Vaccine Rant by Blac Chyna at Miami Airport Caught on Film by Fans

Music-adjacent reality TV star Blac Chyna is a bit of an enigma. 

She went from strip club to second-tier stardom early last decade, largely thanks to a name drop by Drake and earning the role as Nicki Minaj's booty, err body double, in the video for Kanye West's "Monster."

Since that breakthrough she's kept in the public eye through celebrity relationships, some genuine entrepreneurial efforts and a raft of reality television appearances — including headlining her own eponymously named show, "The Real Blac Chyna," on the neophyte Zeus Network.

So, who is Chyna? Is she the hardworking student, born Angela Renée White, that took jobs stripping to finance her education at Johnson & Wales University before dropping out due to exhaustion? Is she the video-vixen, turned instant "it girl" that captured the hearts of a hip-hop generation with her exotic looks? Or maybe she's something totally different. 

That's something for her fans and haters to debate, and maybe "The Real Blac Chyna" to shed some light on in its second season. The one thing we know the 33-year-old is not, however, is a vaccine denier... at least if you can believe her own words.

Reportedly after being triggered by a lady holding a baby getting in her personal space and asking for a photo, according to TMZ, Chyna had some harsh words for those who don't believe in the vaccines that have taken center stage in the fight against Covid, and she wasn't shy about sharing them Sunday with fellow customers at Miami International Airport.

"Nobody wants to get checked out,” she yelled, beginning a long and rambling tirade to anyone within earshot. “Go get checked out! It's sad and it really blows the f–k out of me.”

Chyna also added, “Go get the f–king vaccine and stop being stupid, hoe!” and "Go get the shot! The same thing that you have to do to enroll your kids [in school].” And, “this is why people’s grandparents are dying and s–t.”

Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden Resigns After Racist, Misogynistic and Homophobic Emails Exposed

Just hours after The New York Times released a scathing report Monday night highlighting a history of racist, homophobic and misogynistic emails sent by Las Vegas Raiders head coach, Jon Gruden, to NFL officials over a seven-year period prior to his hire, ESPN is reporting that the once highly sought coach is out of a job.

Shortly after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that he was told by sources that” Raiders owner Mark Davis arrived at the team's facility earlier Monday evening and went to find Gruden.”

"Earlier this evening, The New York Times uncovered a trail of emails dating back seven years, in which Jon Gruden had a clean sweep of offending NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, women, gays, minorities, all sorts of people."

Gruden followed up shortly with a statement of his own saying, “I have resigned as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction. Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, and fans of Raider Nation. I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone.”

Davis himself confirmed both the meeting and the reported conclusion by Schefter, releasing the following statement:

"I have accepted Jon Gruden's resignation as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders."

It was the final stop on a rollercoaster of a week for the 58-year-old, who was in his second stint with the Raiders as head coach.

Friday after reporting by the Wall Street Journal revealed Gruden had used a racial stereotype to refer to NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith in 2011 in an email to then Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen, he quickly apologized.

Gruden, who said, “Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of michellin [sic] tires,” in the email, told the WSJ he was “really sorry" and that he refers to liars as "rubber lips." 

I don’t think he’s dumb,” Gruden told the Journal. “I don’t think he’s a liar. I don’t have a racial bone in my body, and I’ve proven that for 58 years.

It seemed the controversy might die out with the Raiders staying mum on the subject and Gruden and others trying to play off the incident as a one-time mistake years before he was head coach, but Monday’s report spurred immediate action from the team which publicly prides itself on a commitment to diversity and anti-racist principles.

Gruden, who led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl win in 2003 before eventually moving on to ESPN where he worked as a color analyst during the period when he composed most of the offensive emails before being hired to coach the Raiders in 2018, finishes his tenure with a 22-31 record.

Rich Bisaccia will serve as the interim head coach of the team, effective immediately

Officer Who Shot and Paralyzed David Blake Will Not Face Federal Charges

Over a year after a white police officer shot 30-year-old Jacob Blake, who is Black, in the back seven times during a domestic disturbance in Kenosha, Wisconsin, setting off several nights of sometimes violent protests in August 2020 — federal prosecutors announced today that they will not file federal civil rights charges against the officer.

According to a statement released by the Justice Department this conclusion was reached after a team of experienced federal prosecutors from the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office conducted a detailed and lengthy analysis of numerous materials obtained by state investigators and the FBI.

The team determined that insufficient evidence exists to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the KPD officer, Rusten Sheskey, willfully violated the federal criminal civil rights statutes after examining the evidence which included police reports, law enforcement accounts, witness statements, affidavits of witnesses, dispatch logs, physical evidence reports, photographs and videos of some portions of the incident.

“Accordingly, the review of this incident has been closed without a federal prosecution,” concluded the Justice Department statement.

The decision followed one made earlier this year by state officials not to charge Sheske citing video of Blake — who is paralyzed from the incident and had his children nearby in the back of his vehicle when he was shot — wielding a knife before the incident.
