"We've Finally Found Something Lawyers Won't Do for Money: Sue the Department of Justice to Release Nashville Killer's Manifesto"
Glenn Greenwald: "We’ve spoken with 2 major law firms in Nashville who said they’d send retainer letters to represent us suing FBI and the Nashville PD to obtain the manifesto of the Nashville shooter, only to back out at the last second.
The political pressures are intense. We should see it.
[USATODAY] Two teen brothers and a 20-year-old man have been arrested and charged with murder in connection to a mass shooting at a Sweet 16 party in Alabama that killed four people and maimed dozens more, officials announced Wednesday.
Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, both of Tuskegee, were arrested Tuesday in nearby Macon County and charged with four counts of reckless murder in the Saturday shooting at a Dadeville birthday party that also injured 32, officials said at a presser.
A third man, Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., 20, of Auburn, was arrested Wednesday afternoon and faces the same charges, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced.
The teen brothers are being charged as adults, District Attorney Mike Segrest said. The suspects will get a bond hearing within 72 hours, and the state plans to request no bond, officials said.
Reckless murder is a Class A felony with a punishment range of 10 to 99 years in prison. In Alabama, juveniles 16 and older are automatically charged as adults for such felonies.

So from the photos of the 4 so far murdered victims
(Phil Dowdell, KeKe Smith, Corbin Holston and Siah Collins,)
An the photos of the 3 charged with their MURDERS
(Wilson LaMar Hill Jr. and brothers Travis McCullough and Tyreese “Ty Reik” McCullough )
it seems it a B.O.B. mass shooting. Which the MSM is going to great lengths to avoid?
The LSD & their media calls for more GUN Laws are plain ass stupid.
Given, 2 of the 3 arrested for murder were NOT of the legal age to purchase, own, or carry any firearm and the 20 y/o could not have a pistol either.
Simply stated, criminals DO NOT OBEY LAWS and honest citizens are dying by following more and more restrictive unconstitutional laws that are placing them and their families at risk.
PLUS
How about a State/Federal Death Penalty Case only Court system?
Where the case and all appeals are heard within 5 years and then the execution is performed? This 20+ years of appeals to delay execution needs to end.

^^^ Well, in Kansas City we FINALLY have a white man shooting a black man. When I was a captive audience on the treadmill at the gym yesteday, CNN was going into raptures about it and playing the race card for all it was worth.

Today I came across a story just like the one King imagined in his tweet. It happened in North Carolina. Here’s what took place according to local news reports. A group of children were playing basketball outside. The ball rolled into a neighbors yard and they went to get it. That neighbor was 24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary. He allegedly made threats to kill people and then opened fire striking six-year-old Kinsley White in the face and shooting her father in the back. Singletary is black and Kinsley White and her father are white.
Singletary fled the scene and there is now a manhunt for him. He has a recent history of violence.

[Spacedotcom]The 165-foot-tall (50 m) Starship upper stage was supposed to separate from the Super Heavy first stage about three minutes after liftoff, but that never happened. The two vehicles remained connected, and the stack began to tumble, ultimately exploding — or experiencing a "rapid unscheduled disassembly," as SpaceX terms it — just under four minutes after launch.

Well they had stated that just getting off the launch pad and clearing the tower was a success and every thing else was gravy.
Either way they got some nice data from the flight to improve future builds.
[NYPost] A visitor to Auschwitz is facing backlash after she smiled and struck a modeling pose for a photo while sitting on the railroad tracks leading into the former concentration camp.
The visitor appeared to be unmoved by the solemn site in Poland as a photographer crouched to snap the shot on the tracks where trains carried hundreds of thousands of Jews and others to their deaths.
Maria Murphy, a producer with GB News, captured the tone-deaf duo in the tasteless act on Saturday.
“Today I had one of the most harrowing experiences of my life. Regrettably it didn’t seem everyone there found it quite so poignant,” she said in a tweet.
The woman, wearing a red flannel shirt, black top and black pants, is smiling as she gazes skyward while visitors walk toward the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. Read the rest at the link

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] And so it begins.
A tornado has left a trail of destruction across Oklahoma and Kansas, killing at least two people, levelling homes and leaving tens of thousands without power
Several other states are under severe weather watches as the twister system continues to leave a trail of destruction across the Midwest
Authorities are urging residents to seek shelter, as the storm comes after multiple tornadoes have hammered the Midwest in recent weeks
We had an area Tornado Warning a couple months back. Nothing really, don't even think anything touched the ground. Scared the bejeebus out of the new residents. Went over procedure with them, what to have in their emergency kit, how to track storms, and that it can get a bit hairier. I did not tell them what that was, was just a bit of wind and that sometimes -this- happens.
They were familiar with last year's locally famous tornado in Andover, KS. But that was a nice, pretty, ready to audition in the movie Twister tornado. They were not ready for sirens after dark.

