GOPals Amber Rose And Candace Owens Trauma Bond Over Political Rejection

Looks like a match made in heaven.

Newly conservative advocate Amber Rose sat down with YouTube star Candace Owens to discuss being “stripped of their Black identity” just for being Black and conservative. 

As a guest of The Candace Podcast, Rose explained how she felt “getting beat up by the left” while not feeling as welcomed in the GOP world. She discussed her quest for conservative acceptance.

“It wakes me up at night, Candace because I have tortured myself for 15 years with this stuff. And I’ve begged, and I’ve cried, and I’ve pleaded, please, reach for the stars … maybe talk to more conservative brands. See if they will give me a chance,” the OnlyFans star said. “They wouldn’t give me a chance because they just don’t know me, and I get it.”

Owens described her guest’s journey as “political purgatory.”

“She is going through this metamorphosis, and it’s painful to come out of that cocoon, especially; I would imagine it’s ten times worse for you because your cocoon is Hollywood, and there is no room,” Owens said. “Mine was hard enough just being Black and being like, ‘Hey, I’m a conservative.’”

Rose interjected: “Oh, I’m no longer Black.”

Owens agreed, saying, “They will take that away.” 

The ex-wife of rapper Wiz Khalifa shocked the world after posting a picture on Instagram with former President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, at a fundraiser. Using the caption “Trump 2024,” her new ideology granted her a ticket to speak at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. 

“These are my people. This is where I belong,” she said in her speech. The lines were met with thunderous applause. 

As the clip of Owens and Rose’s conversation made it to social media, Rose was immediately attacked for her thoughts, in particular, her comments on not being Black. One user reposted a clip of her saying she identifies as a Black woman during an interview. “Amber Rose, I’m not Black,” @DarkSideAdvcate wrote. “Why flip da script now?”

Another user said that just because your skin is a specific color doesn’t mean they “are your people.”

“Well, you can’t take someone’s identity from them. They identify as whatever they identify as, but I am quick to remind people that just bc they share your skin complexion, doesn’t make them your people,” @NathanielleBuc1 said. “That’s the category they fit, IMO.” 

Another X user claimed Owens and Rose are struggling financially, hence the switch up from Rose. “Stop posting trash….you can smell the financial desperation between the two of them,” @jayjamiejay1wrote.

Team USA Wins First Basketball Game With LeBron James Issuing Picture-Perfect Dunk

'LeBron puts his imprint on the game in so many different ways,' said Team USA head coach Steve Kerr.

To cap off the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team’s first victory against Serbia, arguably one of the greatest basketball players in the world, LeBron James, gave the world an iconic photo.

This was James’ first Olympics since 2012, but he was certainly not the only great player on the court. Yes, the U.S. team is stacked, but Serbia was led by Nikola Jokic, “The Joker.” The skilled Denver Nuggets big man was the National Basketball Association’s Most Valuable Player last year and won an NBA title in 2023.

Team USA easily won, 110-84, but one particular play in the game provided a photograph that went viral. James, 39, threw down a dunk, and the camera that caught LeBron seemingly floating at the rim.

Team USA took the opportunity to post the photo, automatically giving it icon status.

Although the future Hall of Famer is getting older, you can’t tell by the way he is playing. Although teammate Kevin Durant led the United States with 23 points, LeBron was right behind him with 21. He also pulled down eight rebounds and gave out nine assists. 

Team USA head coach, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, was impressed with “King James.” 

“LeBron puts his imprint on the game in so many different ways. It’s not just his skill, his strength, his size, but it’s his emotion, his confidence. Just the way he infuses our team with energy and confidence at 39 (years old) is just amazing,” Kerr said after the victory.

The next game is Wednesday against South Sudan. The Americans played the team previously and squeaked out a one-point victory.

Feds Window To Prosecute Brett Favre For TANF Scandal Swiftly Closing

Although Favre has been connected to approximately $8 million in stolen or misappropriated funds, he has remained without any charges related to his alleged participation in the scheme.

The window for the federal government to charge Brett Favre in connection with a 2019 meeting in his home is quickly closing. At present, Favre remains the sole member of the meeting who has not been charged in connection to a sprawling welfare scandal in Mississippi.

According to Front Office Sports, Favre allegedly hosted a sales presentation in January of that year to discuss Prevacus, a drug company founded by Jake VanLandingham. Prevacus, by the end of 2019, would be the recipient of over $2 million in federal welfare funds, eventually leading to VanLandingham’s indictment on July 24. 

That scheme is at the center of over $90 million in misappropriated funds intended for the government’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which aids some of the poorest families in Mississippi, one of the poorest states in America.

