Look, I would not cross the street to spit on this guy if he was on fire. That said -

I watched . scanned the entire youtube video of the event this morning. When Joe appears to sh!t his pants and then it cuts to Jill leading him off - that didn’t happen.

Joe tries to sit and then he sits, they all sit. He may or not have crapped his pants but he did not leave immediately after this.

Then a bunch of people speak and then Joe speaks for some time. After that they are all dismissed and you see Jill and Joe leaving hand in hand.

Somebody else scan this and check my eyesight. I hate to state falsehoods when there is so much worse truth to be shared.

More on Mrs Harlow here: She’s been under house arrest for months but the absolute bitch of a judge will not count any of that as time served. Kollar-Kotelly is real servant of the devil.

Another elderly convict in the case — and the sister of Jean Marshall — is Paulette Harlow, 75, of Kingston, Massachusetts. Harlow, a Catholic, was found guilty on Nov. 16, 2023, of felony conspiracy against civil rights and violating the FACE Act.

She was sentenced to 24 months of incarceration but has remained under house arrest throughout the proceedings of the case because of her severe health issues.

Speaking to CNA from her home in a phone call in early June, she said she has multiple health issues: diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, spinal stenosis, severe arthritis in her neck, sleep apnea, bronchial asthma, fibromyalgia, neuropathy in both of her feet, migraine headaches, arthritis in her right hip, psoriasis in her left hip, and tinnitus in her left ear, which is causing short-term memory loss.

Harlow’s lawyer, Allen Orenberg, told CNA last November after her conviction that he was “optimistic” that the judge would sentence Harlow to home detention, given her health issues.

“Mrs. Harlow has some significant medical issues that need to be addressed on a regular basis. And the judge said on the record that this will allow her to see her doctors rather than having to deal with the Bureau of Prisons at this stage where the level or the quality of medical care may not be the same,” he said.

But he was wrong. On May 31, Judge Kollar-Kotelly, who sentenced each of the defendants in the case, handed down a sentence of two years of imprisonment.

Orenberg told CNA after her sentencing that Harlow would be sent to a “medical prison,” a facility that is able to offer a high level of care.

But Harlow is still at home, under house arrest, while awaiting a spot to open up in the medical prison. She told CNA that she gets no credit for time served.

She said that during her eight months of confinement, she has not been legally allowed to leave her home to attend Mass at her local parish. On several occasions, a priest has come to her home to celebrate Mass. Her husband brings her home holy Communion consistently, she said.

She told CNA that she is “concerned” about going to the prison but “not afraid because I know wherever I’m going, Jesus is going before me.”

Leaving her husband, she said, will be the hardest part. Harlow said it was an “honor to work and stand up before the unborn.”

“I’m heartbroken for all of us. I’m heartbroken for America. I really am,” she said.

This is her judicial bio. She’s not only ancient, she’s evil.

At probably around 83 years old, she’s old enough to have been bought and sold a dozen times over the years.

Senior Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly

Judge Kollar-Kotelly was appointed to the United States District Court in May 1997. She received a B.A. in 1965 from The Catholic University of America and a J.D. in 1968 from Columbus School of Law, The Catholic University of America.

Following law school, she served as law clerk to Judge Catherine B. Kelly of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. From 1969 to 1972, Judge Kollar-Kotelly was an attorney in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and then served as the chief legal counsel to Saint Elizabeths Hospital until 1984.

She was appointed Associate Judge of the D.C. Superior Court in October 1984, and served as Deputy Presiding Judge of the Criminal Division from 1995 until her appointment to the federal bench.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly has been a Fellow of the American Bar Association, a founding member of the Thurgood Marshall Inn of Court, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine in a joint teaching program on mental health and the law, and chair of the Board of the Art Trust for Superior Court.

