HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Olson / Getty The GOP sure does know how to find the ditsiest, most ignorant QMorons in America to endorse for positions of power, don’t they? This is especially true when Republicans start scouring the sunken place looking for Blacky-lackey mascots they can parade around as their resident Black friends. Kristina Karamo, a community college professor who claimed she witnessed election fraud during the 2020 presidential race where not a shred of evidence proving any fraud was discovered, has officially been endorsed by the Michigan GOP as a candidate for secretary of state.

A Universe of House Music and Tacos: How Space Taco Is Making Tuesdays Sizzle In SoCal
It’s not uncommon for long lines of patrons to form outside of the bars and nightclubs in Downtown Pomona, California. After all, the eastern L.A. County city has seen its historic center prosper as a weekend nightlife destination since the turn of the millennium. What is uncommon, however, is when said lines form on a Tuesday night, and even more peculiar is the eccentric clientele eager to march downstairs into The Basement. As its name entails, The Basement can be found below ground level directly under the streets of Pomona. The nondescript nightclub sits at the corner of a busy intersection lined with competing watering holes and boasts a rotating roster of themed nights.
