This looks like the Sheriff of Fulton County, Patrick Labat. It is a soft porn series released about 18 years ago called The Closet. It was filmed in Atlanta and lists Patrick Labat in the credits and looks very much like the same man who hammed it up during press conferences over the past month albeit a little younger and with a mustache. Labat insisted on Trump getting a mugshot at his jail and he wanted Trump to remain in a jail cell for 2 hours. His jail is a death trap. On the series' YouTube page, it writes: Atlanta...

Russia has already stationed a first batch of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, Vladimir Putin says. Speaking at an economic forum, he said they would only be used if Russia's territory or state was threatened. The US government says there is no indication the Kremlin plans to use nuclear weapons to attack Ukraine. "We don't see any indications that Russia is preparing to use a nuclear weapon," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after Mr Putin's comments. Belarus is a key Russian ally and served as a launchpad for Mr Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year....

Winning!Injunction against Illinois' Un-Constitutional "Assault Weapons Ban" has been granted by the US District Court! They cite the clear violation of the Second Amendment which includles the indivual right to bear arms (in common use) and US Supreme Court Precedent. Clearly the court recognized that Illinois' "Assault Weapons Ban" was written in defiance of the US Constitution and legal precedent. At this point, JB PRICKSTER and KWAME RAOUL are all but guaranteed to lose if they appeal to the IL Supreme Court, who'll simply uphold the Appellate Court's finding. Fatboy PRICKSTER and RAOUL wouldn't stand an ice cubes chance in...

CHICAGO - An appellate court has upheld a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Illinois’ assault weapons ban, and expanded it to cover the entire state. The TRO was issued by an Effingham County judge after attorney Thomas DeVore filed a lawsuit in state court against the law on behalf of 866 plaintiffs. Tuesday’s ruling actually expands the restraining order statewide. Judges suggested that lawmakers who rushed to pass the legislation earlier this month should have slowed down to explain why police and security guards, and several other categories of people, get to buy the firearms but others do not. "This...

A Kankakee County judge has found that a key provision of Illinois’ sweeping criminal justice law is unconstitutional, potentially rolling back a controversial measure that would eliminate the use of cash bail as of New Year’s Day, according to a copy of the judge’s ruling obtained by the Tribune.The judge’s ruling affects only the pretrial release provisions of the law, known as the SAFE-T ACT, leaving all other measures intact. Judge Thomas Cunnington is expected to file his ruling Thursday morning. Cunnington’s decision stems from a lawsuit filed by about 60 state’s attorneys across Illinois. The ruling states that Gov....

This morning I'm picking up my brand spanking new Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road edition. It's my first new vehicle in almost 40 years.While I was married, all the new vehicles went to the now ex-wife because I wanted her to be the safest possible and I was ok driving the 'hand me downs' due to my very short commute.As we had kids, that continued with her getting the new vehicles with the most safety features for her and our two sons. I never considered it a "sacrifice" to always drive the highly used vehicles and her & the kids getting...

My employer, a large multi-national bank recently began mandatory return to office. Same large multi-national bank required all employees to be "fully vaccinated" up to about two months ago, when that requirement was suddenly and mysteriously dropped. The language just "disappeared" like Joe Biden's nose into a young woman's hair. But I digress.I personally have steadfastly refused to commute into Shitcago anymore because it's just not safe. When I did go earlier this year, typically once every week, I conceal/carried. I was typically one of a handful of people in the office when I went in, despite our having multiple...

So, what did everyone pay at their last fill-up?

After 38 years working in the Information Technology / Information Security fields, I've had enough.It's not that I hate my job (I don't) and it's not that I don't like the people I work with (I do. I think of them as family.) I just cannot stand the thought of my hard earned tax dollars going to support the most corrupt, crooked, tyrannical, incompetent, inept and damn' it, STUPID and STOLEN Presidency there ever has been, and ever will be, the Biden Crime Family.I've informed my employer, a global financial services organization that I'm pulling the plug on August 31st.I...

PORTLAND, OR- Ah yes, the good old days of summer camp. Some arts and crafts, a little fishing and boating, some field games, late night campfires…yes, good times. Now, the 2022 version of summer camp in a far-left hellhole, this time in the home of far-left extremist wackos, Portland, Oregon. The Post Millennial tells us that bastion of American values, Antifa, is hosting a summer camp for future terrorists. Seriously. PM says a Portland-based Antifa group called “Budding Roses” will (seriously) host an “Antifascist social justice summer camp” for children aged 10 to 14 starting on July 25. Kids...

IMO, this is how every damn' law enforcement agency in the United States needs to respond to school shootings and IMO, putting this message out in every community in every local PD, county sheriff and state police would send the right message.It's about 30 seconds and I can't summarize it any better than is said in this video.

Do we all get it that as of yesterday, Joe Biden is officially a LAME DUCK?Let's look at the facts as of today, shall we? 1. Build Back Broke --- DEAD. At least as of now and assuming Joe Manchin, who typically folds like a cheap suit on everything else, actually holds his ground here.2. Changing the Senate Fillibuster Rules so the Dem's can rig elections in their favor forever --- DEAD. Krysten Sinema, a Democrat is showing she has more balls than just about the entire Republican Party combined. That is, assuming she hold her ground as well.3. Biden's...

Dec 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday authorized the use of AstraZeneca's (AZN.L) antibody cocktail to prevent COVID-19 infections in individuals with weak immune systems or a history of severe side effects from coronavirus vaccines.

A 53-foot container full of donations that was stolen from Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood last month has been located, but most of the items inside had been taken, the group’s founder said.

Praise Almighty God! Aunt Vera's journey home has ended, she is with our Lord!

What if a large employer with oh, say 25,000+ Global Employees sent a poll out asking who wants to return to office in September?And what if that poll included a statement that said anyone wanting to return to office would be required to sign a waiver, stating if they contract the China Virus they cannot hold the company responsible?How many people would say "Yes! I want to return to office in September?"More specifically, how many of those Global Employees, of which approximately 10,000 are Chicago based would say "Yes?"As it turns out, here in the Chicago area that number is...

Excerpted:“Even after a person is accused of a crime, in the U.S. legal system, under our Constitution, every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” Evans wrote to us in a statement. “While a case is pending, under the law, judges must impose the least restrictive pretrial conditions possible that ensure the defendant’s return to court and protect public safety. Jail is the most restrictive condition, depriving the accused of liberty, as well as access to jobs, education, family and the ability to aid in their defense.”

The state that has the worst record for two shots given is Illinois at 4.2%. At least Illinois matches the national average of 13.0% for at least one shot given to its adult population. However, it ranks poorly by another measure. A total of 2,924,725 doses have been delivered to the state. Of those "shots given" stand at 2,261,482, or 77%. Illinois state government has been criticized for the pace at which it has vaccinated its population. According to The Chicago Tribune: Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s team announced last week it will enlist federal Disaster Survivor Assistance teams to help at...