Judge Kotelly was appointed by Chief Justice Rehnquist to serve as a member of the Judicial Conference Committee on Financial Disclosure from June 2000 through May 2002, and in May 2002 Chief Justice Rehnquist appointed Judge Kotelly to serve as Presiding Judge of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court , which is a 7-year appointment.

Yeah. One. One old man, no one of consequence.

Where are the rest of the names?

From there, the woman claims Jarecki ultimately moved her into an NYC apartment next to his home, where he sexually abused and trafficked her for years.

The woman also claims Jarecki popped testosterone pills to increase his sex drive and told her she would have to pay rent at the apartment if she didn’t have sex with him.

Jarecki also used the woman’s tenuous immigration status against her as a means of control.

According to the docs, the woman claims Jarecki forced her to have sex with other men in front of him and also sex trafficked her from NYC to his own private island in the Caribbean.

Names. Name the names.

I bet other FReepers have suggested the same things but here goes:

Pray. Really, seriously, pray. God has some purpose in this. I believe that, but I’m still angry and more MAGA than ever. But pray. Find a church if you have to and can.

Make a donation to President Trump if you haven’t already. Anything at all that you can. Just showing him support in numbers should mean something.

Flags upside down at half-staff every day.

Stop buying new anything from China. Second hand, garage sales, thrift shops, friend’s and family’s basements.

Stop paying by credit card for as much as possible.

Pay cash, under the table, trade or barter. Starve the sales tax as much as you personally can.

Local farms and dairy farmers for as much as possible. More expensive but stop buying other crap and you’ll be able to afford it.

Victory Gardens, but call it 45 / 47 Garden.

Stop any unnecessary spending. Cancel Christmas early.

NO trips to NY especially to the Rotten Apple. Nothing purchased from NYS.

No big purchases - cars, appliances, vacations, etc.

If you need any work done at your house arrange to pay cash for as much as possible.

Cancel ANY network or streaming app that is democrat run.
REFUSE to support in any way ANY actor, musician, author, etc., that is a democrap shill.

Shun democrap friends, family and neighbors. Shun anyone who applauds this travesty. They are either evil or fools and not worth your time.

Look for an Overpasses For America kind of org that will stage rallys or protests. That is STILL an American right. Plan one yourself if you know how. Get to know more like-minded people and circulate amongst yourselves. We all need more of honorable friends and contacts in this wicked time.

Vote. Donate. Door knock. Phone calls. Whatever you can do.

Learn self-defense, get a weapon, prepare to defend yourself, your family, your home. Go in with friends on a pig farm.

Pray. And have faith God has this under His power and control. Be faithful.

Bullcrap. This lying hypocrite POS has no problemo with many other things that are worse for kids.

Such as?

Demonic men in dresses influencing young minds, boys competing in girls’ sports and stealing titles, wins, and scholarships from them, endless, unnecessary and damaging vaccines, sex ed classes and pornographic books in schools without parental permission that are raping the minds of kids, twisting their normal sexual development, and getting their hormones so revved up all Planned Parenthood has left to do is go and harvest the crops at the fetus farms.

No. The real story here is it sounds good, and banning smart phones makes it harder for students to document the abuse, corruption, perversion, propaganda, bullying, etc., that makes public schools THE most dangerous place for kids today.

Just one thoughtful article on Bath House’s Iran Nuclear deal.

Obama’s Disastrous Iran Deal

Obama’s Disastrous Iran Deal
By: Richard A. Epstein

In his famous 1897 essay, “The Path of the Law,” Oliver Wendell Holmes said that to understand the law, it would be necessary to adopt the perspective of the famous “bad man,” the one “who cares only for the material consequences” of his actions, but “does not care two straws for the axioms or deductions” of natural law. Our bad man just wants “to know what the Massachusetts or English courts are likely to do in fact.”

Today, Holmes’s quintessential bad man is Iran, as it only cares about what happens if it gets caught,—caught, in this case, developing nuclear weapons. With most contracts, people work overtime to avoid that problem by choosing the right business partners. But there is no such luxury in international affairs.

