The founder of a student group supporting former President Donald Trump was arrested and charged with assaulting his girlfriend with a gun in North Carolina before Thanksgiving.
According to reports, right-wing activist Ryan Fournier is facing misdemeanor charges handed down by a magistrate after being arrested in Johnston County, North Carolina last Tuesday(November 21). The information was disclosed through state public records. Fournier is accused of “grabbing her right arm and striking her in the forehead” with a 9mm Sauer handgun. It was reported that she suffered a minor injury after the incident. He would waive his right to a lawyer and post bond, being released later that evening. Fournier is slated to appear in court on December 18 and didn’t respond to requests for comment from the press.
Fournier, who currently resides in Salem, rose to prominence as a founder of Students For Trump along with John Lambert while attending Campbell University in 2016, a Christian institution in Bules Creek, North Carolina. The group factored significantly in the support for Trump during his run for president that year after his campaign asked them to help. At its height, Students For Trump had 250 chapters across the nation and a membership of over 5,000 volunteers. Fournier is currently the executive of Radical Alert, a conservative group claiming that “Radicals have taken over American college campuses,” with a following of one million on X, formerly Twitter.
The 27-year-old would be named as a conspirator in a scheme that Lambert perpetrated where he posed as a lawyer from a firm in Manhattan, New York. Lambert was charged with dispensing information he wasn’t licensed to share between 2016 and 2018, receiving $47,000 in exchange. He would be arrested in 2019, and sentenced to 13 months in prison in 2021. During a hearing in the trial, it was revealed that Fournier was cooperating with prosecutors.

Kodak Black is the focus of a beef between two politicians in Florida, with one declaring him “out of control” recently.
Last Wednesday (Nov. 22), Kodak Black became the flashpoint for another politician’s political attack on a Florida state politician. Richard Ryles, who is running for the Palm Beach County Commission seat, took aim at his fellow Democrat and opponent in the race, state Senator Bobby Powell for honoring the rapper with a proclamation. Ryles aired out his grievances in a statement to The Palm Beach Post.
“As an African-American, our community is well known for its forgiving nature and faith in redemption,” Ryles said in the statement which was emailed to the media outlet. “As an African-American man, I do want to see a redeemed Bill Kapri [aka Kodak Black] in his future dealings. Nevertheless, his recent spate of arrests indicate that he has yet to find his moral North Star and may well be spinning out of control due to drug use.”
“Mr. Kapri’s past misdeeds are well known and very public, and to provide a proclamation by honoring him for the charitable giving of turkeys, in my opinion, was more harmful than helpful to his potential redemption as a citizen,” the candidate wrote further. Since being pardoned by Trump in one of his final acts as president in 2021, Kodak Black has been exhibiting erratic behavior, most notably in his appearance on the Drink Champs podcast in October where he looked to be highly unstable.
Ryles further criticized Powell’s move to honor Kodak Black, a celebrity who has been highly vocal in their support of former President Donald Trump. “As a leader within the Democratic Party, I would have thought that Senator Powell would have exercised greater caution than to allow photographs of he with Mr. Kapri outfitted in MAGA gear, head to toe,” Ryles statement continued. Powell would issue a rebuttal statement afterward. ”By Mr. Ryles’ elitist logic, a man is to be strictly judged by a single act, not the totality of his life,” he wrote. “There is no forgiveness, no second chances, no redemption, just ongoing punishment, the kind that brought us an overpopulation of Black men in prison with no future and no hope.”

Bill Burr had time for the MAGA trolls BIG MAD that his wife blessed Donald Trump with the middle finger at a UFC event in NYC.
Spotted on Crooks & Liars, comedian/actor Bill Burr discussed the MAGA faithful still whining about his wife, Nia Renée Hill, flipping off the disgraced former president at UFC 295 on a recent episode of The Rich Eisen Show.
Bill Burr defended his queen, noting, telling the same MAGA trolls who always say “F*** Joe Biden” they can’t have it both ways.
“Those Trump guys — they’re always going, ‘Ah, You’re snowflakes, F your feelings,’ and all of that,” said Burr. “And then you make fun of Trump, they’re like, ‘Oh my God, it’s so disrespectful!’ You’re saying, ‘F Joe Biden!’ It’s like, you can’t have it both ways!”
Burr also broke down what happened in his own words, “The guy walked in the arena. Everybody cheered. She gave him the finger. Nobody got arrested. That’s why this country’s great. Everybody expressed themselves. Can we all be adults? I mean, I don’t know about you, but I came here to go to the fights. I didn’t know I was going to the Republican National Convention.”
Everyone Loved Seeing Nia Renée Hill Flipping Off Trump
Burr’s wife, Nia Renée Hill, was garnering plenty of praise after hitting the twice-impeached president with the middle finger.
“Didn’t watch UFC last night, but I’m pretty sure Bill Burr’s wife, Nia Renee Hill, won,” a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, read.
Another X user wrote, “Shout out to actress, writer, & producer Nia Renee Hill @niasalterego married to comedian @billburrTrumpers, your misogyny, racism, & hypocrisy are showing. You love your ‘Fuck Biden’ flags on lawns & trucks in front of kids. But complain when a woman does this?”
Salute to Bill Burr for standing up for his Black queen.

