🚨 Arkansas State Trooper Michael Austin Kennedy resigned after his wife filed 30+ screenshots of his white supremacist text messages in their divorce case including calling areas “N*GGERLAND” bragging about detained Hispanics as “trophies,” and pushing to repeal the 19th Amendment.
The messages to his wife Alana were packed with racial slurs against Black and Hispanic people, rants blaming “illegal immigrants” and Black people for traffic and crime, and extreme views like banning Muslims from America. One message read: “You don’t f*king hate them enough. The s*t that clogged up [their son’s] toilet is worth more to me than any of them.”
Kennedy also sent selfies posing with detained Hispanic individuals while on duty, calling them his “trophy.”
Alana amended her custody filing seeking sole custody. She stated his beliefs would “poison the minds of the children” and that the kids feared him because of his hate and irrational thoughts.
Kennedy resigned from the Arkansas State Police on May 15 shortly after the messages surfaced. In court papers he acknowledged the language but claimed it was “outdated” and didn’t reflect his values today after therapy and church guidance. Arkansas State Police reviewed his traffic stops and citations and said there was no indication his views affected his job performance.
A man sworn to protect and serve all citizens was privately holding this level of hatred.
What screening or accountability should law enforcement agencies have so white supremacist views like these don’t stay hidden until they surface in divorce court?
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Hey, remember this little guy? His name is Greg Bovino. He led Donald Trump’s chaotic, violent, inept paramilitary invasions of multiple U.S. cities until he was fired a couple of months ago. Mr Bovino has been spending his retirement lamenting that he was not able to achieve his personal dream of deporting nearly A THIRD of the U.S. population. He’s also posted photos like this one on social media [Hitler salute]. He posted that photo just before jetting off to a White supremacist conference in Portugal this weekend. He was the special guest at a gathering of European far far far right politicians and activists who advocate for making Europe more White.”😳

Dylan Harper’s mom, Maria, breaks down her message to him during their postgame embrace 🫶
@dy1anharper will make his first NBA Finals appearance in his rookie season!
@MikeLevin@sherylunderwood If you guys think he’s getting away with this I have a bridge to sell you. 😂. For the short term yes he’s “getting away” currently. Soon as the administration flips, house and senate flips, and possibly/hopefully one of those scotus becomes open. Everyone going to prison. ST
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

Cam Newton left Yung Miami SPEECHLESS after giving her a brutal reality check about how much harder a man’s life is compared to a woman’s, explaining that everyone expects a man to protect & provide and no one feels bad for a broke man 😮👀
“Society doesn’t feel sorry for the man. Society can feel sorry for a woman… I got 9 kids, you think they care about if I feel good or not?… we gotta compartmentalize naturally because nobody cares.”
