“Love is as strong as death, jealously as cruel as the grave.”
Early Monday morning, on July 06, 2020, Montgomery Alabama police Detective Tanisha Pughsley, 27, was brutally attacked and killed by her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Brandon Deshawn Webster. Pughsley was shot and killed in her home. After several failed attempts at breaking up with Webster and a brief history of domestic abuse perpetrated by Webster — On May 28, Tanisha Pughsley filed a restraining order against him.
In the request for a restraining order against an abuser: Pughsley alleged that Webster assaulted her in her home while she was holding her “5-month-old Godchild.” The attack caused her to drop the baby. The Court Protection order was set to expire on December 19, 2020.
Accused Cop Killer Brandon Deshawn Webster
After the murder, the United States MarshalsTask Force took Webster into custody. At which time, he was charged Webster with Attempted Murder, Capital Murder during a Burglary, and Capital Murder in violation of a court-issued Protection Order. There was another man in the residence at the time of the killing. Police are holding Webster at the Montgomery County Detention Facility. If Webster can come up with $15,000, the court will release that monster to walk among society.
Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed said in a prepared statement: “Our entire community today mourns the death of one of our own, Tanisha Pughsley. Detective Pughsley answered the call to serve, defend and protect our city,” Montgomery Mayor Steve Reed said in a statement. “We stand today with her family, friends, colleagues, and all who love her, praying for comfort, peace, and healing during this tragic time.”
Somewhere a village is missing its idiot, but voters/villagers take a closer look, they can find their idiot running down the street going towards the White House. Look, it’s a cuckoo bird, it’s a fly, it’s a bedbug — no, it’s Kanye West seeking publicity and attempting to siphon off votes from Joe Biden to help his so-called friend Donald Trump win the Presidency.
Go, Horsey, Go, Horsey, Go, Horsey, GO!
President Barack Obama once called Kanye West “a jackass.” Before and since then, the wildman of Rap Music has been showing himself to be just that, a jackass. He’s proved himself to be a clown without reins or a bridle. It appears as if the only thing Kanye, the horse, has on his back is a saddle so that Donald Trump can ride him around town on television like a ringmaster of a circus rides his favorite horse around.
The Second Coming of a Jackass
West, the top Grammy-winning Rapper, with 21 wins under his belt — over the past few years, has become more and more spooked out and divorced from reality. His latest foray and money-making adventure scheme is a dive into Christianity. West’s religious program is reminiscent of Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, better known as Reverend Ike. Reverend Ike was a snake oil salesman who believed in taking money from the poor and giving it to himself.
As silly as West is, he knows his chances of being nominated to the top of the ticket of any political party, let alone winning the presidency stands at zero, zero, zero. Aside from a few of Kanye’s ardent fans, no one in their right mind takes him seriously or would vote for him to be anything in government other than a dog catcher.
Who is behind this scheme? Kanye alone or is there help from Trump?
The bottom line is, Kanye still possess enough sense to know that he won’t win the presidency, so aside from his grab for publicity, his only other “reason” for talking crazy would be to siphon off votes from Biden and in a tight presidential race — every vote matters.
Order of the day: Social distancing within the U.S.
With limited international travel options, many Americans are exploring domestic destinations this summer. Not all states, however, are welcoming visitors with open arms, especially for would-be travelers from states like Florida and Texas with recent spikes in COVID-19 cases.
New York, once the epicenter for coronavirus cases, has partnered with Connecticut and New Jersey to create regulations designed to prevent new community spread in the Tri-State area. Residents and visitors entering these states are subject to a 14-day quarantine if they are coming from a State with an average of 10 percent or higher positivity rate over the previous seven days. As of June 30, arrivals from 16 States would require quarantining: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
A trip across state line can be refreshing
Rhode Island has similar requirements but sets the bar for quarantine requirements at a 5 percent positivity rate. To bypass this quarantine requirement, those entering Rhode Island can provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before arrival.
Florida, Kansas, and Oklahoma also have state-specific quarantine requirements based on a traveler’s point of departure. In contrast, travelers headed to Maine and Massachusetts are exempt from the quarantine requirements if they depart from individual Northeastern states.
Other states such as South Carolina, New Hampshire, and West Virginia are taking a different approach by merely recommending but not mandating any type of quarantine for visitors or residents.
North Dakota has specifically aimed at those entering the state after international travel by requiring them to self-quarantine and monitor their symptoms for 14 days. Nebraska and Virginia, on the other hand, are recommending but not requiring quarantine for international travelers. Illinois requires a two-week quarantine for international travelers, explicitly coming from China, Iran, Italy, and South Korea.
