The movie The Karate Kid has seen a real resurgence in popularity thanks to the Cobra Kai show but we all loved the original The Karate Kid movie who grew up watching it over, and over, and will no doubt remember the actor Chad McQueen who played on of Johnny Lawrence best friends when he got his big break in 1984 when cast in the hit movie. While in the film “The Karate Kid” playing "Dutch" where not only did he really look the part. But also played him as vicious as there would be in the Cobra Kai crew on that movie.
The hilarious part was in real life he was a very humble and actually nice person and too boot a legacy name actor in that he was the son of screen Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, and now it's saddens me to report that he has died at age 63.
Way too young if you ask me and with deepest condolences I write this because he was set to return in a Cobra Kai episode but didn't end up in it where he was going to reprise his role as "Dutch" ... Remember again in the movie he played one the adversary of Ralph Macchio’s lead character.
McQueen’s attorney, Arthur H. Barens, told The Associated Press that he died on Wednesday. The actor followed in his father’s footsteps, both on screen and on the motor racing circuit. His wife, Jeanie Galbraith, posted a tribute to him on Instagram with their son Chase and daughter Madison. The family announced his death “with a heavy heart,” adding: “His remarkable journey as a loving father to us, along with his unwavering commitment to our mother, truly exemplified a life filled with love and dedication.
His passion for racing not only highlighted his exceptional talent, but also served as a way to honor his father’s legacy, a testament to the values instilled in him. He passed his passion, knowledge and dedication down to us and we will continue not only his legacy but our grandfathers as well.”
McQueen is also survived by his son from a former relationship, Steven R. McQueen an actor who appeared in “The Vampire Diaries.” Chad McQueen reprised his role in “The Karate Kid Part II” sequel in 1986, and appeared in several other films, and also produced two documentaries about his father: “I Am Steve McQueen” in 2014 and “Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans” the following year.
“I didn’t find acting fun anymore,” McQueen said in a 2005 interview with AP. “So, I decided to give racing a total commitment.” In a separate Instagram post, McQueen’s son Chase wrote: “Knowing you’re now reunited with the your (sic) Dad and Sister brings me some comfort. Until we ride again I love you.”
Also paying tribute to him online was Jon Hurwitz, one of the creators of “Cobra Kai,” the “Karate Kid” revival that has proven a hit for Netflix. He said he and his colleagues had met with McQueen to discuss a return to the series. Posting on X, Hurwitz described McQueen as a “Karate Kid legend,” adding: “Unfortunately, Chad was unable to join us when it came time to shoot. At the end of the day, it wasn’t meant to be. But Dutch will always be remembered as a badass’ badass in the Miyagiverse. He kicked ass.”
He added: “The fandom mourns a Karate Kid legend today. I’m so grateful I had the honor of spending an afternoon with him. Sending much love and strength to his wonderful family. May Chad rest in peace.”
So a tape from 1993 has leaked with a confession by Dr Shirley Wright who was the assistant of Albert Einstein who she claimed he saw The Roswell UFO crash and ET's in 1947. She also says she saw the ship but well not to put words in her mouth take a watch for yourself and witness what she claimed was seen by again Albert Einstein. This makes sense if this "CRASH" happened the government who is investigating it would bring in the top Scientist of the time to look at it... The two names here was Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla... But Tesla had just passed not shortly before the Roswell Crash.
So Albert Einstein would be the best suited mind to bring in along with some others. But remember what Einsteins main focus and work was. "Space" and "Einstein's Rosen Bridge theory" which is how Space and how it connects two far away points in space-time through a tunnel or bridge. The bridge's length is predicted to be far shorter than the distance between the given two points. So the tunnel acts as a shortcut.
The wormhole concept is one of the many path-breaking predictions of Einstein's general relativity.
Trump and Harris presidential debate watch party...

Enjoy these videos while we wait for the debate...
Wow this broke my heart... The voice of my favorite cinematic character of all times has passed away as we have lost the incredible Icon James Earl Jones. Not just the voice of Lord Vader but also the voice of many iconic roles. His voice was one for the ages, be it as a Lord of the Sith in "Star Wars" to King of the jungle in "The Lion King" the mans voice was one you can recognize for his voice was one for the ages. But he was more than a voice... He was a true cinema GEM, and one of the greatest actors in the history of cinema period.
Born January 17, 1931 not just an American actor of films but he was also very known for his amazing years of work in theater. He was one of thefew performers to have achieved the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). Jones has been described as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile" actors for his performances on stage and screen,and "one of the greatest actors in American history".
Being born In 1931 at Arkabutla, Mississippi, he had a stuttering issue since childhood. Just picture this Darth Vader with a stuttering issue! But some would shy away from public speaking due to this curse it wasn't something James Earl Jones would do as he said that poetry and acting helped him overcome the challenges of his disability. A pre-medmajor in college, he served in the United States Army during the Korean War before pursuing a career in acting.
