From Page 8 of the affidavit

"Of most significant concern was that highly classified records were unfoldered, intermixed with other records, and otherwise unproperly [sic] identified."


Captain Sloppy was digging through those files, mixing things up, misfiling them. Maybe looking for something to sell to the Saudis or Russians. Maybe looking for something to blackmail the "Deep State" with if they started coming after him. Our only hope is that, because he can't read too good, he wasn't able to understand what he was digging through

I want to thank Dr. Oz for teaching me the word crudite'

When he first started talking about tequila, I assumed that crudité must be something like a bloody Mary or maybe an alcoholic gazpacho. Now I realize he was telling us that he can't go shopping without getting drunk.

FBI attacker was prolific contributor to Trump's Truth Social website

Source: Washington Post

In the minutes after an armed man in body armor tried to breach an FBI field office in Cincinnati, an account with the suspect’s name, Ricky Shiffer, posted to former president Donald Trump’s social network, Truth Social: “If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I.”

The Shiffer account appeared to be one of Truth Social’s most prolific posters, writing 374 messages there in the past eight days — mostly to echo Trump’s lies about election fraud and, in the hours after FBI agents searched Trump’s Florida home, calling for all-out war. “Be ready to kill the enemy,” Shiffer had posted on Tuesday. “Kill [the FBI] on sight.”

Shiffer was killed Thursday in a shootout, police said, and the Truth Social account has since been taken down. But the calls for pro-Trump violence are still a common presence online — including on Truth Social, where the top “trending topics” Friday morning were “#FBIcorruption” and “DefundTheFBI.”

Trump has repeatedly attacked the FBI and Justice Department officials in public messages, including on Truth Social, where he told his more than 3 million followers Thursday that the Mar-a-Lago search was “a surprise attack, POLITICS, and all the while our Country is going to HELL!”

Thank you President Biden: a drop in the high murder rates from the Trump years (NYTimes)

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/08/briefing/crime-data-us-mass-shootings.html

A Drop in Murders
Despite the grim headlines, 2022 is less violent so far than last year

Crime, murder and mass shootings have dominated headlines this year. Just over the weekend, a shooting in Cincinnati wounded nine people, and another in Detroit killed one and wounded four.

But the full crime data tells a different story. Nationwide, shootings are down 4 percent this year compared to the same time last year. In big cities, murders are down 3 percent. If the decrease in murders continues for the rest of 2022, it will be the first year since 2018 in which they fell in the U.S.


So it's not just gas prices heading in the right direction.

Jeremy Corbin warns voters "Please don't vote for me!"

I might be paraphrasing a bit...

Jeremy Corbyn urges west to stop arming Ukraine
Ex-Labour leader also tells Beirut-based TV channel he was criticised over antisemitism because of stance on Palestine


This guy has held Labour back for so long. I mean, I think Isreal should be held to accout for treatment of the Palestinians too. But if you're taking a moral stance on grounds of human rights, why kowtow to Russia on Ukraine? Such a sad confused ideological old man

Creationists are like: "Have you ever SEEN evolution happen?" -- Yes, yes we have

Here's several examples of rapid natural selection changing the genetic structure of species, and in the case of London mosquitoes actually creating a brand new species
