[More school killings, this time with a revolver and a shotgun – no semi-autos in sight, yet the killings continue. When do we come to a national conclusion that it is the shooters we should do better at identifying and stopping, rather than taking guns from law abiding citizens? gjr]

We knew it alrady but its nice the IG agrees –
The $4.7 billion spent on America’s stabilization efforts in Afghanistan, mainly under former U.S. President Barack Obama’s watch, has “exacerbated” the war by fueling corruption and bolstering support for Taliban jihadists, a watchdog agency found.
According to the U.S Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), Obama “ensured” the failure of the stabilization efforts in Afghanistan by fostering a time-based approach to the scale and scope of American military operations in Afghanistan.

“Someone claiming to be an employee who works at a store in the loop in Chicago said they hate the new policy because the store bathrooms have turned into a hub for drug activity. “We haven’t been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls,” the user wrote.
The Wall Street Journal reported a Starbucks employee was pricked by a syringe in the bathroom.
Starbucks openly invited bums and drug addicts into their establishment. What could possibly wrong.”

Ah…… I think I understand the confusion. One of the “jon smiths” was trying to make the point that Trump was in over his head and may have make a mistake in his most recent negotiations with 🇰🇵 North Korea. This may eventually prove to be the case but it’s really too early to tell!
I found this analysis funny given the shitty deal that the Obamas B-team State Department cooked up with Iran 🇮🇷 in order to try and give him some sort of a foreign policy legacy!

A clever notion from Old Blighty.
1. Local anti-muslim English nationalist guy takes video footage outside of ‘grooming’ trial.
2. Arrest him for doing illegal thing, evidently you can’t hang out outside of a courthouse with a camera.
3. Immediate trial and sentencing.
(upcoming) 4. Stick in prison with general population in jail filled with Islamic gangs. (upcoming) 5. He gets killed. Win!
Actually, that strikes me as a brilliant idea for dealing with political enemies, especially those that immigrant populations don’t like. You can’t fault the international Green Libertarians for poor tactics.

Team Blue: Thinks that Left wing guy (in the main, his politics are quite leftist from a US standpoint) who is against mass third world immigration and was protesting mass rape of children should be murdered in prison for a non-crime.

“An Ecuador court issued an $18 billion judgement against Chevron in February 2011 for environmental and social harm the company allegedly caused to the Amazon. The amount was later reduced to $9.5 billion, but a U.S. district court in New York nullified the judgement due to fraudulent and illegal activities by Steven Donziger, the lead American lawyer behind the lawsuit, according to the district court ruling.”
And it was still ALL about the money. (they won’t get now)
