HOLLYWOOD HILLS—On August 2, Candace Owens, host of the Candace Owens Show, political commentator, and founder of the national #Blexit(Black Exit) movement, spoke on her show regarding the struggle that model and rapper, Amber Rose went through over the speech she gave at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on July 19th. Amber Rose spoke on the first night of the RNC.

Rose indicated that it was her ex-husband, and rapper Wiz Khalifa, who convinced her to post the photo of herself with the Trumps on her social media pages. Well, that was in May.

After that, she received condemnation from people on the left that she thought were her friends.

Before long, Rose was invited to tell her story at the RNC. She kept her speech short, and to the point, admitting that the first Republican she ever knew was her father. It was something that her Dad said, that changed everything. His advice to his daughter was to do her research.

….” People have to do their research,” Rose stated at the RNC. “ I watched all the rallies and I started meeting so many of you, his red hat-wearing supporters. I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, white, gay, or straight. So, I let go of my fear of;  Judgement, of being misunderstood, of getting attacked by the left, and I put the red hat on too. Thank you. Love you too. I never felt more free and more love for my country than I do now.”

Owen’s reached out in support of Rose after hearing the model’s speech at the RNC.

“It was the highlight of my evening,” Owens stated.

Reports indicate that Amber Rose’s declaration has gone viral. She has been interviewed by Fox News. She is now a member of the Black Americans for Trump Coalition.

On Saturday, June 15, President Trump visited a pastor at a round table in the inner city of Detroit, Michigan. He spoke directly to the people living there in the neighborhoods in a rally where, others, have not dared to go. Trump listened and spoke to the people of Detroit. He started a coalition and asked them to join.

Team Trump’s Black Media Director, Janiyah Thomas, first told Newsweek“While Black Americans have been left behind by Joe Biden, Donald J. Trump’s Coalition message to the black community is simple; If you want to return to the policies that created rising wages, more quality jobs, stronger borders, and safer neighborhoods then join Black Americans for Trump and vote for President Trump in November.”

The Black Americans for Trump Coalition has grown in membership.

Santa Monica—On December 9, President Joe Biden along with some White House staffers flew into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and then went aboard Marine One to Santa Monica Airport. The President was greeted by Rep. Ted Lieu, Governor Gavin Newsom, and Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass.

As the Biden motorcade approached the Holmby Hills home where the event was to take place, Pro-Palestine protestors lined the streets. Security had put a barricade in place to separate those at the fundraiser from the demonstrators.

Reports indicate that there were Pro-Palestine protestors present at last month’s fundraising event with Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman, Doug Emhoff as well.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi(D-CA) First Lady Jill Biden, spoke first, followed by James Costos, and then President Biden who spoke for a total of 11 minutes.

“I’m not going to talk long for a couple of reasons: one, I know that I’m the only thing standing between you and Lenny Kravitz. (Laughter.) That’s number one.”

Biden took time to introduce some of the people in the audience. He made some jabs at his 2024 Presidential opponent, Donald J. Trump. FiveThirtyEight reported that according to YouGov 80 percent of those polled have a favorable view of Trump while Biden has 39 percent of those polled with favorable views of President Biden.

Biden looked at Governor Newsom, who has been at many of Biden’s campaign events, and said, “You’re always there.”

“Let me begin by thanking all of you,” Biden began.

In 2020, the reason we got 81 million votes — more votes than any presidential candidate has ever gotten — is because of all of you. You’re the reason why Donald Trump is a former president. (Applause.) Or as he hates to hear me say, a defeated president. (Laughter and applause).

It’s despicable. It’s simply despicable,” Biden said, then saying, a bit facetiously, “My guess is that he won’t show up at my next inauguration.”

According to those who attended the event, there was no mention of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, though the chants of “Cease Fire Now” by the protestors on the other side of the fence could be heard over Biden. The President did speak to the crowd about a new and improved railway stystem.

The event was hosted by designer Michael Smith and the former U.S. ambassador to Spain, James Costos. Co-hosts included Rob Reiner, Peter Chernin, Jim Gianopulos, Shonda Rhimes, Steven Spielberg, and Rick Caruso.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were also present. 

Reports indicate that invitations were sent to those who supported Biden in the 2020 Presidential election in hopes of securing those votes once again.  Ticket prices reportedly started at $1,000 each.

BEVERLY HILLS—On September 23, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, made an appearance at the private home of TV executive, founder of Children Uniting Nations and President of Cinémoi USA, Daphna Ziman, located at 9364 Beverly Crest Drive in Beverly Hills.

While speaking to a crowd of approximately 45 people, the First Lady campaigned for a second term for her husband, Joe Biden, for President in 2024.

In her speech she reminded supporters that it was her husband who appointed Ketanji Brown Jackson as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. She also indicated that it was her husband that worked to have prescription drug prices lowered with “Big Pharma.”

Dr. Biden was telling the crowd about his achievements in climate change, and how the
American people should re-elect her husband so he can “finish the job.”

In her travels, FLOTUS spoke at campaign fundraising events in Seattle Washington, and traveled San Diego where she was greeted by San Diego Mayor, Todd Gloria at San Diego International Airport. She then flew from San Diego to Hollywood Burbank Airport. The Beverly Hills stop was scheduled just ahead of the upcoming Republican Presidential debate.

Jill Biden spoke highly of her husband, saying, “he has an unshakable hope in the future of our country. Anyone can tell you what they want to do, but Joe can tell what he’s done.”

She attempted a jab at former President Donald Trump in her speeches on the campaign trail saying in part, “We know what’s in store if the extreme MAGA Republicans return to power. The choice in this election could not be more clear.”

President Biden has not traveled to California for a campaign event. Multiple news sources suggest Biden may be avoiding the area during a time of unrest with labor unions, and motel strikes.

The California Republican Party (CAGOP) made the following statement about the upcoming 2nd GOP Presidential Debate, September 29-October 1st at the Anaheim Marriot Hotel.

“All eyes will be on California next week as our state hosts the 2nd GOP Presidential Debate in my hometown of Simi Valley and on the hallowed grounds of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Following this historic debate, the momentum will shift to the largest California Republican Party Convention in our history, where four presidential candidates, including President Donald J. Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Tim Scott, and Vivek Ramaswamy, will take the stage. With 169 delegates up for grabs – the most of any state, California will play a pivotal role in deciding our Party’s nominee.

I can’t wait to hear from all the candidates and why they would be the best person to take on and beat Joe Biden or whomever the Democrat nominee may be in 2024.” — CAGOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson

The end of the last fundraising quarter for any party to qualify for the 2024 Presidential election is September 30th.
