So far, everything we have seen of the millions of pages of Epstein bullshit has exonerated Trump and crucified Clinton, Gates, Prince Andrew and whoever.

"The 37-year-old, who calls himself an Antifa member, faces federal charges of interstate threatening communications and cyberstalking after January social media posts urging followers to arm themselves and violently confront ICE officers. Prosecutors say he labeled agents 'gestapo' and 'murderers,' posted threats like 'This is where ICE has come to die,' and doxxed a pro-ICE individual by sharing personal details. "

Wagner faces up to 10 years in an actual prison.  It's worth mentioning that he also likes dressing as a woman.

Not guilty!

"...Wall Street’s yearslong bet on AI is facing a severe test on Thursday, as investors might begin to view OpenAI—and generative AI in general—not as a catalyst for continuous growth, but as a source of systemic risk for Big Tech.

A sharp selloff in tech stocks on Thursday underscored investors’ exhaustion with the “spend now, profit later” model that has propelled the AI bull market for three years. Microsoft led the retreat, with its shares plummeting 12% by noon, erasing more than $440 billion in market value, a collapse it hasn’t seen since the pandemic. The Nasdaq was down almost 2% at time of writing..."

I used to work for a company that made this kind of thing.  In fact, this one might have come from there.

In the modern observational record, Lake Erie has reached full ice cover only three times: 1978, 1979, and 1996, with 1996 being the most recent. 

What followed was not a simple return to normal conditions. It marked the beginning of a new definition of winter behavior across the Great Lakes, and a new limnological era for Lake Erie.

Winter conditions influence spring water clarity, shoreline conditions, and nearshore water quality, affecting swimmers, anglers, boaters, and beach communities months after the ice is gone. Ice cover also shapes winter navigation and shipping, influencing port operations, icebreaking demands, and regional commerce.
Lake Erie is nearly completely frozen today.
What follows could shape lake ecology for decades to com

Took me a few years to figure it out but now I can toss out a good guess as to how much ice Lake E has but how many "Sea" Gulls we have on the river here. We have a few resident Gulls but the number jumps when the lake is frozen.

We don't want your kind here!


"...Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino was reportedly asked to leave a Las Vegas bar out of safety concerns for the venue’s customers.


Days after being removed from his post in Minneapolis, Bovino headed to Sin City, where he was spotted drinking wine at the multi-level Bottled Blonde sports bar on the Las Vegas Strip.

A representative from the establishment told the Daily Beast that the 55-year-old officer is no longer welcome there.

“Upon becoming aware of the individual’s presence, the patron was asked to leave the premises and was escorted out by staff in accordance with venue policy to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all patrons,” the venue said.

Bottled Blonde did not provide further details other than describing itself as a private business that “does not engage in political activity or affiliations” and “reserves the right to refuse service to any patron at its discretion.”..."