State travel restrictions often change as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves across the country. Travelers are encouraged to check testing and quarantining requirements before making any vacation plans.

After hiding out for months — from the public — former Vice President “Sleepy” Joe Biden briefly appeared in public, saw his shadow and ran for his den again. Is it going to be a long winter? Democratic strategists have chosen a road to the White House that is less traveled or not traveled at all for politicians. The strategy is less than is best. The less seen, the less spoken is best. So, in essence, the American people are to accept a pig in a poke.
The former VP may not have been born with a golden spoon in his mouth, but of late every time Biden opens his mouth, he comes across as someone with a silver foot in his mouth. A hard stare must be given to whomever he picks for his running mate. So far, his shortlist is a lineup of mostly toxic politicians. Biden is under tremendous pressure, from the extreme left, to pick a female African American or a woman of color as his running mate. Will he succumb to the pressure from the party’s extremists? On March 15 Biden announced that his pick for the vice presidency will be a woman.
I can see you. Do you see me?
Misandry at work: Qualified men need not apply.
The list of potential picks include toxicities such a Stacy Abrams (failed gubernatorial candidate) of Georgia. Toxic Senator Kamala Harris, former Prosecutor of California. Sen Amy Klobuchar (a big-time loser) from Minnesota, Klobuchar, is exceptionally sneaky. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. There is a group of Black progressives that believe Elizabeth Warren would be a good pick. Warren is a Democrat who leans so far-left she’s on the verge of classifying as a communist. Also on the list is Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic party would need a complete liver flush to survive if she’s selected as Biden’s running mate.
Less toxic are Val Demings, a former Sheriff of Jacksonville, FL. Demmings isn’t up to par to become President at a moment’s notice. Sen.Tammy Duckworth retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel. Duckworth is fair-minded, intelligent, and she is fit to step into the presidency at a moment’s notice. Duckworth was born in Bangkok, Thailand. Non-toxic and fully qualified candidate Rep. Karen Bass (D)Los Angeles. Honorable mentions are Maggie Hassan, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Obama’s toxic and frivolous left-over Susan Rice.
RepublicanCondi Rice qualified to lead from day one.
At this time, the only Rice Biden needs on his table would be Condoleezza “Condi” Rice. Rice was President George W. Bush‘s National Security Advisor from 2001 to 2005. She also served as United States Secretary of State from 2005 to 2009. She is brilliant, capable, and non-toxic. She is ready to be President at the drop of a hat.
A skewed poll/survey conducted by the Pew Research shows Biden leading the President 54% to 44% among 3577 registered voters nationally. The survey was conducted between June 16th to the 22nd. Polls that are carried out in swing states are usually not reliable in a time of turmoil and when the opponent is a ghost without a voice or platform — as is Biden.
Is sleepy Joe hanging upside-down in a basement/dungeon waiting for the darkness to fall before he comes flying out of his Dungeon? That isn’t great news, as most scientists now agree that the COVID-19 pandemic originated with strange bats that live in caves.
At this juncture, no one truly knows what Biden stands for, aside from the fact that he opposes President Trump, and he’s a parttime liberal and fulltime opportunist.

AAA has released its latest predictions for summer travel, forecasting that Americans will take 700 million trips between July 1 and Sept. 30, 2020. This data represents a nearly 15 percent drop compared to 2019 and is the first decline in summer travel since 2009.
However, not all forms of travel are taking the same hit. Air travel will see a decline of nearly 74 percent while rail, cruise, and other types of travel are predicted to drop by about 86 percent. On the other hand, automobile travel will decrease by only 3.3 percent. Road trips will be the most popular form of travel this summer, expected to represent 97 percent of all trips.
There’s Pleasure In The Night Skyline
If you’re one of the millions of Americans planning to explore the open road this summer, here are a few safety tips to keep in mind.
Plan your route ahead of time.
2020 is not the year for spontaneous travel. With some states still implementing restrictions on in-person toll collections and limited rest area food sales, it’s essential to plan, so you won’t be caught unprepared.
Pack lots of snacks and sanitizer.
It almost goes without saying, but packing hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes and sprays, plus face masks and gloves is crucial for a safe road tripping experience. Health experts also recommend packing a resealable plastic bag to discard used gloves until you can safely throw them away.
If possible, pack your own snacks, drinks, and even meals to avoid entering rest stops as much as possible. This reduces your exposure to other people.
Take extra precautions at rest stops.
