Libs Omar, Cortez, Tlaib Serve Pelosi Platter of Ass.

Daily Wire: Cortez, Omar, Tlaib Normalizing Anti-Semitism.

A trio of far-left Democrats are normalizing blatant anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party as leaders in the party idly stand by and refuse to condemn their actions and statements.
[.]
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — all new members of Congress — have all defended anti-Semites or espoused anti-Semitic positions over the last several months.

Vice News: House resolution condemns many things meant to address Omar.

“Why are we doing this?” said Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a New Jersey Democrat, in a closed-door House Democratic Caucus meeting, according to the Washington Post. “We’ve individually and collectively already responded to the fact that we oppose all isms that do not treat people in this country fairly and justly.”

Omar’s progressive colleague in the House, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also publicly pondered why the resolution targeted Omar, specifically, and not other members’ conduct.

NY Post: Watered-down condemnation resolution.

...following a backlash from young Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed down Thursday, instead introducing a kitchen sink resolution[.]
[.]
“Why are we unable to singularly condemn anti-Semitism? Why can’t we call it anti-Semitism and show we’ve learned the lessons of history?” [asked Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.)].

Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), who heads the Foreign Affairs Committee where Omar has a seat, questioned why a move to condemn Omar’s hateful remarks had devolved into little more than an obvious statement that hatred in all its forms is bad.

NPR: Ilhan Omar not named in resolution.

It is the second time that the House voted to condemn anti-Semitism as a rebuke of Omar, although she is not named in either resolution.

Well, no more jokes about Pacific Islanders. Damn!

Townhall: Dems craft non-denouncement denouncement of Anti-Semitism to include "more traditionally persecuted people."

House Democrats reportedly postponed debate on their anti-hate resolution Thursday and...delayed it so they could add more marginalized groups.

Dang, I really enjoy ripping on the PI's.

Cluck Schumer, below, from AIPAC speech, March 2018.

This means it all depends on what the meaning of the words Anti-Semitism is...is. At least I think it is. Is.

What's news? Some old, some new.

A mix of current events and news all crammed into one post.

It's amazing that, in what is over four weeks old, no one can identify the two people in VA DEMOCRAT Gov Ralph "Klansman or Blackface" Northam. No one. No one from the class(es) included in the yearbook, none of the others appearing in other pictures, the staff, the editors. No one.

It's not amazing he hasn't resigned or been forced out of office. The racism of Dems...oh, that's easily overlooked by the party of the KKK. When a political party created from the formation of the KKK rears its ugly head of racism...they receive a "Get out of Racism Charges Free" Card. We learned this long ago with Dem/KKK Grand Kleagle Robert "White Nigger" Byrd. He died in June, 2010. I enjoyed reading his obituary.

VA Dem Gov Ralph "It's me, it's not me in Blackface or KKK"  

Northam and wife Pam "Here, have some cotton" Northam.

Then, Mrs. Ralph Northam, hands out cotton to Black students, asking them to "imagine being a slave." This is the second, most stupid woman on earth. The Queen of Stupid is Joyless Behar. But Mrs. Northam, well, she's really trying to overtake Behar's Number One Spot. Maybe on Passover, April 20, Pam Northam can hand out Swastikas to some Jewish children and ask them to "imagine what it's like being in a concentration camp."

R.Kelly's cries and whining made me laugh! Histrionics...the obvious and expected reactions of an innocent person. R. Kelly...what a little bitch.

Fair Use 107

Anyone hear from Jussie Smollett recently? He's off the MSM radar coverage cycle. The MSM can't and won't continue reporting on a "minority" who stages his own hate attack, blaming it on the political climate and supporters of President Donald Trump.

Nanny Pelosi invokes The Constitution. Who knew she knew about this document? Amazing. Well, live and learn.

An AOC staffer, and maybe AOC too, were photographed eating hamberders. She fumed and became defensive when this news hit the media.

And AOC is under scrutiny for staff mismanagement of campaign funds. She's so brilliant and educated that it's difficult to believe she didn't know, and isn't aware, of the legal ramifications of this.

The satanic Denver International Airport, the center of the NWO, has a talking, interactive gargoyle. What better way for the NWO'ers and Illuminati to hide their agenda in plain sight. I'd like to interact with the gargoyle and ask him it if it approves of child sacrifices and if his/its father is George Soros, aka Gyorgy Schwartz. 'Ya ever notice his first actual birth-name ends in the letters "orgy"?