Matt Tympanick, a criminal defense attorney who has followed the case closely, told Front Office Sports that the feds seemed to be taking their time prosecuting the ex-Packers quarterback. 

“The feds are really taking this one down to the wire,” he said. 

However, Jeffery M. Chemerinsky, a former federal prosecutor, has a different take. As he told the outlet, part of the reason for the delay is the complexity involved in building the case against Favre. 

“White-collar cases…can involve complex issues of proving intent,” Chemerinsky told Front Office Sports. “As part of the investigation, there could be an extensive grand jury investigation. They could have developed some co-operators since the co-defendants entered into plea agreements. It could be that they’ve just very methodically put together a case knowing that they really weren’t under pressure.”

Chemerinsky also detailed one potential strategy that the prosecution could pursue. 

“You can probably include acts outside the five years in order to tell a coherent story,” Chemerinsky said. “The key is that you need the last overt act within the conspiracy to have occurred within the five-year statute of limitations.”

In addition to VanLandingham, Nancy New, her son, Zach; John Davis; and Ted DiBiase Jr., the son of wrestling’s Teddy “The Million Dollar Man” DiBiase Sr., all faced charges in April 2023 based on allegations that they all received significant sums of money redirected from TANF funding sources. Everyone except for DiBiase either accepted a plea deal or is expected to take a plea deal to cooperate with the probe. DiBiase’s trial is scheduled to begin in January 2025.

Although Favre has been connected to approximately $8 million in stolen or misappropriated funds, he has remained without any charges related to his participation in the scheme. Text messages (and the Mississippi Department of Health Services lawsuit) indicate that Brett Favre allegedly had an understanding that the money he was receiving might not have been legitimate.

According to the lawsuit, “Favre understood that the TANF Funds that MCEC paid to the Foundation were “grant funds” paid on his behalf. Favre knew that John Davis was providing grant funds from MDHS to MCEC for construction of the volleyball facility, and he knew that MDHS is Mississippi’s “welfare agency.” Favre discussed the source of the funding—MDHS—with Jon Gilbert. And Favre texted Jake VanLandingham regarding Nancy New: “She has strong connections and gave me 5 million for Vball facility via grant money.”   

The lawsuit continued, “Zachary New, a current member of the Board of Directors of the Foundation, has pleaded guilty to defrauding MDHS with respect to payments made under the USM Athletic Foundation Sublease. Through its directors and agents, including Brett Favre, Nancy New, and Jon Gilbert, the Foundation understood that the source of the funding was federal TANF grant funds paid to MDHS.”

‘Real Husbands Of Hollywood’ Actress Erica Ash, 46, Dies After Cancer Battle

Ash was considered the standout of BET's "Real Husbands of Hollywood."

Actress Erica Ash died July 28 in Los Angeles following a battle with cancer. The Real Husbands of Hollywood standout was 46 years old.

Her publicist, Elizabeth Much, confirmed the news to the Hollywood Reporter.

“Erica was an amazing woman and talented entertainer who touched countless lives with her sharp wit, humor, and genuine zest for life,” Ash’s family said in a statement. “Her memory will live eternally in our hearts.”

Born to military parents in 1977, Atlanta was raised in Atlanta and graduated from Emory University on a pre-med track. However, a vacation to Japan awakened her inner artist, leading to her career in acting.

Known for her comedic chops, Ash got her start on sketch programs such as MadTV and Logo’s The Big Gay Sketch Show. She went on to appear in multiple movies, such as Scary Movie V and Uncle Drew.

More notably, she took on the role of Mary Charles “M-Chuck” Calloway on Survivor’s Remorse. She starred in all four seasons from 2014 to 2017. In 2016, she acted opposite Kevin Hart as his fictional wife in BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood, garnering praise for her role in the reality spoof.

However, a cancer diagnosis shortened her promising career. Her friend and colleague, Loni Love, expressed her condolences. Ash once appeared as a guest host on Love’s talk show, The Real.

“I am sad to confirm my friend and fellow actress Erica Ash has passed,” wrote the comedian. “Erica was talented and hilarious. Whether it was the show Survivor’s Remorse or Mad TV, she would put her all into her work. She would always just be there…Now she’s gone…My sincere condolences to her family and fans.”

The family has asked for donations to be made to the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation or the National Breast Cancer Foundation in honor of Ash.

As for her legacy, Ash told the Los Angeles Times in a 2017 interview that she lives her life like she’s writing a book. “When I’m in some old folks home, and nobody feels like visiting me, I’m going to have the stories of my life to entertain me. I want to make choices based on what I want to read about myself when I’m older. For me, it’s just about growing and moving forward.”

