  • Sean Hannity Attempts to Persuade Trump, Who Faces 94 Fake Indictments, to Go Easy on Biden’s Gestapo DOJ When He Returns to the White House

    06/06/2024 8:59:01 AM PDT · by Tench_Coxe · 86 replies
    Fox News host Sean Hannity has sparked outrage among conservatives by attempting to get President Donald Trump to go easy on Biden’s Department of Justice. This comes despite Trump facing 94 politically motivated and baseless indictments. (snip) During the interview, Hannity asked Trump a direct question: “Will you pledge to restore equal justice, equal application of our laws, and this practice of weaponization? Is that a promise you’re going to make?”

    Jeremiah Chapter 6, verses 13, 14 | 5 June 2024 | God
    Every truth is in the Bible, but people have strayed far away from it. Something evil this way comes if this nation refuses to repent and turn back to God. The passage says "everyone"...including the religious leaders. Same in this country. Jeremiah 6:13-14 ‬ [13] “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for gain, And from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely. [14] They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ But there is no peace. NASB1995

It looks like the Chinese are trying to piss off Trump supporters by flooding us with crap scam texts.

However, the neighbor returned a week later, requesting to have the fence back. Read on for the full story.

    The Hill ^ | 6/5/2024 | 06/05/24 12:50 PM ET
    Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) suggested that Black families were better off during the Jim Crow era while speaking at a campaign event for former President Trump. Donalds, who is on the shortlist for Trump’s potential vice-presidential pick, was campaigning for the former president in Philadelphia at a “Congress, Cognac, and Cigars” event aimed at garnering Black male voters, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. During the conversation, the freshman lawmaker said he is starting to see the “reinvigoration” of Black families, adding that it is “helping to breathe the revival of a Black middle class in America.” Donalds also claimed that the...
  • Bergman, not Gaetz, is top spender under House reimbursement program: Analysis

    The Hill ^ | 06/04/24 12:14 PM ET | Lauren Irwin
    An analysis by The Washington Post has found that Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) was the top spender last year under the House’s new reimbursement program. The reimbursement program, passed last year by a House panel, allows members to be reimbursed for expenses from living both in their home districts and in Washington. More than 300 members were reimbursed at least $5.2 million in 2023, the Post analysis found. The taxpayer-funded program gives back money to lawmakers for food and lodging while they’re on official business in D.C., but critics of the program say it has very few formal rules and...

    With more than a third of North American homes protected by a video doorbell or some other Wi-Fi-dependent device, it’s reasonable to worry about the growing threat of Wi-Fi jammers. These mysterious devices can override your smart home security monitoring, effectively neutralizing the systems you’ve relied on for peace of mind. Indeed, these increasingly cheap and accessible jamming devices make it easier than ever for criminals to block your security system’s primary communications signal.

    Here is a live stream of the latest attempt to get Starliner off the ground from Nasa Space Flight's youtube channel. Launch is scheduled for 10:52 EDT. This is an instantaneous launch window. If they have any delay it will be scrubbed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rInMeY7m4vA I tried to find the betting odds on it actually getting off the ground today, but couldn't find anything. My bet is 50%. Tomorrow SpaceX is launching Starship Flight Test 4. Launch window starts at 8 am EDT. I give SpaceX 90% chance of getting it off the ground.

    WASHINGTON — The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic held a hearing titled “A Hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci.” This hearing is the first time Dr. Fauci has testified publicly since retiring from public service. Earlier this year, Dr. Fauci appeared in front of the Select Subcommittee for a closed-door, two-day, 14-hour transcribed interview where he testified to serious failures in America’s public health system. During Dr. Fauci’s public hearing, he confirmed previous, concerning testimony and refused to take responsibility for the actions of his office. Members questioned Dr. Fauci about his facilitation and promotion of a singular COVID-19 narrative,...

    Which Animals Are Killed Most Frequently The numbers are staggering. In 1993, a study completed by 25 schools through New England found 1,923 animal deaths, and the data was then extrapolated by the Animal People Newspaper to reveal the following annual number of kills on the 4.1 million miles of roadways in the United States : 41 million squirrels, 26 million cats, 22 million rats, 19 million opossums, 15 million raccoons, six million dogs, and 350,000 deer. However, there is no clear data on the precise number of animals that are victims of vehicles each year. Accidents involving larger animals...

    Family Handyman ^ | 4/10/24 | Toni DeBella
    On Twitter the other day, I ran across a story about a Philadelphia woman who caught a raccoon lounging in her hammock. I once had a similar encounter with a mischievous band of raccoons at my California home. Late one night, I awoke to creaking and squeaking sounds in the backyard. I turned on the porch light to discover a family of raccoons (aka a nursery or gaze) having a grand old time on my son’s playground set. On top of seemingly enjoying swinging, we know that raccoons can also be curious, often rummaging through trash bins looking for dinner....

    I live in rural NE Texas, and we experience power outages often. Some last for days. This year, we've been hammered by bad weather, and this round is the 12th time I've been on generator power this year. I've played the "generator game" for decades, starting off with one that I thought would be just good enough to keep me going, running the bare minimum appliances until the power came back on. This was torture. In my opinion, most people make bad decisions when it comes to buying a generator. They think small, and short run times. The truth is,...