If you must stop at a rest area, be sure to wear a face mask, use gloves when handling gas station pumps, and opt for curbside pick up or outdoor dining when possible. Also, touchless payment options are encouraged.
Watch your speed.
With highways emptier than usual, Business Insider reported that more American drivers are speeding and participating in other reckless behaviors on the road. Stay alert and pay extra attention to your surroundings, including posted speed limits.

In early March, the coronavirus pandemic forced Walt Disney World Resort to unexpectedly close its gates for the eighth time in its nearly 50-year history. Now, the “Happiest Place on Earth” is preparing to welcome guests this July with new systems in place to keep park-goers safe.
Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park will begin a phased reopening on July 11 with Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopening on July 15. Disney Vacation Club properties at Walt Disney World and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will begin to reopen on June 22, while Disney Springs has already begun its phased reopening.
Minnie, Mickey And Tweety Bird Deliver Happiness
To follow CDC guidelines, Disney World is limiting certain activities and events that draw in large crowds or a high concentration of people indoors. Dining reservations, behind-the-scenes tours, dining packages, and FastPass+ selections are among the canceled services. Shows, parades, and fireworks may also be limited or remain entirely closed.
The biggest change guests can expect to see is the implementation of a new reservation system designed to limit the number of people in the park at any given time. To enter any park, guests will need both a regular admissions ticket and a reservation for the same date.
If you haven’t booked your tickets yet, you may have to wait a while as new ticket sales are temporarily on hold. Existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders will be able to make reservation requests in phases before new tickets are sold. New reservations at Disney Resort hotels are also temporarily on hold, although Disney Vacation Club Members can still make new reservations.
To limit shared contact between guests and Disney employees, visitors are highly encouraged to download the My Disney Experience application. Highlights of the app include mobile order service for dining, scannable codes for select restaurant menus, and online check-in at Disney Resort hotels.
Other notable changes include possible temperature screenings upon arrival at Disney Springs or the Walt Disney World theme parks, as well as a mandatory mask policy throughout the entire Disney complex. According to the official Disney World website, all guests above the age of two will require to wear a face-covering that fits the following criteria:
• Fully cover an individual’s nose and mouth and allow the Guest to remain hands-free
• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
• Be secured with ties or ear loops
• Be made of breathable material, either disposable or reusable

In what has been billed as a long-awaited campaign speech by President Trump, thousands of the President’s supporters packed into the BOK arena in Tulsa Oklahoma to listen to a message of hope and grace delivered by President Donald Trump. For many months, because of the COVID-19 crisis and concern for his supporters, The President has shied away from inviting large crowds into confined facilities.
Listening to calls from his supporters — calls for encouragement in a time of considerable uncertainty caused by rioters, looters, and Anarchists rummaging through several American cities run and controlled by liberal Mayors and Governors. On Saturday, President Trump marched into Tulsa OK BOK Arena like a brave soldier to the rescue on a brilliant white horse.
Thousands packed BOK to listen to the President’s ground-breaking speech.
Thousands of people packed into the arena, some wearing face masks while others did not wear any masks. Trump delivered a message of a stable US economy that recently has suffered a setback due to a manufactured crisis. Some people in the crowd did not cover their faces just to piss off the Main Stream Media, who they know would try to make a mockery of the President’s appearance and the significant and long-awaited rally.
As concertgoers attempted to enter the venue, hundreds of agitators tried to block them from entering the BOK facilities.
The President’s speech was well-received, and it was punctuated by chants of MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and “lock her up” by an enthusiastic audience.

Cops across the United States are calling out sick from duty as the pressure for accountability from more and more Americans grow and calls for police officers to adhere to the US Constitution and not wantonly and unjustly kill We The People at will.
Atlanta’s Police mass protest started in Atlanta, Georgia, in response to charges filed against and the arrest of two Atlanta cops who were involved in the killing of an intoxicated man (27-year-old Rashard Brooks) found sleeping in his car at a Wendy’s’ Drive-thru. Officer #1 Devin Brosnan was the first officer to make contact with Brooks on location.
The Blue-Flu’s Pandemic On Display
Officer #2, Garrett Rolfe, was the second officer to contact Brooks — he was called in as a backup officer to administer a DAT to Brooks. Minutes after contacting Brooks, a sinister Rolfe would shoot Brooks in his back, killing him on the spot. Brooks was running away from Rolfe after he stole his taser and fired it at him.
