State officials across the Country are preparing for what could be violent demonstrations in support of President Donald Trump in the days leading up to the January 20th inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
Many states, including California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Florida, had activated their National Guard forces to reinforce security as of Saturday.
According to TMZ, in addition to high alert patrolling of major cities across the country, sources are also reporting that law enforcement will also pay close attention to other important landmarks around the United States.
There will be a overwhelming number of security around the Trump Tower and other locations linked to Trump, in addition to officers patrolling around City Hall in the days leading up to the ceremony.
A source notes that while there are no specific threats to these buildings, NYPD simply doesn’t want to take any chances.
Five people died in the U.S Capital riot, and many arrested, which happened after Trump repeated false claims of fraud in the November election and encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol. Since then, a second impeachment has happened and he has been banned from several social media platforms – including Twitter.

As violent protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday during the counting of electoral votes to confirm President-elect Joe Biden, America was watching. That included some people in the entertainment world, many of whom were compelled to comment on social media as the angry mob and thugs made their way into the government building. As rioters looted, smashed windows, and sprayed police officers with chemicals, people watching the chaos happen on social media were noticing the huge difference in response to the attack and last year’s Black Lives Matter protests.
Marches and protest against police brutality and the killings of unarmed Black people — like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, were last summer met with an overflow of police and military presence, which often led to law enforcement officers using tear gas and physical violence against protesters.
Cardi B called the situation “ironic,” saying, “weren’t people just wild animals in the summer for demanding justice and now?”
The irony is pretty funny………weren’t people just wild animals in the summer for demanding justice and now?🤔🤔🤔🤔……Let me just watch.
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) January 6, 2021
She wrote in a follow-up tweet: “Protesters were getting called animals, looters, thugs for rioting and protesting over JUSTICE & EQUALITY by the same people that are out today doing the same shit over ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!”
50 Cent took to Instagram where he shared a photo of a fleet of military personnel at the US Capitol during the BLM protests during the summer. “I don’t have to say anything else,” he captioned.
Meek Mill described the scene as “two Americas.” “2 americas! They would of shot us down literally if this was blacks by the way,” he wrote. ScHoolboy Q showed the same frustration in a tweet, saying, “If tHe police don’t start smoking tHese weirdos ima get Hot.”
Plies, however, saw the incident in a different light, expressing that this is the type of exposure America needs. “America is gettin’ to see who the real thugs are in this country.”

In most countries throughout history, if you try a coup and it doesn’t work, you get lined up and shot. Since America is no longer operating like a first world country when do the executions start?

In a wide-ranging interview published by Esquire, Kid Cudi asserts that he “totally disagrees” with Kanye West’s political views. This is the first time publicly that Cudi has taken some measure to distance himself from his mentor on political matters. The two hip-hop icons have a long history of collaborating with each other, most recently on 2018’s Kids See Ghosts.
In recent years, West has adopted more conservative politics and has praised President Trump on multiple occasions, even visiting him at the White House. While West now has political aspirations of his own, he has not shied away from his admiration for the Commander-in-Chief.
Kid Cudi, who was spotted at a Bernie Sanders rally earlier this year, still considers Kanye to be his “brother” and makes clear that they are still friends, saying “That’s my brother. I’ll go on record: That’s my brother. I love him… But that doesn’t mean I’m going to agree with everything he fucking says and he fucking does, you know?”
In June, the pair announced an upcoming animated show inspired by the Kids See Ghosts album. It is directed by the legendary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Watch the trailer here!

The legendary MC returned to social media to sound off on Pres. Donald Trump over the way he has handled the COVID-19 pandemic. Brad Jordan also known as Scarface (@BrotherMob) let the POTUS have it on twitter yesterday declaring that, “Anyone that casts a vote for you is a God damn fool” after Trump predicted victory in the upcoming elections.
Anybody that casts a vote for you is a goddamn fool you are an absolute moron you have failed this country miserably the blood of 152 thousand Americans are on your hand you self centered lunatic you really think people like you?? Naaaa bruh…..
— SCARFACE (@BrotherMob) July 30, 2020
The Deeply Rooted legend continues with, “You are an absolute moron. You have failed this country miserably. The blood of 152 thousand Americans are on your hand you self-centered lunatic.”
The Geto Boys frontman is one of many American citizens who have voiced displeasure with how President Trump has handled the pandemic. An aspiring politician himself, some would look at this as political posturing. Face Mob came close to being on Houston’s city council after losing to Dr. Carolyn Evans-Shabazz in a runoff back in 2019.
It should be noted that Scarface has recently recovered from COVID-19. On March 26, 2020 he revealed that he tested positive for the virus.
The Untouchable great ended his rant with “You really think people like you?? Naaaa bruh…” He’s only saying what most of us are thinking: F*** You Too, Donald Trump. Peace to the God Scarface!

Cardi B has crossed over and entered the political landscape. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper spoke out on the shutdown over the wall and border security. Due to the shutdown, government employees aren’t getting paid and people got bills. Cardi pretty much said this country is a hellhole and when President Obama shutdown the government it was because he wanted us to have health care.
Cardi and Tomi exchanged barbs against each other over Twitter. Tomi tried to play Cardi as outsider who shouldn’t speak on politics. My issue with Tomi Lahren all the arguments she makes against the Cardi Bs and the LeBrons of the world can be made against Donald Trump. She will defend a unqualified person as president but use the same words to slander a citizen of this country. Cardi B spoke her mind and Tomi tried to belittle her.
I think Cardi B and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez share the same spirit. Both from New York and speak freely with individual thinking. Opposition to the congresswoman was disrespectful. An old video of her dancing was posted and it was deemed scandalous. It’s not like she poised nude for a sex cult like Playboy unlike a certain First Lady we know. Ocasio-Cortez responded by posting another video dancing. Donald Trump is seen as America’s nightmare and the new wave of politicians are coming to combat this. The new wave will combat fire with fire and will see youth coming and acknowledge it. People like Cardi B, Killer Mike and Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez will kill the old regime and the people like Tomi Lahren that wants to uphold it.
