The large twin-engine aircraft, which was transporting the dogs to shelters in southeastern Wisconsin from Louisiana, crashed on the golf course at the Western Lakes Golf Club in Pewaukee on Tuesday.


Three people and 53 dogs on board all survived, with some of the animals suffering minor injuries like bumps and scrapes. The three people were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.

In the days following the crash, several first responders who worked the scene have adopted the dogs they helped rescue.

"As soon as I found out all of them were okay, my first thought was that, one of them is coming home with me. So this is my little Lucky," Elle Steitzer, a firefighter and EMT at Lake Country Fire Rescue, told ABC Milwaukee affiliate WISN while cradling her new puppy.

"We have never had something quite like this happen before," Deswarte said. "It was a miracle that everybody really was OK."
Matthew Haerter, assistant chief at Lake Country Fire and Rescue, commended the pilot during what he described as a "relatively catastrophic landing." The plane went through trees, losing both its wings, before it belly-landed on the course..........................................

Oh, poor Marg. A victim of a problem she created. Three days on the job and asking for a Pardon. Too bad the Donald didn't give it to you.

Trump exec says he feared firing if he spoke up about scheme

I hope the Court hits these folks hard where it hurts--in the pocketbook.

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan declared McConney a hostile witness after prosecutors complained that he had been far more responsive to defense questioning, even though he was granted immunity to testify as a prosecution witness.


McConney, who still works for the Trump Organization and has a company-paid lawyer, acknowledged on the witness stand Monday that he’s been speaking with company lawyers about his testimony when court wasn’t in session. He said he even performed some tax calculations on their behalf Sunday night.

“I think it is pretty clear to the average observer, he is very helpful to you (the defense),” Merchan said. “On the other hand, it seems like he has a really hard time understanding the people’s questions and he has a hard time, frankly, giving credible answers.”

McConney is scheduled to return to the witness stand on Tuesday. As a hostile witness, he could be subject to several more hours of questioning as prosecutors seek to square his previous trial testimony and his answers to questions during eight grand jury appearances in the last few years.

Hannity and Huckabee say he's now unbeatable after that speech! They are kissing his ass.

I turned on Cnn at 10pm CT and Trump was still droning on and on. They had him on split screen in a box [I had the mute on]. Anyway I watched and later at the end Melania joined him all smiles. Bannon did also-towering about the many Trump body guards. Gosh, Bannon is tall.

Fox News just cut off Donald Trump’s announcement speech mid sentence

@PalmerReport
Most of you still haven’t figured out that these kinds of TV decisions are based on ratings. The real time ratings for Trump’s speech must have been terrible so Fox News pulled the plug.

OMG. SNL's parody of Fox & Friends interviewing Kari Lake is so on point 😆

I do think it is a good segment. Worth a repost if others have missed it.

Now that Lake has lost probably not as relevant but my guess is that she will not fade away IMHO

Court files show evidence Trump handled records marked classified after presidency

This just is sickening and it goes on and on and on.

Story by Hugo Lowell • Sunday


The former US president kept in the desk drawer of his office at the Mar-a-Lago property one document marked “secret” and one marked “confidential” alongside three communications from a book author, a religious leader and a pollster, dated after he departed the White House.

The mixed records could amount to evidence that Trump wilfully retained documents marked classified when he was no longer president as the justice department investigates unauthorised possession of national security materials, concealment of government records, and obstruction.

The classification status of the two documents is in dispute after Trump claimed that all documents at Mar-a-Lago had been declassified before he left office, though no such evidence has emerged and his lawyers have not repeated it in court.


New details about the commingled documents came in a eight-page filing submitted by the US attorney for the southern district of Florida, Juan Antonio Gonzalez, on Saturday to Raymond Dearie, the special master examining whether the 103 documents seized by the FBI should be excluded from the evidence cache.......................