From the age of five, Jones was raised by his maternal grandparents, John Henry and Maggie Connolly, on their farm in Dublin, Michigan; they had moved from Mississippi in the Great Migration. Where Jones found the transition to living with his grandparents in Michigan traumatic and developed a stutter so bad that he refused to speak. He said, "I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year, and then those mute years continued until I got to high school." He credits his English teacher, Donald Crouch, who discovered he had a gift for writing poetry, with helping him end his silence. Crouch urged him to challenge his reluctance to speak through reading poetry aloud to the class.
Jones graduated from Dickson Rural Agricultural School In 1949 (now Brethren High School) in Brethren, Michigan, where he served as vice president of his class. He attended the University of Michigan, where he was initially a pre-medmajor. He joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and excelled. He felt comfortable within the structure of the military environment and enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow cadets in the Pershing Rifles Drill Team and Scabbard and Blade Honor Society. After his junior year, he focused on drama with the thought of doing something he enjoyed, before, he assumed, he would have to go off to fight in the Korean War. After four years of college, Jones graduated from the university in 1955 with a Bachelor of Arts with a major in drama.
But for all his work over the years it was In 1977, Jones made his debut in his iconic voiceover role as Darth Vader in George Lucas' space operablockbuster filmStar Wars: A New Hope, which he would reprise for the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Darth Vader was portrayed in costume by David Prowse in the film trilogy, with Jones dubbing Vader's dialogue in post production because Prowse's strong West Country accent was deemed unsuitable for the role by director George Lucas. At his own request, Jones was uncredited for the release of the first two Star Wars films, though he would be credited for the third film and eventually also for the first film's 1997 "Special Edition" re-release. As he explained in a 2008 interview:
When Linda Blair did the girl in The Exorcist, they hired Mercedes McCambridge to do the voice of the devil coming out of her. And there was controversy as to whether Mercedes should get credit. I was one who thought no, she was just special effects. So when it came to Darth Vader, I said, no, I'm just special effects. But it became so identified that by the third one, I thought, OK I'll let them put my name on it.
In 1977, Jones also received a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Great American Documents. In late 1979, Jones appeared on the short-lived CBS police drama Paris, which was notable as the first program on which Steven Bochco served as executive producer. Jones also starred that year in the critically acclaimed TV mini-series sequel Roots: The Next Generations as the older version of author Alex Haley.
The year 1987 saw Jones starring inAugust Wilson's playFencesas Troy Maxson, a middle aged working class father who struggles to provide for his family. The play, set in the 1950's, is part of Wilson's ten-part "Pittsburgh Cycle". The play explores the evolvingAfrican Americanexperience and examinesrace relations, among other themes. Jones won widespread critical acclaim, earning himself his secondTony Award for Best Actor in a Play.
Seems more and more of these reports are coming out and folks it's sickens me to keep saying this but when you see this it's important to remember in November that this is caused because of the failed administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris... This should not have happened but again another issue with a man losing his life as a result of a run in with an illegal. Widow Deann Miller is furious after illegal immigrant crashes truck, killing her husband and said that 'Government failed me' which I really think it did and she should sue Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for allowing this man to come here illegally like they have been doing with all these people coming here. Deann Miller explains why she believes the federal government is 'responsible' for her husband's death after an illegal immigrant gets one year in prison.
Let this sink in! The lady lost her husband in an accident caused by a person who broke the law coming here illegally and he gets 1 year in prison? That man should rott in jail for more and finally deported to his country when he's done serving his prison term. He should NEVER be allowed back into our country. The fact we continue to see cases like this well it's heart breaking.
A Growing problem not just for people my age but much older folks are getting this sort of government adanment while we the people who have spent decades working paying bills and being legal clean working citizens suffer these liberals want to give away our tax money to keep funding wars and bring in more illagals to help them continue to rig elections. They literally just shot a bill in California to give illals breaking the law chances at buying homes worth $150K more than the house I was forced out to sell by WellsFargo bank.
Meet Mechy Polo Paez, 68, she never envisioned her retirement would include living in a van. Her husband, Orlando, once lived with her in the van and both were once environmental activists, immigrated from Cuba to Miami in 1991. Where they ran a juice bar and produced radio and television programs. However, a recent rent increase of $400 forced the couple into homelessness. “I don’t have money. Everything is going up. Everything,” Paez explained to CBS when asked how they ended up living in a van. This is what happened to them under the current administration. AND more and more people are ending up like these folks. Myself included! I've been disabled since 2019 I have a broken back (L4/L5 both need spine fusion.) also have thyroid tumors, and can't hardly walk. But I've been denied help by disability office since I was disabled for reasons un known while money is being lost by BILLIONS again to feed wars, and illegals.