Kim Kardashian learned the hard way that former President Donald Trump is a very bitter, transactional person.
Spotted on Business Insider, according to a new book, the disgraced and twice impeached former POTUS, Donald Trump, was not trying to give reality star/ mogul and aspiring lawyer Kim Kardashian his help and hung up the phone on her when she called about a clemency plea.
Trump invited Kardashian to the White House in 2018 as she was advocating for sentencing reform for nonviolent offenders.
Kardashian asked the orange menace for help obtaining clemency for several prisoners serving time. Kim K was determined to help felons who have served considerable time, paid their debts to society, and deserve a second chance.
After returning to the White House in 2020 to advocate for criminal justice reform and meet with Trump and ex-offenders whose sentences were commuted, Trump began to give Kim K the cold shoulder following his election defeat to President Joe Biden, according to a new book from ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl.
Per Business Insider:
Months after Trump left the White House, Kardashian reportedly called Trump to get his endorsement for a clemency plea. Instead, the former president angrily accused her of voting for Biden, according to Karl’s book, “Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party.”
“Hell no,” the ex-president told Kardashian after hearing her request, per the book. “You voted for Biden and now you come asking me for a favor?”
“After a few more choice words, the line went dead. Trump had hung up on her,” Karl writes.
Did Kim K Vote For Joe Biden?
Kardashian has never said anything publicly about her choice in the 2020 presidential election.
But she did post a photo of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris with three blue emoji hearts as the caption on X, formerly known as Twitter at the time.
Maybe Kim K posted that photo of Biden and Harris to spite Trump.
Regardless, the book mentions another by Kardashian to reach out to Trump to grant some last-minute commutations before he left the White House.
According to the book, Trump allegedly told Kardashian he would help her out if she got some football players she is friendly with to visit the White House.
“Kardashian actually tried to do what Trump demanded, seeing it as a small price to pay to get justice for people she believed were serving unjust sentences,” Karl writes. “But all the players she approached declined. Trump had become too toxic. In the final two weeks of his presidency, nobody wanted to be anywhere near him.”
Welp.
Trump is such a salty loser.

Senator Tim Scott announced that he would be ending his campaign to be the Republican presidential nominee over the weekend, surprising many.
Republican Senator Tim Scott appeared on Fox News for an interview with former GOP politician and friend Trey Gowdy on Sunday (November 12) “I love America more today than I did on May 22. But when I go back to Iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. I am suspending my campaign,” he said while taking part in the interview from his home. “I think the voters, who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that they’re telling me, ‘Not now, Tim,’” Scott continued. “I don’t think they’re saying, Trey, ‘No.’ But I do think they’re saying, ‘Not now.’”
When asked by Gowdy if he would lend his support to any of the remaining candidates for the Republican primary, the lone Black candidate demurred and expressed that “the best way for me to be helpful” would be not to offer an endorsement. He also ruled out becoming a vice-presidential nominee. “I ran for president to be president,” he said. “I think I was called to run. I was not called to win, but I certainly was called to run. … Being vice president has never been on my to-do list for this campaign, and it’s certainly not there now.”
The news came as a surprise to many – including members of Scott’s own presidential campaign team and his donors who tuned in to Gowdy’s program. Scott did call his campaign aides after the interview to confirm his decision, sources close to the campaign said. One donor, metal mogul Andy Sabin said to reporters that he was “disappointed but not surprised” at Scott’s choice.
Scott’s decision comes after the last Republican debate, where he offered up a paltry showing in comparison to the other candidates. His campaign message which was imbued with positivity and an emphasis on conservative Christian values wasn’t going over well with voters who are still fixated on former President Donald Trump. Major donors had already been pulling ads for him at the beginning of October. “Tim ran an optimistic, hopeful message — but that’s not where the Republican base is right now,” an unnamed GOP official said. It also comes after Scott’s reported girlfriend attended the Miami debate, causing a flurry of questions over her identity.

