MIAMI – Rapper Lil Wayne was charged Tuesday in Florida with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a federal offense that carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

Documents filed in Miami federal court say the rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., had a gun and ammunition on Dec. 23 of last year despite knowing he had the previous felony on his record.

Authorities said the 38-year-old rapper acknowledged owning the gold-plated handgun after his luggage was searched upon arriving in Miami on a private plane. A search warrant, first reported by the Miami Herald at the time, said Carter told investigators the gun was a Father’s Day gift.

Carter’s attorney, Howard Srebnick, said in an email that there are legal questions about whether mere possession of a weapon by a felon not judged to be dangerous fits the definition of a crime.

“Carter is charged with possessing a gold-plated handgun in his luggage on a private plane. There is no allegation that he ever fired it, brandished it, used it or threatened to use it,” Srebnick said. “There is no allegation that he is a dangerous person.”

And as much as I would love to see this case go all the way to SCOTUS and finally get rid of the prohibition for Non-Violent felons, I believe Lil Wayne will find himself realizing that when it comes to guns, the powers that be do not give a damn about justice but headlines.  I will foresee some sort of plea, maybe even a short vacation where he can compose more rap and make another couple of million bucks when he gets out.

A felon rapper that dared to say he liked Trump got caught with a gun? You are so gonna be punished for leaving the plantation! Even fellow rapper 50 cents is already making fun of his trouble and his “relation” with Trump.

No loyalty. Make a note of that.

Do it for the children!

Philadelphia, the nation’s sixth-largest city, is strongly urging residents to shelter at home and “prohibiting indoor gatherings of any size in any location, public or private,” health commissioner Thomas Farley said at a news conference on Monday.

“We need to keep this virus from jumping from one household to another,” Farley said. If “exponential” growth of cases continues, hospitals will soon become overwhelmed and more than 1,000 people could die in Philadelphia over the next six weeks before the end of the year, he said.

The new restrictions begin Friday and will remain the rest of the year…or at least till Inauguration.

I have to say it, when they speak about weaponizing a virus, you would never have thought it would have been like this.

The bastards are good.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – A man was hit by a train and killed after running from the scene of a domestic violence incident Tuesday morning in Miami Shores, police say.

According to Miami-Dade police, the 23-year-old man and his girlfriend were at a store on Biscayne Boulevard, near NE 90th Street, when he punched her. Multiple witnesses called 911, and officers arrived shortly after 6 a.m. to find injuries on the woman’s face.

Police say they tried to talk to the man, but he ran away and, not realizing a southbound train was coming, was struck.

The impact was so violent that it dismembered his body.

So who gets blamed for the death? The Chinese virus as default or do we pin it on the cops because, you know, if they did not chase him he might be alive.

“Mostly peaceful” protesters need the proper info to act upon it.

The conflict?

Erykah Badu is looking for clarity after getting back very bizarre COVID-19 test results.

On Friday the veteran songstress shared that she had tested positive for Coronavirus in her left nostril but negative in her right.

Taking her bewilderment to social media, she explained the situation to her fans – to the best of her knowledge, that is – before firing off a series of tweets as rapid as the test results.

Erykah Badu reveals she tested positive for COVID-19 in left nostril and negative on her right side: ‘What the fack is going on’

I understand why a lot of people feel that 2020 is the year we got swindled in every way possible. I have the feeling that once the political BS can be overridden by true science, we are gonna find out the monster sickness was really an easy to deal with  respiratory malady.

And don’t forget those who have spent all this time badmouthing and sabotaging cures because the wrong people endorsed them.  And do not forget how many could have been saved but died because of the political posturing for the elections.

Don’t rely on a negative test result to see your family for Thanksgiving

If you think a negative test result means you don’t have coronavirus, you could be wrong.

It can take days before a new infection shows up on a Covid-19 test.

“We know that the incubation period for Covid-19 is up to 14 days. And before that, you can be testing negative, and have no symptoms,” emergency medicine physician Dr. Leana Wen said.