A doppelganger of sHrillary Clinton spoke at Selma, Alabama. We know it was a doppelganger because she flapped those fat lips of hers for over six minutes, somehow managing to avoid her chronic and usual coughing spells. She didn't lapse into her "spasm zone" either. Well, it wasn't Hillary, it was her doppelganger.

Speaking of Mrs. Clinton, still - somewhere, someone out there - is in possession of her missing emails. They are out there somewhere. They have to be. She also gets a "Get Out of Racism Free Card" because she's a Lib. Her using the term "sand nigger", oh, her party and the MSM spend no time covering this. Is racism subjective dependent upon one's political party affiliation?

From: Hillary Clinton To: Robert Russo Date: 2012-03-05 02:55 Subject: FYI, FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
[.]
"And now the guys in the van are perhaps not quite as nice before, because it is getting late and they want to get back and wonder what have they done to have deserved copping this sand nigger and what are they going to do with him now."

Her using racist terms is nothing new. But she's never held accountable for it.

Ilhan Omar

We should all feel really sorry for Minnesota's radical Islamist-Terrorist sympathizer Congresswohman Ilhan Omar, the anti-Semite elected by the 5th congressional district of Minnesota, which includes the city of Minneapolis. She feels she's being picked on. Oh, The Horrah! The 5th district must be so proud of her. Same for all the Far-Left leaning Jews who live in her district. Yes, 5th district, you elected the cream of the crop with Omar. You get the anti-Semites you elect. Now, live with it.

Bernie Sanders, presidential candidate for the party of Karl Marx, recently demonstrated the Liberal wealth-envy ideology by saying he didn't have a wealthy father - a comparison to Trump's father. Bernie's dad sold paint. Nothing wrong with that. There's also nothing wrong with being a real estate developer.

Bernie is envious that he hasn't accumulated the same amount of wealth as has President Trump. Maybe that's because while Citizen Trump was working (actually working) in developing a successful real estate business, Bernie was actively writing pornography about how women fantasize about being gang raped by several men. Bernie gets a pass on his writings because he's a Commie.

"Rape is Okay", by Bernard Sanders

The Insane Liberal Clown Posse (the ILCP) and their Green New Deal (GND) looks forward to a day without airplanes, hamberders, the internal combustion engine and the use of fossil fuels.

Let's all pretend the ILCP, their GND and all the global warming global cooling climate change data is real, factual and un-rebuttable. In keeping with eliminating those "luxuries", shouldn't the ILCP shut down the entire entertainment industry? Movies, music, concerts, television, theater?

The entertainment industry consumes fossil fuels like Ted Kennedy drank Irish Whiskey. Do we really need movies, television, music? Do we really need computers, cell phones, iPhones? Again, no one - especially this new group of self-righteous pubescent and pre-pubescent crowd who subscribe to the "environmental sky is falling" mentality - bothers to address the issue of child slave labor mining lithium and cobalt. No...the enemy is fossil fuels. Child slave labor? Expendable. "Drill, Baby Drill" is entirely appropriate, for the ILCP, as long as it's cobalt and lithium.

MN Gov Timmy "Celebrity Canned Ham Head" Waltz, Uber-Lib, is making the most of his new-found celebrity-hood as the state's highest elected official. I don't think a day has gone by since he was sworn into office where he hasn't made an appearance somewhere, spouting some silly, hackneyed, rhetoric, that his mug hasn't found its way to a camera.

Timmy is doing all he can do in advancing the confiscation of firearms of legal gun owners. So all you MN Dems who claim you believe in the Second Amendment (who also hunt and competition sport-shoot, which has nothing to do with the Second Amendment anyway), you just keep voting for the candidate with a "D" behind their names because that's how your parents and grandparents voted. Vote for a Republican? They're only for the rich and business sector. Thankfully, the majority-Republican MN Senate should reject any bill seeking to infringe on our Constitutional Right. Or not. I never underestimate the ability of any Republican voting like a Democrat.

Here's a question for the Gun Control Crowd: What common sense gun legislation would you advise that will prevent an active, serving, law enforcement officer from illegally selling guns to gang members?

Every supporter of the Second Amendment needs to view two videos at the Gun Blog Black List (GBBL). The first video is on H.R. 1112 and the second video H.R. 1263.

