continued, "However any story about this, that neatly places this into a narrative about David Hogg is wrong. I worked my ass off to get this role and have done the job every day since I've held it. This story is complex and I'm frustrated— but it's not about @davidhogg111. Even though he clearly wants it to be."

Yes, David was one of five but as I've noted David was 'the missing blond girl.' All the media attention went to David who's never done anything or accomplished anything. He is, however, White.

You: Can we give him a second because he just got elected? No. Malcolm Kenyatta was also just elected as DNC Vice Chair. Here's how Malcolm has spent his first 100 days in office. Do you see any appearances on Bill Maher in this list? Why do you have such low standards for white men?

May 13, 2025 at 11:54 AM

The David Hogg brigade previously pimped such notables as John Fetterman.

Lisa Bee (she/her)

‪@leebee4life.bsky.social‬

Fetterman isn’t who the Blue No Matter Who folks supported. They wanted Conor Lamb or Malcolm Kenyatta. We ended up with Fetterman because of Bernie supporters.

May 10, 2025 at 6:26 AM

Wait. You mean Bernie Bros could be wrong?

The people who elevated Tulsi Gabbard as an important and anti-war voice! They could be wrong!!!!

They're wrong all the damn time.

Speaking of wrong, NEWSWEEK wrongly types the below:

Democratic strategist Waleed Shahid posted to X on Monday: "The DNC has spent much more time discussing their 25-year-old vice chair than on any sort of audit or autopsy of the $1 billion Harris campaign."

Waleed Shahid is a Socialist. He is not a Democrat. He's worked primary as a Bernie Bro but he is not a Democrat, he is a Socialist. That's why he was the spokesperson for Cenk and Kyle's Justice "Democrats" -- all Socialists. They're liars and NEWSWEEK should not enable them. They're Socialists, not Democrats. If you're reporting, NEWSWEEK, then report. Waleed's a Socialist.

He attacked Kamala as a Socialist.

He was part of Uncommitted -- the DSA 'movement' to keep Kamala out of the White House.

And now he's backing David Hogg.

That should be a warning to everyone.

But some people refuse to see reality.

The press needs to stop letting Waleed attack the Democratic Party and pretend he's one of us. He is not.

As the SEP -- a Socialist political party in the US -- repeatedly notes, DSA is nothing but fake assery. They regularly lie to trick people. (Here's Tom Hall at WSWS explaining how the DSA, THE NATION magazine and others are working together to lie to you and prop up a union leader.)

Waleed's now attacking the Democratic Party and defending an unqualified White man -- White men like Waleed demonstrated their racism throughout 2024.

I'm tired of the stupidity and of the willful stupidity.

David Hogg didn't present a plan nor did he say anything smart. But one fool after another says, "I like what he said."

What he said was primary Democrats. In the past, he has done that because of age. Now it was supposed to be because they are centrists.

First off, to a Socialist, every Democrat is going to be a centrists. Grasp that.

Second, the woman he worked to defeat last time was not a centrist. But no one wants to talk about her either.

No one wants to do the work required.

As someone who actually has spent the last 20 years addressing the issue of people in Congress who should retire, I can do what David can't. I can offer concrete examples of how we can try to address it. Let's start billing families for special elections -- families and the estates. You knew you were too old to complete the term, you died in office, your estate -- not taxpayers -- should cover the cost of the special election to replace you. Start doing that and watch people start stepping down.

That's just one proposal we've made at THIRD as we've covered this issue over and over since the days of Robert Byrd in the US Senate.

Again, that's just one proposal we've made. David's made zero.

David has no plans. He only has slogans.

I did not attack Hogglet when he spoke of his intent to primary 'safe' Democrats. I said we need details and I waited to see what he was going to offer that would argue against the history of these attempts -- they don't work. Ned Lamont won the primary but Joe Lieberman then ran as an independent and retained his Senate seat, for example. The other historical examples would be incumbent Dems bloodied in primaries who then lose the general election and that has happened over and over.

But I wanted details and we never got them from Hogg. This is from Ava and my "Media: Baby Hogg is no leader:"

And he's a grifter who won't even get honest about what he's planning for 2026.

Other liars and grifters like noted racist Keith Edwards have had him on their YOUTUBE shows and have not only ignored financials but have also refused to ask him to explain who would face a primary. He has made generic statements (and specifically stated he wouldn't primary Nancy Pelosi).

He refuses to present his plan.

So how about we look at the type of Dem he hates?

WIKIPEDIA notes:

On November 17, 2024, Hogg lambasted outgoing Congresswoman Mary Peltola (D-AK) on X, describing her as "awful on gun control" and bidding her "good riddance" following her electoral defeat.^[56]^[57]

So that's the kind of Democrat he would primary? From WIKIPEDIA:

Mary Sattler Peltola^[1]^[b] (born August 31, 1973) is an American politician and former tribal judge who served as the U.S. representative from Alaska's at-large congressional district from 2022 to 2025. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously served as a judge on the Orutsararmiut Native Council's tribal court, executive director of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, Bethel city councilor, and member of the Alaska House of Representatives.

Scroll down that page. She was for reproductive rights, she was for LGBTQ+ rights, she called out transphobia, etc, etc.

David didn't like her position on gun rights -- a position in keeping with many in Alaska.

He celebrated her loss. Nick Begich III replaced her. The Republican is anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, he's anti . . .

