What in the actual F is this?  Pretty soon relatives of lawbreakers will go to jail too like in North Korea. 

A Court Just Ruled Collective Punishment Is Legal in America

But days after Debi’s daughter stole the van, Debi and her landlord received a letter from the Granite City Police Department. Regardless of the landlord’s preferences, the police said Debi and Andy had to be evicted because of their association with a lawbreaker.

15 US generals and admirals now employed by Saudi Arabia since 2016.  Along with 500 military personnel.

I just saw that. Apparently we told people working for the chip  manufacturers in China they would lose their citizenship if they continued working for or helping the Chinese. Need to do the same thing for military subcontractors. I get it that it can be a big windfall for them.  They can make their $ working for allies. The Saudis went to war with US Shale in 2016 by flooding the market with oil to lower prices and now they are trying to formally join up with China and Russia.

Holy S#!t, did they learn nothing?

Boston University researchers’ testing of lab-made version of Covid virus draws government scrutiny

But it has become apparent that the research team did not clear the work with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which was one of the funders of the project. The agency indicated it is going to be looking for some answers as to why it first learned of the work through media reports.

edited to add-

Nor did the group make clear that it was doing experiments that might involve enhancing a pathogen of pandemic potential in the progress reports it provided to NIAID.

3 killed in illegal Chicago drag racing shootings

The politicians say nothing can be done.  Especially the final quote:

“You cannot ask (police) to come to an event where there are literally 200 people in cars with weapons.”

Uh, I think if there are 200 people with weapons breaking the law and you know when and where they are, that's exactly where the police should be.

So they're basically admitting laws are only enforceable if people willingly submit. 

And they wonder why I refuse to budge on the gun "issue"

I was ready to come off on the alderman complaining about police presence as I know the Chicago area is controlled by defund the police politicians. But then I read this Alderman Lopez on community safety

Lopez is the minority.

My son stumbled across one of those events awhile back. Said it was a blast to watch. Maybe they should publicize and sell tickets?

It's been awhile since I've been to Chicago but I recall there being some decent open spaces west and south of downtown where they razed those old projects buildings. Maybe use spaces like that for racing.

We don't have those problems out in the country.  Embrace it instead of fighting it. People just trying to have fun in a shitty world.

Twitter employees list demands for new owner Elon Musk.

I almost posted this in Comic Relief.  It's as funny as can be.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/twitter-workers-mocked-open-letter-saying-musks-twitter-plans-threaten-our-livelihoods-so-entitled

I'd make them all janitors. The ones that are left anyway. 

As far as severance, I'd give them a foot in their ass on the way out the door if it's a right to work state. 

So tired of these tech babies. As far as political discrimination, maybe they should shut up about their affiliation while at work.

Update on story I posted earlier in the year about the body of a 5-year-old boy found in a suitcase in Southern Indiana. The boy has been identified and the mother, who remains at-large, has been charged in his murder.  Her fingerprints match ones that were found on the trash bag he was wrapped in.  Her accomplice was arrested in California.

Not sure where to put this one....

Listening to Sirius XM on the way in and an ad came on. Gillette has created a new product for men--Intimate--made to "keep your pubic hair region neat and tidy" and to "show it the respect it's never gotten before."

Can't make this up....R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!

 

"I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my propers when you get home"

China buys 1400 acres in Florida for secret medical experiments on primates.

What could go wrong?

https://nypost.com/2022/11/02/florida-land-buy-for-chinese-primate-testing-wont-end-well/

People don't realize the CCP owns these businesses and uses them to buy US real estate.  

China is the biggest enemy of the US and the 21st centuries biggest global threat.