November 2023, the couple managed to secure housing through a local program, “Mia Casa,” that provides seniors with meals and temporary housing while they transition to permanent homes. But shortly after, Orlando died of a heart attack. Paez, who is also battling pancreatic cancer, however, remains optimistic about her future settling into a new home. Seniors like Mechy Polo Paez are the fastest-growing population of unhoused individuals, with nearly 138,098 individuals over the age of 55 experiencing homelessness on a given night in 2023, according to data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Based on estimates from academics, that number is expected to triple by 2030. What is causing this rise? It's a complex problem. Some say... But it's really not. The problem is inflation, and illegals being brought in and these institutions are tossing people out of their homes as quickly as possible for what liberals just have been trying to do which is secure help to get homes sold to illegals. Help for criminals not citizens folks and this is what it all boils down too.
But let's look at other facts here also as seniors tend to require more physical and mental care, which increases their costs. Lack of affordable housing and high rents are making finding an affordable place to live more challenging. The record rise in inflation like I said also paired with a fixed retirement income makes it increasingly difficult for seniors to adjust to rising costs. Senior poverty rates are also on the rise. In 2022, the national poverty rate for people aged 65 and over was 10.9%. While lower than the national average, that’s an increase from the 10.3% senior poverty rate in 2021.
This marks the second year in a row that this group’s poverty rates have increased. Another cause is rising inflation. While Social Security benefits do increase with inflation, those increases lag by a year. This means that seniors may pay higher costs for a full year before their benefits increase.
Car insurance rates have spiked in the US to a stunning $2,150/year but you can be smarter than that. Here's how you can save yourself as much as $820 annually in minutes (it's 100% free) In response to rising poverty rates, many resources are available to seniors struggling to cover rising costs. According to the New York Times, only half of eligible seniors have signed up for SNAP, which helps cover food costs. With an average benefit of $202, SNAP can help offset the rising cost of food. Many states have energy programs to offset the cost of electricity, gas and water. In Ohio, for example, the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps Ohioans of all ages cover rising electricity costs.
While many seniors know how to claim their Social Security benefits, they may not know about supplemental Social Security benefits, which provides financial assistance to seniors 65-plus who earn less than $1,971 per month. Many seniors have Medicare for health insurance costs, but additional supplemental programs can help cover the costs of transportation, prescription drugs, caregivers and home modifications like ramps to help you stay in your home. Additionally, many local programs, like the “Mia Casa” initiative that helped Mechy Polo Paez, are helping seniors find homes and happiness in their golden years.
Hey even a broken clock has the time right at least twice in a 24 hour period so for years now I've waited to say that finally low life California failed Governor Gavin Newsom did something which I can say is right... Looks like he has vetoed a Democrat-led bill Friday 9/6/24 that would have allowed illegal immigrants in California to apply for the state’s first-time home buyers assistance program. Folks let this sink in! See a bit of a backstory on myself here... IN 2018 I lost my home while being a US Citizen this meant nothing to them and did nothing to help me.. Actually the Banks made my life a living nightmare and all due to mortgage issues which were hidden from me from the BANKS!
My house I had paid for in 2000 but my credit was bad for the house Mortgage was under my mothers Credit which was awesome! She passed in 2016 and while I was on the DEED I wasn't on the Mortgage and it took em 6 months to add me after she passed and by then I was told the mortgage had gone up 4 months before my mom died but nobody knew so we kept paying the old lower bill. So by the time I got added and was able to take over the house mortgage I was disclosed all the info and they told me we owed them THOUSANDS which I didn't have! So while nobody would help not even family, I was forced to sell my home to avoid losing it. And to think these Libtards wanted to give illegals a path to buy a home with "STATE BACKED HOME OWNERSHIP Loans and Payment Assistance!" This should anger anyone who lost a home and banks and states did nothing to help you like myself... These liberals are so bent on destroying the Citizens and bringing in these illegals who are CRIMINALS! Remember I was forced out of my home of 16 years and the entire home at the time was valued at $140K LESS than what they wanna give illegals now!
The legislation, if signed into law, would have made illegal immigrants eligible for up to $150,000 in state-backed home ownership loans or down-payment assistance. The shared appreciation loan program, called California Dream for All, is funded by the state and run by the California Housing Finance Agency. Both chambers of the Democrat-controlled California legislature passed the measure last week, but Newsom rejected it over funding concerns. “This bill seeks to prohibit the disqualification of applicants from one of California Housing Finance Agency’s (CalHFA) home purchase assistance programs based solely on their immigration status,” Newsom wrote in his veto message. “Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively.” LMAO "ensure we manage our resources effectively." That's a first! About time he did something to help the state I mean for crying out loud his state has become a joke under he and Nasty Pelosi living there and in office.
