It's not Law enforcement here - it's a politically motivated process. As for hush money, the payoff the threat scenario is played out everyday by wealthy people. What part of the payoff made it illegal, by the way? Think about the way this stripper will live from now on, people will yell obscenties at here and spit on her. Hope if was worth it.

Funny you should mention it, I thought she was one of Kim Jong-un's daughters/wives. They all seem to visit the same trough.

Hmmm... Self deprecating humor, or a lucid remembrance? https://twitter.com/AZgeopolitics/status/1632840930779623427?s=20

Agreed. I was basically watching everyone except MV, and that worked out pretty well. I found it interesting that Sky did not even interview MV in their post-race show. Toto basically said they were screwed until a new car can be built, he added that it was their worst race. Sorry about that Toto!

Have another WSJ piece today, with interesting news regarding natural immunity (pasted the beginning of it after the link): https://www.wsj.com/articles/three-years-late-the-lancet-recognizes-natural-immunity-great-barrington-declaration-tech-censor-antibodies-mandates-b3ba912c?mod=hp_opin_pos_4#cxrecs_s The Lancet medical journal this month published a review of 65 studies that concluded prior infection with Covid—i.e., natural immunity—is at least as protective as two doses of mRNA vaccines. The most surprising news was that the study made the mainstream press. “Immunity acquired from a Covid infection is as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death, study finds,” NBC reported on Feb. 16. The study found that prior infection offered 78.6% protection against reinfection from the original Wuhan, Alpha or Delta variants at 40 weeks, which slipped to 36.1% against Omicron. Protection against severe illness remained around 90% across all variants after 40 weeks. These results exceed what other studies have found for two and even three mRNA doses. This comes after nearly three years of public-health officials’ dismissing the same hypothesis. But now that experts at the University of Washington have confirmed it in a leading—and left-leaning—journal, it’s fit to print.

There is a very complete story on the WSJ today about this. Let me apologize in advance for those of you who do not have a subscription, I'll post the first few lines from the story below: https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-origin-china-lab-leak-807b7b0a?mod=hp_lead_pos1 The U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress. The shift by the Energy Department, which previously was undecided on how the virus emerged, is noted in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’s office. The new report highlights how different parts of the intelligence community have arrived at disparate judgments about the pandemic’s origin. The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory. Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided. The Energy Department’s conclusion is the result of new intelligence and is significant because the agency has considerable scientific expertise and oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, some of which conduct advanced biological research. The Energy Department made its judgment with “low confidence,” according to people who have read the classified report. The FBI previously came to the conclusion that the pandemic was likely the result of a lab leak in 2021 with “moderate confidence” and still holds to this view.

Thanks Huggy, I want to point out the obvious here for those ten-percent who didn't catch the skill level here. Not only did he maneuver to place the balloon and accoutrement in the frame, the shadow of the aircraft is on the side of the balloon as well. Best selfie indeed!

When I saw the picture, I thought for sure there would be Canadians involved somehow. Maybe it's just my goose hunting upbringing.

LOL Just how do you propose we "Take them out?"

Did one of these get away?

Thanks. These guys have a written transcript of the comms audio: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/the-operation-to-down-chinas-spy-balloon-in-moment-by-moment-audio

Well thank god we have experts like this, who can weigh-in and tell us what's really going on. I wonder if he is an expert on anything else we can count-on, because there are so many things I just don't have an answer for - like chemtrails.

Receiving now? Sorry. However, I do want to thank you for the ToL link (above), I have a subscription and think that is well worth $2./mo.

You know, I can't actually think if a better way to prove that!

Yes

We won't be providing M1's with current ceramic (or other fancy) armor. These have to be removed, and an older technology needs to be put in place. Don't know if these will come from our own inventory, or we steal them from the export line (which already lack the fancy and more capable armor). So then, how does one make a comparison?

Not to break the train of documents here, there's this from today. The video (Published by the WH) is subtle, but scary: https://nypost.com/2023/01/25/biden-mislabels-ukraine-as-aggressor-while-announcing-tanks-to-kyiv/

Okay, so I realize this isn't the most important thing ever, but you may find amusement with this. Perhaps, we can start to call him "Mr. Natural?"

Seems like he is already pretty desiccated.

Looks like a poorly implemented chemtrail dispenser.

It seems as though your sarcasm has escaped (me).

Is that an anchor tattoo on her right foot? Maybe an indication of previous bad choices on her part. LOL

Give a whole new meaning to the term nostalgia.

I have heard him speak (in person), and he is a good speaker. If you want to see how sharp his skills are on that, just Youtube his speech before congress, and the number of people he was able to call out by name and compliment them. Our present POTUS is so far below Trump's skill level, no comparison can be made. Of course, he has actually said some jackass things, and I'm sure that's what you're referring to. None the less, he is not stupid.

Trump's only hope was going to be rational behavior until the election. But, he has doubled-down on the clown (sorry). Defensive downward spiral? We should (for fun) be thinking up silly/jackass things he can do over the next couple of years to further distance people. I'll start: A new superhero movie franchise, starring D. Trump. What will his superpowers be like? How many does he save, how many must die? Anyway, you get the idea - I've finally had it.
