As judges hand down one absurd sentence after another, one might be inclined to laugh at the absurdity of it all except, of course, it’s not funny. The Department of Justice carefully crafted the dramatic moment in court. A federal prosecutor handed an enclosed paper bag to an FBI agent responsible for investigating members of the Proud Boys, now on trial for seditious conspiracy related to their participation in the events of January 6. The bag contained “evidence of the unlawful entry of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 and evidence of the disruption to the certification of...

Translation through Google: TRIBUN-TIMUR.COM - The crew of the Russian BMP with the new Berezhok combat module carried out its last heroic battle, but was surrounded by the enemy. The recording was widely circulated on Telegram Social Media on Wednesday (1/2/2023). The American mercenary posted a new footage with the continuation of the battle and explaining what happened. Russian troops from the ambushed BMP eventually take up defenses in a house, which the American mercenaries begin to raid without success. The Americans took a loss and offered to negotiate, when one of the Russian soldiers came out the American appeared...

I have no idea who this retired Air Force Officer is or what his qualifications are in order to make these claims, I mentioned this possibility in another thread about the balloon earlier and most didn't think this particular balloon was capable of carrying a nuclear device, instead of launching an ICBM which would be detectable early in flight and taken much more seriously, a balloon which the USA doesn't appear to take seriously, could invade US airspace unopposed and be positioned over the middle of the USA and create real problems, evidently this particular balloon has the ability to...

Tucker Carlson began his top-rated Fox News program with a startling and disturbing comparison of the treatment of Joe Biden's family with the way that children of dictators are treated in places like Iraq under Saddam. (Hasty transcription by me.) [Partial transcript in post #1][Video clip at source link] Tucker went on to discuss Hunter Biden's laptop, abandoned at John Paul Mac Isaac's repair shop in Delaware, and Hunter's lawyers' yesterday demanding that the both the federal government and the state government of Delaware prosecute him for "crimes" that were unspecified but, as Beria told Stalin, can always be dredged...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMark 1Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy40 A man with leprosy[h] came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”41 Jesus was indignant.[i] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. 43 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44 “See that you don’t tell this to anyone.

The 5th Dimension Up, Up and Away

NEW DELHI -- The recent conclusion of India's longest-running legal dispute -- after 72 years and by a judge who was not even born when the case began -- has sparked renewed calls for solutions to speed up the country's snarled judicial system. The case, which involved the liquidation of the former Berhampore Bank in Kolkata, started after the city's High Court ordered the insolvent institution to wind up operations on Nov. 19, 1948. But a maelstrom of litigation to recover money from debtors left the matter unresolved for seven decades, until January. For the public, the key takeaway has...

Classified documents, everywhere, and by everyone: Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Mike Pence… and the list keeps growing. Now there are questions about Barack Obama, who took 30,000,000 documents to his Presidential library (it’s doubtful he even knows what he has) and who has ignored the National Archive’s requests for their return. This is just more evidence of what the American people have learned really exists: The Deep State. The Deep State successfully ousted Trump with constant leaks and political chicanery against a sitting president, all to foment distrust and dishonor, and to make his life and office a living Hades....

WAYNE COUNTY, N.C. — Arguments began Monday in the trial of a former teacher accused of molesting two 11-year-old female students at a Christian school in Wayne County in the mid-1990s. 53-year-old Warren Riley is charged with multiple counts of indecent liberties with a child. On the first day of arguments, one of his alleged victims took the stand to lay out the abuse she claims she suffered. Riley was arrested in August 2020 and charged with abuse stemming from his time teaching at Faith Christian Academy in Goldsboro. The trial began with opening statements. Prosecutors told the jury that...

The Biden administration took a first step Friday toward ending federal protections for grizzly bears in the northern Rocky Mountains, which would open the door to future hunting in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.... Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte welcomed the administration’s announcement and said it could lead to the state reclaiming management of a species that’s been under federal protections since 1975. He said the grizzly’s recovery "represents a conservation success." The federal government removed protections for the Yellowstone ecosystem’s grizzlies in 2017. Wyoming and Idaho were set to allow grizzlies to be hunted when a judge restored those protections in...

President Biden sought to contrast his administration's accomplishments with House Republicans' agenda Friday night during the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting in Philadelphia Friday... On the economy, the president particularly highlighted his administration's focus on manufacturing jobs, and on buying American products, before shifting gears in an effort to contrast his administration with House Republicans. "Jobs are up, wages are up, inflation is down," he said. "COVID no longer controls our lives. But now, the extreme MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives have made it clear they intend to put it all at risk...These aren't conservatives. These aren't conservatives....

...Speculation was rampant on Friday night after Twitter user @MMtTreasures shared a video taken from a window in Billings that was said to show "a jet go by so fast and then [an] explosion in the sky." The video, which appears to show a jet contrail in the sky above a residential neighborhood, includes a brief and silent flash of light that is claimed to be an explosion.... A short time later, the City of Billings said on Twitter that there had been no "massive explosion" in the area.... Twitter user @Chase7601 seemingly attempted to stoke the flames of conspiracy...

Ron Klain sobs uncontrollably, praises Biden’s parenting, VP at goodbye party WASHINGTON — Outgoing White House chief of staff Ron Klain broke down in tears over and over again Wednesday while handing over power to his successor Jeff Zients — going so far as to praise President Biden as a role model for parenting and Vice President Kamala Harris as a great officemate. “This is the best job I ever had,” the 61-year-old Klain blubbered as he began his remarks at an East Room transition celebration, forcing his 80-year-old boss to supportively rub his shoulder as he regained his composure....

Just when you thought American prison systems couldn’t be any more inhumane, a ridiculous new bill has been proposed in Massachusetts that would permit prisoners to donate their organs in exchange for reduced sentences. Perhaps most shockingly, Democrats are sponsoring the legislation. The “act to establish the Massachusetts incarcerated individual bone marrow and organ donation program” is sponsored by Democratic Reps. Carlos Gonzalez of Springfield and Judith Garcia of Chelsea. The bill would give inmates anywhere from 60 days to a year off of their prison sentence as long as “the incarcerated individual has donated bone marrow or organ(s).” The...

A suspected Chinese spy balloon that was initially discovered over Montana has sailed across the United States and could end up over the Carolinas later this weekend, according to a report. The Chinese balloon was discovered hovering at about 60,000 feet just north of Billings, Montana, on Thursday before it moved over Columbia, Missouri, Friday. It could make its way as far east as Raleigh, North Carolina, by Saturday afternoon, according to WNCN.
