Anyone remember Paul Howard, the District Attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, who charged Atlanta Police Officer Garret Rolfe with felony murder — a potential death penalty offense — after Rolfe shot and killed fleeing felon Rayshard Brooks? Well, he lost his primary to Fani Willis, a woman who was formerly one of his top deputies. Howard is also under criminal investigation over some federal funds that wound up in his pockets, and not where they belonged.


Joe Biden called for a national mask mandate today. He claimed it would save an additional 40,000 lives over the next three months. He then scurried off before anyone could ask any questions.


The Trump administration has rolled back yet another Obama era policy. There are, once again, no direct flights to Cuba from the US.

And in what I suspect is a bit of trolling on the administration’s part, the rollback was announced on what would have been Fidel Castro’s 94th birthday.


AntiFa/BLM rioters returned to the federal Courthouse in Portland. Unfortunately for them the Portland PD was there and ready for them.

This is what it looks like when the police are allowed to do their jobs. Had they been allowed from the start, none of this would have happened.


I’ve mentioned the ship leaking oil into the waters off Mauritius before. The MV Wakashio wrecked after striking a reef on July 25. Since then, it has leaked about 2.2 million pounds, or 225,000 gallons of oil.



Bernie Sanders’ former national press secretary Briahna Joy Gray is not happy with the choice of Kamala Harris as VP.

I dont think she’s alone in holding that sentiment. She’s just saying the quiet part out loud. . . .