Last week, Iran and the six world powers—the United States, China, Russia, Great Britain, France, and Germany—plus the European Union signed a nuclear deal called the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.” Any examination of this deal has to start with the ugly but accurate assumption that Iran will, at every opportunity, act in bad faith.

The agreement starts off on a grand note: “The goal for these negotiations is to reach a mutually-agreed long-term comprehensive solution that would ensure Iranˈs nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful. Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek or develop any nuclear weapons.” But it is straight downhill from there.

The first problem with the deal is that it gives Iran an undeserved respectability that comes simply from being allowed to sign a significant international agreement.

Worse still, China and Russia should not be understood as adverse to Iran, their present and future ally. They are better understood as a Fifth Column against the West, and Iran’s many other foes, whose role in the negotiations is akin to the role that Vladimir Putin played in the embarrassing negotiations over chemical weapons in Syria that all but destroyed Obama’s credibility in foreign policy. Putin will be happy to take any excess uranium ore off the hands of the Iranians. But at the most opportune time, he might be prepared to return it to Iran if doing so would benefit Russia. The Chinese, for their part, also sense weakness in the United States and the West, as they build up illegal islands in the South China Sea subject to our diplomatic objections that accomplish nothing.

The remaining parties are our nominal allies who must believe that this nuclear deal represents a retreat from the basic proposition of Pax Americana—the guarantee that the U.S. will provide meaningful guarantees for the security of its allies. Our allies may well become less hostile to Russia and China precisely because they cannot count on U.S. leadership in tough times. The situation is starker still for the Israelis, who fear that the deal will embolden the Iranians to create more mischief in the Middle East and elsewhere. The Saudis are probably next in line in this belief. And both are surely right.

Iran’s promises count for nothing. Iran is quite happy to fund Bashar al-Assad in Syria, to back Hamas, and to launch terrorist attacks throughout the Middle East. It is eager to confront its Sunni rivals, most notably Saudi Arabia, by supporting their enemies. It is eager to annihilate Israel. Indeed now that the agreement seems in place, the Ayatollah says flat out that deal or no deal, “we will never stop supporting our friends in the region and the people of Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain and Lebanon.”

Why then would anyone be surprised that Iran would be willing to make high-sounding promises that it has every intention to quickly break? Does anyone really agree with the President’s rosy view that Iran will reciprocate our respect with its respect? Putting our best foot forward makes sense with ordinary business deals where reputations count. It makes no sense when dealing with a Holmesian bad man who has no need or intention of reciprocating good will with good will.

In this sort of negotiating environment, reviewing the counterparty’s track record is a must, and Iran’s is far from laudable. Hence the guts of this deal lie not in lofty preambles, but in its gritty details of enforcement and sanctions, two issues which should be non-negotiable—a word that President Obama never invokes to defend our position.

One issue concerns the sequence in which the various stipulations of the agreement go into play. The black mark against this agreement is that it virtually guarantees immediate removal of the full set of economic sanctions against Iran, which will lead to an infusion of cash, perhaps in excess of $150 billion, into the country, some fraction of which will promptly flow to affiliate groups that cause mayhem around the world. But what does the President say about this substantial negative? Nothing. He just ignores it.

In his much-ballyhooed interview with Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, he stated: “Don’t judge me on whether this deal transforms Iran, ends Iran’s aggressive behavior toward some of its Arab neighbors or leads to détente between Shiites and Sunnis. Judge me on one thing: Does this deal prevent Iran from breaking out with a nuclear weapon for the next 10 years and is that a better outcome for America, Israel and our Arab allies than any other alternative on the table?”

