IRAN'S retaliation against Israel for the embassy attack, was inevitable. They said they would do something, and they were then obliged to act. But, they knew that their drones and missiles would be shot down. America warned everyone in advance and so Israel etc were prepared. It took about 8 hours for the missiles to reach the appropriate air space, and then strangely enough, some Arab countries joined in to shoot them down. Iran is no doubt not liked in the middle East and perhaps the message has got home.

Evil, evil, evil, everywhere you look. It's all around us, everywhere. I can't walk down the street without tripping over Satanists and homosexual predators. Where did they all come from? I thought we had enough on our plate with the leftie Liberal commie snowflakes baying at the door, but now somebody's opened the gates of Hell, and not a godamned exorcist in sight.

Borrowed from a friend!

You see Trump’s arrogance, I see Trump’s confidence. You see Trump’s nationalism, I see Trump’s patriotism. You hear Trump’s unsophisticated words, I hear Trump’s honesty. You see Trump’s racism, I see Trump’s words being misconstrued and twisted by the media daily to fit their narrative. You see Trump as a Republican, I see Trump as a Patriot. You see Trump as a dictator, I see Trump as a leader. You see Trump as an Authoritarian, I see Trump as the only one willing to fight for our freedoms. You see Trump as an unpolished politician, I see Trump as a breath of fresh air. You think Trump hates immigrants, I know Trump is married to an immigrant. You see Trump putting an end to immigration in America, I see Trump welcoming immigrants to America LEGALLY. You see Trump’s cages at the border, I see Obama’s cages at the border. You see Trump with a struggling economy, I see Trump with an amazing economy until the Democrats shut it down. You see the violence in the streets and call it “Trump’s America”, I see the violence in the streets of Democratic run cities who are refusing Trump’s help and call it “Liberal America.” You want someone more Presidential, I’m happy we have someone who finally doesn’t just talk the talk but actually walks the walk. You and I? We see things very differently.

(CNN)A Black Louisiana man will spend the rest of his life in prison for stealing hedge clippers, after the Louisiana Supreme Court denied his request to have his sentence overturned last week.

Fair Wayne Bryant, 62, was convicted in 1997 on one count of attempted simple burglary. In his appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Louisiana in 2018, his attorney, Peggy Sullivan, wrote that Bryant "contends that his life sentence is unconstitutionally harsh and excessive."
Last week, though, the state Supreme Court disagreed -- with five justices choosing to uphold the life sentence.
The lone dissenter in the decision was Supreme Court Chief Justice Bernette Johnson, who wrote that "the sentence imposed is excessive and disproportionate to the offense the defendant committed."
Johnson is the only female and Black person on the court. The rest of the justices are White men.
The sentence is sanctioned under the habitual offender law, Johnson noted in her dissent, meaning that Bryant's previous criminal history supports the sentence.
Bryant was convicted in 1979 for attempted armed robbery, in 1987 for possession of stolen things, attempted forgery of a check worth $150 in 1989 and for simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling in 1992, all before his 1997 arrest for the failed attempt at stealing the hedge clippers.
But Johnson also mentioned the cost associated with Bryant's sentence, writing that in his 23 years in prison, he has cost Louisiana taxpayers over $500,000.
"If he lives another 20 years, Louisiana taxpayers will have paid almost one million dollars to punish Mr. Bryant for his failed effort to steal a set of hedge clippers," she wrote.
Bryant's sentence is a "modern manifestation" of "pig laws," which were created in the years after Reconstruction, Johnson also said. The laws "criminalized recently emancipated African American citizens by introducing extreme sentences for petty theft associated with poverty," she wrote.
"This man's life sentence for a failed attempt to steal a set of 3 hedge clippers is grossly out of proportion to the crime and serves no legitimate penal purpose," Johnson wrote.
While Johnson said she would grant the appeal, five justices denied it and one abstained.
Sullivan, Bryant's appellate attorney, told CNN she agrees with Johnson's dissent.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—According to sources in the Biden campaign, the presidential candidate is on pins and needles waiting to see who it is he picked to run for vice president on his ticket.


Campaign aides say it's been Biden's most anticipated event since he found out he was running for president a few weeks ago.

A reporter asked Biden if he could hint about his VP pick during a brief interlude from his stay in the basement, where he was allowed to come upstairs to get some snacks.

"Oh boy -- I hope it's a real classy broad," he said as he drank straight from the milk jug. "I bet I picked somebody good and smart. A chick with class and style. You know, in my day, dames were dames and guys were guys. None of this 'guys becoming dolls' and 'dolls becoming guys' stuff. We would go down to the hop and do the mashed potato. You know, there's lots of good nnnn-- nutrients and stuff in potatoes. Potato is a funny word."

"Po - ta - to."

"OK, Joe, let's go," said an aide, shoving him down into the basement. "What Joe was trying to say is that he's chosen a well-qualified candidate who will run the country -- err, I mean, help him run the country -- with excellence."

Wow Wow Wow! Incredible exposé by SpyGate insider Steven Schrage on Stephan Halper and other key players in the most devious political dirty tricks operation in modern history (carried out against the Trump campaign). Must read!

Well three cheers for some Ozzies at least, who are not going quietly into that dark night of medically-induced totalitarianism.

"How dare you stand up and try and silence debate in the House because of some ideological view that you may have," says Craig Kelly.

Evidently, the Globalists can't have a cheap and effective Ivermectin treatment interfering with their massive Jab profits (even as Jab deaths and adverse events pile up.)

Cheers tah Kelly with a pint of Foster's lager, and that's fair dinkum, Mate.

Declaring Imran Khan guilty without a trial in the cipher case proves that *Imran Khan was and is honest, no evidence of corruption was found against him. The liar who spreads this lie that I have evidence of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi's corruption is a traitor and Allah has cursed the liar in Quran. * The cipher was indeed true. Whoever called it a lie is a liar himself and the curse of Allah is on the liar. * Supreme Court judge Faiz Isa or younger Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain are all assets of the army. There is a serious lack of honor in the entire system. Army is absolutely scared of Imran Khan at this time. Hands and feet are swollen. Every rogue and rogue is doing actions but the system is still not under control.

Herschel Walker is running for office. The position is the Georgia senate. His party is Republican and it's important for Republicans that he gets this win. His stance is anti-abortion. Digging into Herschel Walker’s past, finds a unidentified woman claimed he paid for her abortion years ago. She produced a receipt from the clinic and his get well card.
On video, he denied knowing of such woman. Less than 2 weeks later, it was revealed, not only did he know the woman, they had a child together.
Trumps is supporting Herschel... well, he was and is now laying low waiting for the dust to settle.
Other Republicans need this all-important win. So, they don't really care about his shady background as he's made claims for other things that he cannot substantiate.

Walker is a former American football running back who played professionally 12 seasons and I found it funny someone commented he must be suffering from head trauma and PTSD.
Herschel... they're on your side no matter what you have to bring to the table. Forget about moral fiber, Christian values and all those cool phrases. Don't worry about the claims of domestic violence, the four children from four different women you sired. All that should be a good background for a politician, especially with zero background in what's involved holding a position in public office!

Hopefully, you won't forget other issues so important as who's your daddy, baby momma or whatever they call it.
