  1. actually no. ex number two is struggling with her cancer. it has gotten worse. i cannot get up to see her and i have no one to watch my rescues. one of the spots on her liver has grown dramatically. i could make you a list but that and killing kids is enough for now.
  2. also for those who might not understand military do not have the same rights in a court of law. and it is way stricter in a military court.
  3. they had hand ties. if they thought enough to bring those i am sure they could find some rope. they attacked cops with intent to hurt and or kill and were even shouting that crap right in cops faces. the fact is you have no idea if they would have hung pence or not you are just making an assumption.
  4. the article said the country is getting more and more partisan to the point it hurts the country. i agree completely.
  5. i think with very very few exceptions pols are helped to get elected by how much they can do for the money folks and not the people and i believe it happens on both sides. who gets the most i have no idea.
  6. ok i got part of it wrong as this did not mention him talking to his sex partner. but here is what i found............. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn flipped on the Trump campaign in December 2017 after pleading guilty to making false statements about his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the United States weeks before the inauguration. While he served as Trump’s national security adviser, the former three-star Army general denied asking then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak to “refrain from escalating in response to [American] sanctions” the Obama administration had imposed on Moscow for meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Flynn also denied having asked Kislyak to delay a United Nations Security Council vote on Israeli settlements. Both lies were made during an interview with FBI agents on Jan. 24, 2017, the feds said. Though Flynn agreed to cooperate with Mueller in 2017, the Trumpkin reversed his posture two years later—claiming he was coerced into a guilty plea by prosecutors and federal agents. Earlier this year, Attorney General William Barr appointed a U.S. attorney to review the case and even moved in May to dismiss the charges altogether. Refusing to give in to outside pressure, a federal judge presiding over the case appointed an outside adviser to argue against dismissal, and the case is still alive. of course jj willl come in and call it all lies.
  7. he was one of trumps big dogs. flynn maybe? he went to prison.
  8. they refused the big shot general who told his lover everything who just so happened to be a spy right? and also not his wife?
  9. Son, They Shook: Uvalde Massacre Separates True Heroes From Cowards Keith Reed Fri, May 27, 2022, 10:03 AM People gather at a memorial site to pay their respects for the victims killed in this week’s elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Thursday, May 26, 2022. Tough times, they say, make tough people. They also apparently make a good time for fake tough guys to expose themselves as cowards. Examples are emerging as more details come to light about the massacre at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., and the responses of politicians, companies and cops in its wake. To be clear–and for purposes of the requisite disclaimer to pre-empt the Blue Lives crowd that’ll jump in my DMs after reading this–there were heroes in Uvalde. The teachers who shepherded hundreds of children into locked classrooms and eventually out of the building while the killer wiped out their pupils and peers deserve every reward society can offer. The children who saved themselves and others by disguising themselves as cadavers using their expired classmates’ blood are avatars of bravery. The parents who stood up to feckless cops, including one mother who was reportedly handcuffed and uncuffed, only to scale a fence and rescue her own kids, have special places in heaven awaiting them. Likewise for the Border Patrol agents who eventually cut down the killer–assuming that the latest law enforcement version of events is actually true.

Toasted: Jerk Chicken Empanadas and Mango Chili Sauce But their heroics also expose the cowards who, until this week, were loud and proud about their stances on making money from guns, taking money from gun lobbyists and on the ever-fading myth of the valiant, hero cop. Sen. Ted Cruz, the Canadian weakling who took more money from the gun lobby than anyone else in Congress, ditched his Yosemite Sam act and ran for the hills after a reporter from Sky News didn’t accept his attempt to skirt a direct question about why only American kids get mowed down in their classrooms with AR-15s. But we already knew Cruz was no stranger to running in a time of crisis. Daniel Defense, the Georgia company which manufactured the guns that were bought legally and then used by the 18-year-old assassin in Uvalde, earlier this month proudly posted a grotesque image to its Twitter account of a little boy holding–you guessed it, an assault rifle. The caption? A Bible verse, Proverbs 22:6 specifically: “Train up