“Meanwhile, I don’t know about where you live Jesse. But in my state, the price of gas is so high, that it would be cheaper to buy cocaine and just run everywhere,”Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)

Huh! I did not know this. CTU Agent Jack Bauer saved Mike Pence's bacon.

In light of the January 6th hearings, we felt it was prudent to provide a detailed timeline of that fateful day to refresh your memory. We put our best historians and hackers on the project so we could bring you the most accurate and classified details yet.

Here is the official timeline of those terrifying events on January 6, 2021:

It is expected tomorrow The SCOTUS will release its decision which will overturn Roe vs. Wade. The FBI warns it will not accept violence. Somehow I don't believe them.

With the current term of the U.S. Supreme Court drawing to a close and a decision that could see the overturn of Roe v. Wade looming, the FBI released a statement Friday that emphasized precisely why the American people are losing faith in federal institutions.

Since Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion regarding Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked at the beginning of May, there have been unrelenting protests ranging from mild to violent extremism. Despite the consistent and credible threats a number of these protests have presented, particularly to the conservative members of the court, the FBI waited until two days after a failed assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh to declare they will not tolerate “violence or criminal activity under the guise of…demonstration.”

Prince Andrew 'wants HRH reinstated and his position recognised and respected'

The Duke of York has reportedly asked the Queen to restore his status as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards after being stripped of his titles last year amid the fallout from his civil sex case

Inanimate objects do not kill people on their own. People who hate, have no moral compass and/or mentally ill do. Thank you typical RINOS.

Senate Democrats have found 10 Republican Senators to endorse a sweeping “gun safety bill” that would inevitably be signed by President Biden if it navigates the Senate. Biden has already praised the legislation, mentioning that it “would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades.” It is possible that more Republicans could join, as several others have showed interest, including Marco Rubio, Lisa Murkowski, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

I'm so confused about "Green Energy". We are told that relying on "Renewable Energy" will not only help out the environment. But will help our checkbooks as well. Big Tech says not so fast Warren Buffett.

Google, Facebook and Microsoft Corp. ? three of the world?s biggest corporate buyers of clean power ? are sounding the alarm that a nearly $4 billion, Warren Buffett-backed renewable-energy project proposed in Iowa isn?t necessarily in the best interest of customers, including them.

If approved, it would be the largest complex of wind farms in the entire country when it comes online by the end of 2024, producing enough electricity for more than 700,000 homes. MidAmerican Energy, a utility owned by Buffett conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has asked state regulators to approve terms including a guaranteed 11.25% rate of return before starting construction on a project it says will help in its efforts to trim carbon emissions by 75% compared to 2005 levels.

But the big-name tech giants that operate data centers in the state warn the project, dubbed Wind Prime, could drive up electricity costs. MidAmerican, they say, should consider alternatives. ?We have concerns that the current Wind Prime proposal is not in the energy customers? best interest,? Corina Standiford, a spokeswoman for Alphabet Inc.?s Google, said in an email.

Big Tech doesn't care about your checkbook. Follow the money and somehow with Buffett profiting they won't. That's what irks them.

Troopers and firefighters from Boston and Chelsea responded to the bridge at 12:04 p.m. for a man threatening to jump from the southbound upper deck. Responding patrols reported that the man had crossed over the barrier and was on the edge of the bridge, contemplating jumping.

Shortly after 12:30 p.m., Trooper O’Connor convinced the man to come back over the fence to the road side of the bridge. Trooper O’Connor then sat with the man and talked to him for a while until EMS took him to a Boston hospital for evaluation.

"We wish him recovery and a safe and healthy future," the department said in the Facebook post.
