I was watching local news after the FIFA games on the Spanish channels and they showed this news clip - thought 'Hmm, she looks familiar'. Sure enough - the mug/testimony shot looks nasty - but this is the 'Sherpa' as Tucker Carlson called her when she would come on and spout the most whacko ideas and thoughts.

I remember her on Tucker Carlson. Wasn’t there bad blood when she left? A lawsuit or something?

Yeah - ‘sexual harassment’. I think Tucker’s attitude was like ‘yeah - right - [ten foot pole, etc.]

I remember her. I think Tucker put her on for the entertainment value, as she was a flake.

“It is heartbreaking to see one of our most vulnerable victims abused physically, psychologically or financially.”

Especially heinous when its their own children doing it.

She won’t get more than a slap...maybe restitution and probation. So I hope hell awaits her.

...purely co-incidentally, at 9:30 a.m. this morning I posted on FR a response to an article Dr. Thorne posted. In it, I opined about how general corruption had gotten so bad in America Democrats would steal the last dollar out of their own moms purse.

Then, at 11:09 (one hour and 39 mins later) time4good posted his article about Catherine Jones stealing her 88 year old moms money. So, time4good proved my point for me!!! Little doubt in my mind that Catherine Jones was a democrat.

Thanks!........time4good!

glad to be of service. ;-).

Yeah - the odds are just getting ‘better’ (sadly) - that as prophesied that these last days - lawlessness would greatly increase - and since the Demonrats [sic] are Hell-bent (literally) on doing whatever they please, morals be damned, then it’s no surprise these things will pop up more closely from opining to realization.

I mean, who’d of thought a tranny in the White House would steal a woman’s purse in a store, or a ‘Sherpa’ would institutionalize her mother for some desparate coin, or some electioneers would steal an election or three in broad daylight for power, or some high-end school in Chicago would have a teacher handing out dildos and ‘butt-plugs’ (I have no clue nor want to know), or those in power would unconstitutionally jail fellow citizens for 2 years for misdemeanor trespassing to ‘teach us a lesson to heel’ - or a evil leprechaun would purposely manufacture gain-of-function so his master could usher in cashless societal tracking and transactions with right-hand or forehead digital biometrics ID.

..........good post and your list could go on endlessly. For my kids and grandkids sake, I hope America can recover/reorganize but I’m very pessimistic at this point. Our only kick ass savior out there is Trump. I like DeSantis but I think he is, deep down, a Deep Stater and would sell “the boys” out.

We don’t need anymore Yale grads in the WH either. We need one from A & M or Alabama or Ole Miss or Rice.