BREAKING: NABJ Co-Chair Chucks The Deuces After Donald Trump Accepts Invitation To Attend Convention

The announcement drew immediate backlash given Trump's history of insulting Black reporters.

*UPDATE*

Less than 24 hours after former President Donald Trump’s NABJ attendance in Chicago was confirmed. The organization’s co-chair, Karen Attiah, stepped down. Attiah’s exit isn’t surprising as many Black journalists have side-eyed the NABJ for its daft decision to bring the convicted felon to the table for a moderated conversation at the conference.

Attiah, 37, and a columnist for the Washington Post, posted her decision on the X app.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to attend the National Association of Black Journalists Convention, to much dismay. The event will take place in Chicago starting July 31.

Trump’s campaign revealed the news on July 29. He will engage in a Q&A session with three Black women journalists on the convention’s opening day.

In line with the NABJ’s mission, the questions will focus on the issues important to the Black community. The event will be moderated by ABC News’ senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott, The Faulkner Focus’s Harris Faulkner, and Kadia Goba at Semafor.

The announcement drew immediate backlash, with critical journalists calling the invitation irresponsible and “extremely disappointing.” Ashley Nicole Moss, an analyst at CBS Sports, argued that Trump’s attendance undermines the convention’s purpose of uplifting Black journalists.

“Extremely disappointing from [NABJ],” wrote Moss. “This is supposed [to] be a safe place for Black journalists to connect/network. It’s a space to uplift current and upcoming journalists. To remind each other that we belong. He has absolutely ZERO business being in a room like that/this.”

The former president does have a history of demeaning Black female reporters. In 2018, he told CNN’s Abby Phillip that she “asks a lot of stupid questions.” However, his response stemmed from her inquiry about then-acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker “rein[ing] in special counsel Robert Mueller. That same year, he referred to White House Correspondent April Ryan as a “loser,” as reported by Politico.

Trump’s pattern of insulting the press, particularly African Americans and other minorities, did not disappear from journalists’ minds either. Dave Jordan, a former journalist who works in publicity, criticized the NABJ for including him despite his attacks.

“Why on earth would @NABJ engage with a man who repeatedly vilifies and debases the free press? This is beyond comprehension. SMH,” expressed Jordan.

Although he won the NABJ’s Journalist of the Year in 2023, Jim Trotter called the conversation a “poor decision.”

Furthermore, X user and filmmaker Morgan Elise Johnson also noted how none of the moderators represent Black media platforms.

NABJ’s President, Ken Lemon, emphasized that the organization is nonpartisan to X. Moreover, he referred to the opportunity to “ask the tough questions” on behalf of the Black community.

“We look forward to our attendees hearing from former President Trump on the critical issues our members and their audiences care about most,” said Lemon. “While NABJ does not endorse political candidates as a journalism organization, we understand the serious work of our members, and welcome the opportunity for them to ask the tough questions that will provide the truthful answers Black Americans want and need to know.”

Sports writer Jemele Hill also urged journalists to be willing to “tackle” Trump, given his status as a presidential hopeful.

“As journalists, we can never be afraid to tackle someone like Trump,” stated Hill. “The reality is that he is running for president and needs to be treated as such. Being questioned by journalists is part of the job and especially important in the company of Black journalists. Mainstream media keeps trying to convince us that he actually is gaining support among Black people. Let’s see if it’s true.”

ABC7 reported that Vice President and assumed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris also received an invitation. However, she has not confirmed her appearance to the public. It is customary for the NABJ to invite presidential candidates.

While only registered attendees can see Trump’s session in person, viewers can live-stream the event on NABJ’s YouTube and Facebook pages.

Keffe D’s Son Claims His Dad’s Life Is In Jeopardy After Prosecutors Misrepresented Jail Call

Duane Davis Jr. claims he warned his father that there is a 'green light' on killing him, not witnesses.

As Duane “Keffe D” Davis faces a murder trial later this year, his son claims his father’s life is in danger after prosecutors misrepresented an audio jail in which Keffe D allegedly threatened witnesses who may testify against him.

According to The U.S. Sun, Duane Davis Jr., 31, said there is a kill order from the Los Angeles sector of the Bloods gang against his father. The younger Davis said he was informed about the hit by a friend in the gang.

Clark County District Attorneys told a judge there was a possibility that a witness was in danger after hearing Keffe D state in a conversation with his son that there was a “green light” on that witness.