No food in Venezuela

Not sure what I believe is going on in Venezuela. Is the no-food available anywhere political optics for the world stage? Because other reports show food is plentiful and available.

Those of us who want no part of the ILCP should refrain from calling for resignations or censures of the likes of Minnesota's Pillow Case Congresswohman, Michigan's Talalaia Tlaib or the former NY bartender who now gets to play "Big People" job. Let them run free. Let them speak. Distribute their remarks. Their words and actions work so well against the Libs, let them bury themselves.

A man, illegally carrying a gun - a .9mm - holstered it in the front of, and inside, his pants. He went to adjust it, it fired, the bullet entered just above his penis and exited through his scrotum. Just a reminder that using your crotch as a holster isn't a good choice.

Sharia Law Patrol has been up and running in NYC. Coming soon to a neighborhood like yours. But Libs will be  supportive of this because at least no one will be wearing MAGA hats.

Potential Dem 2020 Prez Candidate Gropin' Joe Biden sure is creepy. You do know Social Climbing Joe, (turns age 78 in November 2020), received FIVE deferments for military service for asthma.

While his asthma kept him out of Vietnam, his asthma, strangely, did not prevent him from playing football, baseball and lifeguard duty. And Biden lied, and continues lying, that the driver who struck and killed his first wife was driving under the influence of alcohol. This is a wholly manufactured lie on Biden's part. That he continues perpetuating this fiction is shameful. But, no one has ever accurately assessed that Liberals are remotely familiar with shame.

Sometimes, while I think Roseanne Barr is "a little too far out there", I think she makes a lot of sense here.

"Carlos Danger" aka Anthony Weiner

Why haven't we heard of any progress on the seized laptop of Huma Abedin and her hubby Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner? (Carlos Danger...). Last I recall reports of what was on that laptop made hardened, NYC cops sick and nauseated by what they viewed. Weiner served only a 15-month prison term. He was granted early release for good behavior. Well, that must be one of the perks in being a Liberal and Clinton loyalist.

The above are just a few of the stories I let sink in over the past few weeks. I guess, maybe, avoiding daily and regular updating eventually leads to long, and perhaps, boring updates like this one.

I'll be back to updating on a more regular basis, but will wait a few days. I know reading something this lengthy sucks. If you've managed to make it through this, you're a far better reader than I am a writer.

Semi truck drives onto Lake Minnetonka

FOX 9 KMSP:  Semi-truck driver drives onto Lake Minnetonka.

According to the Hennepin County Water Patrol, the driver was reportedly making a delivery to a resident on the lake when he drove onto the snow-covered ice.
[.]
According to Jeremy Elshaug, who was on the lake checking on his fish house, he and some other ice-goers helped the truck driver dig out the rig. Elshaug then used his pickup truck to pull the truck to a less snowy area.

A brief update on radio news said the truck driver was following his GPS directions. Minnetonka is a big lake with many homes around it. In certain areas, in winter, with today's diminished visibility - going by GPS - yeah, I can see how driving onto the lake would happen. Lucky the ice is as thick as it is, holding the weight of a semi.

Trump Mocked on 6G but the joke is on the TechTards!

The TechTards are out in full force.

Caution: TechTards advised to have paper bag nearby in the event of hyperventilation. Or, a candy dish filled with Benzos.

President Donald Trump was mocked big-time today by the TechTards for his comments about 5G and 6G technology.

Let's jump to the finish line first.

6G was being discussed in January 25, 2018...(there goes the breathing in and out of the paper bag)...at...the University of California...(grabbing at the candy dish)...of...Santa Barbara! ("Jennifer... I need more Benzos!")

UofC - Santa Barbara "Beyond 5G":

...the focus of the newly established ComSenTer, a $27.5 million center for converged terahertz communications and sensing at UC Santa Barbara, led by UC Santa Barbara professor of electrical and computer engineering professor Mark Rodwell.

“Our center is simply the next next generation of communication and sensing, something that may become ‘6G’,” said Ali Niknejad, ComSenTer associate director and a UC Berkeley professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences.

How could all the TechTards, who are mocking Trump, be unaware aware of a technology conference, at their beloved Santa Barbara that included a UC Berkeley professor?

CISCO - not to be confused with CRISCO, TechTards - was talking about 6G in JANUARY 2019 at THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW IN LAS VEGAS.

