Two outside experts said the image that accompanied the tweet would be available only to a government source and was very likely classified.

They noted the resolution on the image is higher than images available to anyone but the government. It could have come from a presidential intelligence briefing, they said.

The president has authority to declassify anything he wishes, but it was unclear what the purpose of doing so in this case would be.

Both the State Department and the Pentagon, as well as other government agencies, referred questions about the tweet to the White House.

With his detailed public message, the president could be letting Tehran know that the U.S. is watching, analysts suggested.

Snopes is defending Biden's false story by claiming a single element of the story is true, thus labelling it false is misleading...

So, 95% of a story is absolutely false, but it would be wrong to label that story false because 5% of it did actually happen.

That's like saying the story of how I fought a dragon and that AOC revealed she was a troll the whole time while I was on my way to the grocery store to pick up eggs is not a false story, because I actually did go to the grocery store to buy eggs...?

'Seinfeld' star John O'Hurley slams 'Will & Grace' stars for 'lunacy' over Trump comments

...

“Let me just say I’m embarrassed for both of them because I know them both, I’ve worked with Debra before. They’re both smart people... they do wonderful work,” he explained. “But, they’re pushing a case that falls apart from the sheer weight of its lunacy, as though the Hollywood community needs to be purged of this social and intellectual hygiene problem called conservative thinking. It underscores the fact that we aren’t receptive to a diversity of thought which is the exact opposite of what you feel the liberal way would be, and I find that obscene.”

...

“It’s very difficult to be a conservative in Hollywood. Even though there are many of us, you do feel you are an island fighting the storm... all viewpoints must be observed and respected,” he shared. “At the same time we are supporting free thinking, we also have to support free receptors – people that will allow other ideas to infect them. Some of the best convos I’ve ever had on 'Seinfeld'... were with Michael Richards who thinks totally different than I do. I couldn't wait to present him with an issue because I was always interested in his perspective.”

O’Hurley continued: “Bryan Cranston... is the complete opposite of me. We can sit for hours and discuss an idea... not with the premise of trying to convince each other.”

...

“Every time I have mentioned that I supported Trump in this election, people get vicariously angry at me, and they don't believe that it's possible that someone might think differently than they do," O'Hurley said at the time. “There is a band of conservatism in Hollywood, but it leans so much to one side that it doesn't allow for free discussion.”

A Child Rape Victim on Why Society Should Be More Empathetic to Pedophiles

“If he would have had a place to go, maybe it would have never happened to me.”

..

The first time she slept over, her friend's dad had her sleep on the living room couch, instead of in his daughter's bedroom. While she was asleep, she said he came out to the couch and started molesting her, removing her underwear.

"There was a few other times that stuff like that happened, it got more intense the more he did it," Martinez told VICE.

On a camping trip, the summer between fourth and fifth grade, Martinez said he raped her repeatedly while she was inside their tent.

"It hurt so bad I couldn't pretend to be asleep any longer," she said. When she acted as if she was waking up, he stopped.

Martinez kept silent about the assaults for years. As a teenager, she said she had social anxiety. Terrified that someone would find out how she lost her virginity, she started having sex at age 14.

...

She said if pedophiles were less stigmatized, they might be able to get counselling before acting on their urges.

"How are we going to understand these sorts of people if we don't talk to them?... If they're too scared to speak up and say anything, how is it going to be prevented?"

WALMART TO END MOST AMMUNITION SALES AND BAN OPEN CARRY IN ITS STORES
by Kevin Ryan

Walmart is banning shoppers from openly carrying guns in its stores and ending the sale of some types of ammunition, the company announced in a statement today.

"After selling through our current inventory commitments, we will discontinue sales of short-barrel rifle ammunition such as the .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber that, while commonly used in some hunting rifles, can also be used in large capacity clips on military-style weapons," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a memo to employees on Tuesday.

The company will also stop selling ammunition for all handguns nationwide.