“It was a hit on our side,” Davis Jr. said. “My dad was like, ‘huh?’ A guy who is a Blood from Compton who I know told me it was a green light on my family.”

“If you go back to the call. I told my dad it was a green light on us. I told my dad to ‘Watch your back whether in jail or wherever’. We are talking about a green light on us. Listen to the tape. I am not a gang member. I promise you that. They don’t give a f**k about our safety. Why am I not in jail if I put a green light on somebody?”

Davis Jr. also said that the Bloods never had any issues with his father. But since he was arrested, they feel he had something to do with Tupac’s murder. He insists that his father was more known for “selling dope.”

Keffe D has been at a Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas since police officers arrested him last September. The former gang member has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder for being involved in the killing of Tupac. The popular rapper was shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, after attending a Mike Tyson fight. He died six days later.

California Man Convicted Of Murder After Killing Girlfriend And Leaving Her 4 Children To Die

Mandiko Kwadzo faces 53 years to life in prison after killing Carliena Clayton and standing by as her four children almost drowned in a car

A California jury convicted a man who killed his girlfriend and stood by as the children he had with her almost drowned as he did not attempt to save the children at the scene.

According to a press release from the Sacramento District Attorney’s Office, 31-year-old Mandiko Kwadzo was found guilty by a jury of first-degree murder on July 24. They also convicted him of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was convicted after being accused of killing his girlfriend, Carliena Clayton. Kwadzo faces a maximum sentence of 53 years to life in prison when he is sentenced. That is scheduled to take place on Sept. 6, 2024.

The killing happened nearly four years ago, on July 27, 2020. Police officers from West Sacramento were called to a residence after reports of gunfire inside the residence. Eyewitnesses stated that the couple was arguing in the driveway as Clayton put her four children in a car; Kwadzo got into the vehicle’s passenger seat. Police officers arrived at the residence and realized that a shooting had taken place inside.

Meanwhile, a man was at Cliff’s Marina when he heard a gunshot and then a car crashing into the Sacramento River. After calling a friend, the two went to the crash scene and saw the vehicle the couple traveled in in the river. They noticed Kwadzo standing near the car but not doing anything to help the victim or the children who were discovered in the car. They saw Clayton in the driver’s seat, unresponsive, and the four children in the backseat.

The oldest child, 6, had unfastened his seat belt, but the youngest, who was 2, was still in the car seat. The two men were able to rescue the children.

Police officers arrived at the scene and found Clayton, who didn’t have a pulse and was bleeding from her head. Initially, the officers suspected the car was in an accident, but the oldest child explained to them that Kwadzo shot Clayton. The officers then took him into custody.

The weapon was never found, and police officers later found out that she was shot twice in the head.

Kamala Harris To Hold Atlanta Rally To Garner Support From Battleground State 

Georgia....you can do this!

Vice President Kamala Harris is holding a rally in the battleground state of Georgia on July 30 as her first official campaign stop since launching her bid for the White House. 

As Georgia has been historically labeled as a red state but voted blue in the 2020 presidential election, campaign leaders feel Harris has a chance to do it again in November 2024.

“The vice president is energizing and mobilizing our base,” Harris campaign battleground states director Dan Kanninen said. “Having a candidate who can mobilize our key Biden-Harris coalition, talking about the issues that resonate with Georgians … make that state in play.”

Since taking office, this visit will be the vice president’s 15th trip to the Peachtree State. The rally, held in Atlanta, is expected to have some heavy hitters making appearances, including Democratic state Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock and former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Grammy Award-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion is also expected to give a special performance.

Harris will then hold a meeting with local leaders and reproductive rights advocates. 

Her trip to Atlanta comes after a highly successful first week of campaigning. Less than a week after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid and endorsed his vice president for the job, Harris raised more than $200 million and garnered more than ​​170,000 new volunteers who want to support her. 

The state of Georgia was a turning point in Biden securing the Oval Office in 2020, voting blue for the first time since 1992. Voting efforts in majority Black communities, including Atlanta, with years of organizing tactics from Abrams, helped Biden win by 12,000 votes. Harris’ campaign is looking to repeat the same success.

However, while fundraising has been impressive, Kanninen said they aren’t getting comfortable. “I continue to be very clear with our partners and with our own staff. This campaign will not get comfortable. We jumped in with just 100 days ago against an opponent who has shown he’s willing to do anything to win,” he said.

“This is going to be an incredibly close race, just like it was in 2020. But just like four years ago, we are going to win this thing.”