“For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill,” he concluded. Good move there and for that I will not call you NewScum for the rest of this post... Starting NOW! So this bill drew a wave of public pressure from conservative outlets and figures, like Fox News and Elon Musk. It also received push back from California senate Republicans, all nine of whom urged Newsom in a letter to veto the newly passed measure because it would, in part, enable the state’s home buyers assistance program to prioritize illegal immigrants over veterans and other US Citizens like myself. “Such good news! Governor Newsom listened to our calls and rightfully VETOED the bill to give illegal immigrants free home loans,” Republican senate minority leader Brian Jones said in a statement reacting to the veto. He denounced the bill as “insulting and unfair” for Californian citizens.
While state Republicans applauded Newsom for striking down the measure, which would have burdened the state budget, Democratic lawmakers were disappointed by the news. I say SCREW Them if they're disappointed... “I’m deeply disappointed that Governor Newsom today vetoed Assembly Bill 1840. The bill had won wide support in the Assembly and passed the Senate to get to his desk,” said Democratic state representative Joaquin Arambula, who introduced the bill. Shockingly Joaquin Arambula is from a Mexican family and he loves to peddle to illegals. His dad Juan is from Mexican parents while he was born in Texas himself. Juan the father left the Democrats and is now independant for years due to him not being in line with the agendas he saw from them years ago and saw how messed up the party was getting. His son is still stuck on stupid and has become nothing but a Radical idiotic Demoncrap.
“AB 1840 simply sought to clarify language in the existing California Dream for All program to make it clear that undocumented immigrants can apply,” he added. “The fact is, right now, anyone can apply who is a first-time homebuyer who can meet the program’s financial requirements that include securing a bank loan or mortgage. As I’ve said before, the bill is not about immigrant policies or the housing crisis. No single bill can solve those issues.” "undocumented immigrants" should NOT be here as they're ILLEGALS without Documents! Why would you give them a loan, housing, and all this crap if NOT to keep the border open and have more come here to get their free stuff? Hey keep flooding it right leftists? This is how you "Build Back Better" without the current US Citizens getting help and illegals getting it all handed on a platter. These leftists all need to be tarred + feathered and sent to prison.
Established in 2022 as part of the 2022-23 state budget, the California Dream for All program initially received $500 million in funding. The program used $300 million of the allocated funds when it rolled out last year; it blew through the $300 million in eleven days. Not chocking as these liberals blow through our tax money as much as Nancy Pelosi changes her diapers. The governor’s decision comes one day after former president Donald Trump said, if reelected, he would ban illegal immigrants from obtaining home mortgages because the record-high immigration influx is driving up housing costs. This makes more sense... “That’s why my plan will ban mortgages for illegal aliens,” Trump said Thursday, without elaborating on said plan. ONCE more the left needs TRUMP to show them the way... Just like MAMALA Harris and Joey Biden who are now saying "NO TAX ON TIPS" like Trump had been saying. The funny part is THEY added the Tax on Tip which now they threaten they won't remove unless Harris wins? lol
The 25-year-old daughter of Georgia DA Fani Willis’ Kinaya Willis was arrested for driving with suspended license, the daughter of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was arrested last month for allegedly driving with a suspended license, according to the report. The report said Kinaya was pulled over in Tyrone, Ga., on Aug. 24 for driving while using her cellphone when checking her drivers license police discovered it had been revoked.
After Kinaya was arrested, her mother swung by the scene to secure her daughter’s 2010 Nissan Altima. “Willis’s mother later arrived on scene to take possession of her vehicle,” the report states. Kinaya was booked at the Fayette County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of driving with a revoked or suspended license.
Kinaya who is a Texas Southern University student is the daughter again of the leading prosecution of Trump’s 2020 Georgia election interference case which is why this news has broken so wide.
But if this wasn't only the issue as it turns out also Kinata is reportedly pregnant. She told an officer that she had been using her cellphone “due to her mother calling her related to her pregnancy,” the report notes.
Kinaya claimed that she was “unaware” that her license had been revoked since May 13, also for allegedly driving while it was suspended. She also had her mugshot taken at the facility, which is a 30-minute drive south of her mom’s Atlanta office, before being released. Yup the lady who laughed at Trump having his mug shot taken now has her own daughter arrested and has a mugshot. Doubt this one will sell any T-Shirts from fans of her or her daughter. Maybe some MAGA fans might make one to mock them back for what they're doing to Trump. IF nobody has thought of this yet get on it people. lol
Kinaya has an Oct. 24 arraignment scheduled in the Tyrone Municipal Court and faces a minimum of two days in jail, $500 fine and a six-month extension of the suspension if convicted, according to the outlet.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. Willis’ sprawling racketeering case against Trump has been on pause since June, while the Georgia Court of Appeals weighs the former president’s effort to disqualify the 52-year-old district attorney.
