A good start:

(But I bet they find the money, somehow, to buy them anyway, even without being able to use food stamps for them…)

Nebraska bans the purchase of soda and energy drinks from SNAP program.

Useta be that you could only buy real, nutritious, food with food stamps. I hope that this idea spreads, Ideally, no prepared foods, no sugary drinks, no baked goods, no frozen pizza or “lunchables”, etc. Just meat, cheese, vegetables and pasta and suchlike.

I wonder if we really want them?

I mean, all these new refugees from South Africa….These are the ones, the white farmers and business owners who weren’t smart enough or forward thinking enough to leave when they had their chances years ago.

Do we really need more short sighted refugees coming her into the country?

Overheard at breakfast:

“The Mexican Nay ship wreck in New York?  sad, but it shows that perhaps the Mexicans should stick to wading across rivers instead”.

 

Poor taste, perhaps, but funny, nonetheless. I may have spit my coffee across the table.

That must have been a fairly sophisticated bomb….

I mean, whoever built the bomb that was used in the attack on the Palm Springs Fertility Clinic did a good job.

If you look carefully, you might notice that the force of the explosion was almost entirely unidirectional. Not out to the sides so much, but almost exactly and entirely forward. (look at the overhead photos)

This was a fairly sophisticated engineered device. Not just a gob of explosives in a car.

 

Can someone explain to me

How, except for Character Assassination, the current testimony in Sean (P-Diddy) Combs’s trial is relevant to his criminal charges?

 

He is accused of/Charged with Racketeering, Sex Trafficking, and Transportation of Prostitutes.

How is the testimony of his girlfriend, who chose to stay with him for over 10 years and who willingly participated in the freaky stuff (and it was, apparently pretty freaky), relevant to his criminal trial? ETA: She claims she didn’t leave because she “Didn’t have the resources to leave”…..that should show her character right there.

 

This is similar to the other trials wherein someone chose to attack a rich black man who wouldn’t toe the line, I think. They destroyed the reputation as part of the punishment.

This testimony is not about the crimes, but rather to make him look bad. A real judge who was looking for the truth would question the relevance or  would not allow it.