Get tested.  But if the test is negative, don’t trust the test, it might be a false negative.

You should always be fearful and stay away from friends and family. You can never guarantee that you don’t have COVID because no matter when you get tested you could be 14 days shy of getting symptoms.

The thing is, this argument could be made in perpetuity.

They know that.

“Don’t trust a negative test result” is the sort of statement that could be used to justify COVID restrictions forever.

It probably will be.

The media has reported that Biden won the election, which means that it’s time to heal.

The evidence is overwhelming that what they really me is that it’s time to heel.

The Left has shown no desire for healing but instead has taken the Biden victory announcement as a mandate to double down on their efforts.

Time magazine published an article by Saadia McConville, which is a grotesquely racist screed.

Call Out Karen, But Don’t Forget About Kevin. They Chose Trump Twice.

We won’t have accurate data on the 2020 election for some time, but exit polling indicates Trump increased his support among some people of color and white women. For those of us who believe in decency, democracy and diversity, it is surely disheartening to see people vote against their best interests. But it’s hardly a new phenomenon in America, and by avoiding the main problem, fails to see the forest for the trees.

There is nothing like the condescending paternalism of the white Leftist, telling people that they (the people) are voting against their best interests.

A high school friend on Facebook posted a series of graphics a few days ago, showing the coloring of a 2016 electoral map if only certain genders and races voted. For people of color, it was all blue. For white women, it was mostly red with several blue states. For white men it was almost completely red. The accompanying post warned: “white folks (especially white women) this is why people of color don’t trust you.” (My friend is of Asian descent.) It’s not a controversial statement for many progressives and generally reasonable adults.

Her friend is a racist.  She’s a racist.  “Our race doesn’t trust your race” is never a good statement to make.  I’ve seen where that road goes and it ends in Rwanda.

But the glaring, primary, problem is being omitted in too many of these conversations – white men. Yes, white people as a whole need to do better.

Do better meaning vote Democrat.  This is part of a theme that we will see emerge where white people are assumed to be lesser – some sort of Untermensch – because of our voting habits.

But to only single out white women is the same problematic logic that blames people of color for increasing their support of Trump – that anyone non-white should not support a racist, and that a woman should not support a misogynist.

Maybe assuming people’s motivations for voting the way they did is bad?

But, you know who benefits the most from the patriarchy and white supremacy and also constitutes the bulk of Trump’s support? White men. Exit polls show 61 percent of them voted for Trump in 2020, a one-point decline from 62 percent in 2016

Why are they not expected to be held accountable to the same extent, or more, given their higher support, as their female counterparts? Are we not capable of holding two groups accountable at the same time, while also being clear about which is the primary offender?

“Offender” is the operative word.  Voting for a Republican is now an offense, one for which you must be called out and presumably punished.

This is no longer a representative democracy where people are free to choose their representation.  This is a system in which failure to support the Democrat is an actionable thoughtcrime.

If we truly want a world that is anti-racist and free from patriarchal oppression we should be clear about the main problem: white men.

You are a problem.  By your very existence you are a problem.

By not holding the majority of white men accountable, we are essentially writing them off, saying they aren’t capable of developing empathy or evolving as human beings. This is not beneficial to them, and it certainly does not get us closer to a more equitable and just society. This moment we find ourselves in, where too much of the population co-signed on the racism and misogyny of an authoritarian, demands we treat the problem and not the symptom.

You are sub-human, lacking empathy.  That is why you vote Republican.  You must be held accountable for your sub-human behavior.  Getting rid of Trump wasn’t enough, society must deal with you being a problem.

Reading this makes me wonder if she has a final solution for this problem of voting white men?

This is why the Democrats public calls for healing ring so hollow, this is how they feel on the inside.

Why does the Left attract so many criminals? Not just criminals but sexual predators including child rapists?

I guess they need enforcers with no morality that may stop them from hurting other people. If you can rape a kid, busting an adult from behind is not an issue.