Trump and eight of his co-defendants had asked the Georgia appeals court in March to hear their arguments accusing Willis of misconduct over her relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade who stepped down following the court order brought against her office where either he or her had to step down. Willis has also faced multiple investigations launched by state and federal lawmakers over her alleged misuse of taxpayer money and relationship with Wade since securing the grand jury indictment against Trump and 18 others last August.
Trump, 78, and his 13 remaining co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to felony charges accusing them of breaking Georgia’s anti-racketeering law in an alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election results in the Peach State. Also now with the immunity case of Trump being settled by the Supreme Court it will be interesting if the Trump team also asks for the case to be thrown out against him since he has "presidential immunity" on such conversations as he was still President when this call took place which he asked for a re-count on the votes because it seemed votes had been missing.
This is what provoked this entire thing as it's ok for the leftists like Stacey Abrams (also of GA) to deny election losses of her own and demand recounts and nothing happens to her but if Trump says the same thing he has to go to trial over it. These people are sick and I love how "Karma" keeps kicking these people in the face for the harm they're doing to the country not just President Trump.
I wonder if Fani will try and go to her local "black church" and use the "race card" on her daughters Drivers License being suspended! And of course blame it on TRUMP somehow and his MAGA supporters. LMAO I mean at this point they trying to bury him with all lies might as well right? I also wonder if she paid her daughters bail with that "cash" she always has stored in her closet and not in the bank?
US election 2024 INFO: Our own Laura Loomer the well known Right-wing activist posted that Jeff Walz, the brother of Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz, supports Republican Presidential pick Donald Trump, and yes this news has now gone viral. As we could expect the news of Jeff Walz, the brother of Kamala Harris’s running mate Tim Walz coming out as a supporter of Republican presidential Donald Trump the online speculation about the reclusive Walz brother’s political leanings took social media by storm.
After Laura Loomer posted a photograph, purportedly of a donation slip, which she claims shows that Jeff Walz donated to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. While the authenticity of this photograph couldn't be verified, the post has since gone viral, sparking heated debate.
Loomer’s post on X (formerly Twitter) read, "Tim Walz @GovTimWalz and @KamalaHarris are such a bad Presidential ticket that Walz's own BROTHER is supporting Donald Trump instead."
Sharing “evidence”, she continued, "According to these FEC records, Jeff Walz, the brother of VP candidate Tim Walz, donated to President Trump's presidential campaign in 2016. Jeff Walz lives in Florida. Perhaps I will go interview and ask him about his support for Donald Trump." The controversy deepened as Loomer shared more alleged details about Jeff Walz’s political stance. She claimed that on March 30, 2023, the same day Trump was indicted for business fraud, Jeff Walz referred to the US under the Biden administration as a “third world banana republic” on his Facebook page.
Loomer wrote, “Jeff Walz, the brother of Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, donated to President Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign and said ‘We’ve just become a third world banana republic’ on his Facebook page... Now she’s running for President with Jeff’s brother.” In the wake of Loomer's posts, Jeff Walz made statements on Facebook distancing himself from his brother's political ideologies. In a comment, he expressed his disapproval, saying, "The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future."
NEW:
🚨🚨🚨
Tim Walz @GovTimWalz and @KamalaHarris are such a bad Presidential ticket that Walz’s own BROTHER is supporting Donald Trump instead.
According to these FEC records, Jeff Walz, the brother of VP candidate Tim Walz, donated to President Trump’s presidential… pic.twitter.com/6wEwGo6bCu
He also revealed a strained relationship with his brother, stating, "Haven't spoke to him in 8 years. I'm 100% opposed to all his ideology." Jeff Walz alleged that after Tim Walz was tapped as Kamala Harris’s running mate, his family was not informed or provided with any security. He also said he had "thought about" joining forces with Trump and publicly endorsing his re-election bid. Not much is known about Tim Walz’s brother Jeff, except that he was born in Nebraska and currently lives in Florida. The brothers have two other siblings: a sister named Sandy who lives in Alliance, Nebraska, and a brother named Craig who died in a camping accident in 2016
On the other hand, the person who put Jeff Walz in the spotlight is quite a notorious figure. A far-right internet personality and activist from Florida, Laura Loomer is known for her inflammatory rhetoric. She has previously described herself as a “proud Islamophobe,” a label that has resulted in bans from major social media platforms, though her X account was reinstated after Elon Musk took control of the platform. Loomer has a history of making incendiary comments, from calling Muslims “savages” to describing Islam as a “cancer.” She has also promoted conspiracy theories about various mass shootings. Amid these controversies, Loomer has remained a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, who has publicly praised her as “terrific” and “very special.”
In April 2023, The New York Times reported that Trump considered giving Loomer a role in his campaign, though this did not materialize. Nevertheless, she continues to be an outspoken figure within far-right circles and has attacked Kamala Harris, questioning whether she is “Black or Indian” in a racially charged critique.