a child in their way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” But after their product was used to extinguish 19 children’s opportunity to be trained up in any way possible, Daniel Defense lost its moxy and locked its Twitter account. They’ve also decided to pull out of participating in the NRA’s annual convention, which is unconscionably being held in Texas as we speak. No more scripture for them, although Revelations 21:8 comes to mind: “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers…and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Which brings us back to the cops. It’d be wrong to paint every Uvalde officer with a broad brush, but the city’s police department has lots of explaining to do and so far, they’re failing that assignment. Videos have emerged of cops cuffing, tackling and otherwise restraining frantic parents while the shooter was still inside the school, alive. The local police’s initial story that the shooter was initially “engaged” before making his way inside now appears to be a fabrication. It’s possible those changing stories could be the result of evolving information during a crisis of the magnitude that a small town department like Uvalde’s wasn’t capable of handling. But we also live in a time where die-hard police supporters continue to prop up the myth of superhero cops who always deserve the benefit of the doubt. With 19 dead kids and grieving parents demanding answers about the police’s behavior in their final moments, that’s not a benefit we should be willing to extend here. The parents who stood up to feckless cops, including one mother who was reportedly handcuffed and uncuffed, only to scale a fence and rescue her own kids, have special places in heaven awaiting them. answer me this. how in the hell can we have fair gun control when politicians are drowning in gun lobby money? newsweek.com Full List of Republican Senators Who Receive Funding From the NRA Ewan Palmer 4-6 minutes Video Player is loading. Current Time 0:07 Duration 1:07 Remaining Time 1:00 Which Republican Senators Have Received The Most Funding From The NRA? The political influence of the National Rifle Association (NRA) is once again in the spotlight in the wake of the mass shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The shooting reignited the debate regarding gun control laws in the U.S. after a gunman killed 19 children and two adults at the Robb Elementary School on Tuesday. While several Republicans tweeted after the shooting that they are offering their thoughts and prayers to the victims, others have pointed out that there are a number of GOP senators who have received millions of dollars of donations from the NRA over the years. According to data compiled by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence in 2019, about two dozen sitting Republican senators have received contributions from the NRA. Of those senators, 16 have received more than $1 million. Topping the list is Utah Senator Mitt Romney, who received more than $13 million in NRA contributions. The NRA money donated to Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, was raised by a number of social media users after Romney tweeted his condolences in the wake of the Uvalde mass shooting. "Grief overwhelms the soul. Children slaughtered. Lives extinguished. Parents' hearts wrenched. Incomprehensible," Romney wrote. "I offer prayer and condolence but know that it is grossly inadequate. We must find answers." A combined image of senators reportedly bankrolled by the NRA. From left to right Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, Richard Burr and Roy Blunt. Getty Jemele Hill, a contributing writer for The Atlantic, tweeted in response to Romney: "Grief does not overwhelm the soul nearly as much as $13M from the NRA overwhelms your bank account. The answer you seek is the money you continue to take." Broadcaster Soledad O'Brien added: "The NRA gave you just under 14 million dollars, sir. I frequently call this man a coward. Maybe one day the words he says and what he actually does, will match." Senators Richard Burr and Roy Blunt followed Romney on the list of GOP lawmakers who received the highest amount of NRA contributions, with North Carolina's Burr receiving close to $7 million and Blunt of Missouri taking in over $4.5 million from the NRA. Other Republicans who received significant money from the NRA include Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell and Josh Hawley of Missouri. Ted Cruz, who is due to appear at an NRA meeting in Houston over the weekend, just days after the mass shooting in Uvalde, has received more than $175,000 from the group. In the wake of the Uvalde massacre, Cruz has frequently pushed back on calls for gun law reforms in the only country in the world where school shootings regularly occur.

  10. the truth is they do not care if their own people are bad. they never have and never will. trump lost me when he stole from a VA charity. or smear a POW when he lied to get out of serving. the right only cares about money and guns.
  11. they tend to forget most of trumps cronies in jail for being traitors among other things..............
