Federal Judge has stern words for Michael Flynn

Judge unloads on Michael Flynn in scathing remarks: ‘I can’t hide my disgust’

A federal judge has unloaded on Donald Trump’s ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn during a court hearing on Tuesday over an agreement he and his lawyers made seeking no jail time in exchange for his cooperation.
Judge Emmett Sullivan, who has presided over Flynn’s sentencing for lying to the FBI about his secret work for the Turkish government before joining the Trump administration, slammed the retired three-star general during a final hearing.
The judge said Flynn’s secretive work for a foreign government “arguably” undermined “everything this flag over here stands for” while motioning towards a US flag in the Washington courtroom.
“I am going to be frank with you, this crime is very serious,” Judge Sullivan said to Flynn. “I can’t hide my disgust, my disdain, at this criminal offense.”
Flynn was one of the several dozen Trump associates caught up in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, along with other allies of the president ensnared on tax crimes and other various bank and money laundering scams, from former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen, to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and Rick Gates, the president’s former campaign chairman.
He has since attempted to claim that he was tricked into having a conversation with FBI investigators which he described as a “chat” rather than an interrogation — a point the judge skewered as a falsity while rebuking the former general.
Flynn, who was recently pardoned by the president, has stirred controversy in recent days over his calls for Mr Trump to overturn his electoral defeat with the help of the US military.
“There is no way in the world we are going to be able to move forward as a nation,” Flynn said. “[The president] could immediately, on his order, seize every single one of these machines.”
“Within the swing states,” he added, “if he wanted to, he could take military capabilities, and he could place those in states and basically rerun an election in each of those states.”

Happy Birthday to the oldest WWII US Veteran with perhaps something to learn about aging well
Last night from The Washington Post;

America's oldest World War II vet just turned 112. He stood from his wheelchair and danced

Every birthday is a milestone after 100 - especially for the oldest World War II veteran in the United States.
Lawrence Brooks turned 112 on Sept. 12 with a boisterous party outside his New Orleans home, including a vehicle parade, two brass bands and, of course, his favorite chocolate cake.
At one point during the hour-long celebration, Brooks confidently rose from his wheelchair. He danced, he smiled and he waved.
This is his third year as a supercentenarian - meaning age 110 and older.
"We like to tell him, 'Mr. Brooks, as long as you keep having birthdays, we're going to keep throwing your birthday party,' " said Peter Crean, a vice president at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans.
The event was orchestrated by the museum, which has thrown Brooks a birthday celebration for the past eight years.
"He is a fixture here at the museum, but also in the community," Crean said. "He is a wonderful human being who is inspiring to everyone he meets."
Brooks, born in Norwood, La., in 1909, was one of 15 children. He was drafted in 1940 and served until 1945 as a private in the predominantly Black 91st Engineer Battalion, which was stationed in New Guinea and the Philippines.
"We was building roads, bridges and airstrips for planes to land," Brooks recalled in a 2018 video.
After the war, Brooks - who was unable to participate in an interview with The Washington Post because of recent health challenges - worked as a forklift operator until retiring in his 70s.
Brooks is the beloved patriarch of his family: He has five children, 13 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. His wife, Leona B. Brooks, died in 2008.
The National World War II Museum first connected with Brooks in 2013, after a volunteer introduced him to staff.
"He was coming up on his 105th birthday. It was pretty remarkable, and we thought we should have some sort of celebration," Crean said.
"Mr. Brooks represents a generation that saved the world that we know. He was one of 16 million Americans who did his part for his country and the world to make it a better place," Crean said. "He is important to this museum, this city, and he is also important to our country."
So staff began organizing yearly birthday parties for Brooks, all of which - aside from the past two - were at the museum. Each year, the museum hosts a special ceremony honoring Brooks, followed by several musical performances and sweet treats.
Last year, the pandemic forced the museum to put Brooks's traditional birthday festivities on pause, but it refused to cancel the event entirely.
Instead, it brought the party to his doorstep and organized a drive-by parade outside his home, where he lives with his daughter. The museum also campaigned to collect birthday cards, and more than 21,000 notes poured in from around the world.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, and amid the ongoing pandemic, the museum mobilized to throw Brooks another socially distanced, outdoor birthday party to mark his 112th.
This year's celebration was the first time Brooks had used a wheelchair. Every other year he walked with a cane.
"He's beginning to slow down," Crean said, adding that Brooks stayed in Veterans Affairs Hospital during the hurricane to ensure he would have proper electricity and air conditioning. Still, "he is in remarkably good shape for 112. He is vibrant."
The party featured musical performances from the museum's vocal trio, the Victory Belles, as well as several other local musicians....

SHOCKING email .in my box...
as i am not allowed to post of the senders name.......but....as mail says he is living in Saudi Arabia....
the mail reads as this.............i think sex is the best thing in the world i wish all i could do all day is have sex. i think we should all be able to have sex all day, dont you agree. people take too much time during other things when they should be having sex all day & night long. i wish i were the president of the united states, i would make a law that prohibits people from working long hours during the week. we need to take more time for sex. sex is the best thing since sliced bread dont you agree? we should also come together as a peolpe and vote se 3 x as americas past time.
not baseball, who wants to play baseball when you could have sex all day and night long. my second reason for thinking this way is that women love sex too much not to do it all day long. i wish i could change the society pictures having an o*gasm. i think all black peolpe should come together and vote sex as the number one thing to do in our homes.
we should raise all people to respect sex and everything it has to offer. people dont realize what they are missing out on. the finer things in life come at a price, and o*al sex, or plutonic sex are all great things to do while keeping the devils mind idle. i think i will teach my kids to have sex for a living, it will make them a better person.....................

Careful what you wish for
All this focus on Tantra . . . well damn, I finally got it unexpectedly.
1 MAJOR problem.
Dude lives in fcking NY. I've lived in NY before. I am NOT a fan.
The only state on the eastern U.S. that I'm even cool with, is North Carolina
but . . .I will never live there again. I'm done with snow.
I wanna be surrounded by cacti and sand.
Now if I can somehow manage to get a combination of some tantric
partner that either already lives out west, or is at least open to moving
west . . .then that would be amazing

soar
I know my time may be short in this game
Unless I am a valuable player
Most valuable player?
I was never good at sports
I'm glad this isn't a sport
The game is one on one
So far
A fencing match?
A boxing match?
Why can't it be
Cross country riding under sunny skies?
I imagine the rush
Leaping rails and hedges
Powerful energy pushing and pressing
Reaching heights
Higher than I ever imagined
To soar like a hawk
Wings stretched to touch clouds
Breathless
While things below grow smaller
And what makes as soar grows larger
Riding the emotions of someone new, heaven
I know this will pass
As scenery passes with every beat
Of wings, spread
Touching moon and sun
A climax of thunder and rain, flooding earth
