Zac Brown isn’t apologizing for performing at Sunday’s UFC event at the White House 👏🇺🇸
“I’m there for the troops, man. I’m there to honor America. This is patriotism, not politics for me. I mean, fuck all the division. I don’t believe in that. I love this country. I love all the people that have sacrificed so that I can live my American dream and that everyone that lives here gets a chance to do that if they work hard and make the right decisions. So it doesn’t have a place in politics for me.”
Thank YOU VANILLA ICE!
Politics should not be in music. Music makes the world go 'round. Let's just celebrate 250 yrs!!

🔥🚨 JUST IN — Vanilla Ice RIPS CNN and the artists who decided to pull out of performances for America’s 250th anniversary celebration in Washington, DC.
CNN: Why are you still planning on performing?
VANILLA ICE: "I'm PROUD to be an American! I don't like ANYBODY telling me I can't be proud of it."
"We're celebrating the birthday of our country, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL HERE?"
"I think this is a huge honor." 🔥
"This whole world is like a snow globe, but it shouldn't be that, and music is here to bring people together, man. And, you know, it shouldn't be that this music is dragged into politics."
The mother of missing 16 year old Aysia Banks:
"I am gonna be full transparent and share everything surrounding the disappearance of my daughter , because CMPD is playing it like a runaway case and it’s being taking lightly.
For those wanting answers … here are the answers. I know it’s a lot but I need you all to read and please share.
I am speaking out to bring urgent attention to the disappearance of my daughter, Aysia, and to express my grave concern regarding the current handling of her case.
CMPD is currently classifying this as a runaway; however, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance strongly suggest she is in danger and may have been groomed or manipulated.
HERE ARE THE FACTs:
• Last Seen: Tuesday night ( April 14th -early morning of April 15th)
• I was working a night shift (7 p.m. – 7 a.m.). My 9-year-old son reported that Aysia left with a bag during the night.
• When I arrived home, all of Aysia’s known electronics were left behind. Her phone enters automatic "Downtime" at 11 p.m., restricting her communication to parents only. Her other parent is currently out of the country.
• Because she left her devices behind, I believe she was either using a secondary device I was unaware of to communicate with someone, or arrangements were made prior to 11 p.m.
Aysia is 16 years old and has no history of running away or behavioral issues.
She is a dedicated Honors Student and a member of the National Honors Society.
She values her education and would never willingly miss school or abandon her younger brother in this manner.
And none of her close friends has any answers or any clue about her disappearance.
Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., a 16-year-old girl is extremely vulnerable. Whether she was lured away willingly or forced, she is a minor alone in the middle of the night. I believe she has been targeted and groomed.
Something is wrong.
My daughter is not a "troubled child” she is a child who is missing, and someone else is involved.
I am asking for the community’s help and for law enforcement to treat this with the severity it deserves.

@PressSec@PressSec I'd like to know to whom? My husband and I work over 40 hrs a wk live paycheck to paycheck paying bills and we have to PAY taxes again this year! All because our incomes have put us in a higher tax bracket, we don't own our house, and our children are too old to claim.
@mattvanswol We have to pay as well and I'm not officially filling until April 15th. Makes me sick to my stomach to know how much fraud has happened and we still have to pay.
@HailstoneChip I broke my foot during Covid and I only wore one when I had to go to my Dr's office bc it was a requirement. Other than those times I never wore one.
@SarahisCensored@mcuban did the same thing here in Charlotte NC for my girl friends daughter Mallory that was hit by a car after a concert in Boone, NC. He had Mallory airlifted by helicopter to a brain center Hospital in Georgia. Heather (her Mother) had spent days fighting insurance.
Throwback to Elvis Presley getting asked about his political beliefs and thoughts on the war..
“I just want to keep my own personal views about that to myself — I’m just an entertainer.”
#NEW: CMPD Crime Stoppers has put out these pictures asking for the community's help in IDing this woman and car spotted by surveillance cameras. They are calling her the suspect in the stabbing outside the Cotswold Harris Teeter a week ago.
