Sharon Osbourne to Kanye West: You "F*cked with the Wrong Jew This Time"

Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, is threatening legal action against Kanye West over his unauthorized sampling of a performance of “Iron Man” on his new album.

Ozzy first brought infringement to light in a social media post on Friday, saying that he refused to let West sample a live version of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” because the rapper is “an antisemite and has caused untold heartache to many.”

Now, Sharon has chimed in, telling TMZ that, “Kanye fucked with the wrong Jew this time.” She said that the couple has already sent West’s team a cease and desist and will pursue further legal action if he continues to use the sample.

Sharon’s late father, music manager Don Arden, was Jewish, and she has said that she identifies as Jewish.

OMG! I almost killed Betty!

My sourdough starter. I fed her and put her in the oven. I turned the oven on like I always do. But, forgot to turn it off after one minute of warming. She's ok now. The center was not heated badly, so I poured some out and fed her. I also pinched off a good piece of raw dough from the loaf I was making and stirred it all together. She is bubbling up nicely. Phew! That was close!!!

I saw my dog Charlie today and he's been dead for over three years.

I was sitting on the sofa looking out my back sliding glass door. I saw a small light colored dog looking over toward the neighbor's house and wagging its tail. Now, I have 6 small dogs, some are light colored and all are in different stages of needing haircuts. The dog on the porch was freshly cut and then I saw him turn and run the other way. Solid, just like a real animal.

It occurred to me that all of the little dogs were in the house, pretty much just sleeping and the big dogs were locked up in the bedroom. No dog had come in from the fenced in yard through the dog door. My wife came into the room and I asked her to count the babies. And make sure they were all present. All 6 were in the living room with me.
There wasn't any dog in the back yard, but there was a dog and he looked solid. I think it was Charlie.

THANK YOU! To all who helped two old ladies!!

Either by donating to our gofundme, or reposting my fund raiser. We now are the proud owners of a gently used 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with only 57,000 miles on it. Thank you very much for your support and the love you showed us. ❤️

Here is the new car in front with my wife, Kat. (The old kia with the blown engine is in the back.)



There's plenty of room in the back for Kat's manual wheelchair and hopefully we will get a lift so we can take her Jazzy chair.



And here's our old faces, grinning because we are so very grateful and thankful for everything! I send you all a great big virtual hug!!!!!!

THIS MAKES ME SO MAD!!

There was an "alarming" 30-fold increase in measles cases in Europe last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.

Health chiefs are warning that cases are still rising and "urgent measures" are needed to prevent further spread.

More than 30,000 people were infected in 2023, compared to 941 during the whole of 2022.

The WHO believes this is a result of fewer children being vaccinated against the disease during the Covid pandemic.

People are sacrificing their children on the altar of their political beliefs. Five children have died, thry said, from measles complications. FIVE!!!

Fuck you, RFK, jr. You're a piece of shit for telling lies about the safety and efficacy of vaccines. You are killing children.

This will be my last request for help. Thank you to all who helped us.

Thank you to everyone who has kicked in. I hate that we are in this predicament, but life had to throw us a big curve ball. Through no fault of my own, I found myself without work for a very long time. My Navy vetetan wife is disabled and relies on a wheelchair. She gets a modest SS check. After losing work for so long my credit score, which I'd been working on and improved significantly this past summer, went crashing down. Then, my car engine blew out on the way to work. Without good credit, there's no way I would get financed without a big down-payment. We just don't have it. I am trying to raise $2400.00 for a used car to get to work and back.
Please k&R and post on your social media. Thank you so much!! Hugs to all.

I Hate the GQP in Florida!

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida Republicans may set aside millions in taxpayer money to help pay for former President Donald Trump’s multiple legal battles.

A Miami Republican who endorsed Trump’s reelection has filed a bill for this year’s legislative session that could allow the state to hand out up to $5 million to the embattled Republican frontrunner for president. The legislation has already won the endorsement from Jimmy Patronis, the state’s Republican chief financial officer, who for months has been publicly calling for taxpayers to pay to defend Trump from criminal charges.


“We’re in the midst of an historic moment where we’re watching an election that’s trying to be stolen by left wing prosecutors, the Biden Administration and even Blue States,” said GOP state Sen. Ileana Garcia in a statement. “They’re not trying to win at the ballot box; they’re trying to keep President Trump off the ballot by weaponizing the courts. Having a Floridian in the White House is good for our state — and anything we can do to support Florida Presidential candidates, like President Trump, will not only benefit our state, but our nation.”

It’s not clear if the legislation — which would hand out money to presidential candidates who are Florida residents and “subject to political discrimination” — will go very far. There is currently no House companion to the bill, SB 1740, and it has not been something that Republican legislative leaders have been promoting during the start of this year’s session.

Please help us if you can.

Hi, my name is Lara. I an a 62 year old nurse, still working. My wife is a 68 year old Navy veteran who relies on disability SS for income. Last September, my private duty patient passed away. It turns out that after the death investigation by the AHCA, my nursing agency was committing Medicaid fraud. They were not able to admit any more patients, but the agency did not let the nurses know. So, I was without work for a month, thinking that they would assign me a new patient and not knowing about their defrauding Medicaid.

No new client was given to me and we were behind in bills for a month or so when I finally found out about the situation with this agency. I applied to another nursing agency, but had to wait for a new assignment. It went very slowly.

Soon, we were several months behind. My car payment was several months in arrears. Then our mortgage was in arrears and we negotiated with the lender and got help from HUD. We relied on food banks for meals and at Thanksgiving picked up the makings of a Holiday meal donated by a local car dealer. Christmas was a meal made from the food bank donations. But, we celebrated and I kept a positive outlook.

Things were looking up, and in the beginning of January, I got a full-time client, even though they are in the next county over. I took the assignment because I needed the work. As a 30 year nurse, I needed a private duty job because my knees no longer allowed floor nursing.

But, unfortunately, on Monday, January 15th my car's engine failed and the car is shot. I still owe on it and a new engine is more expensive than the car is worth. I looked around on line, found a few reliable cars that would suit us. It has to be able to carry a manuel wheelchair and be reliable enough to get me to my job which is almost 30 miles away. There's no public transportation in my small county of N. Florida. And my wife has many medical appointments at the VA in Leon county. That's the closest one and transportation is not provided, even for the disabled.

The only vehicles I found require at least $2400 for a down-payment due to my recently bad credit score. We just don't have that amount. As we move forward, my only recourse is to rely on others to help us out. We need a new (gently used) car/SUV.
