    Trevor Noah last night..." I stood here tonight and I made fun of the President of the United State and I'm going to be fine."

    Russia if you're listening.

    Unfortunately for FREEDOM in this country, that is true.

    It will happen in 26 states this summer for sure, and probably all of America at some point in the future when Republicans gain majorities in both chambers and the WH -- despite the large majority of Americans supporting women's freedom to choose.

    Democratic Sen. Tom Carper
    violated a federal conflicts-of-interest law an_light

    Carper's office acknowledged the violation after Insider inquired
    about the senator's disclosure.
    A "simple clerical error" caused the late disclosure, Carper
    spokesperson Rachel Levitan said in an email.

    Members of Congress face a minimum $200 fine for an initial violation
    of the STOCK Act's disclosure provisions, which require federal
    lawmakers to publicly account for stock trades within 30- to 45-days
    after a trade is made, depending on the type of trade.

    Abortion won't be outlawed, it will be decided upon in each of the 50 states individually which is the way it should have been done. No need for federal mandates...

    I doubt that the 'fab five' has been laid since the bicentennial so what does it matter to them anyway?

    Democrat flips GOP Michigan seat
    after GOP candidate's stupid remarks

     

    LANSING, Mich. (AP) —
    A Democratic legislative candidate in Michigan won a special election for a heavily Republican seat over a GOP opponent, Robert Regan, who made controversial comments about rape, Russia’s war in Ukraine and other issues, narrowing Republicans’ state House majority.

    an_light Regan infamously stated:
         “Well if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it."

    He also had called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
    a   “fake war    just like the fake pandemic"
    and
    had shared antisemitic social media posts.

    Judge Nathan, running a tight ship, DENIES a request by Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer for a two-day extension on her sentencing memo.

    Damn, she's hardcore & hasn't given anyone up yet. She's a young 60 but is going to shrivel up in prison while all the famous people who used her services go on with their lives.

    Angry Sri Lankans destroyed and damaged dozens of homes

    what they say is the government’s mishandling of the country’s
    worst economic crisis since 1948.

    McDonald's is leaving Russia altogether


    New York (CNN Business) May 16


    McDonald's became the symbol of glasnost in action 30 years ago.
    The burger chain will sell its Russia business, saying the
    "humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, and the
    precipitating unpredictable operating environment, have led
    McDonald's to conclude that continued ownership of the
    business in Russia is no longer tenable,
    nor is it consistent with McDonald's values."

    McDonald's said its employees will still be paid until the transaction closes.
    CEO Chris Kempczinski said he's proud of the more than 60,000 workers
    employed in Russia and said the decision was "extremely difficult."
    "However, we have a commitment to our global community and
    must remain steadfast in our values. And our commitment to our
    values means that we can no longer keep the Arches shining there," he said.

    The decision brings to a remarkable end McDonald's three-decade
    relationship with Russia. McDonald's opened the doors of its first
    restaurant in Moscow on January 31, 1990. More than 30,000 were
    served and the Pushkin Square location had to stay open hours later
    than planned because of the crowds.

    Its arrival in Moscow was about more than just Big Macs and fries,
    noted Darra Goldstein, a Russia expert at Williams College. It was
    the most prominent example of Soviet Union President Gorbechev's
    attempt to open up his crumbling country to the outside world.

    Two years later, the Soviet Union would collapse.
    McDonald's exit in 2022 "represents a new isolationism in Russia.

    China's economy suffering

    (CNN Business)

    China has reported disappointing economic data for the month of April,
    underscoring the extensive damage Covid lockdowns have wreaked.

    The world's 2nd largest economy reported shocking drops in retail
    sales and factory production, widely missing market expectations.
    Retail sales plunged 11.1% in April.

    Industrial production fell 2.9% last month from a year earlier,
    reversing a 5% gain in March. This marks the worst contraction in
    industrial production since February 2020, when China's economy
    came to a near standstill during the initial coronavirus outbreak.

    Unemployment also surged to the second highest level on record.
    China's urban jobless rate hit 6.1% in April.

    So far, at least 31 cities in the country remain under full or partial
    lockdown, according to CNN's latest calculations. Shanghai, the
    country's financial center and a manufacturing hub, has been under
    lockdown for more than six weeks.
    During this period, many companies have been forced to suspend
    operations, causing supply chain issues around the world.an_light

    Pelosi banned from receiving communion in San Francisco archdiocese over her having the same position on abortion as 66% of America, and allowed by the Pope!

    (CNN)

    The conservative archbishop of San Francisco,

    Salvatore Cordileone, says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may no longer receive the holy sacrament of Communion in the archdiocese, because she supports abortion rights.


    Pope Francis has spoken out against the moves by some American bishops to permit individual bishops to deny Communion to politicians who support abortion rights.

    The Communion refusal movement is driven by a more conservative wing of the Catholic Church.

    I saw that too.  It's remarkable, especially since the Pope has advised his church not to do what that conservative bishop in San Francisco is doing

    The timing of this does not pass the smell test. Musk has pushed back against social media censorship by his purchase of Twitter and now your 'woke', globalist mob responds with more dirty tricks. 

    I'm morally shocked alright, because of your inability to interpret reality.

    A declaration signed by the attendant's friend detailed the incident, which reportedly took place in 2016.

The attendant reportedly told her friend that SpaceX encouraged her to get licensed as a masseuse, so she could give Musk massages. She said Musk propositioned her during one such massage.
