Peaceful protester killed protesting the US coup . At some point a persons death will be the first in the next US civil war . Was Ashli's the first death in the second US civil war ? How many more good people will die before communism is destroyed in the US .

Trump acknowledges Ashli's birthday

Here's the New York Post's take on it.




And here's the Washington Post's opinion on it.




In my opinion, Biden appears to confuse Trump with former president George W. Bush when talking with George Lopez when he said " Four more years of George, uh, George, uh, he, uh, are going to find ourselves in position where if uh Trump gets elected uh we are going to be uh, going to be in a different world.”

Here's the video, you decide!

...Yes. Well, anyone who's (or whose, for certain females) caught my act here knows what a homophobic, xenophobic, transgenderophobic, misogenist, racist, sexist, etc. old wanker I am. And I know how smug the feelings of moral superiority grow, when some use these terms. Images of the fat little landlord, cigar in cake hole, on the way to collect exorbitant rents, fine threads and top hat going, kicking the many poor little urchins out of the way as I go, counting the cash and mumbling. But unlike the other side, who'd rather die than admit any good on the right side of politics, I'm critical of my hero President Trump at times, and have praise for the benefits of progressive policies. Incidentally, their behavior is a major feature of Trump Derangement-Hilary Deficit Syndromes. Now I do digress, but I ask, can one get any more left than Castro's slave state of Cuba?`They fight free market think still, and broadcast propaganda on the short wave frequencies, while China and Russia have long abandoned the workers' paradise corrupt policies, that planned production and one political party bring. Well, having worked in the neighborhood, it's a place I know a thing or two about, especially their health system. Just the facts, ma'am. As soon as Fidel banished CIA puppet Batista, he saw the many needs of his people, not least of which were poor nutrition, illiteracy, and almost no functioning health system, unless one was rich. Between summary executions of rivals, and banging every skirt in Havana, he acted. So a system was created, de novo, based on broad principles of public health. Their medical schools cost next to nothing to attend, and lead to the MD after six years of study, which involves lots of time in rural clinics, in and out of country. They do have technology, but still place great emphasis on physical diagnosis, long poopooed in many other undergraduate medical schools. But there are two other remarkable little know things. Each year, a gaggle of USA students are accepted to train there, at no cost, and must only agree to work after graduating in places of great need. Pretty slick, since the training is good enough for US licensure, and subsequent US residency training. But here's the kicker. Cuba's top biomedical scientists were sent for training to the world's top centers for molecular biology and genetics, returning to start value oriented focused research programs. There have been striking discoveries, especially regarding the crab. For instance, one novel vaccine based treatment, for some advanced stage lung cancer patients, has turned a death sentence into a long standing chronic illness. Slick. So much so, that one of our premier cancer research centers, Roswell Park Institute in upstate New York, (a tiny spinoff of the famous Vierk Institutes), has gotten approval from the Trump Menstruation, to build a new research facility near Havana. For those who like apples, how's them for hate filled apples?

Mike Bloomberg suspends presidential campaign after Super Tuesday flop.

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg suspended his presidential campaign Wednesday after spending record amounts from his own fortune on an ad-blitz strategy that failed to yield any wins on Super Tuesday beyond a single victory in the American Samoa caucuses.

He immediately announced he would be endorsing Joe Biden, following in the footsteps of other moderate-leaning Democratic presidential candidates who have consolidated support behind the former vice president in his primary brawl against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Yesterday, Biden couldn't remember Romney's name, so he called him "that Mormon guy".

...of the Vierk Mansions...

... "Biden for (p)RESIDENT...of assisted care. "The "R" on the word resident is upper case class . Sort of like me. Passes, strategically, for "President".
So at first the alt lefties passing by have a time of it, trying to reconcile this home made gem, with the other GOP signage, in front of all those parked Bentlys. And Rolls.
But soon enough they get it. Of course, the right wingers crack up, and some even come in to say how apt it all is. All wanting to bump elbows.
But here's the kicker. Even the ueber lefties chuckle some.
Easily identifiable, these syndromic Dems. Done so by the glad rags, little rat dogs, and chests full of campaign buttons. More than we see on the chests of banana republic generals, none of whom have seen the elephant. But I digress.

In broad daylight, a peaceful protestor was shot and killed by a self-proclaimed ANTIFA/BLM member RIGHT IN FRONT OF POLICE!
Biden called ANTIFA "just an idea"...Right. what an A**!!!! Maybe HE should tell this man's family that "an idea" killed their Husband/Father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When are people gong to get their heads out of their a**es and recognize the THREAT that these people pose to ALL OF US????????????????????????????????????

Cindy, wife of the deceased former war hero, John McCain, joins a long list of Republicans who understand the importance of electing Joe Biden in the upcoming election to ensure the survival of our nation and the integrity of the government, as well as having a lot of bipartisan experience necessary to bring people together to accomplish shared goals and heal the nation.

From Axios;

A North Carolina man, sentenced to 80 years in prison for rape and burglary, was released last week after spending 44 years behind bars. A federal appeals court determined that Ronnie Long, who has always maintained his innocence, had been a victim of "extreme and continuous police misconduct."

Long, 64, was suddenly released late last week after the State of North Carolina admitted it could no longer defend the case, and asked a court to vacate his convictions.

The state's abrupt and unexpected reversal on this case came after a federal appeals court said last week that Long had been a victim of "extreme and continuous police misconduct."

With that, Long's four-decade battle for freedom was suddenly over.

"To be able to walk out of them gates without being supervised, it was breathtaking," Long said.

When his lawyer, Jamie Lau, with Duke University Law School's Wrongful Convictions Clinic, first called with the news, Long couldn't quite believe he was really going home.

"'You serious?'" Long recalled saying. "The state can't go back on their word? They gonna stick to what they say?"

In fact, the state kept its word, finally ending Long's 44-year quest to clear his name.


It began in May of 1976 when Long, a Black man, was accused of breaking into a home in Concord, North Carolina and raping a 54-year-old White woman, Sarah Bost.

Although there was no physical evidence tying Long to the crime, he was convicted by an all-White jury, and given an 80-year sentence.

"I feel as though the criminal justice system here in this state failed me," Long said.

He left a North Carolina prison last Thursday in sartorial style, thanks to friends and family waiting outside who'd never lost faith in his innocence.

"I feel as though the criminal justice system here in this state failed me," Long said.


It was only after spending nearly 30 years in prison that Long learned that Concord police investigators had tested more than a dozen pieces of evidence, and had hidden the results. That evidence, as attorney Lau described in an interview last month, supported Long's innocence.

Moriarty asked, "Did the defense at trial know that there were 43 fingerprints found at the crime scene that didn't match Ronnie Long?"

"They did not," Lau replied.

"Did the defense know that there had actually been a rape kit taken and evidence taken from the victim?"

"They did not."

"Did the defense know that a hair that was found at the crime scene did not match Ronnie Long?"

"They did not," Lau said.

But attorneys for the state argued that none of this would have changed the original verdict, and Long remained in prison, despite growing protests and demands for his release.


Long said, "I'm 64, going on 65. They took my life away from me when I was 20 years old. I ain't got nothing but memories. But yet, and still, you say the evidence collected in the case was immaterial?"

Until last week, when the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals finally ruled that Long's rights had been violated by "a troubling and striking pattern of deliberate police suppression of material evidence."

The North Carolina Attorney General's office decided to no longer fight the case, and asked for Long's release.