Five days after the killing of Mr. Brooks, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard charged ex-cop Garrett Rolfe with 11 charges including, felony murder. Police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) are calling the move made by Howard — political. Howard is in a tight race for reelection on August 11. Fanni Willis (no relations to Mayor Bottoms) is challenging Howard for the District Attorney seat he’s held for the past 23 years.
To Kill Your Employers With Impunity
The New York Post is reporting that Police in New York City may be trying to go on an official strike on July 4, US Independence Day. It said flyers and a text message circulating among officers are encouraging them to call in sick or to abuse the 911 Emergency system by requesting an ambulance to take them home from work if they do show up.
“Stop treating us like animals and thugs and start treating us with some respect,” New York Police Benevolent Association Mike O’Meara said in a June 9 press conference. “Our legislators abandoned us. The press is vilifying us.”
Buffalo, NY – Buffalo Police Commissioner McCarthy Gipson says he may be forced to prepare a contingency plan to counter a possible job action by city police officers. Gipson tells WBFO News that he’s hearing that the police union may stage a “sick out”
Fifty-seven Buffalo city cops resigned the Special Unit Forces in response to two of their squad members charged with assaulting a 75-year-old man on June 5th who defied their commands to clear the street.
ManyAtlanta Police cast aside their oath — could the Blue-Flubecome a pandemic?
On Wednesday and Thursday evening, a host of Atlanta cops staged illegal strike (sick out) to show their support for the killing of a troubled young man (Rayshard Brooks) struggling to get his life back on track. The mass police protest came on the heels of Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard’s announcement of criminal charges filed against ex-cop Garrett Rolfe and his partner in crime, former APD officer Devin Brosnan.
A police culture that once was accustom to getting away with the murder of mostly African-Americans and Latinos has now come under considerable floodlight. The streets are watching; Americans are closely watching the actions that cops take when they interact with the community.
Attorney plans to traffic in more hate while getting rich from Go Fund Me Money.
The human side of Rayshard Brooks is revealed in a video shot by Reconnect an organization that helps tell the story of convicted felons who are trying to get back in society and do the right thing.
Howard said following the shooting, the officers failed to give Brooks any medical attention for two minutes and 12 seconds.
“During that two minutes and 12 seconds, Officer Rolfe kicked Mr. Brooks as he laid on the ground, while he was there fighting for his life,” Howard said. “Officer Brosnan stood on Mr. Brooks’s shoulder.”
Keisha Lance Bottoms operating out of her league.
A petrified Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms offered to pay striking police officers a $500 dollars bonus to return to work or not to book off “sick.”
Meanwhile, New York City police union is riled up its employees and is pleading with cops to stage a “sick-out” on July 4th Holiday to protest calls for sweeping reforms in racist police tactics and the unwarranted slaughter of black people and continued “Juneteenth-style” behaviors.
As Americans slowly show an increased eagerness to hit the skies again, several airlines are rolling out new booking policies and safety measures to ease the concerns of many would-be travelers.
Following recommendations from the CDC, most major U.S. airlines are requiring passengers and customer-facing employees to wear face masks or some other form of coverage while onboard.
Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue are also considering social distancing recommendations by blocking middle seats on all flights to prevent passengers from sitting directly next to a stranger. On smaller aircraft, some aisle seats may also be eliminated.
JetBlue announced they would keep these measures through the July 4 holiday. This is in addition to other precautions the airline has taken, such as temperature checks for pilots and inflight crew members, as well as touch-free check-in and boarding experiences.
Delta recently announced that it would extend its limited seating policy through Sept. 30, 2020, to cover all summer travel. In addition to blocking middle seats, this initiative includes seating caps between 50 and 75 percent in each cabin to reduce the total number of passengers on board any given flight.
Green Fields And Blue Skies
American Airlines is taking a different approach by increasing flexibility in bookings and seat assignments. The company has extended its offer to waive change fees for customers who purchase tickets by June 30, 2020, for travel through Sept. 30, 2020. To help with social distancing, American Airlines will continue to limit the number of customers on each aircraft. Once boarding is complete, guests will be allowed to move within their ticketed cabin to create more space between passengers. If a flight is particularly full, American Airlines will notify customers and offer an alternative flight time free of charge.
United is also among the airlines that have decided not to block middle seats on its aircraft. Instead, the company launched the United CleanPlus initiative with safety measures such as administering temperature checks to all employees and providing passengers with an “all in one” economy snack bag that replaces the complimentary beverage and snack choice on longer domestic flights.
Travelers are encouraged to check with their airline’s specific policies before booking any flights this summer as policies, especially in regards to changes and cancellations, are continuously updated