ZD Net: Cisco talks 6G at the LV CES Show:

Cisco is looking to a 6G future, CTO of Service Provider Networking Michael Beesley told ZDNet at CES 2019, and already has a rough idea of what 6G will bring when it comes.

According to Beesley, 6G will take around 15 to 20 years to reach peak scale deployment, as the world has only just passed that tipping point for 4G.

Yes, a fully deployed 6G is several years away. But, to repeat part of the above, 4G peak just passed the tipping point, there's still plenty of shelf life remaining. With Tech, the leap to the next level can be well ahead of plans and expectations.

Recall your tech devices and network reliability of ten years ago, their capabilities and limitations and compare them to networks and the devices you have today. Night and day. We could see 6G Beta by the end of 2020.

April 2018: Engerati told us 5G is upon us.

September 2018: Verizon announces "5G is here."

Brad Reed, writing at Raw Story, got the ball rolling in mocking Trump and 6G:

Headline: Trump hilariously mocked after he writes technologically illiterate tweet

Reed's article appears at The New Civil Rights Movement.com:

Headline: ‘We Also Want Time Machines’: Trump Hilariously Mocked After He Posts Technologically Illiterate Tweet

Tom Nicholson, writing at Esquire (via Yahoo):

Headline: Donald Trump Really Wants (Non-Existent) 6G Technology. He Wants It Here And He Wants It Right Now

Sorry TechTards, 6G exists, is alive and well.

Sputnik News: China 6G Hype Premature.

"China is expected to gear up for its conceptual development and trials of 6G as early as 2020 in a bid to lay out policy brush strokes and its own sets of definitions and standards," Asia Times said in a recent article.

Sure, China may be a little overly-optimistic in their plans, but when have TechTards not been overly-optimistic in anything Tech? Especially Green Tech? How's all those solar panels working out? Are we powering all the country from the sun yet? How are EV batteries holding up in winter temperatures? "Can I get me some ethanol here?" All those things happened overnight, right?

Cali's L.A. to San Fran Train to Nowhere. Image: AP

If the TechTards want to justly mock Trump for 6G, the best, and only, ammo they have is that they're right in saying 6G "won't be here tomorrow." The least they can do is get their own mocking right.

That California bullet train from L.A. to San Fran, the Train to Nowhere, WHEN is THAT going to be completed, TechTards? Tomorrow? This year? May 9, 2065? I'd put down money we'll see 6G before that bullet train is operational.

Thank you, TechTards, for bringing your Tech Illiteracy front and center. Don't do the slightest due diligence. Why bother? Print anything. Anything. People will believe it because....because you write it? Not unlike an actor staging a racist attack on himself and maintaining a belief it factually happened.

'Global Britain', UK putting on Big Boy Pants (again?)

The London School of Economics and Political Science: 'Global Britain': Have we lost our marbles?

In an extract from their new United Nations Association report, Jess Gifkins (University of Manchester), Samuel Jarvis (University of Southampton) and Jason Ralph (University of Leeds) warn that Brexit – alongside other factors – is likely to shrink Britain’s global influence.

Whilst the phrase Global Britain has a range of historical connotations, it has been taken on by the UK government as the defining phrase to encapsulate the UK’s foreign policy post-Brexit. Yet despite significant rhetorical references to the phrase, there is still no clarity on what Global Britain might mean, even from a UK perspective.
[.]
Perceptions from the British elite on the impact of Brexit on the UK’s reputation in the UN are bleak. An anonymous interviewee described perceptions of the UK currently as “we’ve lost our marbles” and Former UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock reported that “most other people – almost without exception – think we’ve shot ourselves in the foot”.

Jussie Smollett faked attack to promote his career, get higher pay.

WWL TV: 'Empire' actor faked attack to promote career.

"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett "took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career" when he made a false police report about an attack in Chicago, the city's police superintendent said Thursday.

Smollett also sent a racist and homophobic threatening letter to the Fox studio lot where he works in Chicago before the attack, Supt. Eddie Johnson said. He said Smollett was dissatisfied with his salary.

San Diego Union Tribune: Chicago top PD PO'ed over Smollett staged attack.

When investigators figured out the real motive behind the attack, “quite frankly, it pissed everybody off,” [said Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Thursday morning].

Breitbart: Facing federal U.S. Postal charges.