But David's thrilled that Mary's out of Congress?

His judgment is questionable, to put it nicely, questionable.

Here's reality one more time. To defeat Donald Chump and save the country, Democrats have to get control of at least one house of Congress. We're not going to do that focusing on challenging incumbents in 'safe' districts. There are no safe districts right now. There's nothing safe about the world we're living in with a madman in the White House.

White people are the least effected by this. Socialists don't give damn. Some of them, quite honestly, seem to enjoy the chaos that Chump's creating. Easy to do, I guess, if you're not being erased or deported or targeted.

We need control of the House of Representatives and David's slogans passed off as 'plans' have no successful historical roots. This has never worked and it most likely won't this time.

We shouldn't even be considering it with all that's at stake right now.

FAFO doesn't seem to have registered with a lot of you.

We can't afford, the day after the mid-term elections -- to say, "Hmm. Maybe we did need that centrist Democrat from that district because now we've got to go two more years until elections and right now we have no check at all on Chump."

Stupidity is also thinking that David Hogg can reach young men.

It's racism, by the way, to think that's what's needed. White men. And it's racism to think that only a White man could reach other White men.

But David can't speak to the manosphere. We're talking about a pipsqueak that makes Timothee Chalamet look butch. Men laugh at David.

And David's confession to Bill Maher last week that he can't find a woman who'll have sex with him didn't make him look any better.

To men especially, David Hogg is Shelter In Place. During a school shooting, while many students tried to help others and some risked their lives doing so, 18 y.o. David hid in a closet and texted and made videos.

That's not leadership.

That's not manly action.

That's a coward.

And that's how men David's age see him.

So relinquish your fantasy that David Hogg will deliver you to the promised land of the Manosphere.

But you can't because the racism is ingrained.

When Jill Biden was First Lady and wanted both the winning team and the losing team to come to the White House, that struck many as racist.

And those of you who want to ignore the rules that weren't followed and want to gift David a position of vice president are also coming off racist.

As you reject the Native American woman, maybe ask yourself if your knee jerk reaction isn't due to the fact that David Hogg seems 'like you'?

Your racism is noted.

Like the media, the Socialists never embraced Malcolm. He hasn't been hiding. He's been going around the country speaking about real issues -- not his sex life. Most of you don't even know his name.

But the media spotlight -- naturally -- went to the White guy. And you went right along with the spotlight. You didn't question the racism in that -- again, we've been noting David is the 'missing blond girl' for weeks now (referencing the '00s when every missing White girl was national news but a little girl of color goes missing and she doesn't get the same media coverage).

You bought into the racism and now you work to amplify it.

We've had to spend time yet again talking about David Hogg. That's your proof right there that he was not good fit for a DNC job. It's not about celebrity, it's about getting out the vote and discussing the issues that matter. David can't do that.

He's an attention whore who only wants to talk about himself.

We have real issues and he can't address them because he's not mature enough and he doesn't know anything. This was his chance to learn and instead of sitting on his uninformed ass and learning, he tried to act like he was DNC chair and tried to act as though we had drafter this pipsqueak into leadership.

Martha McHardy (NEWSWEEK) reports:

Donald Trump's approval rating on immigration has reached a new low, according to polling.

Immigration was the cornerstone of Trump's 2024 campaign and an issue Trump previously polled highly on. But recent polls have shown Trump's approval rating on immigration underwater.

A decline in approval now—especially as immigration remains a central focus—signals potential vulnerability in his messaging and may reflect shifting public attitudes or dissatisfaction with how he and his allies are handling the issue.

That's what I was hoping to start today's snapshot with. Yesterday, I saw that and it seemed like the natural opening and we were going to address tariffs and Chump's attempt to rewrite history and the issue of firings and travel.

But instead we're stuck talking about 'victim' David Hogg.

Idiots online make up whatever s**t they want and spread it. How is that different than MAGA?

Over and over, I see the lie that Nancy Pelosi came for David! That's why this happened! She wanted him out!!!

If she wanted him out, her daughter would have voted differently. But you can't be bothered to learn who voted this week and how they voted.

You'd rather go off into MAGA insanity and racism and launch attacks on Nancy or whomever.

James Clyburn. He's another that they're lying about. David Hogg, they insist, does things not like that awful James Clyburn!!!!

Really? That's an argument you want to make?

Or how about the idiots likening him to AOC? Elevating him up to AOC's level?

She's a member of the US Congress who has been elected multiple times. She is someone speaking out on important issues.

Do not insult her to glorify your pampered White boy.

Again, racism has been on display every time the Hogglets rush forward to defend their false god.

David Hogg is a distraction but, more importantly, he's a division.

He's dividing and divisive.

And that's why Waleed and others are pimping him.

Even those idiots realize it's now over for David Hogg. But they think they can use Hogg still to outrage people and maybe then force the DNC to do something the want. Just like DSA bragged that they got their pick -- Tim Walz -- on the presidential ticket!!!!

David is a scab that Waleed and others plan to pick at forever. They want to use it to try to take control in some way, in any way they think they can get it.

I'm tired of it.

And I'm tired of MSNBC, NEWSWEEK, et al presenting Socialists as Democrats. We are not the same thing. And we -- Democrats -- are in the millions in this country so why is it that we're usually the last invited to speak or be quoted? They'll bend over backwards to bring in a Socialist and play them as a Democrat but they don't seem to want actual Democrats on air or in print.