The campaign expects a competitive election between Trump and Harris as it looks at the state’s infrastructure as an advantage. Communications Director Michael Tyler wants things to be “close.” “That’s why we have the team and the operation in place to make sure that we can turn out every single Harris voter in the state of Georgia,” Tyler said. 

While the Metro Atlanta area prepares for Harris’s arrival, other Harris supporters, like Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, are working with volunteers in rural areas of Georgia to encourage them in the quest to gather blue support in the polls. According to USA Today, Beshear, a potential running mate for Harris, spoke to volunteers in Forsyth County — a majority red-leaning county — to speak of his victories. In 2019, the Democratic leader won his first gubernatorial race in his deep-red home state by less than half a percentage point and then again in 2023 by five percentage points, all thanks to hard work. “People ask me, and I’m sure they ask you too: How do you do it? How do we win?” he told volunteers at the new campaign office while standing on the back of a red pickup truck. 

“We win by staying true to our values of compassion, of empathy, of doing right by our neighbors… We win by caring and fighting for every single vote in every single county. This is not my first speech on the back of a pickup truck.” 

More than 170 coordinated staff and 24 offices will be opening across Georgia. Three of them opened doors toward the end of July 2024.

On July 21, President Biden stepped down as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 presidential race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris on his way out the door. Though there were calls for the president to relinquish his claim to run for a second term as the incumbent candidate, Biden gave no signs that he would acquiesce. The announcement may have jarred the nation, but Black people were not.

Win With Black Men

Black Men were hot on the heels of the women. Just a day later, on July 22. Black men similarly met on Zoom. Over 100,000 participants garnered $1.3 million in funding. The host of the Roland Martin Unfiltered Show, Roland Martin, spearheaded the call.

White Women: Answer The Call!

Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, followed the lead of Win With Black Women a few days after its initial call on July 25. Watts rallied over 100,000 registrants and raised over $2 million in 90 minutes. Popstar Pink and Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow attended to speak on Zoom with their peers. The call is reported as the largest online Zoom meeting recorded in history, with over 200,000 attendees. The meeting has garnered $11 million in donations and counting.

White Dudes For Harris

White Dudes For Harris, Organized by Cameron Conaway White Dudes For Harris, the call for American white men went off without a hitch. Speakers on the call included Pete Buttigieg, Mike Hamil, and Mark Ruffalo. The call was attended by 80,000 men and raised $400,000 and counting.

5th Annual Critical Race Theory Summer School Honors The Anniversary of Freedom Summer

CRT Summer School has themed this year's programming in honor of the Freedom Summer anniversary.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) Summer School is back for its 5th annual event in Nashville while paying tribute to the 60th anniversary of Freedom Summer.

The CRT Summer School advocates for the necessity of critical race theory in education. This year’s “Freedom Summer 2024: No U-Turn on Racial Justice” program honors Mississippi’s 1964 Black voter registration project.

It began July 28 with its “Tip of the Spear: Tennessee on the Frontlines of the War on Woke” plenary. The discussion addressed the southern state’s place in CRT discourse. It included speakers such as State Rep. Justin Jones, Tim Wise, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Freedom Rider Bernard Lafayette.

The program’s ongoing mission is especially pertinent as anti-DEI legislation, book bans, and a crackdown on CRT spread nationwide. The weeklong event will feature additional plenaries and intensives, all meant to spark discussion and strategy to keep Black history taught in schools.

The intensives start with Crenshaw leading the conversation on Intersectionality and the #SayHerName Movement. Michael Eric Dyson will then focus on the Genealogies of Anti-Blackness. The following discussions pertain to American democracy and defending DEI initiatives.

“Color blindness has been weaponized to preclude any real, meaningful education about systemic racism, which connects to attacks on voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and women’s reproductive freedom,” stated Crenshaw, executive director of the African American Policy Forum, in a press release.

“That’s why anti-racism efforts must be intersectional, just like democracy must be multiracial. Racism is the Achilles heel of our democracy, a deeply-rooted weakness in this country used to forge a war against ‘wokeness,’ or what many of us call education and advocacy. This is the most important election of our lifetimes, and our very democracy is on the line.”

“So this year’s Critical Race Theory Summer School will empower participants with the essential knowledge and tools needed to confront systemic racism and advocate for transformative change in their communities.”

Moreover, plenaries will continue to focus on organizing, resistance, and survival against anti-CRT discourse. From its “Fight the Power: Using History to Find the Courage to Resist We Are the Majority!” to “How to Fight the Autocratic Takeover of Our Public Institutions” meetings, advocates will encourage attendees to fight for this pivotal matter.

All of the program’s discussions, ongoing until Aug. 2, will be available to stream or attend in person.
