[Aljazeera] A Florida politician who emerged as a central figure in the Justice Department’s sex trafficking investigation into Republican Representative Matt Gaetz pleaded guilty Monday to six federal charges and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of a plea deal.
Joel Greenberg, a longtime associate of Gaetz, appeared in federal court in Orlando, Florida. He pleaded guilty to six of the nearly three dozen charges he faced, including sex trafficking of a minor, and he admitted that he had paid at least one underage girl to have sex with him and other men.
Gaetz, an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, was not mentioned in the plea agreement or during the court hearing.
But Greenberg’s cooperation — as a key figure in the investigation and a close ally of Gaetz — may escalate the potential legal and political liability that the firebrand Florida lawmaker is facing.

Three dozen charges is a lot. Has Joel been a bad little boy or is the FedGov trying to get some leverage? Let's ask Mike Flynn!

Another oddity is that Dominion uses floating point numbers for their vote totals. Votes are things you count. For countable things, a programmer normally uses integer numbers.
Floating point numbers (numbers with a decimal point) are used when you need to do math - stuff like "Compute 0.02 times ThisTotal. Subtract it from ThisTotal and add it to ThatTotal." I believe Dominion calls this feature "race-based voting". Imagining why an honest voting machine has this ability is left as an exercise for the reader.

Problem for Dominion and the DNC is that 'race based voting' didn't work enough so they had to resort to good-ole ballot box stuffing early in the morning...

[BREITBART] Forty-six individuals were shot, five fatally, during another violent mostly peaceful weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway... ’s (D) reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Breitbart News reported 29 people were shot Friday into Saturday night alone in the Windy City, with five of those shooting victims succumbing to their wounds.
On Sunday morning, two Chicago coppers were shot by an individual who opened fire on them in an alley. The officers were both hospitalized but "stable and recovering," according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
By Monday morning at 5:08 a.m., ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times noted the total number of overall shooting victims for the weekend had risen to 46. So it was a bloody Sunday.
Among the weekend’s maimed were a two-year-old girl who "was shot in Little Village on the Southwest side" while riding in the backseat of a vehicle. She was shot just before 7 p.m. Friday, and taken to a hospital in "good condition."
A 13-year-old boy was shot and maimed Sunday morning just before 8 a.m. The boy was on the sidewalk when a vehicle pulled up beside him and someone inside the vehicle opened fire. The boy was struck numerous times and transported to the hospital at death's door.

having so-called Democrats control government anywhere is like it having cancer.
the horror grows, sometimes slowly, sometimes fast. There is a cure, and it is simple. Convince people to vote for Republicans.

[PAGESIX] Prince Harry is taking heat for calling the First Amendment "bonkers" in a recent podcast interview.
The Duke of Sussex made the statement on Dax Shepard’s "Armchair Expert" podcast while discussing what he called the media "feeding frenzy" that arose from his stay at Tyler Perry’s Beverly Hills mansion, the Daily Mail reported.
"I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers," Harry said, according to the report.
"I don’t want to start going down the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one which I don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short time.
"But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalize or exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said," Harry reportedly said.

Harry is so unaware that it was someone in his blood line and their actions that prompted the entire thing in 1792. Come on Harry, why is there the Third Amendment -
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

As far as I can tell, Harry just wants to have his own way all the time, be able to speak his mind and not have anyone contradict him.
In short, be treated like a prince. Which he was some time ago. He could have had everything he wanted on the other side of the Atlantic.

[BIZPACREVIEW] After losing his job in the wake of the 2018 Parkland school shooting, former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is back at work — monitoring the footage from red light cameras in Davie, a town north of Miami, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
Israel will earn $65,000 a year to review video from five cameras and go to court if anyone challenges a ticket.
He had connections that helped him land the job, according to the report. Even though he will be working for the city of Davie, the local police chief is Stephen Kinsey, who was Israel’s undersheriff in Broward County, the Sun-Sentinel said.
[AMERICANTHINKER] Until recently, I both revered and have been fascinated by the bravery, technical prowess, and clever talents for deception one sees in the rough men and women of the FBI who work tirelessly to capture the worst criminals in America and neutralize terrorist threats. That reverence is now dwindling at an accelerating pace given current events. Radical left-wing Democrats in the White House and Congress are rapidly steering the DoJ and FBI away from their core missions of law enforcement to conducting politically motivated investigations more worthy of the KGB and the Stasi, using the pretext of the Capitol riots as an American Reichstag Fire.
Don’t take my word for it. If you search for Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... at the FBI’s website, you get one result! Now check out the MOST WANTED/CAPITOL VIOLENCE page header. It goes on endlessly. Page after page of images captured of anyone in the Capitol on January 6th. FBI Director Wray insists that the FBI did not use geotracking to locate anyone to the right of Mao who was in the Capitol that day. Having worked in Telecom for twenty years, and having been involved in the incorporation of the Enhanced 911 Systems that allow police to use cell towers and GPS to track emergency cellphone calls to their exact location, I know Wray is lying. How else did he get the information in any legal fashion?

