Well done, David!
I at first thought it was the Babylon bee.
Good! The whole country should follow suit!
If a Vaccine Passport is necessary for the first 2 shots, are we going to be required to carry the vaccine & update it with the 3rd booster, 4th booster....our annual booster?
“You haven’t gotten a booster yet tin 2025, you are not allowed to order a cheeseburger in my restaurant”
Family of Ashli Babbitt Suing Capitol Police for $10M, Claim Officer ‘Ambushed’ Her
by Jonathan Davis about 2 hours ago

The family of Ashli Babbitt, the unarmed Air Force veteran killed while attempting to breach a door to the House chamber during the Jan. 6 Capitol Building riot, is suing over her death.
Babbitt, 35, who served in uniform for 12 years and was an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, was shot by a still-unnamed Capitol Police officer in an “ambush,” according to the family attorney, Terry Roberts.
At the center of the debate over the shooting, which was caught on video and went viral the day of the breach, is what Roberts says was a lack of warning by the officer.
The video shows an officer off to the left of Babbitt as she attempted to climb through the panel of a door whose glass had been shattered.
The officer is seen emerging, handgun drawn, then firing a single shot, after which Babbitt fell back through the opening to the floor before being attended to by other rioters. Shot near the upper shoulder and neck area, she would later die from her wound.
Roberts, a personal injury attorney who specializes in cases of police misconduct, disagrees with the officer’s lawyer who said his client yelled a verbal warning to Babbitt before firing on her.
“It’s not debatable,” Roberts told RealClearInvestigations. “There was no warning.”
Six months after the incident, Capitol Police still have not released the officer’s name.
“…Several sources have identified him as Lt. Michael L. Byrd, a 53-year-old veteran of the force who was serving as commander of the House Chamber Section of the Capitol Police on Jan. 6. He has not returned to duty and remains on paid administrative leave,” RealClearInvestigations reported.
Whoever the officer is that fired on Babbitt has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Justice Department.
“It’s not debatable. There was no warning. I would call what he did an ambush. I don’t think he’s a good officer. I think he’s reckless,” Roberts said.
He added that according to the viral video, no one in the vicinity of Babbitt is seen scrambling for cover or otherwise trying to get out of any line of fire.
“If he’s yelling, they certainly aren’t showing any reaction to it. If he was giving any kind of warning, why didn’t they react?” Roberts continued.
The officer’s attorney disagreed, however.
“It’s a false narrative that he issued no verbal commands or warnings,” Mark Schamel, the officer’s lawyer, told the outlet. “He was screaming, ‘Stay back! Stay back! Don’t come in here!”
Schamel also said that the officer was within his rights to fire on Babbitt.
“He was acting within his training. Lethal force is appropriate if the situation puts you or others in fear of imminent bodily harm,” he said.
“There should be a training video on how he handled that situation. What he did was unbelievable heroism,” Schamel added.
But others disagreed, including a former Capitol Police officer.
“I’m not sure how he was justified shooting her when there was a SWAT team right behind her,” the officer told RealClearPolitics. “They saw no immediate threat.”
Roberts said the officer who fired could have chosen instead to retreat if he feared for his life, as other officers on his side of the doorway did.
The suit will seek more than $10 million in damages from the officer and the Capitol Police department, reports added.
This suit has to happen.
The Babbitt family has been stonewalled at every turn.
I read that they couldn’t even get the name of who shot Ashli.
If it was a good shoot why was that?
Hopefully we will learn more as this case goes forward.
Praying that the good Lord will protect and help Ashli’s family in their endeavors.
How are you doing today, Jane?
Biden was just on TV saying that he has vaccinated 350 million people in the US, he repeated the number 350 million twice.
The only problem is there aren’t even 350 million peeps in the US.
The current population of the United States of America is 332,987,277 as of Sunday, July 11, 2021, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data. the United States 2020 population is estimated at 331,002,651 people at mid year according to UN data.

Doing good, Gran...how’s everything in sunny AZ/your neck of the woods?
Maybe Creeper Joe is counting all of the voters who voted for him, as ‘vax’d, too.
🤷♀️
🙃
Things are great here and going to be a warm one for us,
90°.
You know I think you are on to something there.
Isn’t that part of the “fuzzy math” taught in our public schools?
Yes....I believe it’s part of the CommieCore curriculum, now 🤣
I’ll take YOUR 90º, over OUR 90º.....ours has a “feels like” 101º attached to it 🥵

BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis responds to Biden’s “Governor Who?” jab with another EPIC beatdown.
“What else has Biden forgotten? The Border. Inflation. Cuban Freedom Fighters. The Constitution?
I’m the GOVERNOR WHO protects parents, jobs and answers to Floridians, not DC” 🔥
ZOT, POP ......DeSantis just sizzled CornPop 🌽⚡️ 🔥
I saw this on Fox last night. The Fox video is in this report if you scroll down a bit.
He is one evil man along with a lot of others.
Fantastic video of a Physican Assistant addressing a school board with pure facts of all things covid.
I know Biden thought he was too cleaver when he was asked about DeSantis and he shot back, “Who?”
But Biden is picking on the wrong guy.
DeSantis fights back just like Trump.💥
Do you have high humidity?
Ours is only 37%
I missed it on Fox, but I hope a lot of people saw it. If anything will make people mad, it is experiments & mistreating dogs.
Dan Bongino Says Secret Service Agents Told Him Biden’s In ‘Significant Trouble’
Martin Walsh August 6, 2021

Conservative pundit Dan Bongino says his sources in the Secret Service have told him that Joe Biden’s mental state is deteriorating to the point that is more than just a little problematic.
Bongino began the segment by recalling how before the November election, he had been told by agency sources that Biden’s mental acuity was rapidly deteriorating.
“Not a joke and not hyperbole – I’m hearing from people close to the situation that Biden’s cognitive decline is rapidly worsening and is becoming increasingly difficult to mask. The Democrats are going to have to make a decision soon,” Bongino tweeted (his account is no longer live).
Continuing with his interview, Bongino said it gave him “no joy in saying this and I mean that: [Biden] is in real significant trouble. And listen to me — everyone around him, everyone knows it. Everyone knows it. This is the scandal — that they’re not telling you how bad his condition is.
Bongino went on to say that even sources he has outside of the Secret Service but who are still in Biden’s orbit know that he’s not just ‘lost a step’ but he’s lost the ability to function adequately (ever wonder why we don’t see him but every couple of days and only then for a little bit at a time versus Trump who was large and in charge 24/7).
“It’s not a mystery. It’s the worst-kept secret in the White House,” Bongino said.
The former White House doctor who served for both former President Obama and for Donald Trump has issued a dire warning about Joe Biden.

It is a wonder I didn’t get reported. I took pictures of my grandkids running around naked in the backyard playing and I took pictures of them in the bath. That was 32 yrs ago though but I think the reporting was being started back then.