  12. Broderick: Is America headed toward a two-state solution? John Broderick Fri, May 27, 2022, 4:01 AM Unorthodox times may require unprecedented actions. I fear that time may have arrived in America, as painful as it is to acknowledge. Watching our democracy and its cherished values free-fall dramatically into disrepair, distrust, and dysfunction during President Trump’s time in office, culminating in an insurrection on the U.S. Capitol that he helped organize and encourage, it would be foolish to see those dark days as somehow behind us. Sadly, tens of millions of our fellow citizens embraced those cringe-worthy days as “making America great again.” Bridging that divisive chasm as “one nation under God” may no longer be possible or even advisable. John Broderick President Biden is out of central casting for normal, thoughtful, and experienced leadership that allows him to intelligently tackle and discuss the vexing challenges we face at home and abroad after four years of chaos and confusion created by the norm-breaking and law-breaking Trump administration. But truth, competence and inclusion have apparently fallen out of favor these days. Former President Trump, in all his bombast and disinformation, remains the odds-on favorite to get the Republican nomination in 2024. Apparently under current Republican standards, Trump, despite his four years of careening, reactive, fear-filled, anti-government government is seen by many as the logical answer to our nation’s growing challenges. Indeed, he is seen by many as the only answer. The BIG LIE and the many kooky conspiracy theories it spawned are still very much alive and thriving. It was once said that “truth will set you free.” Republicans, with few exceptions, have now unsubscribed to that maxim. Truth, it seems, is now the first victim in the face of inconvenient facts. What in the world has become of our country and those who purport to lead it? Is this really who we have become? America in all its greatness cannot survive the centrifugal forces of self-destruction loosed and growing across our land. We have become incapable it appears to address pressing national problems like climate change, voter suppression, assault rifles on our streets, kids being gunned down in our schools, the dangerous rise of white nationalism and antisemitism, and the self-confident smugness of growing ignorance across a host of national issues. American values and common ties that once proudly cemented our diverse nation are constantly being undercut by those who would turn back the clock on American progress and continue to create false-flag culture wars that turn Americans against each other. Increasingly I don’t recognize my country and its growing tolerance of intolerance and its fear of the truth. What disturbs me most is my nagging belief that we have already become “two nations under God” and that without a shot being fired we might need to make that a physical reality: one nation blue and the other red. One of those new countries (like the one I grew up in) would constantly, albeit imperfectly, strive to address the real needs of its people, understand, harness and promote its diversity and cherish its democratic values while ever-trying to become “a more perfect union” and the other could salute aggregated power, stifle dissent, declare martial law to quell protesters, build walls at its borders, rewrite history to suit its needs, disregard realities, overturn election results on false claims of voter fraud, disenfranchise women, cut taxes for the rich, arm all its citizens and ignore the global leadership responsibilities of a great nation. Something needs to change and soon or a two-state solution for America may be exactly where we’re headed. Even more unsettling is that a two-state solution may be the only answer to America’s woes. I pray I’m wrong. John T. Broderick Jr. is the founder of the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership and Public Policy at UNH Law and formerly served as chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

  13. Who will be Auburn football's toughest opponent in 2022? Ranking all 12 by difficulty Bennett Durando 4-5 minutes AUBURN — As usual, Auburn has one of the most difficult schedules in college football this season. But which 2022 matchup is toughest? Where does Auburn need to steal a game? Here are the 12 opponents ranked in reverse order based on difficulty. 12. Mercer (home) Mercer finished second in the Southern Conference last season and was battle-tested at Alabama. Can Auburn win by more than the Crimson Tide's 48-14? 11. San Jose State (home) A familiar Mountain West opponent for Auburn coach Bryan Harsin. San Jose State's conference title defense stalled last season with 20 points per game. Its defense should be better than its offense this year. Cupcake game. 10. Western Kentucky (home) The Hilltoppers are the best non-power conference opponent Auburn will face. They lost offensive mastermind Zach Kittley, but they're adding sixth-year grad transfer quarterback Jarret Doege, a former West Virginia starter. 9. Missouri (home) Missouri has a higher-rated freshman signing class than Auburn, including the top receiver recruit in the country, Luther Burden. He'll test Auburn's overhauled secondary in the SEC opener, but the five-star doesn't know who will be throwing to him yet. 8. Mississippi State (away) Auburn fans still shiver at any mention of coach Mike Leach's Air Raid offense or quarterback Will Rogers, who completed 34 of his last 37 passes for six touchdowns last November. The Tigers blew a 28-3 lead. Now they have to face Rogers while cowbells are egging him on. 7. Penn State (home) Auburn plans to counter Penn State's whiteout game with an orange-out. Maybe that backdrop will help the Tigers defend quarterback Sean Clifford better than last year, when he was 28-for-32 passing. The Nittany Lions lack running options. High-pressure road game for coach James Franklin after receiving a huge extension. THE RIVAL:Who will be Alabama football's toughest opponent in 2022? Ranking all 12 by difficulty SEC BASEBALL:6 things to know about Auburn baseball first baseman Sonny DiChiara 6. LSU (home) Ed Orgeron did a little with a lot. This isn't Orgeron's LSU anymore. New coach Brian Kelly revamped the roster with transfers, including former Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels. Auburn's loaded defensive front should have a field day against a weak offensive line. 5. Arkansas (home) This feels like a must-win home game considering Auburn's other opponents, but the Razorbacks are improving at an alarming pace. The defense added intraconference transfers from LSU, Alabama and Georgia. Oklahoma's Jadon Hazelwood patches the hole left by receiver Treylon Burks. Can quarterback K.J. Jefferson end Arkansas' six-game losing streak to Auburn? 4. Ole Miss (away) Coach Lane Kiffin lost two coordinators, not to mention quarterback Matt Corral. Still, the Rebels' talent is imposing. Auburn's promising defense hopes one thing that doesn't change is Kiffin's fatal temptation to gamble on fourth down. 3. Texas A&M (home) Coach Jimbo Fisher's top-ranked but, uh, much-maligned 2022 signing class has commandeered headlines. Whether he can turn talent into results is another question. The Aggies have three QB1 contenders: five-star Conner Weigman, LSU transfer Max Johnson and Haynes King, whose injury last year gave Zach Calzada an opportunity. Now Calzada might start for Auburn. 2. Georgia (away) The national champions are losing 15 players to the NFL Draft, including eight from the historic 2021 defense. But coach Kirby Smart's recruiting machine motors on. The Bulldogs bring in the No. 3 class, and they have a core of returning stars on offense (tight end Brock Bowers) and defense (defensive lineman Jalen Carter). 1. Alabama (away) Lost the title, but still the best. Heisman winner Bryce Young is back. Edge Will Anderson Jr. is back, spearheading what could be coach Nick Saban's greatest defensive front. Oh, and the average score of the last five Iron Bowls in Tuscaloosa? Alabama 45.6, Auburn 18.