In fact, we should judge President Obama and his treaty harshly on each of these points. By providing Iran with billions of dollars of immediate cash, this agreement will help Iran fund wars and terrorist attacks that could take thousands of lives. To offset this possibility, the President has indicated that he will try to bolster American assistance to the various countries that will be affected by Iranian aggression, but none of our allies can have much confidence in the leadership of a President who has made at best negligible progress in dealing with ISIS. His public vow to never put American ground forces in the Middle East turns out to be the only promise that he is determined to keep—for the benefit of our sworn enemies who have greater freedom of action given his iron clad guarantee. The objection to the President here is not that he has merely failed to curb Iranian mischief. It is that his clumsy deal will massively subsidize it.

Second, there is no more “snap back” here. Once the sanctions set out explicitly in the agreement are lifted from Iran, they won’t be reinstated any time soon. Gone are the days of anytime, anywhere inspections. In stark contrast, Articles 36 and 37 of the agreement outline a tortuous review process to reinstate any sanctions. First the Joint Commission must act, then the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, and then a nonbinding opinion by a three-member Advisory Board must be issued. If the matter is not resolved to mutual satisfaction after this process runs its course, any participant “could treat the unresolved issue as grounds to cease performing its commitments under this ICPOA.”

Section 37 then contains a murky provision under which the UN Security Council might possibly reimpose sanctions in part. But the entire procedure could take months, and at the end of this process Iran is free to walk if it does not like the outcome. Iran would also know that reassembling the original set of sanctions would be extremely difficult. Putting this agreement in place will likely end collective sanctions irreversibly.

And what do we get in exchange for all of the added risks we assume? The President claims that we have secured the best path possible to slow down the ability of the Iranians to make a nuclear weapon for at least ten years. But why should anyone believe that that will be the result when we are dealing with the quintessential bad man? The only safe way to slow down Iran’s nuclear capabilities is to do what the President claimed was necessary earlier, which is to knock out Iran’s total production of enriched uranium, subject to constant supervision.

It is all too clear that what Obama has offered today is a far cry from the deal he outlined to the country before these negotiations. It was easy for the President to talk tough to Mitt Romney in the course of their 2012 debates by then claiming it was “straightforward” that Iran has to “give up” its nuclear program in its entirety. As the President once recognized, there are no peaceful ends for which Iran needs a nuclear program. It is awash in oil, and it can satisfy any desire for medical isotopes by buying off-the-shelf products from any of a dozen nations that would be thrilled to supply them for free.

The agreement dramatically changes Iran’s status as an international aggressor. Elliott Abrams gives us the grim tally. Right off the bat, Iran’s nuclear program has gone from illegal to legal. The new agreement lets Iran keep 6,000 centrifuges and it allows the country to continue to do its own weapons research. It is likely that it can do a lot more outside the agreement as well. In five years the agreement lifts an arms embargo and in eight years all restrictions on ballistic missiles will be lifted.

It is often said that negotiation involves the process of give and take, by which it is not meant that the United States and its allies give and Iran takes. Unfortunately, that pattern has been observed in this recent deal. Iran had no hesitation in stating in the eleventh hour that various limitations on its sovereignty, e.g. inspections, were “unacceptable.” Today its position is that the sanctions must be lifted immediately. But the Obama administration was extraordinarily reluctant to say that any Iranian proposal was unacceptable. The drama in the negotiation was how far the Iranians would push the agreement to their side of the table—which is exactly what to expect from any negotiation that relies exclusively on carrots and disdains all sticks.

This agreement does not require detailed study to conclude that it is a dead loser. Nonetheless, the United States has put it forward in the United Nations for approval before Congress has spoken, and the President, incorrigible as ever, has announced that he will veto any Congressional legislation that seeks to block the treaty. Many members of his own party do not share the President’s unfailing instinct for self-destruction. They should join the Republicans to reject the treaty by veto-proof majorities in both houses before the President and his team can do any further harm.

My guess is that Valerie Jarret has her hand up Bath House Barry’s @$$, and THAT closeted homosexual jihadi has his hand in everything going on in Resident Potato’s phony “administration”. Iran is always protected.