I've been in two tornados, one in Enid, Oklahoma in 1955 and one in Headland, Alabama, where stuff was destroyed all but our houses were spared. I will never forget the sound or the devistation.

[FoxNews] New analysis into what may have caused the condition often called "Havana Syndrome" – where victims feel intense pain and potentially momentary cognitive dysfunction – suspected to be sourced from directed microwave attacks at places like the U.S. embassy in the Cuban capital.
On "Special Report," anchor Bret Baier spoke with the suspected "patient zero" of Havana Syndrome, a former U.S. diplomat named Adam.
The first cases reportedly cropped up in 2016, as American officials around the world complained of similar symptoms – vertigo, headache and "brain fog," – at times long-lasting. Experts soon believed the source to be radiofrequency or microwave energy, but the culprit or culprits remained at-large.
Adam, stationed at the time in Cuba, said he'd awake in a "pool of my own blood on my pillow from gushing nosebleeds," without explanation. He also experienced cranial pressure and "stabbing" ear pain that led to blackouts.
"The majority of the people I know who I've talked to about this, who do know the field agree It certainly fits with a microwave beam as the attacking element," he said.
Adam sad the U.S. intel report on Havana Syndrome that concluded it is "very unlikely a foreign adversary is responsible" and cited potential "preexisting conditions and conventional illnesses, and environmental factors" was a "travesty."
"I wasn't interviewed for the CIA report. If it was that comprehensive, you think you'd want to go back to the 'patient zero' and ask questions," he said.
Microwave expert and physicist James Benford said it is clear the victims were attacked by some other entity.

Remember the lasers being used as long range microphones? I always wondered if there was active foreign microwave snooping, real or hypothetical, that was mixing with US installed defensive microwave emitters. Accidental poisoning as it were.
[GEO.TV] The Duke of Sussex admits he was coaxed to rebel against his family by Iraqi leaders rebel group ahead of his deployment in the country war zone.
Recalling details from the incident, Harry pens: "Another bad boy leader invoked my mother. He said that I should learn from her example, break away from my family. Rebel against the imperialists, Harry. Or else, he warned, a prince’s ’blood will flow into our desert.’"
Harry reveals he was later stopped from going to the country by British intelligence forces, who predicted grave threat for the Prince.

[AlAhram] A 24-year-old man who allegedly threw an explosive at Prime Minister Fumio Kishida wanted to be a politician and believed that he was unfairly blocked from running for Japan's parliament by an age requirement, according to media reports and social media posts that appeared to be his.
The suspect, Ryuji Kimura, was wrestled to the ground and arrested Saturday at a campaign event in the fishing port of Saikazaki, in the western Japanese city of Wakayama. The explosive, believed to be a pipe bomb, landed near Kishida, who escaped unhurt.
Kimura has refused to talk to police, but local media reports that he bore grievances about Japan's election system might shed light on his motives.
In June last year Kimura, who police said is unemployed, filed a lawsuit with the Kobe District Court claiming that he should have been allowed to register for the July 2022 Upper House election, according to Japanese media including NHK public television and Kyodo News.
A candidate must be aged 30 years or older and present a 3 million yen ($22,260) deposit to run for the upper house, the less powerful of Japan’s two-chamber parliament. He was 23 at the time.
He demanded the government pay 100,000 yen ($740) in compensation for his psychological anguish, according to the reports.
Violent crimes are rare in Japan. With its strict gun control laws, the country has only a handful of gun-related crimes annually, most of them gang-related.
But in recent years Japanese police have worried about "lone offender" attacks with homemade guns and explosives. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated with a homemade gun at a campaign event on July 8, just two days before the upper house election.
In a document he submitted to the court, Kimura argued that the election system that blocked his candidacy was unconstitutional, the reports said.
Kimura argued that the election law violates constitutional guarantees of equality and other rights, according to media reports. The court dismissed his claim in a November 2022 ruling, and Kimura appealed the decision to the Osaka High Court, whose decision is expected in May, reports say.
Tweets posted to an account cited by local media as Kimura's and seen by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named complained about Japan's political system.
The account does not carry his name, but identifies itself as representing the plaintiff in a lawsuit that matches the one filed by Kimura. The News Agency that Dare Not be Named was not able to contact the owner of the account. The account had only 23 posts since it began in late June.
An Aug. 11, 2022 tweet said the deck is stacked against ordinary people who quit their job and pay the deposit to run in national elections. "There is an established system where ordinary people can never become politicians."
Other tweets on the account criticized Kishida's decision to hold a state funeral for Abe.
The man accused of shooting Abe, Tetsuya Yamagami, told authorities soon after his arrest that he killed Abe because of the former prime minister’s apparent links to a religious group that Yamagami hated.
In statements and in social media posts attributed to him, Yamagami said his mother’s donations to the Unification Church bankrupted his family and ruined his life.
[YouTube] There's still a debate about whether Covid-19 escaped from a lab in China. But even if China has managed to scuttle investigations into its origin and create uncertainty about whether it was man made, what's clear is that China has all the right conditions for a contagious and deadly virus to leak and create a pandemic. In this episode of China Uncensored, we explain why China will be the reason for the next pandemic, what Chinese media say about poor conditions in Chinese biolabs, and why the whole world should be concerned about what's going on in China.
[HOT AIR] The pandemic work-from-home era may have started the demise of the city office space, but the Biden administration’s spending spree is surely going to finish it off with its resultant inflation and shaky response to a teetering banking system.
Where the trend for decades had been building bigger, glitzier office spaces, sub-leasing the excess to smaller outfits wanting that address near the action, and investors threw money at all of it — the firms building and the firms occupying — now the reverse is true. And there’s a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on.
[Shafaq News] US crude oil inventories fell more than expected last week, due to refinery consumption and rising exports, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Crude inventories (USOILC=ECI) fell 4.6 million barrels in the week to April 14, four times more than analysts had predicted.
EIA said that refinery consumption of crude increased by 259,000 barrels per day, while Refinery utilization rates (USOIRU=ECI) rose by 1.7 percent to 91% of their total capacity. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... gasoline stocks rose unexpectedly by 1.3 million barrels to 223.5 million barrels, compared to analysts' expectations for a decline of 1.6 million barrels.
The data also showed a decline in distillate stockpiles, including diesel and heating oil, by 400,000 barrels to 112.1 million barrels.
EIA said that net crude imports fell by 1.74 million barrels per day, while exports rose by 1.84 million bpd.