  14. AUBURN, Alabama—Already learning that its week three game against Penn State will be a 2:30 p.m. start on CBS, the Auburn Tigers found out on Thursday that the season will open with a pair of night games against Mercer and San Jose State following the release of the early season TV times by ESPN. The season opener against the Mercer Bears on September 3 will kick at 6:00 p.m. central time and will be available only via streaming at ESPN3 and SEC Network+. Auburn is 12-0 all-time vs. Mercer with the last meeting coming during the 2017 season. That day the Tigers overcame five turnovers to take a 24-10 victory over the Bears at Jordan-Hare Stadium thanks to 128 yards and three rushing touchdowns by Kam Pettway. Game two will be another night kickoff when the San Jose State Spartans come to town. Auburn is 2-0 all-time vs. the Spartans with wins in 2014 and 2015. In the last meeting, Peyton Barber ran for five touchdowns in a 35-21 win with the last one coming with just over four minutes left in the game to seal the win.
  15. he has been called out a million times on lies jj. i believe you are afraid to google the man to learn the truth.
  16. you are right i am way too emotional now. i cannot get past the kids turned into hamburger and requiring dna to be identified. in my hurt and anger i was not trying to make you mad i was and am frustrated by what is happening and will happen again and again. and in my haste i am a five point vet. i would never dare to pretend i fought. anyway i might lurk some but i am going to try to take a break.
  17. i will not waste time nor money on this idiot. he has had docs on prime or netflix and he lied through all of them. but you want to tell me this time is the first time is is telling the truth? you need to google this cat because he is crazier than i am.
  18. that is what your side is doing. and do not tell me to calm down after how damn many of our children have murdered for how many years now? If "guns don't kill people, people kill people" why did the NRA ban guns from this event?and when the ban on assault weapons lapsed mass shootings have tripled. so how are these guns not killing people again? they are an instrument of death and your way is not working. in fact it is getting worse.
  19. you people are arguing about a certain kind of gun when a shotgun would protect your home. and by the way when the assault weapon ban was in effect it worked and as soon as it was allowed to lapse it tripled. and we still have school children mowed down like they were nothing. some turned into hamburger meat. i was not taking a shot at your service dude i was trying to make a point of your motto you seem to love but people are dying. you do not want to hear my points ignore me. i am a vet as well and i will say what i wish on here within boundaries of the rules.
  20. that dude went to prison in case you did not know that. and ol D is a known liar. good grief.ok he was sentenced to five years probation. i edited this earlier but did something wrong. but he is known as a liar.
  21. some on the rights solution....... Here’s what Rep Randy Fine said on Twitter: “I have news for the embarrassment that claims to be our president — try to take our guns and you’ll learn why the Second Amendment was written in the first place.” this is all you guys can come up with? here is what happened when we had assault weapons ban: The president said, in part: “When we passed the assault weapons ban, mass shootings went down. When the law expired, mass shootings tripled.
  22. Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican, said of the shooter in a since-deleted tweet, “It’s a transsexual leftist illegal alien named Salvatore Ramos.” how special and uncaring. now you guys are gaslighting dems or those on the left who are actually trying to save lives instead of ignoring 79 percent of americans who want meaningful change. i guess that NRA blood money is good...........
  23. the only abuse i see is you blaming any and everything and doing nothing. you have shown you do not care who the hell dies as long as you have your mighty peashooter. you even brag about cleaning the worlds gene pool like you glorify death. i hope it is not but it is a bad look in this argument.