Damn this is some sad news here as Rapper Isaac Freeman III, aka Fatman Scoop, has died after the iconic musician collapsed onstage Friday night.

The Reminisce Festival, where Fatman Scoop was set to perform Sept. 7 also posted to Instagram saying, "It is with the deepest sorrow that we at Reminisce have received the devastating news of the tragic passing of the legendary Isaac Freeman III, known to us all as Fatman Scoop. This loss has left us all heartbroken."
TMZ broke the news that the legendary hip hop hype man was performing at Town Center Park in Hamden, CT when he appeared to suffer a medical emergency.

Controversial ultra progressive liberal Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino believes Kamala Harris could “f*** s*** up” if she gives in to pressure to hold a news conference or agrees to a sit-down interview during the race for the presidency. During the 90's I met Quentin while one night at the movies hanging out with one of my friends on my day off while I was walking into our movie just having bought some food items from the theater food court QT Passed by me and walked into the movie Curdled (1996) which had just come out to theaters.
He was the executive producer on that film and was at the AMC Mall of the Americas where I worked at the time to see it with a couple of his buddies from the Miami area who he was hanging out with we came to find out from him as we spoke for a bit. While I was shocked to see him and talk to him and since we had been there as an employees even our day off we were not allowed to go and ask any celebrity who might show up for any autographs as company policy.
So once our movie was done we waited outside and we got to the doors of the outside of the mall and sure enough within a few minutes he walks out with two of his friends and we got to say hello to him.
His friends went to get a car as he waited with no security mind you just him we spoke for a minute and he was very nice even signed a note pad I had which I lost all these years later. But overall he was a nice dude back then and while not very chatty he had a good sense of humor and was a bit nerdy for sure.
His political views have I'm sure evolved since then and I said he's super progressive these days and it's well interesting to hear him say outloud these facts about Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee who has been criticized for avoiding the media since being named as the Democratic Party’s new presidential candidate.
The director talked politics with Bill Maher during a recent episode of his “Club Random” podcast. And well this is how that went folks as the host pointed out that MAMALA Harris would never talk to him, to which Tarantino replied that there was “no reason” for the Democratic nominee to "appear on Maher’s show before the election." Maher shot back, saying he "represents the middle-ground voters who Harris should be targeting because the far-Left Democrats are already voting for her."
Tarantino said this isn’t a “normal election cycle” where “you have a year to set your case” he also said, “I think they’re just all about winning the f***ing election, all right, and the easiest path to winning the election. Look, you can talk about maybe she should have had more guts about this or that and the other but we’re the f***ing president. And Trump’s not the president, and we’re the f***ing president, and now it’s gonna be about this.”
“This is about f***ing winning,” Tarantino says again. “What most people don’t give the Democrats enough credit for, but we give the Republicans credit for, is like no, sometimes it’s just about f***ing winning. And it doesn’t matter how we look at this moment.”
“It’s a mad f***ing dash and she is running, and she’s not stopping to stumble. … I’m gonna vote for her f***ing anyway, no matter what she says in a stupid f***ng interview, so don’t f*** s*** up,” Tarantino added. The interview clip started circulating on X, with many users reposting and wondering why Harris’s supporters are so terrified of her going off script or taking questions, even from journalists on her side.
“Quentin Tarantino joins the list of Democrats saying Kamala shouldn’t take questions because it could hurt her chances of winning which raises the question, how incompetent or extreme do they think she is that answering questions could make her lose?” Outkick writer Ian Miller wondered. Well so do we.
But the bottom line is what he said is pure Communism... They want to keep power no matter what and will vote Blue no matter what even at the expense of our country and us suffering. He's loaded with cash so to him it doesn't matter it's always us poor people who suffer.
He knows it, Bill Maher knows it and so does every single leftist who reads this and everyone who votes in this idiotic manner. You are what's wrong with this world. The point of the MATRIX WAS The BLUE PILL Keeps you in the Matrix plantation. The Red wakes you up to the reality of life... Said that anyone would chose to stay blue pilled in the Matrix.
The name Sidney Raymond Eudy might not ring a bell to some but those who watched American professional wrestling in the 80's and 90's will never forget this man and to those who will know him by the in ring name which he's best known as I'm talking about the one and only "Sid Vicious", aka "Sycho Sid", "Sid Justice", his tenures in the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling we're iconic for multiple reasons. Him prime really was during the WWF now known as WWE when he was am A level star for sometime and even had matches with icons like Hulk Hogan.
SID was a six-time world champion, having won the WWF Championship twice, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice, and the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship twice. In addition to world title success, Eudy held the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship once, among other accolades. During his tenures with the WWF and WCW, Eudy headlined multiple pay-per-views for both organizations, main-eventing WrestleMania VIII and WrestleMania 13 in 1992 and 1997 respectively as well as Starrcade in 2000.