"...net crude imports fell by 1.74 million barrels per day, while exports rose by 1.84 million bpd."
So we export 740,000 barrels per day more than we import? In other words, we don't need to import anything and could reduce the cost of crude by the transport and intermediate handling costs? What am I missing besides the utter stupidity of American Energy Policy?
[Laura Loomer] On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, just one day after he was hosted in Washington DC by the Heritage Foundation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is scheduled to make his first appearance in South Carolina, but his entrance into the key-early primary start is already off to a rocky start.
DeSantis will be speaking at Spartanburg at First Baptist North Spartanburg on Asheville Highway at an event scheduled to begin at 7 p.m, but doors open at 5:30 p.m.
DeSantis was invited to speak in South Carolina by State Senator Josh Kimbrell.
Joshua Kimbrell is currently a South Carolina State Senator, representing District 11. He was elected in November 2020....
I have confirmed that Sen. Josh Kimbrell was arrested on October 14, 2014 and charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor under the age of eleven. He was accused of fondling and committing other sexual acts against his three-year-old son, and was held behind bars without bond. Supporters of Kimbrell came to his defense, and he blamed the charges on his ex-wife, Kacy Kimbrell. Yup, they'll do that
The charges were eventually dropped by the Thirteenth Circuit Solicitor, Walt Wilkins, in February 2015, four months after Kimbrell’s initial arrest. Wilkins stated, "Upon receiving this case from the Greenville Police Department and completing an investigation spanning almost four months, my office has determined that there is insufficient evidence to prove the elements of this crime beyond a reasonable doubt."
However, the Greenville Police argued otherwise, and released a statement supporting their decision to arrest Josh Kimbrell, and the charges filed against him. Greenville Police, which made the initial arrest, also put out a statement and stood by their decision to arrest Kimbrell. "We understand that the solicitor's office has declined to prosecute the case against Josh Kimbrell. However we stand by the fact that probable cause was established to obtain the warrant for Kimbrell's arrest."...
It is also worth noting that DeSantis’s scheduled event in South Carolina with Kimbrell comes one day after the Daily Mail confirmed my reporting from December 2022 about how DeSantis’s admitted best friend, and one of his donors named Kent Stermon was under investigation for sex with a minor at the time he committed suicide. It's about time the DeSantis hit pieces started to show up in earnest.
Trump as President for 1 term and DeSantis following up for 2 more terms as President might eliminate a lot of the LSD / Deep State Anti-USA agenda 5th column.