I sure hope her family knows about jailhouse justice.
This bastard son of a bitch should never see another sunrise.

I was incredulous with shame and disgust when this pier was being built. The government of the USA is truly terrorist and debauched, debased, lecherous, disgusting, untrustworthy, evil.

I couldn’t help but think of Isaiah, and I am so happy God keeps His word.

That said, though ... that the animals of izlam did what they did on Oct 6 and all of the horror, torture, murder and suffering they perpetrated upon innocent people, I can’t help but ask why that was allowed.

The scourge of muzlim culture and the teachings of mohamed, piss be upon him, need to be eradicated and burned off this earth.

Isaiah 54:13-17

King James Bible

13 Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD,e

and great will be their prosperity.

14 In righteousness you will be established,

far from oppression,

for you will have no fear.

Terror will be far removed,

for it will not come near you.

15 If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me;

whoever assails you will fall before you.

16 Behold, I have created the craftsman

who fans the coals into flame

and forges a weapon fit for its task;

and I have created the destroyer

to wreak havoc.

17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.

This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,

and their vindication is from Me,”

So what is a Brooke Merrell? An urban planner lawyer community organizer I Hate America Type who likes playing Anna Pigeon, and I’d guess a real pain in the ass.

News Release Date: July 21, 2022

Anchorage, AK—Brooke Merrell has been selected to serve as the Superintendent of Denali National Park and Preserve. Merrell is currently the deputy superintendent at the park and has been acting superintendent for the past 9 months. Merrell’s appointment is significant as she is the first woman to hold the top job at Denali in its 105-year history.

“I am absolutely thrilled with Brooke’s selection to lead Denali National Park and Preserve,” said Alaska Regional Director Sarah Creachbaum. “Brooke has already proven she is an exceptional leader and I expect her transition as the permanent superintendent at Denali will be seamless,” Creachbaum said.

Brooke first came to Alaska in 2009 as a National Park Foundation Transportation Scholar working on a statewide NPS long range transportation plan. She had never considered Alaska as a place to live, but soon joined the Alaska Region permanently as a transportation planner, the Regional Environmental Coordinator, then led the Environmental Planning and Compliance team. In January of 2021, Merrell moved to Denali as deputy superintendent, where she immediately took on some of the park’s most challenging issues, most notably developing a solution to the Pretty Rocks Landslide.

“I am honored to be selected for the job at Denali National Park and Preserve and am dedicated to supporting this incredible park and community,” said Merrell. “There is so much passion for park resources from both park staff and members of the community, and I look forward to leveraging this for everyone’s benefit,” Merrell said. “I am also excited for the opportunity to continue working with all of our partners, our valued inholders, and the business community in order to find common ground and solutions for the challenges ahead.”

Brooke grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and received a Master of Urban Planning degree from the University of Utah and a law degree from Lewis and Clark Law School. Prior to moving to Alaska, she worked for DNA People’s Legal Services on the Navajo Nation, the City of Portland, Columbia Riverkeeper, and Gulf Islands National Seashore. Merrell lives in the Stampede area of Denali with her husband Nathan while their two children attend college in state.

Thank you, I’m so glad you shared this. My mouth is one of my top 3 I need to get into righteousness. But I’m doing better. Just 2 days ago I stopped myself posting a nasty comment about a person, and I confessed to someone that on another matter I was feeling bitter or suspicious. It was concerning an act of giving and I felt better after talking it out and praying over it.

But yes, we’re warned over and over about our tongues. Thank you for a very good post about it.

Not to make light of the storm and the people so badly impacted, but this gif was the very first one I ever saved on my first computer. Thanks so much for the remembery.

RFK has a worm??

But it looks so easy in the movies ...

Dang.

His NSFW but boppy tune “Thrift Shop” is on repeat in my brain almost daily. Kind of my personal anthem. “And We Danced” is also kind of very nice.

Time for a new ear worm I guess.