Also he entered wrestling after an encounter with Randy Macho Man Savage and his brother Lanny Poffo. After being trained by Tojo Yamamoto, SID made his debut as he teamed with Austin Idol and wrestled the team of Nick Bockwinkel and Jerry Lawler. He then adopted the masked wrestler persona known as Lord Humongous. He began his career in Continental Championship Wrestling (CCW) in 1987, under a mask and the name Lord Humungous. On Christmas Day 1987 he won the NWA Southeastern Heavyweight Championship (Northern Division), going on to be the final titleholder. Later he turned fan favorite after rekindling a (kayfabe) childhood friendship with Shane Douglas, resulting in the two forming a tag team and capturing the NWA Southeastern Tag Team Championship.
He also competed in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he challenged Tatsumi Fujinami for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship under the name Vicious Warrior, but was unable to win the title. SID then made a very brief stint in World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), where he adopted one of his most notable ring names: Sid Vicious, which he took from the punk rock musician of the same name who played bass for the Sex Pistols.
When he did return to WCW he came back as a challenger for Scott Steiner's WCW World Heavyweight Championship, but Sid failed to defeat Steiner in their title match at Starrcade. On January 14, 2001, at the Sin pay-per-view in Indianapolis at Conseco Fieldhouse (now Gainbridge Fieldhouse), Sid faced Steiner, Jeff Jarrett and Road Warrior Animal in a Four Corners match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. During the match, he suffered a near career-ending injury. WCW executive John Laurinaitis allegedly felt that SID needed to broaden his arsenal of wrestling moves and suggested that he try an aerial maneuver, despite his "unwillingness".
SID felt it unnecessary for a wrestler of his size and type to do high spots and did not feel comfortable doing them. During the match, Eudy suffered a leg fracture following his leap from the second turnbuckle in an attempted big boot on Steiner. This had him awkwardly landing with all his weight on one foot while kicking with the other, severely fracturing the leg on which he landed. SID broke his left leg in half, snapping both the tibia and fibula, with at least one of the bones breaking through the skin and rotating his foot without his input at 90 degrees anti-clockwise. The fracture was too graphic for many television stations to re-air, although it was shown on the following Nitro.
The injury put Sid out of action indefinitely, and he pondered retiring from wrestling for good: "I had about a year left on my contract, and I was thinking back then prior to hurting my leg what was I going to do as far as wrapping up my career. The only thing I really wanted to do was ideally go out in a big pay-per-view, like a WrestleMania or something like that main event, leave like that, and not come back again. It would really be the retirement match". A 17-inch (43 cm) rod was placed in his leg during the two-hour surgery. For a while, Eudy used a cane to walk. Sid later sued WCW, claiming that he was made to jump off the second rope against his objections.
The injury forced a plot change in the SuperBrawl Revenge event. The main event was supposed to be Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page, and Sid against Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, and Road Warrior Animal but was rewritten as Kevin Nash versus Scott Steiner...
I'd like to say he was a true legend and his time in the ring was one for the ages. Shame what happened to him with the leg injury but he will always be remembered. We extend our condolences to his family on the loss, and to fans of his world wide never forget the name SID VICIOUS!
OK So rumor has it that following a controversy filled campaign that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has ran and his poll numbers compared to Trump are reportedly planning to suspend their presidential bid. He is considering endorsing former President Donald Trump and reportedly hopeful that he might secure the position of Trump’s health secretary if he wins. Kennedy was an environmental lawyer known for his work cleaning up the Hudson River with a storied last name who in recent years has become known for spreading conspiracy theories about medicine, including vaccines and anti-depressants. He used the popularity he gained as an anti-vaxxer during the pandemic to briefly challenge President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary before announcing an independent bid for president in October 2023.
He had been seen as a potential spoiler for both candidates, given his connection to the Democratic Kennedy dynasty as well as his embrace of the anti-establishment and anti-vaccine views held by certain segments of the GOP. He was polling around 10 percent nationally for the better part of 2024, and even higher in some swing state polls. But he struggled to get on the ballot in many states, though his campaign maintains that he has secured enough signatures to do so in all but Kentucky, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. And after Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee, he seemed to hold less sway among voters who were turned off by Biden. His poll numbers consequently cratered to under 5 percent.
Despite Kennedy’s flagging national numbers, polling suggests his exit from the race could still help Trump, with whom he’s become decidedly more cozy in recent months. Trump wouldn’t have to win a lot of Kennedy’s potential voters to make a difference in key swing states; if the race is as close as it was in 2020, Trump gaining even a fraction of a percent from Kennedy could make the difference. Trump probably has the most to gain from Kennedy dropping out. Kennedy has increasingly endeared himself to Republican voters while struggling to get the same support among Democrats and independents. And polls conducted in recent months, including since Biden dropped out of the race, suggest that Trump would pick up more of Kennedy’s supporters.