[Dawn] The caretaker Punjab government has filed an appeal in the Lahore High Court challenging its stay order against handing over of 45,267 acres of land on a lease to the Pakistan Army for corporate farming.
Assistant Advocate General Mohammad Usman Khan filed the appeal on behalf of the provincial caretaker setup pleading that a single bench passed the stay order without hearing government’s point of view. The appeal contends that the land lease was duly approved by the cabinet, with the objective to protect food and environment.
The LHC on March 31 stopped the handover of 45,267 acres of land on a lease to the Pakistan Army for the purposes of corporate farming. Justice Abid Hussain Chattha at the initial hearing of the petition of the Public Interest Law Association of Pakistan (Pilap) — a not-for-profit legal organisation — noted that the army neither had the jurisdiction to directly or indirectly engage in business ventures outside its scope nor could it claim any state land for corporate agriculture farming. The single bench while passing the order to not hand over the land for corporate farming also had issued notices to the respondents for submission of reports by May 9.
The petition questioned the power of the caretaker government to take the decision of handing over the land. It said the purported handing over of the land was also in violation of the Doctrine of Public Trust, which stated the government was responsible for protecting certain natural resources and cannot give them away to private citizens arbitrarily.
The petitioner also argued that there is no provision in the Pakistan Army Act, 1952 empowering the entity to undertake any activity beyond its scope for welfare unless the federal government expressly granted permission to do so.
The caretaker government of Punjab signed an agreement to hand over at least 45,267 acres of land in three districts — Bhakkar, Khushab, and Sahiwal — of the province to the Pakistan Army for ‘Corporate Agriculture Farming’.
According to a document, the military’s land directorate wrote to the Punjab chief secretary, Board of Revenue and secretaries of the agriculture, forest, livestock and irrigation departments for handing over of 42,724-acre land in Kaloor Kot and Mankera tehsils of Bhakkar, 1,818 acres in Quaidabad and Khushab tehsils of Khushab district, and 725 acres in Chichawatni tehsil of Sahiwal.
The letter referred to a notification of the Punjab government dated Feb 20, 2023, and a joint venture (JV) agreement of March 8. It reminded that “while signing the JV management agreement on March 8, it was decided that state lands immediately required for the project be handed over to Pakistan Army.”
According to informed sources, the JV has been signed between the military, the Punjab government, and private firms dealing with corporate farming.
About the salient features of the proposed project, sources said that the Punjab government would provide the land while the army would utilise its resources and retain the management of the project. The private sector, on the other hand, would invest and provide auxiliary support, including the supply of fertilisers.
Military sources had confirmed this development, stating that the army was “not taking over the ownership of the land as it will remain the property” of the Punjab government. “The intervention of the army will provide a coherent administrative structure,” the sources added.
They said that the land in question was mostly barren, uncultivated, and under-cultivated and added that the army with the assistance of the relevant stakeholders, including its JV partners and locals, would turn this into fertile land.
At least 40pc of the revenue generated from the cultivation would go to the Punjab government, 20 per cent would be spent on modern research and development in the agriculture sector, while the remaining would be used for the succeeding crops and expansion of the project.

[Epoch Times] Some Americans cannot receive another COVID-19 vaccine dose, U.S. regulators said on April 18, as they made sweeping changes to the vaccine system.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the changes, including replacing the old Pfizer and Moderna vaccines with updated bivalent shots that had previously only been available as boosters. Regulators are also scaling back the number of recommended doses for most individuals, including people who haven’t received a shot.
The FDA authorized the original vaccines in late 2020 based on clinical trial efficacy data. The original vaccines targeted the Wuhan virus strain, which hasn’t circulated since 2020. The updated bivalents target the Wuhan strain and the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the Omicron strain. The subvariants were displaced in 2022.
Regulators authorized the bivalents as boosters in 2022 despite no clinical trial data being available. In letters formally announcing the bivalents as replacing the old vaccines, the FDA made clear that scientists aren’t sure whether the bivalents protect against COVID-19.
Dr. Harvey Risch, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, said that he sees the vaccines as largely unnecessary. "The current vaccines are out-of-date, any new ones will be out-of-date by the time they are generally available, and mostly everybody already has SARS-CoV-2 antibodies anyway," Risch told The Epoch Times via email. "At this point, the vaccines are thus not generally useful products for serving a public health function."
The newly rolled out system is for the spring, as officials are planning to meet over the summer to discuss a fall regimen. They plan to adapt COVID-19 vaccines to the influenza model, updating strains in the vaccines each year.

According to official sources, the United States has vaccinated 81.37 of its population, mainly with the mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna.
SIDE NOTE: "By April 2022, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show that about 6 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted, and that’s remained true through at least August 2022 (the most recent month of data)." (KFF.org) Then the data halted?
