31 year old Jonathan Gartrelle was arrested Monday in Miami and charged with felony counts of strong-arm robbery and escape, as well as misdemeanor counts of resisting an officer without violence and obstructing a public street. He is accused of stealing flags from vehicles involved in a pro-Trump caravan. Oh, and he’s also one of the organizers for BLM in South Florida. Go figure.


I don’t know where this is going to go, if anywhere, but a group of Republican lawmakers have put forth a resolution that would effectively ban the Democrat party. It specifically cites the Democratic Party platform’s support for slavery between 1840 and 1856, and other racist actions by party members through the early-to-mid 1900s. It also calls on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to “remove any items that names, symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery or the Confederacy” from the House and its properties. The resolution also says such a party “shall either change its name or be barred from participation in the House of Representatives.”


Charlemagne tha god, a radio host from NYC, just told Joe to shut the eff up forever.

“I really wish Joe Biden would shut the eff up forever and continue to act like he’s starring in the movie ‘A Quiet Place’ because as soon as he opens his mouth and makes noise, he gets us all killed, OK?” the radio host said. “There’s already so many people who are reluctantly only voting for Joe Biden because he’s the only option and because Donald J. Trump is that trash.”

“How are we ever going to atone for America’s original sins if we don’t acknowledge them?” Charlamagne asked in reaction to Biden’s remarks. “How the hell can Donald Trump be the first racist president in a country where 12 presidents before him owned slaves?”

I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with Charlemagne before, even partially like today, but yeah, Joe needs to shut the eff up. . .

In the key demographics of adults 18-49 and 25-54, the declines are 55% and 53%, respectively. Get woke, go broke. . .


If you own a DJI drone, be aware that the Chinese can use it to spy on you.