For filing a false police report, Smollett could face three years in prison and a hefty fine that could include the cost of the investigation. The hate letter could mean federal mail fraud charges.

Chicago Police have a new "person creature of interest" in the horrendous attack on actor Jussie Smollett. The police have released an image of the new suspect from a traffic cam where the attack is believed to have occurred.

Hoda Muthana, ISIS bride. Does she return to the United States?

We are told, not asked, but told to forgive and love our enemies.

What is the right thing to do with Hoda Muthana, the ISIS bride in Syria who now wants to return to America?

USA MacPaper - Montgomery Advertiser: Should Alabama ISIS bride Hoda Muthana be allowed to return home?

An American woman who traveled to the battlefields of Syria and married and had a child with an Islamic State fighter wants to come home and face the U.S. justice system, her family's Florida-based lawyer told USA TODAY.

Hoda Muthana left Hoover, Alabama to join the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, four years ago at age 19. In Syria, she called for Americans to be attacked, and she spread the group's propaganda online.

LifeZette: Hoda Muthana "okay" with beheadings.

[Muthana] "knew about" and was "OK with ISIS beheadings."
[.]
She married three different jihadi fighters while in the Middle East. Her first two husbands, one an Australian jihadist and the other a Tunisian fighter, were killed. The third marriage to a Syrian fighter was reportedly “brief.”

Hoda Muthana

The Feral Irishman: Alabama Woman Who Joined ISIS Wants To Come Home.

This story reminds me of an old Cherokee proverb where a young boy picks up a snake and later cries and moans when the snake bites him. The snake's simple reply to the boy was "well, you knew I was a snake when you picked me up".

There are those on The Left who believe Hoda Muthana is sincere and she should be allowed to return to the U.S. These same individuals on The Left believe, without a shred of proof, that President Donald Trump is a Russian agent. If you don't realize the hypocrisy here, I won't point it out because you will never realize it or admit it. You have pledged your political bias to overrule rational thought.

In my heart, I have forgiven those who have hurt me. In my heart, I do love those who have wronged me. The Bible teaches us to "love our enemies." The Bible does not say we have to have lunch with, or have coffee with, our enemies. I can love those who have wronged me from a distance. I don't need to interact with them and nowhere in the Bible are we told to do this.

Bible.ca: 2 John; 7-11.

However, John (as with Paul) warns that abiding with these deceivers will cause them to "lose those things we worked for." (2 John 8)

To "receive him into your house" shows a willingness to associate with a desire to be a companion with them and share in their false doctrine - this God forbids lest we approve of what they teach.
[.]
I cannot greet a person as a Christian who is not a Christian nor should I condone their false doctrine.

So what do we do about Hoda Muthana? My opinion: We collectively, in our hearts, forgive her. We have to, otherwise, those of us who are Christians cannot honor what our Lord tells us we must do.

Hoda Muthana can remain in Syria. Or, she can reside in any other country that will accept her. But the U.S. should reject any notion of permitting her back into our country.

Input, thought, comments - please. Thank you.

UPDATE - MSN: State Department declares Hoda Muthana won't be allowed back to U.S.

President Donald Trump is taking credit for the State Department's announcement Wednesday that an Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State group in Syria will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S.

Trump tweets: "I have instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees, not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the Country!"

Pompeo announced on Wednesday that Muthana won't be allowed to enter the country with her toddler son because she is not an American citizen, a claim that was challenged by her lawyer.

Muthana is now in a refugee camp in Syria along with others who fled the Islamic State, and says she made a mistake in joining the group.

Pompeo said she has no "legal basis" to claim American citizenship. But her lawyer says the administration's position is based on a "complicated" interpretation of immigration law.

Good! Good for the State Department, President Trump and Pompeo. It's also good to hear Muthana realizes she "made a mistake" aligning herself with ISIS. She may even mean that, I think she does. But...decisions have consequences. The problem here, and also the problem within generalized Liberalism is there are too many people who believe that decisions shouldn't have consequences.

She knew what she was getting into. She played an active role in "hate and harm America." Her legal representation's claim of the "complicated" interpretation of immigration law? We can cut to the chase and call it exactly what it is, a legalese appeal to "Roll out the red carpet and welcome mat for terrorist sympathizers to live in America." No, it doesn't work that way.

