Infowars host Alex Jones appearing in court this week for the Sandy Hook Defamation trial didn't go well. The court ordered he must pay $4.1 million to the Sandy Hook parents of the victims.
Anticipating things to turn sour, he filed bankruptcy last Friday and gets subpoena for fraud.
That's a double whammy.

But wait! There's more... he's also being subpoenaed for his role in the insurrection.
You know one on January 6th that didn't happen!

I smell a TRIPLE WHAMMY...

Let that soak in as Lady Karma has been watching while he sleeps!

Over the weekend, Houston's Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner held a gun buyback event in a church parking lot where residents could turn in their firearms and receive a gift card ranging from $50 to $200 with no questions asked. According to the Mayor's announcement, the funds provided to those turning in firearms came from the American Rescue Plan — aka American taxpayers — and the amount-per-firearm was $50.00 for a non-functioning firearm, $100.00 for a rifle or shotgun, $150.00 for a handgun, and $200.00 for a fully automatic rifle.

Heralded as a success by the mayor and hyped up by the liberal Houston Chronicle, the event on Saturday saw 845 guns bought back and some $100,000 in gift card payments given. But the alleged success isn't exactly what it seems.

The FAQ section for the buyback noted that there's no limit on the number of firearms that could be turned in by an individual, nor was there any restriction on the types of handguns, as long as they're functioning. Enter some creative and apparently entrepreneurial individuals who saw an opening and decided to make some extra cash.

Photos and videos from the event show authorities unloading boxes of... fresh 3D-printed firearms.

One man showed up to the buyback with dozens of 3D-printed firearms, and Houston authorities had no choice but to accept them and hand over gift cards in return. The real kicker: it only cost the man $3 to print each firearm, of which he made 62, and received $50 per 3D-printed gun for a total of nearly $3,000 in gift cards.

FOX 26 caught up with the man, who remained anonymous, and asked him why he 3D-printed a bunch of firearms to sell back to Houston authorities. "The goal was not personal profit, but to send [Houston leaders] a message about spending $1 million tax dollars on something that has no evidence of any effect on crime," he said.

Still, Houston's mayor thinks his buyback program will convince criminals and gang members to hand over their firearms for as little as $50.

...has been found guilty on all counts.

Sentencing to follow at a later date.

Shrinkflation describes manufacturers making small changes to products, usually in quantity or size so the selling price remains the same.
An example would be a “Party Size” bag of corn chips used to be 18 ounces and now it's 15.5 ounces.

I noticed this with the bar soap I've been using for years. It was out of stock in a few stores for months and now the bars are smaller but the box is the same size.

Expect more of shrinkflation to come!

Okay, reaching over for a watermelon at the back of the bin wasn't such a good idea...
Stretching only aggravates the condition.

The United States killed Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri in a drone strike over the weekend, two people briefed on the operation told POLITICO.

In a statement to reporters, a senior administration official said “over the weekend, the United States conducted a counterterrorism operation against a significant Al Qaeda target in Afghanistan. The operation was successful and there were no civilian casualties.”

One of the people briefed on the operation said the strike in Kabul was led by the CIA.

Huh? Sunscreen is supposed to prevent cancer from exposure to the sun. In this case, it's trace amounts of benzene, a chemical which can cause cancer with repeated exposure.

On weekends, I'm in the sun on and off for hours and stopped using sunscreen because I was getting red blotches on my skin. There could be a correlation.

Recently, Banana Boat Hair and Scalp Spray SPF 30 was pulled from shelves.
"This recall comes a little over a year after Johnson & Johnson recalled five sunscreens because they were found to contain benzene. That recall included Aveeno and Neutrogena products in aerosol cans."

The first reader comment:
How many years was benzene used in these products before?
