Tom Brady was not an option for the #Jets. Officially, he won’t be an option for an team when his stake in the #Raiders gets finalized. But that won’t be until October at the earliest.

Sacramento Police Department Holding DUI Checkpoint September 1st

The Sacramento Police Department will hold a DUI Checkpoint on September 1st in the area of Folsom Blvd and Hornet Dr between 7:30 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

Checkpoint locations are chosen based on a history of DUI crashes and arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests, but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired. During the checkpoint, officers will look for signs that drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

The Sacramento Police Department is committed to keeping the traveling public safe and reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or ”operating heavy machinery” which includes driving a car. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

If you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your ability to drive safely, plan on staying at home.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

BREAKING: Iconic rapper Eminem puts 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on notice that he must stop using his music to promote his campaign immediately — or else face consequences.

The feud started when Ramaswamy went viral after embarrassing himself by jumping on stage at the Iowa State Fair and rapping along to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” the lead song of the soundtrack for the movie Eight Mile.

This infuriated Eminem, who is a “woke” rapper who stands firmly against Ramaswamy’s extremist, bigoted beliefs and dangerous rhetoric targeted against Black and Hispanic Democratic Congressional leaders.

Eminem immediately called his label, BMI, and had BMI send Ramaswamy and his campaign a blistering letter threatening to take legal action against Ramaswamy if he ever uses his music again to promote his extremist presidential campaign. In the letter, BMI reveals that Eminem strongly “objects” to Ramaswamy using his songs — and that any future use of Eminem songs of will result in a “breach” that Eminem and BMI will seek legal “remedies” over.

Laughably, Ramaswamy just responded to Eminem’s threat by announcing that he will no longer use Eminem’s music — and that he only did so because Eminem is an “underdog” just like him. What Ramaswamy didn’t mention is that he grew up in wealthy household that is far removed from the struggles that Eminem overcame growing up in a trailer on the “otherwise of the tracks” in Detroit.

Maybe if Ramaswamy had actually paid attention when he watched Eight Mile, he would have understood that his own story is nothing like Eminem’s — and that Eminem would have NEVER endorsed his divisive, bigoted, pro-Trump presidential campaign.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Eminem for setting Vivek Ramaswamy straight — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

It is with a heavy heart that I must share this news. Andy Dowding, my drummer for many many years, has passed away peacefully in the hospital. Never easy to receive this kind of news-R.I.P. Andy, I am sad.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Caroline, Sophie and Emily.