We often don't appreciate what we have until we no longer have it. A conscious choice is made to abandon something that is either taken for granted or unappreciated. Until it's gone. Then, it's too late.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Repubilcan, tweeted on Feb. 13: “Democrats in the Judiciary Committee just voted against notifying ICE when an illegal alien fails a background check to buy a gun. They hate ICE so much that they’d keep ICE in the dark when illegals try to get guns!”

If you care about our Second Amendment, contact your Representative and express your concerns about H.R. 8.

Why are the Dems hellbent on keeping law-abiding citizens from legally purchasing firearms? Why are Dems unconcerned about people in the country illegally who acquire firearms that fail a background check?

Roger Stone Crosshairs image of Judge Amy Berman Jackson. When is a crosshair not a crosshair?

Market Watch: Roger Stone's "threatening" instagram of Judge Amy Berman Jackson.

On Monday, Stone posted a photo of Jackson with what appeared to be crosshairs near her head. Later in the day, Stone and his attorneys filed a notice with the court that they recognized the “photograph and comment today was improper and should not have been posted.”

Stone said the photo was “misinterpreted” and that it was “a random photo taken from the Internet.” He dismissed any suggestion that he was trying to threaten the judge as “categorically false.”

Slightly different image of the above found on Reddit.

From the Dan Abrams Production site: 

LawandCrime.com is the only site for live court video, high-profile criminal trials, crazy crime, celebrity justice, and smart legal analysis. Created by TV’s top legal commentator and attorney, Dan Abrams, Law & Crime brings common sense written and video analysis to the often confusing and always intriguing world of the law.

Anyone hear of "Corruption Central"? The only search result I found was a Facebook account by that name, but its last update is October 5, 2014.

It seems with the limited info available, so far, Roger Stone didn't add the cross-hairs. It seems that the cross-hairs might be related to whatever or whoever Corruption Central is.

So when is a cross-hair not a cross-hair? Well, we have these and these as references. Or is it the sun cross? Oddly, one of the earth symbols is identical to the sun cross.

Using the particular image of the judge on his Instagram account is not the best decision made by Roger Stone. But I really don't think he did it deliberately or meant it as a veiled threat. He's not stupid. To the casual observer, yeah, the image likely registers as cross-hairs. Anyone...? Weigh in, leave a comment.

UPDATE: H/T to Pappy who, in the below comments section, noted the symbol preceding "Corruption Central" resembles a Register mark. I am in complete agreement. Thanks, man!

U.S. Hit by BIG Winter Storm

Image weather.gov

AccuWeather: Back-to-back storm blasts.

USA MacPaper via Yahoo: Coast-to-Coast storm; Winter MISERY.

Daily Mail: 39 states facing winter storm; some areas 1 foot of snow.

USA MacPaper - The Spectrum: Snow in Utah. 

Remember winter driving tips, folks. Always drive as fast as you can, the faster your wheels spin the better traction, you'll stop on a dime on slippery roads so braking is rare, don't allow for extra travel time, honk the horn often and never clear away more than a dime-sized hole of snow from the windshield to see through - this will allow you, the driver, more than adequate visibility and the excess snow on your vehicle helps others to see you better.

The weather is entirely our fault. We didn't listen.

Disputed Island has one occupant.

CNN: South Korean widow sole occupant of island.

In 1991, Kim Sin-yeol and her husband made the unusual decision to move to a lonely outcrop of islands at the heart of a long-standing territorial dispute between Japan and South Korea.
[.]
But since the death of her husband, Kim Sung-do, last October, the 81-year-old has been the only permanent resident on the volcanic islands.
[.]
Japan says that South Korea is illegally occupying the rocky islands, which it claims have been its sovereign territory since the 17th century. South Korea says its claim to the islands, believed to be home to underwater gas reserves, dates back to the sixth century.
[.]
While other Koreans have expressed interest in moving to the islands to reinforce their nation's ownership of the territory, local government officials say there are no plans to encourage more people to move there.

"There is only a space for one household to stay (as) residents there," said a government official.

I can't think of a better way (at least for me) how to live. An entire island to yourself. I might even grant a temp Visa to Mrs. D. to visit. IF she insisted...

Kamela Harris No Comment on Jussie Smollett "Hoax" Until Investigation Complete

Kamela Harris, D - 2020 prez candidate, feigned inability in remembering her original Tweet - you know, the one where she rushed to judgment that the assault on Jussie Smollett was, without question, true and racially motivated by hate-filled, far-Right Winger Trump-Maga supporters.