Any margin would likely be small but potentially significant and his endorsement of the GOP leader Donald Trump could be the tide turning moment in this election. The Republicans tend to see Kennedy more favorably than Democrats, and those with favorable views toward him tend to have more favorable opinions of Trump than of Harris, according to a July AP-NORC poll conducted before Biden dropped out. Several national polls conducted since Harris became the presumptive nominee have also tested a race between Harris, Trump, and Kennedy, as well as a two-way race between Harris and Trump. Trump tends to get a bigger bump than Harris when Kennedy is excluded.
In an August Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered voters, for instance, Harris received 42 percent support, Trump 37 percent, and Kennedy 4 percent, while 15 percent supported another candidate, weren’t sure who they would support, or weren’t sure if they would vote at all. But when voters were pushed to select either Trump or Harris, 49 percent backed Harris and 47 percent Trump a 10 percentage point boost for Trump.
Trump had a similar edge with Kennedy voters in a July Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll. In a three-way contest, Harris earned 44 percent support, Trump 47 percent, and Kennedy 10 percent. In a head-to-head poll, Harris earned 48 percent and Trump 52 percent. It may seem like the advantage Trump gains when Kennedy is out of the picture is relatively small. But Biden won in 2020 by exceedingly narrow margins in six key battleground states; in Arizona, it was by less than 11,000 votes. On the margin, Kennedy’s supporters could make a difference, depending on where they’re distributed. In Arizona, for example, Kennedy is still polling at about 6 percent, according to The Hill’s polling average.
Of course, he might not actually win that large a vote share if he decides to stay in the race; third-party candidates tend to poll much better than they actually perform on Election Day, when their supporters are confronted with the reality that their preferred candidate won’t win. But that vote share would have been more than enough to have swung the 2020 results in the other direction.
The same is true in other swing states, where polling suggests a very tight race. An early August New York Times/Siena survey of registered voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin found Harris leading Trump 46 percent to 43 percent when respondents were given all third-party candidates to choose from. When asked to pick between just Harris and Trump, the gap tightened to 48 and 46 percent, respectively. Those states are likely to be key, given their high electoral college vote count and in most scenarios, Harris would need all three to win. Harris’s entry into the race likely limits the impact of Kennedy’s exit While RFK Jr.s supporters may still be able to make an important impact on the margins, their power to drag the Democratic nominee’s polling down seems to have diminished substantially.
Before Harris became the nominee, there was a much larger than usual number of disaffected voters who didn’t like either Biden or Trump and just wanted someone anyone as an alternative. A theoretical no-name candidate as an alternative to Biden and Trump got about 10 percent in Ipsos polling conducted earlier this year.
Kennedy provided an alternative for a while. But when Harris stepped into the POTUS 2024 picture, that undermined his appeal at least among Democrats. “There were some wavering Democratic voters who just thought Biden was too old, or they didn’t like him, and Harris is just a more appealing candidate for those kinds of people,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
Kondik said it’s possible that Biden may have ended up winning back those voters anyway if he had stayed in the race and had a typical post-Democratic National Convention bump. But at this point, Kondik said, he would not be surprised if the third-party vote share in the election ends up being about 2 percent of the electorate, as it was in 2012 and 2020.
Before Harris became the nominee, political analysts were projecting that it would be closer to the nearly 6 percent share third parties got in 2016, which some analysts argued doomed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. “For all the talk about third parties in this election, a combination of the most prominent third-party candidate dropping out, in addition to the increased favor-ability of the two major party nominees, means that there’s just going to be less of a market for third party candidates,” he said.
Kennedy could make more of an impact as a surrogate for Trump. He could help the former president with certain demographics, such as young men who listen to prominent personalities such as Joe Rogan, who has praised Kennedy. But the Trump campaign might also be wary of attaching itself to Kennedy’s brand: If the brain worm and the bear incident weren’t enough, he has been disavowed by members of his own famous family and now peddles conspiracy theories not just about the Covid-19 vaccine, but his father’s killer, 5G cell phone transmission, fraud in the 2004 election, and more. “The Democratic refrain against Trump and his running mate JD Vance is that they’re ‘weird,’” Kondik said. “Kennedy doesn’t make them less weird.” This from a person who supports boys bathrooms with Tampons, Abortions until 9 months, Drag Queen reading hour with Elementary kids...
Weird? Because they're loving husband, fathers, and want to make this country the best it can be. Weird because Trump, Vance, and RFK Jr love our country and want to help our Citizens and not illegal criminals.
Yeah we should be as weird as Trump, Vance, RFK Jr... We need more weird people like that and less brain dead morons like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barrack & Mike Obama, Bill & The She devil known as Hillary Clinton. Oh and rest of the liberal tards in Congress, Senate and voting class.
