With a nod to Easter..perhaps the US IS a "Christian nation"

BBC - The Passion - Articles - Judas
http://www.bbc.co.uk/thepassion/articles/judas.shtml
Judas was one of the 12 disciples closest to Jesus. Judas offered to betray Jesus(USA) to the religious (RUSSIAN) authorities. They agreed to pay him 30 pieces of silver for doing so. Jesus(USA) knew that Judas was going to do this, but took no action to stop him.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Trump is kind of like Judas..willing to sell us out for "30 pieces of silver"...

I like the Pappias explanation

American Children Are Developing British Accents Watching Too Much ‘Peppa Pig’
By Timothy Roberts

Just in case you have been completely out of the loop in recent years, it’s a good idea for you to get familiar with Peppa Pig. Preschoolers absolutely love this little pig, which is a British cartoon directed and produced by Astley Baker Davies and Entertainment One. It first aired in 2004 in the UK.

Although it got its start in the UK, it is now popular worldwide. It follows Peppa, who is a pig on their adventures along with their family and friends. Along with the popular television show, there are plenty of opportunities for parents to spend money by picking up all of the Peppa Pig merchandise.

It is now being referred to as the Peppa Effect and it seems to be relatively common. The voice that young children are mimicking is of Harley Bird, a 16-year-old voice actor in the UK. She started voicing the beloved pig when she was only five years old and considering the popularity of the show, it’s no surprise that she makes up to $1300 per hour. Harley is pocketing some $15,000 per week according to some sources.

“Harley is the most successful teenage voiceover artist in Britain right now. She is hot property and easily earns £1,000 an hour.”

We may have to wait until January 2021

Democratic president/senate/house

emergency meeting to select a new AG...

that new AG DEMANDS the full report and accompanying investigative materials...AND a comprehensive meeting with Mueller..

That's the ONLY way we will ever truly know what happened..and once there is a realistic redaction done, it gets RELEASED,,, If it's found that Rosenstein/Whitaker/Barr were part of a deliberate cover-up they get indicted..

At that point, it's not a big deal what happens to Trumpster. I think he'll be in enough hot water elsewhere along with his "children"..

There also needs to be a comprehensive look at executive power and protocols..and REAL laws put in place to guard against another criminal/spy occupying the WH.

Woman lives in oldest mall in America after 48 abandoned shops are turned into homes

14:46, 21/03/2019

Our awareness of tiny homes has increased over the past few years, but many of the wonderful examples we’ve seen consist of freestanding, outdoor units. Micro lofts bring the concept indoors.

Providence, Rhode Island is one place where you’ll find these small apartments catching on. They are housed in The Arcade, an 1829 architectural gem and America’s oldest indoor shopping mall. The building itself has been through several rounds of restorations and became a national landmark in the 1970s.

Three levels make up the shopping center, with the first floor being dedicated to retail shops and the second and third floors being tiny lofts. Evan Granoff, the owner, wanted to convert the unused space into something livable and affordable.

There are 48 apartments in The Arcade, and unit sizes are between 225 to 800 square feet. Each comes with basic built-in furniture: a bed with drawers, cushioned bench/seating, refrigerator, and shelves. Since The Arcade is zoned as a rooming house, cooking ranges are not allowed, but microwaves are fine.

British Airways Plane Lands In Edinburgh By Accident..(flight was to land in Dusseldorf)

BY : EMILY MURRAY
https://www.unilad.co.uk/technology/british-airways-plane-lands-in-edinburgh-by-accident/?source=facebook

Passengers on a British Airways plane were shocked when their flight destined for Dusseldorf, Germany, landed in Edinburgh, Scotland, by accident.Flight BA3271 took off from London City Airport earlier today (March 25), and has since been redirected to the correct destination, finally landing in Dusseldorf.

Being awful with directions and maps, I often end up nowhere near where I should be, but a plane landing in the wrong country is something else.

According to BBC News, German firm WDL Aviation ran the flight on behalf of British Airways as part of a leasing deal.The plane followed the wrong flight plan after paperwork was submitted incorrectly, something both air traffic control and the pilot didn’t notice as they were following the instructions laid out in the documents.

WDL Aviation and British Airways are now looking into what happened

People then became frustrated, asking cabin crew if the pilot was being serious and for an explanation.

Sophie added:

The pilot said he had no idea how it had happened. He said it had never happened before and that the crew was trying to work out what we could do.

It became very frustrating. The toilets were blocked and they ran out of snacks. It was also really stuffy.

The plane was sat on the tarmac at Edinburgh for two-and-a-half hours.

USC ... Revoke the Degrees of Alumni Who Got in Through Bribery

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a26908094/usc-revoking-alumni-degrees-college-bribery-scandal/

USC could start revoking alumni degrees for people they believe were admitted via the college admissions bribery scandal, a source told TMZ.

When news came out last week that over 50 high-profile parents, including Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, had been implicated in a fraud scheme to get their kids into top colleges like USC, the school started investigating. A source said USC found eight alumni who they think got admitted through fraud.

They believe all eight of them used the same Athletic Placement Services scheme that Olivia Jade and her sister Bella used. Basically, they were allegedly admitted to the school because they were designated as recruits for sports teams, even though they didn't play those sports.

Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti is arrested on charges of trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to reveal negative publicity.
Avenatti also is charged in a separate federal case of embezzling a client’s money “in order to pay his own expense and debts,” and of “defrauding a bank in Mississippi.”
Avenatti had represented porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Trump and his former lawyer Michael Cohen related to a nondisclosure agreement she had signed on the eve of the 2016 presidential election to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.

Watergate v whatever the hell "this" was/is

Watergate was wall-to-wall TELEVISED.

I was in my 20's then and at the time thought "what a bore", but because of the wonder of tape, we STILL have all of it to re-view and compare things to. Because it was televised, we ALL had the opportunity to watch the people squirm, and could evaluate their testimony ourselves.

What we had this time was in secret 99.999% of it, so all we "have" is other people's interpretations/pontifications/musings.

I know this is not over, BUT for most people who do not follow this stuff like WE do, it IS over.

All the future legal gymnastics that are yet to come, will likely be seen as "piling on" and not amounting to much.

The sad fact is that he got away with it again,

There are real candidates who are trying to position themselves to remove this nut, and hopefully someone will find the secret sauce that will beat him.

Facts:

Until ToxicTrump, the CIA/FBI/NSA/Justice Dept were considered neutral/apolitical/non-partisan (for the most part). This was because the appointed ones were long-timers who were appointed by MANY presidents of both parties, and the rank-and-file were competent people who did not "choose sides".

ANY candidate seen cavorting with Russians would have been suspect.

The reporting of the initial investigation was SHOT DOWN by Mitch McConnell.

Obama & co were probably okay with this, since Hillary was most likely to win, and would sort it all out later.

The dossier's existence was brought to the attention of Trump because IT HAD TO BE REPORTED. The fact that HE took it as a threat was only because he knew he was guilty as sin. He has the "extreme revenge gene", so he declared war on anyone who could possibly "hurt" him by exposing him.

The man has no shame and will say anything and do whatever is necessary to keep the money coming in for his family.

The people who investigated/evaluated are mostly REPUBLICANS.