Donald Trump is on the campaign trail and praised Lil Pump as one of his few boosters from the rap world during a recent rally.
On Wednesday (November 8), former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Hialeah, Florida. He did so instead of being present for another Republican presidential debate taking place in Miami. At one point in this speech, Trump took the time to show love to Lil Pump, who was in the audience of 5,200.
“He’s one of the few — rapper Lil Pump,” Trump said to the crowd. At that point, Lil Pump stood up and saluted the gathered audience as he sported the red “Make America Great Again” hat and a t-shirt boasting the former president’s mug shot from his ongoing New York civil fraud case with the slogan “Wanted: For President 2024.” The moment of recognition for Lil Pump was huge, as the “Gucci Gang” rapper has backed him from the beginning.
Trump does have burgeoning support among rappers who’ve been more vocal within the past couple of months about their love for the former commander-in-chief. Recently, Waka Flocka Flame wrote a post on X, formerly Twitter that said “TRUMP 2024.” The post led to a lot of buzz, as the “No Hands” rapper had previously been very opposed to Trump in the past. But a humanitarian award that he received from the Trump administration for his philanthropic efforts may have caused him to shift his perspective.
Kodak Black remains one of Donald Trump’s biggest fans, as he received a last-minute pardon from Trump in 2021 from continuing to serve time on a weapons charge. He reiterated his support and even expressed willingness to lend the former billionaire some money while appearing on a recent episode of the Drink Champs podcast. That appearance also led to friction between himself and Ray J, which Kodak addressed in a spirited Instagram Live session, at one point threatening to beat the singer up.
Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean took the political route for their Halloween costumes this year, taking to Instagram on Tuesday (Oct. 31) to share a skit in which they acted as Donald Trump and Joe Biden during a presidential debate.

Kodak Black wasn’t pleased with Ray J’s assessment of his Drink Champs appearance, threatening him via social media Sunday (Oct. 29).
The recent appearance of Kodak Black on the latest episode of the Drink Champs podcast hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, sparked a good amount of commentary on his behavior. It also caused some to express concern, with Ray J being one of the more vocal commenters. “Yo somebody need to grab bro and make sure he good,” Ray J wrote in a now-deleted post on Instagram after the episode aired. “This ain’t the interview Nore. We gotta help this dude. I took him to Trump house and he did the most. They were not happy with the experience bc he had no guidance and respect.” He also directly addressed the influential West Coast figure Wack 100. “Yo [Wack 100] let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self-destruct.”
The words of concern didn’t go over well at all with Kodak Black, who expressed his anger through an Instagram Live session. “Ray J your little a*s is a b*tch, homie” he snapped in the video. “I don’t need your help, p*ssy-a*s n*gga. I’m straight. F*ck wrong with you, homie? Beat your little a*s.” The ”No Flocking” rapper continued to curse out the singer and entrepreneur while walking around a residence, sometimes walking off camera.
“You had nothing to do with that Trump sh*t,” he continued. You had nothing to do with that Trump sh*t. They be hating that p**ssy-ass n*gga. You just want to go viral. You want to go viral on the street. Talking about you took me to Trump house. Who the f*ck you is? Trump got me out of prison, homie. You think I need you to take me to Trump’s [house]?”
The reference to former President Donald Trump stems from a dinner meeting that Ray J had with him in March of this year at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate a year after the rapper was pardoned by Trump. Video footage from that event showed Kodak Black, aka Bill Kahan Kapri, meeting Trump who asked him “How are you” as the two came face to face, even exchanging a fist bump as they briefly spoke. “It was the right thing to do,” Ray told Page Six of the New York Post at the time. “Trump pardoned him.”

Kodak Black is apparently still riding with former President Donald Trump, based on his remarks in a new interview.
Rapper Kodak Black was the latest guest on the Drink Champs podcast hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, and his recent comments regarding former President Donald Trump took center stage during the interview. N.O.R.E. brought him up while referencing the pardon that Kodak Black got in December 2020. “Yeah, I f**k with that boy. We ain’t even gotta talk too much about the sh*t,” he replied.
The “Super Gremlin” rapper had been incarcerated after pleading guilty to a firearm possession charge in 2019 after falsifying records on federal forms to obtain those guns in Florida. Trump would grant him a pardon, commuting his sentence. “He a Gemini like me — his birthday two days after my s–t,” Kodak Black continued. “And that boy, like, he be vibin’ out here too.” When N.O.R.E. then brought up Trump’s current financial troubles due to the massive civil fraud lawsuit in New York brought against him and his removal from the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, he asked if the 26-year-old would assist him with a million dollars. “Of course, n—a,” he replied.
Kodak Black, also known as Bill Kahan Kapri, has been a consistently vocal supporter of the twice-impeached former president. After being released from prison in January 2021, the rapper dropped a new track called “Last Day In”, giving Trump a shoutout. “Trump just freed me, but my favorite president is on the money/ All they hatin’ presidents has become evident to me.”
In an Instagram Live from earlier this year, he lauded Trump with praise when comparing him to other Republican candidates for President. “I feel like these people on some other sh*t,” Kodak said. “So they know like, they gon’ try to get Trump out the way ’cause Trump a stand-up ni**a, he a real ni**a. He’ll let a bi**h do anything… Trump a real ni**a, man, a soldier.”
