The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“Mr. Bradley previously testified that the reason he left the firm was totally and completely covered by privilege. When asked by the state, he went into a factual scenario, that, to my mind, I don’t see how it related to privilege at all. And, so, now I’m left wondering if Mr. Bradley has been properly interpreting privilege this entire time.” Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee


Quote II

“We expect to close roughly 15-20 stores per year in the near term," Best Buy Chief executive office Corie Barry

Quote III

“When something this big happens, people act certain ways and if there’s issues with somebody to begin with, this can cause it to be even worse.And then it all just kind of blows up.” Co-owner Jayme Cousins


Quote IV

"Every time I look at the news, there's another commitment to help foreign countries. We probably helped Ukraine, probably $100 billion or so, and we can't get debt relief for American citizens in this country," John Boyd, Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association

Everyone with an ounce of common sense knew that former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin was right. Socialized medicine and active death panels.

Explosive leaked documents have emerged that show medical staff were ordered to euthanize patients who had been admitted to hospital and tested positive for COVID-19.

The official documents were leaked from the UK’s state-funded National Health Service (NHS).

The docs further confirm the previous reporting from Slay News that revealed patients were euthanized in order to boost the numbers for “Covid deaths.”

As Slay News reported, smoking gun evidence revealed that tens of thousands of elderly people were murdered to boost the mortality rates.

The data produced for the report indicated that people were being euthanized using a fatal injection of Midazolam.

Somebody we all know and detest must be running low on grifter funding. Liz Cheney threatens us she might run against President Trump.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) hasn’t ruled out running for president this year, vowing she will do whatever is necessary to stop former President Donald Trump.

Cheney, who was once the chairwoman of the Republican Conference, is one of Trump’s fiercest detractors. While she lost a primary challenge in 2022 to a pro-Trump candidate, she has remained a prominent political figure and has left her options open to future campaigns.

OK old has been rocker. You can show dead bodies of gun shot victims. We can show photos of aborted fetuses babies. He probably won't go for that.

There's a particularly twisted subset of gun control fans who firmly believe that if Americans are only exposed to the sight of murder victims after they've been shot and killed, they'll support every one of the anti-2A infringements the gun control lobby wants to shove down our throats. I've always liked John Mellencamp's music, whether he was going by Johnny Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp, or just plain old John Mellencamp, so it's disappointing to see that he's among those who are convinced that exploiting dead children is a price worth paying, so long as it leads to gun bans that will be ignored by the very people who've robbed those children of their future.


I live in a small township. About 1650 residents. I bet every household has at least 2 guns conservatively. That puts about 3300 guns in the hands of every resident. How many murders did we have last year? The year before? The past decade? None, zero, zilch, nadda. People kill people. Some use guns, some use knives, some use blunt force trauma.

I think there is more to this story than meets the eye. Genius Award Winner(s)

T. PETERSBURG, Fla. (TND) — The rideshare driver who picked up Jason Robert Hagerty last Saturday and drove him home in Florida had no idea what he was in for, but he recorded it on his cellphone.

According to the arrest report, Hagerty “sat in the front passenger seat of the victim’s vehicle" on his way home.


That's when, the report said, “The defendant displayed and exposed his [body part] and then began to masturbate the duration of the ride until arriving at his residence in [St. Petersburg].
Imagine being the driver.

The victim speaks no English,” the report said, “and was unable to tell the defendant to stop.

ECU Pirates' Parker Byrd Becomes First Player In Division 1 History To Play With Prosthetic Leg


A true story of heart and determination played out on the baseball field for East Carolina on Friday night, with Parker Byrd making his first ever collegiate start. But this was more than just any debut, as Byrd became the first ever player in Division 1 history to compete with a prosthetic leg.

In front of a sold-out crowd, Parker Byrd returned to competitive baseball for the first time since a boating accident led to the sophomore having his leg amputated in the summer of 2022. After 23 surgeries, Byrd was cleared to compete again in the sport he loves.
