More importantly, is it just me, or does it seem like it's becoming more and more frequent that someone who commits a violent homicide turns out to have dozens of prior arrests but has served little to no prison time?

I love experts.

he must have been getting that USAID money before it dried up (pun intended).

Reddit is a microcosm for the anti-reality in which we live.





So many of the commenters here are more upset that the news article called Andrew Miller by his legal name than they are about the fact that he kidnapped and raped and 11 year old girl.

Hopefully his cell mate will redefine the concept of "deadnaming" for the rest of us.

Prisoners don't like pedophiles, generally. They may give him a sex change in the cell block.

Not so surprising that USAID money has been keeping the BBC and so many others in business, in order to keep the narrative going. It feels like the curtain has been pulled back, although the Lefties are trying to cover it back up. **** Hitler Trump and his band of authoritarian tyrants are doing racist things to POC including the roundup of poor migrant farmers. "Who will pick our crops?", said the party of the Jim Crow South, the KKKK, etc.

Remember that the first thing Biden did was to shut down Keystone? Then later in his term he was BEGGING Saudi Arabia to increase production?

At some point you can no longer ascribe stupidity to bad choices. It's on purpose.

Any comment on this Joe? Isn't WGN your station?

Video of the incident shows masked agents holding Chicago news producer, Debbie Brockman, of WGN-TV, face down in the middle of a North Side street as they handcuff her. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which includes Border Patrol, has accused her of throwing an object at a Border Patrol car. WGN reported that she hasn’t been charged with a crime.


^^ Video link is above this, but isn't showing up for me

There's LOTS of that going on right now, especially inside the R party. MTG and Thomas Massie are being crucified for it, as are others. It's an out in the open, spirited debate. As it should be.

The one part that does bother me is that there are "paid actors" building up this issue; people on X being paid for and against Israel. Who exactly? I dunno. How many? I dunno. X needs to address, although per Mike Benz Facebook, Twitter and Google were censoring 10's of MILLIONS of people over the Russia hoax and Covid vax efficacy.

I'd rather it be messy than be censored.