The Blaze: Kamela Harris' cringe-inducing answer to her Smollett tweet:

"Which tweet? What tweet?" a sheepish Harris replied before looking around in a seemingly confused state [Well, her normal state is one of being confused so I think we can all grant her that, right? -DD] as the reporter filled in Harris regarding her own highly publicized Twitter post — and then finally offered the avowed liberal a lifeline: "Jussie Smollett."

Harris raised her eyebrows, paused, stammered a bit, and said, "I will say this about that case. I think the facts are still unfolding, and I'm very concerned obviously." According to the Associated Press, Harris also said, "I think that once the investigation is concluded, then we should all comment, but I'm not going to comment until I know the outcome of that investigation."

Kamela...so willing to avoid leaping to conclusions. Duh-oh:

Harris' immediate reaction Tweet to early reports of Smollett attack.

ABC News: Smollett feels victimized by reports he played a role in the attack:

Smollett's lawyers say the actor feels "victimized" by reports that he played a role in the assault.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's so saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Washington Examiner:  Nigerian brothers who "attacked" Smollett:

“We are not racist. We are not homophobic, and we are not anti-Trump. We were born and raised in Chicago and are American citizens,” brothers Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo said in a statement released by lawyer Gloria Schmidt.
[.]
They were released from the custody of Chicago police Friday after police said "new evidence" indicated they were not suspected of any wrongdoing.
[.]
Smollett had said at the time of the attack that two white men attacked him.

Most importantly, if you hadn't heard, Smollett's Subway sandwich survived, unharmed. The DC Patriot:

Now Fox 32 News’ Rafer Weigel is reporting from a Chicago Police source that Jussie Smollett was seen on surveillance camera still holding his Subway sandwich when he returned to the building after the alleged attack.

Harris, AOC, Pelosi, Cory Booger...any of the Liberals who made instant conclusions that Smollett was attacked by white, MAGA-shouting racists...have any of them ever tweeted they abhor AntiFa violence?

NY Daily News: Al Sharpton says Smollett should face maximum accountability if attack staged. Well, good for Reverend Al. Then again, he does like seeing and hearing his name mentioned in the media.

And, with no intentional reason linking the below clip to the above story - other than it made me laugh, found at You Tube.

Happy President's Day PRESIDENT TRUMP !

Or, as Nancy Pelosi may refer to today as... Arbor Day.

Because...I never get tired or bored watching this clip.

Note the audience reaction. Almost all of them are laughing. There's a few "stiffs". Well, no one ever said that Liberals have a sense of humor.

Stay strong, President Trump; Illegitimi non carborundum.

Jussie Smollett Attack Narrative Falling Apart

But will "SNL" crack any jokes tonight about Jussie Smollett and his attack?

USA MacPaper: Brothers say Smollett paid them to stage attack.

Two Nigerian brothers told Chicago police investigators that they were paid by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett to stage an attack on him, a police source tells USA TODAY.

Deadline Hollywood: Jussie Smollett viewed as "active participant" in "attack".

“We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation,” a Chicago PD statement late Saturday declared. “We’ve reached out to the ‘Empire’ cast member’s attorney to request a follow-up interview.”

Daily Mail: Jessie Smollett hires criminal attorney to represent him.

Jussie Smollett has hired Michael Cohen's high-powered criminal defense attorney, as the police investigation into the attack he reported last month took a sudden shift amid allegations of a hoax.

Attorney Michael Monico, a former federal prosecutor in the Northern District of Illinois, revealed in a radio interview on Thursday in Chicago that he is representing Smollett.

Why would a victim of an attack hire a defense attorney? Well, we know why.

In the near future, we might hear some type of defense logic as this:

"Mr. Smollett was depressed, thinking his character is going to be written out of the television program he's on. He feared for his livelihood. He had bouts of anxiety and depression. He needs to seek treatment, not be punished by the law for falsifying a report. In Mr. Smollett's mind, what he did by staging this attack is a cry for help."

But he wasn't anxiety-ridden and depressed quite enough to head for a Subway shop around 2AM and act his part in a staged attack, appear at a concert a few days after the attack and spending countless hours on social media and traditional media telling people that his version of what occurred is absolutely true and that he is "pissed off" at those who doubt him.