...(D - jihadis), thrice-married Somali-American, the second time to her brother, first and third to the father of her children...
is throwing a small tantrum over the fact that the U.S. plans to sell arms to the Israelis as escalations between the Jewish state and the terrorist group Hamas continue.
According to The Hill, Omar called the sale "appalling" because, as she says, Israel has been murdering children:
"It would be appalling for the Biden administration to go through with $735 million in precision-guided weaponry to Netanyahu without any strings attached in the wake of escalating violence and attacks on civilians," Omar said in a statement, referring to the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"If this goes through this will be seen as a green light for continued escalation and will undercut any attempts at brokering a ceasefire," added Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress.
The U.S. and Israel have worked out a deal for $735 million worth of munitions, most of which are Joint Direct Attack Munitions which make "dumb" bombs into precision-guided missiles. This makes Israel’s retaliatory strikes against Hamas more accurate, allowing them to limit the civilian casualties as Hamas continues to use non-military civilians as human shields, including children.
Omar, a continued source of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment, has said that Hamas’s indiscriminate rocket fire into Israeli territory is a war crime, but in light of her comments and stances in the past, this seems more like lip service.
She spends more time referring to Israel as the terrorists instead of the other way around. Meanwhile, she’s declared that the U.S. "should not stand idly by while crimes against humanity are being committed with our backing."

Since she opposes selling precision guided weapons, how about we just sell Israel JDAMs? That way, they can take out the entire city block around their target.

[Just the News] ormer President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to distance himself from his superstar celebrity status in the Republican Party, suggesting that the GOP should pursue pro-American policies rather than build a platform around Trump himself.
The former president made the remarks during a lengthy interview with Rita Cosby on New York's WABC Radio on Thursday night. Asked by Cosby whether or not the rising status of Trump-friendly U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik means that the GOP is the "Republican Party of Trump," Trump demurred.
"Well, look, I'm not looking to have it be the party of Trump, I'm looking to have a great country," he said. "I'm looking to have a country that is run by people that know what they're doing."

The great internet powers have decreed that one can post anything you want on the internet as long as it is a lie. The truth, on the other hand is unacceptable.
Once again, Trump has violated this rule, and will be kept off most media for this new violation.

[BREITBART] Saturday Night Live (SNL) mocked Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) in its May 15 episode, depicting her as an unlikeable oddball appealing only to a fringe of elitist Republicans, despite her months of virtue signaling to leftists by trashing former President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
A "Weekend Update" segment mercilessly kicked Cheney while she is down, focusing on her recent removal as House Republican Conference Chair.
"I was kicked out of the Republican Party," said the Liz Cheney character, played by series regular Kate McKinnon. "I fell down to hell like Lil Nas X, fracked with the devil, and bounced back up onto MSNBC."
"The Republican Party is changing," McKinnon’s Cheney character continued. "I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what I did wrong. Look at me, I am everything a conservative woman is supposed to be: blonde, mean..."
[AMGREATNESS] A newly-obtained video shows United States Capitol Police officers speaking with several January 6 protestors—including Jacob Chansley, the so-called "Q shaman"
... or the QAnon Shaman, who mostly did his thing to acclaim at Antifa protests, and who was described by prosecutors back home as mentally unbalanced...
—inside the Capitol that afternoon.
One officer, identified in the video and confirmed by charging documents as Officer Keith Robishaw, appears to tell Chansely’s group they won’t stop them from entering the building. "We’re not against . . . you need to show us . . . no attacking, no assault, remain calm," Robishaw warns. Chansley and another protestor instruct the crowd to act peacefully. "This has to be peaceful," Chansley yelled. "We have the right to peacefully assemble."
[REDSTATE] These people are horrible at reading the room, aren’t they? Sen. Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto ...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain... (R-UT) once again went full Maddow during an interview recently, when discussing the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
During the conversation on Thursday with HuffPost, the senator stated that the riot was an "insurrection against the Constitution." His comments came as several other Republican politicians weighed in on the incident, some downplaying the severity of the riot.
Romney said the assault on the Capitol building caused several deaths, injuries, and property damage. "I was there," he said. "What happened was a violent mostly peaceful effort to interfere with and prevent the constitutional order of installing a new president."
The politician was one of several GOP senators who voted to convict former President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... for supposedly inciting the riot. Democrats and members of the activist media have been using the incident to smear the conservative movement.
People like Romney and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who was recently removed from her position as GOP House chair, have found it difficult to move on after Trump left office. Along with their friends on the left, these individuals continue fixating over the former president like CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who knows what it might stand for... ’s Ace Newshound Jim Acosta ...CNN's showboating White House correspondent... over his reflection in a mirror.
If only these people had as much energy for the George Floyd riots as they do for the assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Schumer — who is up for reelection in 2022 and trying to keep Democrats in control of the Senate — finds himself trying to juggle competing interests over the fate of the For the People Act, a top legislative priority for the party.
At one end, he’s dealing with a progressive base that wants to get the House-passed bill across the finish line and isn’t interested in substantially narrowing the legislation to make it happen. At the other is Sen. Joe Manchin ...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, even representing his constituents...

The "Never Trump" group unveiled this new Franklin Project, as they call it, in a tweet last week containing a video of several political figures of different ideological stripes, excluding former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... , hobnobbing among themselves.
